Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to present the effects of climatic change (extreme climatic changes, deficiency and/or quality deterioration of groundwater availability, air pollution, etc.) on the entire enoviticultural sector, as well as all methods and technologies developed to face the emerging challenges.
Within this framework, the Special Issues aims to collect research articles and reviews mainly focusing on but not limited to:
- Vineyard physiology and metabolism (climate impact on grapevine and microbial terroir changes, adaptation to extreme environmental temperatures and conditions, maintenance of biodiversity, vineyard degradation and landscape erosion, plant protection, effect on wine production and quality, etc.);
- Energy and production efficiency (reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, “green” vinification, fertilization, maintenance of effective soil productivity and fermentation yields, winemaking from native grape varieties, etc.);
- Sustainability and circular economy in the enoviticultural sector (smart viticulture strategies, organic wine production, environmental footprint decrease and economic impact on the wine sector, packaging and distribution, consumers’ awareness on wine’s carbon footprint and water footprint, wine market perspective on sustainability, appropriate recycling of wine production byproducts and wastes, etc.).

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Climate is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
