Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Changing climates will wreak havoc on the agricultural and human systems that have been developed upon regularities of geophysical, hydrological, and meteorological conditions. Challenging the capacities of wine growers to plan for and mitigate the existential threats of biophysical, economic, and social forces, shifting seasonal weather patterns and extreme events may yield catastrophic results at many scales. The “change” of climate change eliminates confident reliance on patterns of the past and diminishes wine growers’ certainty that their practices and decisions will be correct and not fatal to their survival. The present and future may reveal many types (technological, cultural, spatial, or others) of adjustments and adaptations that have been or can be taken. Sustainability invites contributions from scholars in all disciplines on any topic that pertains to the sustainability of grapes, wine growers, wine makers, and wine regions (including their host communities) in the face of global warming and changing climates. This Special Issue seeks papers on topics ranging through disciplines including but not limited to physical and human geographical, economic, agricultural, sociological, and cultural matters; shifting patterns of production; environmental relationships; grape-growing methods; cultivars; changing varieties; environmental changes; shifting cultures; changing perceptions; changing consumers and markets; and local and regional economies, pertaining to the landscapes of wine.
