Wine landscape and climate change: the state of art

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe wine landscape is very sensitive to external influences and socioeconomic and environmental changes caused by climate change, requiring special management aimed at preserving both natural and cultural aspects of the landscape. This paper reviews the current situation in the academic work, examining 95 publications on the interaction between wine landscape and climate change, published in Scopus and in Web of Science. QUAL-QUANT methods were used for measuring the coverage of wine-landscape in spatial–temporal dimensions. The results were reviewed under the Theory – Context – Characteristics – Methodology (TCCM) framework.The review identified important gaps in existing research including the need for more cultural elements in landscape analysis and the need for more quantitative research across more broadly defined landscapes/regions to better assess likely economic impacts of climate change and to support the development of response strategies.KEYWORDS: Wine landscapeclimate changeheritagespatial-temporal dimensionsQual-Quant methodologies AcknowledgementsThe authors declare that no funds, grants, or other support were received during the preparation of this manuscript.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Declaration of competing interestThe authors have no relevant financial or non-financial interests to disclose.Data availability statementThe datasets generated and analysed during the current study that support the finding of this study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
