"The study is situated at an elevation of around 1550 m a.s.l. on a southwest facing slope of the Venosta Valley in northern Italy. Average (1980–2010) annual temperature amounts to 6.5 °C, annual precipitation to 550 mm. The study site is lightly grazed by cattle and sheep in spring and fall. During summer, plant growth is limited by low soil water contents. Vegetation is hence dominated by drought and grazing adapted grasses (Festuca valesiaca agg.), herbs (Hieracium pilosella agg.) and shrubs (Juniperus communis agg.). Soils are shallow leptosols and characterised by high sand and silt contents." (Wohlfahrt et al. 2016).
