Zoning, environment, and landscape: historic and perspective

Abstract

[English version below]

Dans une approche globale, nous proposons la définition suivante du zonage : “représentation cartographique associée à une sectorisation du territoire en zones unitaires homogènes à partir de facteurs discriminants établis sur la base d’indicateurs quantifiables et d’avis d’experts”. La première application de cette méthode a porté sur la caractérisation du terroir en liaison avec les aspects qualitatifs des vins. Il est également possible d’envisager d’appliquer cette démarche dans les stratégies environnementales et paysagères liées aux approches territoriales et aux pratiques viticoles. Cette méthode peut servir de base dans la mise en œuvre des outils financiers associés aux mesures environnementales (CTE, aides spécifiques). Le zonage est déjà utilisé sur le plan législatif vis-à-vis de l’utilisation des amendements azotés (zones vulnérables) et de la protection des espèces (biotope, natura 2000). Dans le cadre d’une application spécifique à la viticulture associé à la multifonctionnalité du terroir, plusieurs axes peuvent être envisagés:
– Vulnérabilité des sols au transfert de polluants,
– Cartes d’érosion et d’aptitudes à l’enherbement
– Caractérisation microbiologique des sols,
– Protection des paysages,
– Application sectorisée des modèles de prévision des maladies.

In a global approach, we propose the following definition as regards zoning: “cartographic representation associated to a division into sectors of the territory in homogeneous unitarian zones from discriminants factors established on the basis of quantifiable indicators and of experts opinions”. The first application of this method concerned the soil characterization in contact with the qualitative wine aspects. It is also possible to intend to apply this step in the environmental and landscaped strategies bound to the territorial approaches and to the wine practices. This method can serve as base in the application of the financial tools associated to the environmental measures (CTE, specific helps). Zoning is already used on the legislative plan towards the nitrogenous amendments use (vulnerable zones) and the sorts protection (biotope, NATURA 2000). Within the framework of a specific vine growing application associated to the soil multifunctionality, several axes can be envisaged:
– Ground vulnerabilities in the pollutant transfers,
– Cards of erosion and capacities in the enherbement,
– Microbiologie characterization of grounds,
– Landscape protections,
– Sectorised application of the disease forecast models.

Le pays du Brulhois

Depuis un an, nous essayons de mettre en place un projet de développement socio-économique et culturel d’une zone située essentiellement au sud de la Garonne et à cheval sur 3 départements (le Lot et Garonne, le Gers et le Tam et Garonne) et sur 2 régions (l’Aquitaine et Midi Pyrénées): le pays du Brulhois, “porte de la Gascogne”.

Oxygen transfer through cork stoppers

During wine conservation in a bottle, the control of oxygen transfer from the outside environment to the wine inside the bottle is a key parameter that determines the wine quality. Many other factors can also influence the evolution of wine during postbottling aging,

Pro-active management of grapevine trunk diseases by means of sanitation in nurseries

Several trunk diseases cause decline and premature dieback of grapevines. In vineyards, these pathogens gain entry into plants through unprotected wounds. Wounds are also frequently infected during the propagation stages. The pathogens survive in infected plants in a latent form and cause disease in older grapevines or in plants that are

Grape development revisited through the single-berry metabolomic clock paradigm

Although the ripening process of grapevine berries is well-documented at the vineyard level, pinpointing distinct developmental stages remains challenging. The asynchronous development of berries results in dynamic biases and metabolic chimerism. It is thus crucial to consider individual berries separately and resynchronize their internal clock for deciphering physiological changes throughout development. Given the importance of grape composition in wine quality, we aimed at measuring developmental changes in the metabolome of Syrah single berries from anthesis to over-ripening, without a priori preconceived.

Mining terroir influence on bioactive polyphenols from grape stems: A correlation-network-driven approach to spatialize metabolomics data

In viticulture, the concept of terroir is often used to enlighten the environmental-based typicity of grapevines grown in a local area however its scientific basis remains under debate. Grape polyphenols as key player of the plant defense system enables adaptation to environmental changes and so far, form a unique metabolic component to investigate the terroir influence.
