“…The trends through time are compatible with other long-term studies [2], [13], [14], [19], [37], [38]. However, as Maurer et al [9] explained, many factors affect yield and must sugar content. Therefore trends must be interpreted with caution in order to estimate how much of the increase in must yield and must sugar content can be attributed to changes in temperature.…”

“…These differences reflect changes in viticultural practices (i.e. technological advance, the varieties cultivated, or the style of wine produced) [9], [10] and appear to be a logical explanation for trends in yield to be much more obvious in the later periods. In this study, the change over time for period 3 accounted for 19% of the variation in yield.…”

Climate-Induced Changes in Grapevine Yield and Must Sugar Content in Franconia (Germany) between 1805 and 2010

When attempting to estimate the impacts of future climate change it is important to reflect on information gathered during the past. Understanding historical trends may also aid in the assessment of likely future agricultural and horticultural changes. The timing of agricultural activities, such as grape harvest dates, is known to be influenced by climate and weather. However, fewer studies have been carried out on grapevine yield and quality. In this paper an analysis is undertaken of long-term data from the period 1805–2010 on grapevine yield (hl/ha) and must sugar content (°Oe) and their relation to temperature. Monthly mean temperatures were obtained for the same time period. Multiple regression was used to relate the viticulture variables to temperature, and long-term trends were calculated. Overall, the observed trends over time are compatible with results from other long term studies. The findings confirm a relationship between yield, must sugar content and temperature data; increased temperatures were associated with higher yields and higher must sugar content. However, the potential increase in yield is currently limited by legislation, while must sugar content is likely to further increase with rising temperatures.

“…Die kältesten Win-tertemperaturen werden für die Zeiträume 1400 bis 1500, 1600 bis 1620, 1680 bis 1750 und die niedrigsten Sommertemperaturen für 1450 bis 1500, 1590 bis 1610, rund um das Jahr 1700 sowie 1800 bis 1850 rekonstruiert (Abbildung 3.6 g / j; Mangini et al, 2005;Büntgen et al, 2011). Auch die Unterschiede in den Weinernteerträge dokumentieren kältere Bedingungen zwischen 1600 und 1940, mit den ungünstigsten (tiefsten) Temperaturen zwischen 1771 und 1780 (Maurer et al, 2009;Maurer et al, 2011). Die Hochwasserhäufigkeit war während der Kleinen Eiszeit variabel (Glaser et al, 2010;Swierczynski et al, 2012) mit einer sehr geringen Frequenz zwischen 1600 und 1700; also ohne erkennbaren Zusammenhang mit den gleichzeitig deutlichen Temperaturschwankungen.…”

“…Numerous studies have focused on the phenology of natural vegetation (Matsumoto et al, 2003;Cleland et al, 2007;Sparks et al, 2012). Although it is difficult to isolate temperature signals from events that are determined by human decisions, the timing of grape harvesting has become a popular proxy for climate reconstruction (Chuine et al, 2004;Menzel, 2005;Garnier et al, 2011;Maurer et al, 2011). However, despite their economic and ecological importance, fewer studies have examined the timing of other agricultural and horticultural practices (Chmielewski et al, 2004;Menzel et al, 2006b;Estrella et al, 2007).…”

Changes in the timing of hay cutting in Germany do not keep pace with climate warming

A unique long-term phenological data set of over 110 000 records of 1st cutting dates for haymaking across Germany, spanning the years 1951-2011 was examined. In addition, we analyzed a long-term data set in the beginning of flowering of meadow foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis) covering the last 20 years. We tested whether hay-cutting dates (based on a human decision when to cut) showed trends, temperature relationships and spatial distribution similar to the development of this grassland species, and if these trends could be related to climate change. The timing of 1st hay cut was strongly influenced (P < 0.001) by altitude, latitude and longitude, revealing in particular an east-west gradient. Over the past 60 years, there have been changes in the timing of hay cutting, with the majority of German federal states having significant (P < 0.05) advances of approximately 1 day per decade. Overall, the response to mean March-May temperature was highly significant (-2.87 days °C(-1); P < 0.001). However, in the last 20 years, no federal state experienced a significant advance and two were even significantly delayed. The temperature response in this post-1991 period became less or non-significant for most of the federal states. We suggest that differences in agricultural land use and unequal uptakes of Agri-Environment Schemes (AES, which encourage later cutting) were likely to be responsible for the regional differences, while the general increase in AES appears to have confounded the overall trend in hay cutting in the last 20 years. Trends over time and responses to temperature were small relative to those associated with the phenology of meadow foxtail. The advance in phenology of this species is greater than the advance in hay cutting, implying that hay cutting may not be keeping pace with a changing climate, which may have a positive effect on grassland ecology.
