Testing the Influence of Climatic Conditions on Nutritional Content of some Wild Berries Species from Mărișel Area, Romania

The present study was conduceted in order to identify the influence of specific climatic conditions of the harvesting area on dry matter content of four species of wild berries (Rubus idaeus L., Ribes nigrum L., Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. and Vaccinium myrtillus L.), being known the direct proportionality between above mentioned trait and the nutritional value of the plant, harvested from Marisel area Cluj County, in 2020. The results of the study emphasizes that only environmental temperature and precipitation has an influence. The coefficients of multiple correlation between the two above mentioned climatic factors and dry matter emphasize moderate multiple correlations, the strongest (R = 0.561) being reported in lingonberry, and the lowest value (R = 0.458) in bilberry.
