Simulating the effects of climate change on vineyard water budget using different regionalised high resolution climate models
Climate change is predicted to lead to atmospheric modifications in temperature, precipitation intensity and distribution and possibly air humidity which will have an impact on soil and plant water budgets.
Variability of estimated dates of the occurrence of development stages of Pinot noir in burgundy, for current and future climate, depending on the phenological model used
The study of present and future impacts of climate change on Pinot noir phenology in Burgundy requires process-based models that estimate the impact of temperature on plant development kinetics.
The impact of climate change on grapevine cultivated area
This paper aims at investigating the impact of climate change on European viticulture in the 21st century, outlining possible shifts in areas suitable for grapevine cultivation.
Viticultural zoning in Europe: inter-annual variability
Climate is one of the main factors controlling winegrape production. Bioclimatic indices describing the suitability of a particular region for wine production are a widely used zoning tool.
Differences in near-isohydric and anisohydric behaviour of four field-grown Vitis vinifera L. cultivars account for leaf specific conductance throughout the season
A field study was conducted during the summer of 2010 to try to explain the differences of stomatal behaviour of grapevine cultivars by the leaf-specific hydraulic conductance (kl).
Carbon isotopic ratio variations related to water stress in some Tuscan and Sicilian wines
In enology, isotopic techniques are very useful to find out some widely practised frauds such as addition of sugar, watering and mislabelling.
Effect of sunlight exposure on the polyphenolic content of grapevine leaves
The study was aimed to identify and evaluate the nonanthocyanin phenolic composition of leaves of three grapevine cultivars native to Hungary.
Preliminary studies of night-time stomatal conductance and transpiration of three field-grown Vitis vinifera L. cultivars
The study was performed in the summer of 2010. The experiment was carried out in an eight year old vineyard grown on trellis with different varieties in La Mancha (Region in the centre of Spain).
Stomatal sensitivity of four grapevine cultivars to soil water status
The study was carried out in an eight year old vineyard grown on trellis with different varieties in La Mancha (Region in the center of Spain).
Evaluation of some parameters related to oxidative stress on two native varieties of grapevine (Cornalin and Petit Rouge) from Aosta Valley: effect of canopy exposure and irrigation
Several environmental stresses, such as light excess, exert their effect by producing ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). Overproduction of ROS causes oxidative damage to cellular components and their involvement in a number of abiotic stresses is well documented.
Meteorological influences on Chardonnay and Cabernet-Sauvignon grapevine phenology and growth
The knowledge of phenological stages of a crop in real time is very important for research and agriculture services. Phenological data correlated to meteorological variables is a useful tool for monitoring climate variability and to improve forecasting model for crop protection against diseases.
Effects of different canopy management techniques on microclimatic dynamics and their impact on grape quality
Meteorological and micro-meteorological variables play an important role on the growth-yield response of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) and as a consequence on the quality of production.
Impact of row orientation on berry quality parameters of white Riesling (Vitis vinifera L.)
In this paper we present preliminary results of the impact of row orientation on quality parameters of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Riesling.
Relationships between climate variability and phenology in grapevine collection in central Italy
Climate has direct and indirect effects on the onset and duration of phenological stages and development of crops.
Influence of different training systems and cultivation measures on nitrogen content and composition in grape must
Nitrogen content and composition of amino acids and especially yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) are essential components for yeast nutrition during fermentation.
Daily evolution of the components of the balance of radiation of vines in a vineyard in the Dão Region
In order to validate a model of vine transpiration based on radiative surface temperature a field trial was conducted in a vineyard in the Dão region, centre of Portugal, with the cultivar “Touriga Nacional”.
Influence of the winter pruning time on the phenology of some cultivars in the DOCG “Franciacorta” (Lombardy) and the DOC “Montefalco” (Umbria)
The vine winter pruning makes it possible to control the plant productive level. It can have repercussions on the wine quality as well as on the vine phenology even if the effects depend on the cultivar, which is taken in consideration.
Using forced bud experiments to calibrate grapevine bud break models
One-bud cuttings from two grapevine cultivars were exposed to variable chilling durations and forced to bud break during a three-years experiment campaign.
Frost risk spatial analysis and zoning for viticulture at local scale level using digital geographical information data, field information and winegrowers survey
During the night of 19 to 20 December 2009, a sudden and strong cold event has caused extensive damage on the buds of the vines in the vineyards of the North-East of France.
Leaf and stem water potential response to different water regimes on Tempranillo variety, grown in the Duero River Valley (Spain)
Vineyard grown under conditions of semi-arid climate, as usually in major part of Spain, needs to know the amount of water to be applied as well as the phases of implementation, depending on the vine water status.
