“…Leaf chlorophyll content may be sensitive to drought or tillage operations [ 56 ], or nitrogen content [ 25 ]. In our study, leaf chlorophyll content was significantly higher in the CC and T rows than in the NT row, which is consistent with a study by Griesser et al [ 57 ], where the authors found that soil tillage can increase leaf chlorophyll content. Córdoba et al [ 58 ] also found significantly higher chlorophyll with soil tillage than many vegetated inter-row managed grapevines, and the authors further highlighted the importance of the yearly effects.…”

The main objective of this study was to investigate soil–plant–water interactions based on field measurements of plant reflectance and soil water content (SWC) in different inter-row managed sloping vineyards. The following three different soil management applications were studied: tilled (T), cover crops (CC), and permanent grass (NT) inter-rows. We measured SWCs within the row and between rows of vines. Each investigated row utilized 7 to 10 measurement points along the slope. Topsoil SWC and temperature, leaf NDVI and chlorophyll concentrations and leaf area index (LAI) were measured every two weeks over the vegetation period (May to November) using handheld instruments. We found that management method and slope position can significantly affect the soil’s physical and chemical properties, such as clay or soil organic carbon contents. Cover crops in the inter-row significantly reduced average SWC. The in-row average topsoil SWCs and temperatures were lower in all study sites compared to the values measured in between rows. Significantly higher SWCs were observed for the upper points compared to the lower ones for CC and T treatments (58.0 and 60.9%, respectively), while the opposite was noted for NT. Grassed inter-row grapevines had significantly lower leaf chlorophyll content than the other inter-row managed sites (p < 0.001). The highest average leaf chlorophyll contents were observed in the T vineyard (16.89 CCI). Based on slope positions, the most distinguishable difference was observed for the CC: 27.7% higher chlorophyll values were observed at the top of the slope compared to the grapevine leaves at the bottom of the slope (p < 0.01). The leaf NDVI values were not as profoundly influenced by slope position in the vineyard as the chlorophyll values were. For overall LAI values, the T treatment had significantly lower values compared to NT and CC (p < 0.001). Moderate correlations were observed between NDVI and LAI and soil nitrogen and carbon content. In general, we found that both inter-row management and slope position can significantly influence soil parameters and affect plant growth, and consequently can accelerate plant stress under sub-optimal environmental conditions such as prolonged drought.

“…At the same time, after winter pruning, the pruning left on the shelf forms wind barriers, which prevent wind erosion, blowing sand and ecological damage in winter, reduce the amount of erosion by 75.85% (Zhang et al 2021 ), and improve the ornamental value of the vineyard. In addition, growing grass between lines can increase the content of aroma compounds, present more floral scents and some sweet and ripe fruit scents, improve wine quality (Xi et al 2011 ), and significantly increase soil organic matter content (Griesser et al 2022 ). Furthermore, the study showed that in Shanxi province, the overwintering cost of CCM was 3,300 yuan per hectare (Zhang et al 2013a , b ).…”

In northwest China, where winter is extremely cold and the grapevine is vulnerable to freezing damage, the application of soil covering has promoted the vigorous development of the local grape and wine industries. However, in recent years, the negative effects of burying soil for cold protection on the environment have gradually emerged. In some viticultural regions, the phenomenon of "summer forest, winter desert" has appeared. Therefore, it is urgent for the Chinese grape industry to find a better solution to overwinter safely and environmentally friendly. This review summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of widely used solutions to overwinter such as covering vines with soil, breeding of cold-resistant grapes, cold-resistant cultivation model, physical and chemical covering materials, and protected grape facilities were reviewed. Future overwintering measures were proposed which avoid burial and grape overwintering research directions. It also provides a theoretical foundation and technical support to improve grape yield and quality in northwest China.

“…Cover crops have been found to increase soluble solids, anthocyanins and other phenolic components of grapes (Guerra and Steenwerth, 2012), increase microbial biomass of soil (Ingels et al, 2005) while controlling grapevine canopy growth (Tesic et al, 2007). However, they may compete for nutrient supply and nitrogen as observed in several European vineyards by Griesser et al (2022).…”

“…Use of in-row vegetation cover would avoid herbicide applications or mechanical weed control (Garcia et al, 2018), thereby indirectly and positively affecting interrows through the reduction of soil compaction and the number of tractor passages. Winegrowers are concerned about cover crops that may compete with vines for nutrients and water, but specific mixtures may avoid these negative effects and could provide higher biodiversity within vineyards (Garcia et al, 2018;Griesser et al, 2022). Using native plants and selecting particular species and traits within the natural pool has been also proposed as a potential solution for managing the soil under the vine rows (Tompkins, 2010).…”

Vineyard Management and Its Impacts on Soil Biodiversity, Functions, and Ecosystem Services

Healthy soils form the basis of sustainable viticulture, where soil characteristics have a direct impact on wine quantity and quality. Soil not only provides water and nutrients to vines, but is also a living medium containing micro- and macroorganisms that perform many ecological functions and provide ecosystem services. These organisms are involved in many processes, from decomposing organic matter to providing minerals to vine roots. They also control diseases, pests, and weeds, in addition to improving the soil structure in terms of its capacity to retain water and nutrients. Related to decomposition processes, the carbon content of vineyard soils influences fertility, erosion and biogeochemical cycles, with significant implications for the global climate. However, common agricultural practices represent strong threats to biodiversity and associated ecosystem services provided by vineyard soils. As consumers increasingly consider environmental aspects in their purchase decisions, winegrowers have to adapt their vineyard management strategies, raising the demand for sustainable pest- and weed-control methods. This article presents a comprehensive review of the impacts of vineyard practices on the soil ecosystem, biodiversity, and biodiversity-based ecosystem services, and provides future prospects for sustainable viticulture.
