Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Grape and wine production are agricultural sectors extremely important economically for many regions worldwide. Internationally renowned wine regions have specific environmental characteristics, and climate plays a pivotal role. Considering the influence of weather and climate on grapevine performance, especially production (yield) and fruit quality (chemical composition), climate change may significantly impact grape production. Several studies have already reported a significant increase in growing season mean temperatures and erratic precipitation events, which are having a remarkable impact on vineyard management and wine styles across various renowned grape and wine production areas worldwide. The impact of anthropogenic global warming on viticulture has been thoroughly studied and several climate scenarios are projecting increased stress conditions for grapevine growth and development. The viticulture of the future will be related to innovative and alternative adaptation and mitigation measures to be implemented in a timely manner by stakeholders. This Special Issue of Atmosphere welcomes articles related to viticulture and climate, climate change impacts on grape production and fruit and wine quality, alternative and innovative strategies for adaptation to environmental stress, and modelling studies.
