Spatial characterization of land use in the viticultural Maipo Valley (Chile), using aster image digital processing

Abstract

[English version below]

L’entreprise viticole Concha y Toro S.A. gère environ 600 ha de vignes dans la Vallée du Maipo (A.O. Valle del Maipo). L’objectif est celui de caractériser spatialement ces vignobles et leur occupation du sol environnante. Le choix s’est porté vers la démarche de zonage viticole par l’analyse spatiale, utilisant des traitements d’images satellitaires afin d’avoir une vision synoptique de la zone à moindres coûts et délais. Un système d’informations géographiques (SIG) est construit à partir des données suivantes : cartes topographiques, géologique, fond cadastral numérique, images satellitaires. Un modèle numérique de terrain est par ailleurs construit à une résolution de 25 m à partir des cartes topographiques. Deux images Aster (résolution de 15 m) prises au mois d’octobre 2000 et janvier 2001 ont été choisies. Une cartographie de l’occupation du sol a été effectuée sur l’image satellitaire de janvier nous permettant par ailleurs d’actualiser les cartes topographiques datant de 1974, en raison notamment de l’expansion urbaine de la ville de Santiago en périphérie des vignes. Par ailleurs, l’étude diachronique mise en œuvre conduit à analyser les comportements spectraux des vignes et des sols et leur évolution spectrale entre les deux dates retenues.

Concha y Toro S.A. wine enterprise controls about 600 hectares of vineyards in the Maipo Valley (A.O. Valle del Maipo). Our purpose is to carry out a spatial characterization of vineyards and their surrounding land use, based on spatial analysis and using satellite image processing which enables to get a broad synoptic vision of the area at low cost. A geographic information system (GIS) is built with the following data: topographic maps, geological maps, digital cadastral database and satellite images. A digital elevation model (DEM) is made from the topographic maps at a 25 meters-resolution. Two high resolutions Aster images (15 meters) captured in October 2000 and January 2001 were chosen. Land use is spatially characterized using the January image. It enables us to update the land use cover extracted from the topographic maps and dating 1974, especially because of the urban sprawl of the city of Santiago amongst vines. More, the image diachronic study leads to analyze the spectral behavior of vine and soil and its evolution from January to February 2001.

Chemical and sensory profile of Brazilian red wines upon the cultivar and geographic origin of vineyards

Many vineyards implanted in Brazil in the last 20 years are placed under very different natural conditions if compared to Serra Gaúcha, the oldest and more traditional viticultural region in the country.

The use of δ13C as an indicator of water use efficiency for the selection of drought tolerant grapevine varieties

In the context of climate change with increasing evaporative demand, understanding the water use behavior of different grapevine cultivars is of critical importance. Carbon isotope discrimination (δ13C) measurements in wine provide a precise and integrated assessment of the water status of the vines during the sugar accumulation period in grape berries. When collected over multiple vintages on different cultivars, δ13C measurements can also provide insights into the effects of genotype on water use efficiency.

Mixed starters Schizosaccharomyces japonicus/Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a novel tool to improve the aging stability of Sangiovese wines

In the present work Schizosaccharomyces japonicus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were inoculated simultaneously or in sequence in mixed fermentation trials with the aim of testing their ability to improve the overall quality of red wine

Transcriptomic and metabolomic responses to wounding and grafting in grapevine

Grafting plants uses intrinsic healing processes to join two different plants together to create one functional organism. To further our understanding of the molecular changes occurring during graft union formation in grapevine, we characterized the metabolome and transcriptome of intact and wounded cuttings (with and without buds to represent scions and rootstocks respectively), and homo- and heterografts at 0 and 14 days after wounding/grafting. As over-wintering, dormant plant material was grafted, we also characterized the gene expression changes in the wood during bud burst and spring activation of growth. We observed an asymmetrical pattern of gene expression between above and below the graft interface, auxin and sugar related genes were up-regulated above the graft interface, while genes involved in stress responses were up-regulated below the graft interface.

Un exemple de valorisation d’une étude de terroir au sein d’une unité coopérative de production à Saint Hilaire d’Ozilhan (Gard) dans les cotes du Rhône

The winegrowers of the intercommunal cooperative cellar of Saint Hilaire d’Ozilhan have been practicing terroir selection for ten years. Five years ago, after having equipped themselves with an efficient commercial structure, and anxious to improve knowledge of their terroirs and to better control quantitatively and qualitatively the range of typicality that they can develop, they asked the Syndicate Général des Vignerons Réunis des Côtes du Rhône and the Institut Coopératif du Vin to help them set up an approach to better judge the behavior of the Grenache and Syrah grape varieties in the different terroirs, then to enhance this work through the improving product quality.
