Abstract :
This work provides and relates the data of the pedoclimatic characterization and production performance of 4 truffles of Tuber magnatum typical of the Piedmont hills, on the basis of a multi-annual monitoring. The comparison of the collected and processed data provides a useful framework to better understand how the variation of the main physical and chemical parameters of the soil of the investigated ecosystems, in relation to the hypotheses of climate change, can influence the truffle fructification. This information also offers useful insights to guide the best management and conservation of the resource, endangered by anthropogenic pressure at global and local level, due to climate change and progressive transformation of the territory of historical truffle suitability.
