Poster communication – Adaptation to and mitigation of global warming

Context and purpose of the study. Heatwaves have become more frequent and intense in several winegrowing regions.

The red Italian variety Nebbiolo (Vitis vinifera L.), used in the production of the prestigious Barolo and Barbaresco wines, is renowned for its aromatic and structural complexity but also for its low color intensity.

Context and purpose of the study. `Grüner Veltliner´ is the most important Austrian white quality wine variety, which is mainly used to produce primary fruity wines.

Actually, many countries around the world are studying different strategies for adapting winegrowing regions to climate changes, focusing on a sustainable viticulture.

Climate change impacts grape production worldwide and in California drought and salinity became increasingly challenging for grape growers to maintain sustainable production and fruit quality.

Context and purpose of the study. Nitrogen (N) limitation enhances the production of phenolic compounds in grapes due to the downregulation of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway.

Context and purpose of the study. The seasons immediately following planting are key growth stages where young vines are particularly susceptible to various forms of damage.

Context and Purpose of the Study. A deeper understanding of the relationship between weather conditions and wine quality is essential for assessing the impact of climate change and developing effective adaptation strategies.

This project aims on monitoring the plant development and comparison of the effects of various training systems on vine fertility and physiological processes.
