THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF USING COPPER SULPHATE TO AVOID GRAPEVINE POWDERY MI...

Copper-based fungicides have been used in vineyards throughout the world, for many decades to protect against downy mildew. However, their use results in an accumulation of Cu in surface soils which can potentially impact on the biological health of the soil and could be transported and stored in the sediments deposited close to valley bottoms. In Douro region, northern of Portugal, vineyards are located on ste...

GRAPEVINE CULTIVATION AND THE GEOCHEMISTRY OF ZINC: IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL...

This study presents preliminary results of a research project that aims assessing the environmental impact of intensive grapevine cultivation in the Alto Douro wine region, a World Heritage Site. A total of 50 soil samples were collected from three nearby vineyards of different ages. Surface drainage of these vineyards discharges into an important water reservoir, the Varosa Dam. The dam collects water from two...

Geoquímica e qualidade ambiental de solos urbanos

Os ecossistemas urbanos representam um elevado consumo de recursos, tendo um efeito insustentável no meio ambiente. Os solos urbanos são utilizados durante o desenvolvimento urbano e necessitam de ser geridos para serem preservados e deste modo manter o seu papel de suporte e aumentar a qualidade de vida. Sendo os solos considerados fontes e acumuladores de poluição é importante desenvolver metodologias para av...
