Context and purpose of the study. Rising temperatures and prolonged heat accelerate berry sugar accumulation in advance of the accumulation of compounds responsible for aroma, colour and mouthfeel.
Context and Purpose of the study. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis with grapevines is a key component of vineyard ecosystems.
The inherent variability of Nature poses challenges for researchers to draw clear conclusions from field experiments. Identifying and assessing adaptations to climate change requires agronomic field trials.
Grapevine susceptibility to fungal diseases, including the vascular disease esca, is a major threat for wine productivity and vineyard perennity worldwide.
For a long time, cool climate grapevine breeding has striven for early ripening cultivars to adapt to the former climate conditions.
Commercial grapevine propagation relies on the ability of dormant wood material to develop adventitious roots.
Context and purpose of the study. Climate change accelerates grapevine’s phenology, advancing harvests by 2–3 weeks over the past 40 years negatively affecting wine style due to a lack of acidity and too much alcohol.
Significant increases in anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to combustion of fossil fuels and intensive land management practices that release CO2 into the atmosphere have resulted in higher air temperatures due to the greenhouse effect.
Double cropping is a novel technique, driven by the extension of the growing season caused by global warming.
Magnesium (Mg) deficiency poses a significant challenge to viticulture, particularly affecting Welschriesling (WR), a key grape variety in Austrian and Central European vineyards.
The combined effect of soil moisture and soil temperature on grapevine physiology is gaining interest in the context of global warming.
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.
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.
The recent effects on temperature and rainfall caused by global warming pose a serious threat to the wine industry worldwide, mainly in terms of a loss of quality in the wines produced.
Context and purpose of the study. Viticulture faces significant challenges due to climate change, with increased frequency of extreme weather events impacting grapevine growth, grape quality, and wine production.
The growing demand for renewable energy and sustainable agricultural practices has highlighted the potential of agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) as a promising solution, particularly in the context of German viticulture.
Context and purpose of the study. Albeit standing as a fashionable research topic dual use of land as viti-voltaic still lacks of fundamental knowledge about whole canopy grapevine response to altered microclimate under panels vs open field conditions.
Agrivoltaics (AV), the innovative dual-use of land for agriculture and photovoltaic energy production on the same land, offers a promising solution to the challenges of expanding renewable energy without compromising valuable agricultural land.
