The Impact of Climate Change on Swiss Wine

The Impact of Climate Change on Swiss Wine

The research race is on, in Switzerland as elsewhere, to clarify how abiotic factors affect plants’ phenology: we’re scrambling to learn precisely what happens to grapevines during their growing seasons when climate change causes interlinked problems due to shifts in temperature, water, solar radiation, and atmospheric CO2 concentration(1).
