Extract

This special symposium focuses on the analysis of climate change impacts on the spatial dimension of vineyard land use. This includes the analysis of projections of current vineyard areas that are lost due to climate change, those that are retained despite climate change, and new vineyard areas that are created due to climate change. The analysis explores the use of GIS over regional and global scales. Furthermore, this symposium sheds light on the socioeconomic dimension of climate change impacts on the wine industry and viticulture by exploring the use of an ecosystem service approach. Such an economic sector is responsible for the provision of a wide range of cobenefits in addition to wine products. These include biodiversity protection and cultural services, including landscape values and ecotourism benefits (see Nunes and Loureiro, forthcoming). In this context, this symposium endorses the ecosystem service approach to the management of vineyards as a regional strategic plan to promote sustainable development. This embraces a broad range of issues including (1) the improvement of people's quality of life; (2) the increase of prospects for more jobs in rural areas; and (3) the protection of regional commons, including both biodiversity and cultural heritage–oriented commons.

Paulo A.L.D. Nunes would like to thank the Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei – FEEM, Milan headquarters, where he acted as Scientific Coordinator of the socioeconomic working package of the Project SERRES–Selection of new grape rootstocks resistant to abiotic stresses through the development and validation of physiological and molecular markers–during the period 2010 to 2014. Nunes also thanks Vasco Boatto and Attilio Scienza for their valuable input and inspiring discussions, which contributed to the development of this special symposium.
