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.

IMPACT OF ABIOTIC AND BIOTIC FACTORS ON BIOADHESION PROPERTIES OF BRETTANOMYCES BRUXELLENSIS

Brettanomyces bruxellensis is an ubiquitous yeast associated with different fermentation media such as beer and kombucha, where its presence is beneficial to bring an aromatic typicity. However, it is a main spoilage yeast in wines, in which it produces volatile phenols responsible for organoleptic deviations causing significant economic losses (Chatonnet et al., 1992). Cellar and winery equipment’s are considered as the first source of contamination, during fermentation and wine ageing process (Connel et al., 2002). Indeed, it is possible to find B. bruxellensis in the air, on walls and floors of the cellars, on small materials, vats and barrels.

From grapevines to extreme environments … and back?

I performed my PhD in grapevine physiology under the supervision of Dr. H. Medrano, standing in the vineyards from pre-dawn to sunrise during many hot, wet and sunny days with my colleagues J.M.E. and J.B. I also spent many days and nights facing ticks year-round working in Mediterranean macchias with J.Gu. and M.M. Later I was able to supervise PhD students on grapevines – like A.P. and M.T. – and on Mediterranean vegetation – like J.Gal. With the incorporation to the group of M.R.-C. ‘the puzzle’ was completed and, combining the aforementioned studies, we could conclude (more than 20 years ago) things like: (1) stomatal conductance is the best proxy for ‘water stress’ in studies on photosynthesis; (2) steady-state chlorophyll fluorescence retrieves photosynthesis under saturating light; (3) photoinhibition is not a major photosynthetic limitation under water stress; (4) mesophyll conductance instead is; and (5) mesophyll conductance is a major driver of leaf water use efficiency.

Fractal analysis as a tool for delimiting guarantee of quality areas

The pioneering work of Mandelbrot in the 70’s for building the fractal theory lead rapidly to many interesting applications in different fields such as earth sciences and economy.

Exploring the dynamic between yeast mannoproteins structure and wine stability

Mannoproteins are macromolecules found on the surface of yeast cells, composed of hyperbranched polysaccharide negatively charged chains by mannosyl-phosphate groups, fixed to a protein core. during the alcoholic fermentation and aging on lees, these mannoproteins are released from the yeast cell wall and become the main yeast-sourced polysaccharide in wine. due to their techno-functional properties, commercial preparations of mannoproteins can be used as additives to better assure tartaric and protein stability.

Timing of leaf removal effects on vitis vinifera L. Cv. Grenache differed on two contrasting seasons

Warming trends over the winegrowing regions lead to an advance of grapevine phenology, diminution of yield and increased sugar content and must pH with a lower polyphenol content, especially anthocyanins. Canopy management practices are applied to control the source sink balance and improve the cluster microclimate to enhance berry composition. We hyphothesized that an early leaf removal might promote a delayed ripening through severe defoliation after fruitset; whereas, a late leaf removal at mid-ripening would reduce sugar accumulation.
