Quantification of intrafield variability of vine water status using Sentinel 2: case study of two Belgian vineyards

For decades, vines have been grown in dry regions, as the plant has to grow under water deficit to produce quality wines. Due in part to climate change, vine cultivation is developing in historically cooler and more humid regions. In addition to climate, soil and plant material are the terroir factors that most influence the water status of the vine, and conditions can be different within the same vineyard plot, implying heterogeneous vineyard management to achieve optimal wine quality. The objective of this study is to explore the potential of Sentinel-2 to characterize the intra-plot variabi... Mehr ...
