Abstract:
Climate change is one of the major challenges of our century and the effects of climate change on the anthropic ecosystems represent an alarming concern. Based on these assumptions, the present research project aims to evaluate the agro-biological potential of some varieties of apricot, plum, sweet cherry, apple, walnut, raspberry and blackberry in the context of the current climate changes in order to establish a range of cultural assortments and cultivation technologies that will allow achieving sustainable and competitive ecosystems.
The research objectives are focused on the growth and improvement of the research-development activity by accumulating fundamental knowledge, on developing solutions for sustainable ecosystems by choosing the most adapted apricot, plum, sweet cherry, apple, walnut, raspberry and blackberry varieties for each studied area and on adjusting appropriate cultivation technologies.
