FREIRE-CORREIA, Miguel. Clima e olivicultura: Potencialidades locais na região de Alvega. GOT [online]. 2014, n.5, pp.117-142. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2014.5.005.

The regional soil and climate influence the physiological mechanisms of the olive tree (Olea europaea L.) as reflected in their oil production and the potential location of olive groves; that also depends on the local climate changes, still little known in its applied aspects. The purpose of this research is to test a methodology for assessing the local agroclimatic potential for oliviculture in the Alvega region capable of extrapolation to other crops and regions. The methodology is based on the spatial distribution of the local agroclimatic suitability and constraints of oliviculture. The map of local agroclimatic potential for oliviculture in the Alvega region is a tool that can be applied in spatial planning and management of agricultural land.

Keywords : local climates; oliviculture; agroclimatic potentialities; agricultural spatial planning; Alvega region.
