Above and below: soil moisture and soil temperature interact to alter grapevine water relations
The combined effect of soil moisture and soil temperature on grapevine physiology is gaining interest in the context of global warming.

Exploring magnesium defficiency in Welschriesling grapevines: A multi-omics approach to address viticultural challenges
Magnesium (Mg) deficiency poses a significant challenge to viticulture, particularly affecting Welschriesling (WR), a key grape variety in Austrian and Central European vineyards.
Factors influencing cover crop water competition in vineyards and implications for future drought adaptation
Vineyard water management in Australia is often associated with irrigation in warm and hot climates, but in cooler regions the larger share of the seasonal water demand is met by rainfall.
Root water uptake patterns in rootstock-scion interactions influence grape water use strategies in a Mediterranean vineyard
Increasing drought is the most important impact of the ongoing climate change in the Mediterranean Basin, and it is predicted to result in productivity decreases and changes in grape quality.
The effects of soil health management practices on soil organic carbon persistence and accrual in vineyards
Context and purpose of the study. Climate change is already threatening California vineyards, as they grapple with increasing extreme weather events and drier growing seasons.
Under-vine cover crops in viticulture: impact of different weed management practices on weed suppression, yield and quality of grapevine cultivar Riesling
The regulation of weeds, particularly in the under-vine area of grapevines, is essential for the maintenance of grape yield and quality.
