Cover crop-based under-row dry mulching enhances phyllosphere and rhizosphere microbial biodiversity in a non-irrigated vineyard
Canavera et al. (2026, Environmental Microbiome), Piacenza (Italy), found that cover crop–derived under-vine mulching in a non-irrigated vineyard significantly increased rhizosphere and phyllosphere microbial diversity while improving soil conditions and reducing pathogen pressure. Headline Findings: Methods: Conducted in a non-irrigated vineyard in northern Italy.Compared three inter-row management systems: In spring, cover crops were terminated and...

Extensive vineyard management and semi-natural habitats increase biodiversity and ecosystem services: insights from a global meta-analysis
A 2025 global meta-analysis by Silvia Winter et al., in Science of the Total Environment found that less intensive vineyard management increases biodiversity and ecosystem services by about 14% overall, with minimal trade-offs except for reduced yields in organic systems. Headline Findings Methods Results Read the original study here.
