Assessment of Anthropogenic Ecological Systems in the Apold Depression to a Sustainable Management

The Apold Depression and especially the locality of Apoldu de Jos are mentioned in historical writings from the earliest times. It was mentioned in official documents as early as 1288 by the king of Hungary, Ladislaus IV the Cuman (1272- 1290). A community of free people, they harnessed their natural resources in such a way that they still have a good reputation. Sustainable management of this area is very important for viticulture and agriculture. Due to its geographical position, the Apold Depression was always a favorable place for the cultivation of grapevine. The crops recorded the mark of a redox environment which favors the accumulation of free and bonded aromas in grapes. The research studies have shown that these aromas are clearly influenced by the geological structure of the area, soil composition, climate, exposure, slope, abundance of precipitations. All these give typicality to the wines of a vineyard (goût de terroir).
