Abstract
The 21st Century soil science must deeply grapple with the enormity of the agricultural impact on soils, and the complex ways in which this impacts soil sustainability. There are several risks associated with unbalanced soil management, such as compaction, pollution, soil erosion, soil organic matter (SOM) depletion, and loss of biodiversity, that lead to a drop-in vine quality and quantity. Soil chemistry and sustainable soil management in vineyards are directly correlated with wine grape quality. A critical component of this approach is the thorough understanding of soil chemistry. This study provides an overview of baseline soil chemistry markers that are essential for sustainable viticulture. Improvement of these soil chemistry markers helps in the development of better soil management practices. Climate change impacts, showed doubts about its long-term sustainability in vineyard soil management. Main goal of the present investigation is to identifie key soil chemistry markers, critical for sustainable viticulture, with certain emphasis on their roles and optimal levels. Key markers include pH levels, organic matter, macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur), micronutrients (iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron and molybdenum), cation exchange capacity (CEC), electrical conductivity (EC), soil texture and structure. Moreover, maintaining an optimal pH value, balanced levels of micronutrients and micronutrients and a high content of organic matter significantly contribute to optimal agro-environment for viticulture. Regular control and monitoring of sustainable chemical markers can reduce the unnecessary use of chemical fertilizers, encouraging a more sustainable and ecological approach to viticulture.
