Level areas or slopes facing north.   Some protection against the sun, some shadow from vegetation, filtering about 20 - 40 % of light.   Steep slopes facing south. Or with a vegetation cover which filters 40 - 80 % of light.   Deep ravines facing south with additional shadow from trees. Or with a very dense vegetation cover which gives 80 - 90 % shadow (for instance, the Valdivian forests)   Exposed, but with protection from direct sun through coastal fog.     Humid areas, with almost constant rainfall. Short dry periods are possible (generally not longer than 1 month).   Somewhat dry areas where the draught may last 4 - 5 months. Precipitations of 400 - 800 mm, concentrated in winter.
