ABSTRACT
Grapes are considered one of the world leading fruit crops. They can be grown in various climatic conditions and are highly economically important. Excessive management practices, such as soil preparation, abuse of nitrogen fertilizers and tractors traffic in the vineyard, may reduce the soil fertility and biodiversity, besides altering the balance of ecosystems and the fluxes of greenhouse gases emitted by the soil. This article aimed to develop a systematic review of greenhouse gas emissions from viticulture, in order to present a global perspective on the subject. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) methodology was used, as well as the terms (“grape growing” OR “viticulture” OR “vineyard” OR “grape cultivation”) AND (“nitrous oxide” OR “carbon dioxide” OR “methane” OR “greenhouse gas”), which should appear in the article title, abstract or keywords. The analysis included 29 articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The results mainly showed the relationship between nitrogen and organic fertilizers and soil texture, in addition to the relation between soil preparation practices and soil carbon emissions, and the influence of the soil water content on greenhouse gas emissions. The association of local climate conditions, management practices and soil characteristics can explain the significant variability of the observed results. Understanding the spatiotemporal emission dynamics and the determining factors allows the development of measures for effective greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, thus reducing the impact of global warming.

RESUMO
A uva é considerada umas das principais culturas frutíferas no mundo, podendo ser cultivada nas mais diferentes condições climáticas e possuindo grande importância econômica. O excesso de práticas de manejo, como o preparo do solo, abuso de fertilizantes nitrogenados e tráfego de tratores na vinha, pode reduzir a fertilidade e a biodiversidade do solo, além de alterar o equilíbrio dos ecossistemas e dos fluxos dos gases de efeito estufa emitidos pelo solo. Objetivou-se desenvolver uma revisão sistemática a respeito das emissões de gases de efeito estufa pela viticultura, com o intuito de apresentar uma perspectiva global sobre o assunto. Foi utilizada a metodologia Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA), bem como os termos (“grape growing” OR “viticulture” OR “vineyard” OR “grape cultivation”) AND (“nitrous oxide” OR “carbon dioxide” OR “methane” OR “grenhouse gas”), os quais deveriam aparecer no título do artigo ou no resumo ou nas palavras-chave. A análise incluiu 29 artigos das bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science. Os resultados mostram, principalmente, a relação entre fertilizantes nitrogenados e orgânicos e a textura do solo, além da relação das práticas de preparo do solo e emissões do carbono do solo, e a influência do conteúdo de água no solo sobre as emissões de gases de efeito estufa. A associação das condições climáticas locais, práticas de manejo e características do solo pode explicar a grande variabilidade dos resultados observados. A compreensão da dinâmica de emissão espaço-temporal e dos fatores determinantes permitem desenvolver medidas para uma mitigação eficaz das emissões de gases de efeito estufa, possibilitando reduzir o impacto do aquecimento global.

INTRODUCTION
Grapes are one of the leading fruit crops in the world. In 2022, viticulture occupied an area of 7,254,512 hectares worldwide, 6.6 % less than in 2004. In contrast, its production increased by 17.45 % during the same period (IOV 2023INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION OF VINE AND WINE (IOV). World statistics. 2023. Available at: https://www.oiv.int/what-we-do/global-report?oiv. Access in: Mar. 2023.

). This production increase, even facing cultivated land reduction, highlights how much management practices influence yield (Gattullo et al. 2020GATTULLO, C. E.; MEZZAPESA, G. N.; STELLACCI, A. M.; FERRARA, G.; OCCHIOGROSSO, G.; PETRELLI, G.; CASTELLINI, M.; SPAGNUOLO, M. Cover crop for a sustainable viticulture: effects on soil properties and table grape production. Agronomy, v. 10, n. 9, e1334, 2020.). In 2022, the leading grape-producing countries were China, Italy, France, United States and Spain, accounting together for 51.7 % of the world production, while Brazil occupied the fourteenth place, accounting for 1.9 % (IOV 2023INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION OF VINE AND WINE (IOV). World statistics. 2023. Available at: https://www.oiv.int/what-we-do/global-report?oiv. Access in: Mar. 2023.

