Land management in Mediterranean vineyards is crucial for maintaining ecosystem services. A study in Southern France looked at how different soil management practices affect soil health. They found that cover crops in between rows improve soil functioning regardless of soil type, while organic fertilization and chemical weeding have mixed effects. The type of soil plays a significant role in how management practices impact soil health, with calcareous soils showing more stability. Overall, the study highlights the importance of considering soil type when implementing management practices in vineyards.
