TYPES AND STRUCTURE OF LANDSCAPES OF VITICULTURAL RIGIONS ON THE RIGHT BANK OF THE RIVER DON FOR IDENTIFICATION OF MICROZONES FOR HIGH-QUALITY WINEMAKING

Abstract

The characteristic of the entire diversity of land-scapes of the right bank of the Lower Don and its tributaries from the city of Konstantinovsk to the city of Tsimlyansk, corresponding taxonomic levels that differ qualitatively from each other by landscape-forming factors, taking into account the degree of influence of these individual fac-tors and their different ratios among themselves on the growth of the grape plant, the yield of grapes, the quality of grapes and products ob-tained from it. The object of the research is the landscapes of the right bank of the Don River from the city Konstantinovka to the city Tsim-lyansk, its main tributaries at the mesorelief level and landscape-forming factors – geography, re-lief, soil and groundwater. The research method is the study of historical and literary data on vit-iculture on the Right Bank of the Lower Don, obtaining the necessary landscape-forming data by drilling wells to a depth of up to 10 m with a morphological description of their soil, geologi-cal and hydrogeological profile, with the selec-tion of soil and groundwater samples for chemi-cal analysis.
