Description
The project assesses the impact of climate change on the Monastrell grape variety and its soil microbiota in Jumilla, through experiments involving increased temperature and reduced rainfall. It analyzes the effects on physiology, productivity, and microbial biodiversity under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions.
Results
Heating and water restriction treatments cause severe stress, reductions in chlorophyll, flavonoids, and foliar nutrients, along with fewer and lighter grape clusters, increased raisining, and significant decreases in grape production. Organic vineyard management mitigates the effects of climate change, increases the abundance of mycorrhizal fungi, and improves soil fertility and multifunctionality compared to conventional management. This study aims to identify indicator species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi associated with climate change treatments as potential new biofertilizers for severe stress conditions.
