Learning from remote sensing data: a case study in the Trentino region 

Abstract

Recent developments in satellite technology have yielded a substantial volume of data, providing a foundation for various machine learning approaches. These applications, utilizing extensive datasets, offer valuable insights into Earth’s conditions. Examples include climate change analysis, risk and damage assessment, water quality evaluation, and crop monitoring. Our study focuses on exploiting satellite thermal and multispectral imaging, and vegetation indexes, such as NDVI, in conjunction with ground truth information about soil type, land usage (forest, urban, crop cultivation), and irrigation water sources in the Trentino region in North-East of Italy. Trentino, characterized by diverse landscapes ranging from forests to crop fields, is notable for its grapevine cultivation, a significant contributor to the Italian wine industry. Our research aims to analyze the past two decades of satellite data (NASA and Copernicus) using supervised and unsupervised learning methods. The objective is to develop models for soil classification, assessing crop health and growth stage (phenology), and optimizing water management practices, specifically in the context of tree crops (mainly vineyards and apple orchards) in this region. This analytical approach seeks to contribute to a more systematic understanding of the environmental and agricultural dynamics in Trentino, facilitating informed and sustainable land management practices.

Sensory and consumer perceptions, and consumption barriers of low and no-alcohol wines in Trentino/Alto Adige

The growing demand for non-alcoholic beverages, driven by health-conscious consumers and shifting social norms, has positioned dealcoholized wines as a promising alternative in the global beverage industry (Akhtar et al., 2025, in press; Kakroo, 2024).

Ten years soil diagnosis in vineyards, with particularly analysis of organic and microbial mass and measuring their evolution

Since 1996, we study the soil in viticulture, specially in the South of France. In the field, we delimit soil units and observe soil profiles and take samples to analyse its physical, mineral, organic and microbial mass composition

Evolution of biogenic amines content in wine during sample conservation – method optimisation for analysis of biogenicamines

The present paper reports the development of an optimized method for simultaneous analysis of
8 biogenic amines (Histamine, Methylamine, Ethylamine, Tyramine, Putrescine, Cadaverine, Phenethylamine, and Isoamylamine). It is based on a method developed by Gomez-Alonso et al. in 2007.

Early fermentation aroma profiles of grape must produced by various non-Saccharomyces starters

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most commonly used yeast species in winemaking. The recent research showed that non-Saccharomyces yeasts as fermentation starters show numerous beneficial features and can be utilized to reduce wine alcoholic strength, regulate acidity, serve as bioprotectants, and finally improve wine aromatic complexity. The majority of published studies on this topic investigated the influence of sequential or co-inoculations of non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae yeasts on the aroma of final wine.

Stem growth disorder and xylem anatomy modifications during esca pathogenesis in grapevines

Esca is a grapevine vascular disease with detrimental consequences on vineyard yield and longevity. Recently, esca leaf symptom development has been shown to result in the occlusion of xylem vessels by tyloses in leaves and stems, leading to hydraulic failure. However, little is known regarding the response of xylem anatomy and stem growth to esca in different varieties . Here we studied the impact of esca leaf symptom development on grapevine physiology, stem growth, and xylem anatomy in two widespread cultivars, Cabernet sauvignon and Sauvignon blanc.
