B1 – Adaptation

Project Action A – Observation & modelling Action B – Cultural practices B1 – Adaptation B2 – Mitigation B3 – On-site demonstration B4 – Transfer to the sector Action C – Impact assessment C1 – Territorial assessment C2 – Socio-economic assessment Action D – Dissemination Action E – Management Adaptation of cultural practices to climate change Objectives Action B1 aims to develop adaptation strategies at the vineyard scale, reproducible in other areas of Europe, and simulate the impact of climate variability on vine dynamics and viticultural strategies. The objectives are as follows: to develop a systemic and integrated modelling environment, capable of simulating grapevine growth and berry ripening under different conditions and constraints (slope, aspect, soil type, climate variability …) and integrating production strategies and corresponding adaptation rules according to the evolution of these constraints, then construct specific viticultural models for each demonstration site. A generic model (for a site-specific viticultural activity) will be developed, to reproduce the impact of the spatial and temporal variability of climatic conditions on grapevine growth and berry maturity using an approach that combines technologies derived from greenhouse gas (GHG), agent-based models and spatial and temporal databases. We will then use the model to identify adaptation rules, according to the evolution of environmental constraints, with particular focus on high-resolution climate changes. The adaptation strategies will be monitored, assessed and redefined in response to the activities in the demonstration sites   Action leader Cyril Tissot     Researcher CNRS, LETG-BREST cyril.tissot@univ-brest.fr Deliverable Adapting viticulture to climate change – Resume synthesis Adaptation viticulture to climate change – Guidance manual     Adaptation of cultural practices to...

B3 – On-site demonstration

by adminh | 28 Jun 2015

Project Action A – Observation & modelling Action B – Cultural practices B1 – Adaptation B2 – Mitigation B3 – On-site demonstration B4 – Transfer to the sector Action C – Impact assessment C1 – Territorial assessment C2 – Socio-economic assessment Action D – Dissemination Action E – Management Demonstration on European pilot sites Objectives Action B3 aims to provide solutions for the adaptation of viticulture to climate change, according to the environmental and viticultural profile of each of the five demonstration sites participating in the project. Each vineyard is characterised by a great variability, generated by its climate, soils, topography, grape varieties, specific cultural practices and grapevine training systems. This variability requires a specific approach in order to provide solutions for grapevine adaptation to climate change for particular environmental and technological situations. Vinegrowers, who have become more and more accustomed to climate change, are interested only in very tangible measures of adaptation which match their wine grape varieties, vine training systems, soil maintenance systems, local relief characteristics etc. That is why, for each pilot site of the ADVICLIM project, the most representative elements of the vineyard will be studied in order to get clear answers to the grape growers’ questions, such as “how does climate change affect my grape yields?” or “how can I maintain my wines’ typical flavour profile?”. Taking these factors into account, action B3 is designed as a coordinating activity; to demonstrate the feasibility of the adaptation and mitigation strategies developed in actions B1 and B2. Its specific objectives are: to evaluate the feasibility of applying the adaptation and mitigation strategies to each pilot site’s...

B2 – Mitigation

Project Action A – Observation & modelling Action B – Cultural practices B1 – Adaptation B2 – Mitigation B3 – On-site demonstration B4 – Transfer to the sector Action C – Impact assessment C1 – Territorial assessment C2 – Socio-economic assessment Action D – Dissemination Action E – Management Cultural practices GHG mitigation according to climate change scenario Objectives The principal objective of action B2 is to establish benchmarks for the vineyards involved in the trial and characterise the different emissions due to viticulture-related practices across Europe. However, action B2 goes further; instead of evaluating only the GHG emissions, action B2 will develop a multi-criteria evaluation methodology with specific indicators of technical performances in order to highlight possible transfers of pollution. It is critical to check if the reduction of GHG emissions does not cause an increase of other environmental impacts and production costs. This action has to supply data both for real practices applied in the field and for scenarios calculated by the model. Reference acquisition has to inform the multi-agent adaptation model (Action B1) with new constraints in order to improve the mitigation scenarios and offer solutions for cultural practices involving GHG mitigation according to climate change scenarios. These indicators must also be communicated to the winemakers (Action B3) to allow them to evaluate the first steps in their change of practice, and to compare them in a second step to the performances of the modelled practices in order to build an action plan for their vineyards. The following indicators will remain focused at the vineyard scale, and be used to evaluate each technical route: The direct...
