Even though the influence of the climatic traits on wild berries production and quality is well known, this issue is of interest to be analysed in connection with specific species, areas, and climate. The present study was conducted for characterizing the crude chemical composition, pH, ascorbic acid, and total phenolics and of studied wild berries species, and quantifying the interrelationships among climatic conditions characterizing the fruits collecting area and their dry matter content. In this aim, there were taken into consideration two species of wild berries, Rubus idaeus L. (raspberry), and Ribes nigrum L. (blackcurrants), respectively, harvested from Colibița area, Bistrița-Năsăud County, in the autumn of 2022. The influences of the precipitations, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and wind velocity on studied wild berries dry matter content are quantified. The above-mentioned climatic parameters were collected from databases, and averages were calculated by wild berries vegetation period (March-September 2022). According to the multiregression analysis, and simple correlations calculation, only precipitations and temperature influence the wild berries dry matter content. The studied interrelationships show that increasing trends in temperature and rainfall regimen are moderate and positively correlated with both fresh and dry yields of raspberry, and blackcurrants.
