Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present the effects of climatic change (extreme climatic changes, deficiency and/or quality deterioration of groundwater availability, air pollution, etc.) on the entire enoviticultural sector, as well as all methods and technologies developed to face the emerging challenges.

Within this framework, the Special Issues aims to collect research articles and reviews mainly focusing on but not limited to:

  • Vineyard physiology and metabolism (climate impact on grapevine and microbial terroir changes, adaptation to extreme environmental temperatures and conditions, maintenance of biodiversity, vineyard degradation and landscape erosion, plant protection, effect on wine production and quality, etc.);
  • Energy and production efficiency (reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, “green” vinification, fertilization, maintenance of effective soil productivity and fermentation yields, winemaking from native grape varieties, etc.);
  • Sustainability and circular economy in the enoviticultural sector (smart viticulture strategies, organic wine production, environmental footprint decrease and economic impact on the wine sector, packaging and distribution, consumers’ awareness on wine’s carbon footprint and water footprint, wine market perspective on sustainability, appropriate recycling of wine production byproducts and wastes, etc.).

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Climate is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

We analyzed climate change scenarios and their possible impacts on winegrape yield in Baja California, the leading wine producer in Mexico. Linear regression models were used to predict the current yield based on climate and economic variables. Using future projections of the climate variables from two regional climate models (RegCM and RCA4), we evaluated the possible changes in yield for the Near Future (NF: 2021−2040) and Intermediate Future (IF: 2041−2060) periods under low (RCP2.6) and high (RCP8.5) greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. One regression model includes maximum and minimum temperatures (Tx and Tn) of the winegrape growing season and accumulated winter precipitation (Pre), and the other model also includes the real minimum wage and winegrape price to evaluate the operating cost paid by producers. The results show that the linear regression model with the climatic and economic variables explains 28% of the winegrape yield, and Tx and Tn had the greatest influence. The climate change scenarios show that during the winegrape growing season, these variables could increase more than 1 °C in the NF and more than 2 °C in the IF under the RCP8.5 scenario. These latter temperature changes could reduce the yield between 18% and 35% relative to the reference observed climate dataset (Livneh). However, winegrape yield is sensitive to economic factors, as the yield reduction increases at least 3% in all cases. Thus, adaptation strategies need to be implemented in the viticulture sector to reduce future impacts. Full article