).
Intensified soil management and preparation. associated with excessive nitrogen fertilizers, reduce the soil fertility and biodiversity and alter the balance of ecosystems and the greenhouse gases emitted by the soil fluxes (Gattullo et al. 2020GATTULLO, C. E.; MEZZAPESA, G. N.; STELLACCI, A. M.; FERRARA, G.; OCCHIOGROSSO, G.; PETRELLI, G.; CASTELLINI, M.; SPAGNUOLO, M. Cover crop for a sustainable viticulture: effects on soil properties and table grape production. Agronomy, v. 10, n. 9, e1334, 2020.). The excessive use of agrochemicals and the traffic of agricultural machinery, especially tractors, increase the soil compaction, reducing the O2 availability and promoting a CO2 emission decrease and a N2O and CH4 increase (Brentrup et al. 2000BRENTRUP, F.; KUSTERS, J.; LAMMEL, J.; KUHLMANN, H. Methods to estimate onfield nitrogen emissions from crop production as an input to LCA studies in the agricultural sector. International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, v. 5, n. 6, p. 349-357, 2000.). It can also increase soil runoff, causing erosion and, consequentely, reducing the topsoil and soil organic matter, thus decreasing the soil C retention capacity and promoting a CO2 increase (Bogunovic et al. 2019BOGUNOVIC, I.; ANDABAKA, Z.; STUPIC, D.; PEREIRA, P.; GALIC, M.; NOVAK, K.; TELAK, L. J. Continuous grass coverage as a management practice in humid environment vineyards increases compaction and CO2 emissions but does not modify must quality. Land Degradation & Development, v. 30, n. 18, p. 2347-2359, 2019.).
Agricultural soils are major sources of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Nitrogen fertilizers stimulate the nitrification and denitrification processes in the soil, being the main processes producing nitrous oxide (N2O) (Signor & Cerri 2013SIGNOR, D.; CERRI, C. E. P. Nitrous oxide emissions in agricultural soils: a review. Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, v. 43, n. 3, p. 322-338, 2013.). On the other hand, the soil disturbance and cultivation of cover crops, as well as soil moisture, strongly influence the processes of carbon (C) fixation and regeneration responsible for regulating the fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from the soil to the atmosphere (Gattullo et al. 2020GATTULLO, C. E.; MEZZAPESA, G. N.; STELLACCI, A. M.; FERRARA, G.; OCCHIOGROSSO, G.; PETRELLI, G.; CASTELLINI, M.; SPAGNUOLO, M. Cover crop for a sustainable viticulture: effects on soil properties and table grape production. Agronomy, v. 10, n. 9, e1334, 2020.).
The year 2019 was a record year for atmospheric concentrations of CO2 for the last 2 million years, and CH4 and N2O for the last 800,000 years (IPCC 2023INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC). Summary for policymakers. In: TEAM, C. W.; LEE, H.; ROMERO, J. (ed.). Climate Change 2023: synthesis report: contribution of working groups I, II and III to the sixth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Geneva: IPCC, 2023. p. 1-34.). The agricultural sector was responsible for 22 % of the global net emissions (59 ± 6.6 Gt CO 2 -eq) (IPCC 2023INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC). Summary for policymakers. In: TEAM, C. W.; LEE, H.; ROMERO, J. (ed.). Climate Change 2023: synthesis report: contribution of working groups I, II and III to the sixth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Geneva: IPCC, 2023. p. 1-34.). However, agricultural soils can contribute significantly to mitigating emissions, acting either as sinks or sources of these gases, depending on their management (Zaman et al. 2021ZAMAN, M.; KLEINEIDAM, K.; BAKKEN, L.; BERENDT, J.; BRACKEN, C.; BUTTERBACH-BAHL, K.; CAI, Z.; CHANG, S. X.; CLOUGH, T.; DAWAR, K.; DING, W. X.; DÖRSCH, P.; MARTINS, M. dos R.; ECKHARDT, C.; FIEDLER, S.; FROSCH, T.; GOOPY, J.; GÖRRES, C-M.; GUPTA, A.; HENJES, S.; HOFMANN, M. E. G.; HORN, M. A.; JAHANGIR, M. M. R.; JANSEN-WILLEMS, A.; LENHART, K.; HENG, L.; LEWICKA-SZCZEBAK, D.; LUCIC, G.; MERBOLD, L.; MOHN, J.; MOLSTAD, L.; MOSER, G.; MURPHY, P.; SANZ-COBENA, A.; ŠDMEK, M.; URQUIAGA, S.; WELL, R.; WRAGE-MÖNNIG, N.; ZAMAN, S.; ZHANG, J.; MÜLLER, C. Measuring emission of agricultural greenhouse gases and developing mitigation options using nuclear and related techniques. Vienna: Springer, 2021.).
The proper soil management promotes a sustainable agriculture, being part ofthe Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that make up the 2030 agenda, which aims to sustainably increase yield and food production through agricultural practices that progressively improve the soil quality and increase environmental resilience (ONU 2015ORGANIZAÇÃO DAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS (ONU). Transformando nosso mundo: a Agenda 2030 para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável. 2015. Available at: https://brasil.un.org/pt-br/91863-agenda-2030-para-o-desenvolvimento-sustent%C3%A1vel. Access in: Mar. 2023.

