Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The effects of climate change pose a severe challenge to viticulture and the winemaking sector worldwide. The projected changes of regular weather patterns in terms of intensity and periodicity over the growing cycle are already increasing the frequency of extreme weather events (e.g., heat waves, floods, prolonged drought), compromising the sustainability of grapevine growth and production (yield and quality potential). The evolution of viticultural and winemaking techniques has allowed researchers and winegrowers to combine scientific, applied, and cultural knowledge targeted to multiple threats by developing short- (e.g., use of foliar protectants) and long-term (e.g., varietal and clonal selection, rootstock selection) strategies to cope with yield and quality losses. These strategies comprise multiple tools, such as soil and canopy management practices, precision viticulture, and the winemaking process optimization to promote a sustainable balance between grape production, quality, and vine development and physiological performance. In this sense, for this Special Issue of Atmosphere, we welcome submissions of interdisciplinary research concerning the impacts of climate change (abiotic stress factors) and sustainable adaptation strategies for viticulture and wine industry under applied contexts. We intend for articles presented in this Special Issue to be useful for a broad and diverse group of readers.

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. Atmosphere 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 2400 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.
