Integrated analysis of climate, soil, topography and vegetative growth in Iberian viticultural regions.

The Iberian viticultural regions are convened according to the Denomination of Origin (DO) and present different climates, soils, topography and management practices. All these elements influence the vegetative growth of different varieties throughout the peninsula, and are tied to grape quality and...
