A sunny slope is the most important natural factor in the cultivation of barley and wheat. Very rarely they are cultivated in ubac fields, but close investigation showed them to be of secondary '''adret''' nature. In this case seeds are sown a month earlier and mown ten days later than on the '''adret''' slope.}}

The advantages of '''''adret''''' slopes, which are usually drier and more protected, are evident and of paramount importance. '''''Adret''''' aspects receive much higher levels of direct sunlight, which produces higher soil and plant temperatures.}}

Above the tree limit, alpine pastures and bare rock outcrops dominate the landscape. The location of the tree limit depends on factors like slope aspect and lithology. On south-facing slopes ('''adrets''') the tree limit can reach as high as 2400 m, but on the shadowy north-facing slopes it is usually near 2200 m.}}
