Multi-scale and multi-disciplinary approach to evaluate the mechanisms for leaf morpho-anatomical and eco-physiological acclimation of Greco grapevine under different canopy and soil management within the Italian GREASE project

The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of two types of canopy management (double guyot and double guyot flipped) and three treatments of soil management (cover crops, natural coverage, and soil tillage) on the coordination of morpho-anatomical and eco-physiological traits in the grapevine cultivar 'Greco' (Vitis vinifera L. subsp. vinifera), autochthonous and widely cultivated in the Campania Region (southern Italy). The field trials were conducted at the Feudi di San Gregorio winery premises in southern Italy, within the GREASE project, funded by the Campania Region through the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, with the general goal of improving grapevine productivity and resilience for the sustainable management of vineyards.
