“…Similar to other studies, the seasonal variation of GHG emission in the investigated vineyard was largely driven by the dynamics of temperature and moisture conditions ( Rey et al., 2005 ; Carlisle et al., 2006 ; Steenwerth et al., 2010 ; Vicca et al., 2014 ; Yu et al., 2017 ). Thereby, the rates of CO 2 and N 2 O emission were comparable with other studies conducted in vineyard soils in different climates ( Carlisle et al., 2006 ; Steenwerth et al., 2010 ; Horel et al., 2018 ; Marín-Martínez et al., 2021 ; Minardi et al., 2022 ). The observed increase in CO 2 and N 2 O emission in 2021 could be related to a rapid increase in biological activity that is likely to occur after rewetting events ( Figure 1 ) ( Franzluebbers et al., 2000 ; Rey et al., 2005 ; Steenwerth et al., 2010 ; Laffely et al., 2020 ; Jiang et al., 2021 ).…”

BackgroundTraditional wine growing regions are increasingly endangered by climatic alterations. One promising approach to mitigate advancing climate change could be an increase of soil organic matter. Here, especially subsoils are of interest as they provide higher carbon storage potential than topsoils. In this context, vineyard subsoils could be particularly suitable since they are deeply cultivated once before planting and afterwards, left at rest for several decades due to the perennial nature of grapevines.MethodsFor this purpose, a biochar compost substrate and greenwaste compost were incorporated in up to 0.6 m depth before planting a new experimental vineyard with the fungus-resistant grapevine cultivar ‘Calardis Musqué’. The influence of this deep incorporation on greenhouse gas emissions and grapevine performance was evaluated and compared to a non-amended control using sensor-based analyses.ResultsIncreased CO2 emissions and lower N2O emissions were found for the incorporation treatments compared to the control, but these differences were not statistically significant due to high spatial variability. Only few plant traits like chlorophyll content or berry cuticle characteristics were significantly affected in some of the experimental years. Over the course of the study, annual climatic conditions had a much stronger influence on plant vigor and grape quality than the incorporated organic amendments.DiscussionIn summary, organic soil amendments and their deep incorporation did not have any significant effect on greenhouse gas emissions and no measurable or only negligible effect on grapevine vigor, and grape quality parameters. Thus, according to our study the deposition of organic amendments in vineyard subsoils seems to be an option for viticulture to contribute to carbon storage in soils in order to mitigate climate change.

This research aims to contribute to improving water and carbon efficiency in irrigated grapevine production in the dry Mediterranean climate of southern Europe. In regions with water scarcity, irrigation has become a relevant input in viticulture, essential to increase productivity and achieve profits. The joint estimation of the water footprint (WF) and the carbon footprint (CF) can help to comprehensively assess the environmental implications and sustainability associated with water-intensive grapevine cultivation. In this study, the WF and CF, of the farming stage of grapes production, were calculated for three years, in three vineyards located in southern Portugal. Data used for the calculation included meteorological data, irrigation requirements, energy use, fertilizers, and pesticide inputs. The total WF mean value for the study period was 223 m3 ton−1, lower than values found for similar conditions, but the blue component, related to irrigation, was predominant, with a higher proportion (75%) occurring during the driest year. The mean total CF was 98 kg CO2e ton−1; the major contributors were fuel use, fertilizer greenhouse gas emissions, and energy for irrigation. The factor analysis revealed relationships between footprint components, yielding latent variables participated by irrigation water and energy use, pollution loads and agrichemicals use. The examination of trade-offs and/or advantageous relations between footprints and yields showed that seasonal climate conditions play an important role via their effect on the farming practices and the inputs most influential on these indicators, namely: crop water requirement; irrigation volumes; energy for irrigation; fuel consumption; nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization rates.
