TABLE 1.

Environmental conditions (air temperature, soil moisture, and vapor-pressure deficit) at the three sites in Puma Canyon Ecological Reserve.

	Air temperature (°C)	Soil moisture (1–10 index)	Vapor-pressure deficit (kPa)
South-eastern slope	6.64 ± 0.21 (a)	2.31 ± 0.13 (b)	1.11 ± 0.008 (a)
Alluvial fan	7.19 ± 0.27 (a)	3.22 ± 0.36 (a)	1.12 ± 0.009 (a)
North-western slope	6.76 ± 0.17 (a)	2.31 ± 0.22 (ab)	1.12 ± 0.009 (a)
One-way ANOVA (site)	p = 0.751	p = 0.019	p = 0.999

Letters in parenthesis indicate significant differences across means at p = 0.05 (n = 9–49).
