CUNHA, J.; CUNHA, J. P.; LOUSA, M.  and  EIRAS-DIAS, J.E.. The riverine forests, source of genetic diversity of Vitis vinifera L.. Ciência Téc. Vitiv. [online]. 2004, vol.19, n.2, pp.1-12. ISSN 0254-0223.

The great biodiversity of the fauna and the flora that integrates the riparian forests, as well as their contribution for the physical regulation of the environment stabilization of the geomorphology, control of the hydrological characteristics of the fluvial systems and decontamination of waters, confers an important role to the ecological balance of essential ecosystems for human life. However, one can realize a lack of studies on the species of the riparian forests, namely on their agronomic interest and on the rusticity coming from distant generations. Therefore this work can constitute a first scientific and technical approach on the riparian forests as source of biological diversity of the species Vitis vinifera L., namely the spontaneous wild subspecies (sylvestris).

Keywords : biodiversity; riparian forests; Vitis vinifera L.; wild vines.
