Assessment and analysis of heat provision vulnerability in the main wine-producing region of Armenia (Ararat valley and foothill area) within the context of expected climate change
Keywords:
grape, heat provision, vulnerability, climate change, main wine-producing region, Ararat Valley and foothill area
Abstract
The paper reviews and assesses heat provision conditions of Armenia's main wine-producing region (Ararat Valley and foothill area), analyzes the patterns of temporal distribution of heat provision and determines how they are affected by the global climate change.
It demonstrates increase of active temperatures observed in the main wine-producing region.
