The evolution of climatic conditions between 1989 and 2021 in representative vine areas of Romania

Abstract

In order to study the impact of global climate changes on the viticultural ecosystem of the vineyards: Iaşi, Dealu Mare, Târnave, Dealu Bujorului, Murfatlar and Odobeşti a database spanning 33 years (1989 – 2021) was created. This database will be used to optimize the zonation of vine varieties for the expansion of the viticultural areas and the replanting of existing ones. In order to establish the ecoclimatic potential for the viticultural areas, climatic factors for vine culture were analyzed and categorized within favorability classes. Thus, all vineyards were classified in favorability class I for the thermal factor (average annual temperature, average temperature in July, useful heat balance), which indicates an abundance of these resources, with the possibility of obtaining quality white and red wines.
