Abstract
Effective adaptation of viticulture to climate change requires impact and response scenarios.
Although climate and production impact scenarios are based on the evaluation of spatially heterogeneous system, conventional response scenarios do not account for variation in the producers-climate interactions.
These interactions are often extremely heterogeneous and unevenly distributed in space.
We use future climate scenarios at 0.5°C resolution to estimate the adaptation of viticulture by the late 21st century.
Results suggest that most of the Mediterranean region may urgently need adaptation plans, leading to potential opportunities.
By incorporating spatially explicit information on the diversity of viticulture systems, management practices, and climate vulnerability, this approach may contribute to adaptation policy.
