“…The carbonate distribution in the studied soil profiles was irregular, and was related mainly to pedogenic carbonate formation or mobilisation and subsequent accumulation, as Figure 5 depicts (with representative profiles), which shows that pedogenic carbonate accumulation appears fundamentally on deeper horizons. More than 95% soil carbon in the studied soils was solid calcium carbonate (according to data provided by Amor os et al, 2015;García-Navarro et al, 2022;Jiménez-Ballesta et al, 2021), which can be classified as primary or lithogenic (inherited mostly from parent material), or secondary/pedogenic inorganic carbon, which had newly developed as a result of the dissolution and recrystallisation of primary carbonates and other soil-forming processes (Bughio et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2012).…”

“…The topography is varied, with large areas that are predominantly flat or nearly flat, while some other areas are gently rolling hills and certain mountain zones. According to Amorós et al (2015), Jiménez‐Ballesta et al (2021) and García‐Navarro et al (2022), after describing and sampling 275 soil profiles in this area, the investigated soils are characterised mainly as Luvisols, Cambisols, Regosols and Leptosols, with a verly significant proportion of Calcisols (IUSS Working Group, 2015); that is, Alfisols, Inceptisols and Entisols according to the US Soil Taxonomy system (Soil Survey Staff, 2014). The soils under study show different calcium carbonate distribution patterns in the profile and some examples of calcareous parent materials are as follows: limestone, marls, detritic deposits and carbonate sediments, alluvial deposits, and sometimes also non‐carbonated materials, such as granites, shales, arkoses, volcanic materials, and so forth.…”

“…Although CLM soils have been studied on numerous occasions (Amorós et al, 2015; García‐Navarro et al, 2022; Jiménez‐Ballesta et al, 2021, among others), specific information on the mobilisation and accumulation of carbonates in soils of a calcareous nature is scarce. What is more, although there are many studies on soil characterisation and genesis in Mediterranean environments (Durn, 1999; Fedoroff & Courty, 2013; González Martin et al, 2007; Torrent, 2004; Yaalon, 1997), and more recently by Jiménez‐Ballesta et al (2021), unfortunately, specific information on the occurrence and characteristics of carbonate pedological features in vineyard soils has not been paid much attention.…”

Many vineyard soils in semiarid Mediterranean environments develop from carbonated materials and often show very diverse forms of pedogenic Ca‐carbonate accumulations. Based on 275 vineyard soil profiles in the Castilla La Mancha (CLM) territory (Spain), this paper presents an in‐depth comprehensive study of a large number of morphological expressions of these carbonate distributions, while exploring various pedogenesis formation hypotheses. The interactions among the calcareous nature of parent material, surface topography and climate are the factors that most affected their morphology and pedogenesis. The occurrence and distribution of carbonate features in CLM vineyard soils can be more complex than other areas. Many accumulations are relatively ancient, which is the case of petrocalcic horizons, and in‐keeping with conservative means, which reveals the occurrence of successive carbonate accumulation cycles. More recently dissolved and precipitated seasonally pedogenic carbonates (sometimes as coatings) have appeared, which are nothing more than a simple recent redistribution of carbonates. A structural imprint is observed: pedogenic carbonates appeared much more abundantly on the lowermost horizons, which can be related to the repeated redistribution phases that occurred in different pedogenesis stages. The data provided herein help to understand the nature of viticultural calcareous soils in semiarid Mediterranean regions.

Viticultural activity is intrinsically interlocked with climatic fluctuations and awful subjected to soil management. Increasing temperatures and reduced precipitation originate several alterations in the metabolic plant pathway and a depletion in grapes quality. The main aspiration of soil management is to keep and retain a microenvironment that considers all vine requirements to upgrade the balance between vegetative growth and cluster quality intensifying its resilience towards abiotic stress. Aiming to establish match and dissimilar drought stress responses among Sangiovese grapevines, we scouted ecophysiological and biochemical alterations after zeolite and irrigation soil application (combined and/or alone), using as control plants naturally exposed to abiotic stress in a Chianti Classico vineyard. When grapevines were exposed to water stress alone, the main reactions encompassed dwindled leaf midday water potential (Ψleaf) and increased proline content. These were accompanied by augments in zeaxanthin and lutein leaf contents, symptomatic of oxidative stress. Positive metabolic alterations in grapes triggered by zeolite and/or water showed some influence on the ripening of the berry differently depending on the year. They created a situation of resilience in berry avoiding arrest in the anthocyanin synthesis pathway during the warmest season and produced a more balanced maturation, closer to the objectives of the modern producer of classic Chianti (i.e. fresher and less alcoholic wines) during the fresher one. Under severe drought, it was activated the shikimic acid pathway and in stressed vines treatment, (WS) a reduction in malic acid content was found. Sugar and phenolic compounds were enhanced by zeolitic and undrought treatments. A negative effect enkindled by the drought and high temperatures combined with stress was the accumulation of quercetin‐3‐O‐rutinoside (Qrut), quercetin‐3‐O‐galactoside (Qgala), quercetin‐3‐O‐glucoside (Qgluc) and quercetin‐3‐O‐glucoronide (Qgluco) in WS treatment. These results summarize that clinoptilolite applied to the soil, both combined with water as well in purity, noteworthy protectorship from more detrimental repercussions of drought‐stressed grapevines, suggesting that new sustainable approaches in soil management are useful for the wellness of vines.