). Thus, this study is related to the Target 13.3 (“Improving education, raising awareness and human and institutional capacity on mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning of climate change”) and the Target 2.4 (“By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, help maintain ecosystems, strengthen adaptive capacity to climate change, extreme weather, droughts, floods and other disasters, and progressively improve land and soil quality”) of the SDG (ONU 2015ORGANIZAÇÃO DAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS (ONU).

).
Given the relevance of the topic addressed, the study performs a PRISMA review to assess greenhouse gas emissions from viticulture, establishing the following questions: what factors are investigated in determining greenhouse gas emissions from viticulture, and how do they influence greenhouse gas emissions in viticulture?
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) methodology was used. It extensively examines all published articles on the studied subject to find answers to a clearly defined question. It is necessary to use several inclusion and exclusion criteria to achieve this objective, choosing the best articles for reviewing and summarizing their results (Selçuk 2019SELÇUK, A. A. A guide for systematic reviews: PRISMA. Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, v. 57, n. 1, e57, 2019.).
The Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) electronic databases were searched for peer-reviewed articles published up to June 2024, written in English or Spanish. The search terms were combined with Boolean operators to find the most eligible studies, and the terms used in the search were (“grape growing” OR “viticulture” OR “vineyard” OR “grape cultivation”) AND (“nitrous oxide” OR “carbon dioxide” OR “methane” OR “greenhouse gas”). These terms should appear in the article title, abstract or keywords.
Three phases selected the final articles: the first screened the title and abstract; the second screened articles by reading the abstracts; and the third included reading the selected articles and tabulating the results.
Articles were eligible if they measured greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, N2O or CH4) in vineyard soils and presented these results clearly, or could be determined from the data presented. This measurement could be done in situ or through estimates. The research excluded articles that were not available in full, those that presented the data only in graphs (since the removal of such data gives rise to error), those that evaluated how the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration would affect the vine photosynthetic process, respiration, growth and yield, and those that assessed the carbon footprint and presented the results of emissions in liters.
A reviewer searched for the aforementioned terms to identify relevant studies, and two reviewers independently assessed the title, abstract and keywords for all articles returned. The criteria previously mentioned determined eligibility for inclusion in the study. In case of disagreement between the reviewers, they tried to reach a consensus. The potentially relevant articles were read in full, applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria again to select the studies to include in the review.
The extracted data were recorded in an electronic spreadsheet, considering the objectives of the systematic review to ensure that all relevant data were identified, namely: identification of the article, meteorological characterization of the studied site, characterization ofthe evaluated soil, characterization of the vineyard, management of the applied soil (type, volume and months in which irrigation occurred, type and quantity of fertilizers used, cover vegetation and its maintenance), the form of measuring gases, evaluation period and the observed results [CO2, N2O and CH4 emissions, influence of the management on emissions, ammonia (NH3) and nitrate (NH4)].
The search identified 201 articles in Scopus and 7 in the Web of Science. After removing duplicate articles, 203 studies remained. The title reading stage eliminated 115 articles, leaving 88. Next, the abstract reading excluded 25 works, keeping 63 potentially relevant articles for a full reading. The eligibility criteria selected 36 relevant articles. Finally, after full reading and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 29 articles remained for the development of this systematic review (Figure 1).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The search for studies on greenhouse gas emissions from viticulture in the Scopus and WoS databases showed that the selected articles began to be published in 2004, totaling 29 articles until June 2024. The years of 2018 and 2022 displayed the most significant number of studies, with 5 and 4 publications per year, respectively (Figure 2). Of the evaluated studies, 13 were carried out before 2015, while the remaining 16 were carried out after 2015.
The 2030 global agenda justifies the increase in publications after 2015. The Agenda, carried out by the United Nations in 2015, promoted sustainable agriculture as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The aim is to sustainably increase yield and food production through resilient agricultural practices that progressively improve soil quality to strengthen the capacity to adapt to climate change (ONU 2015ORGANIZAÇÃO DAS NAÇÕES UNIDAS (ONU).

).
Although this subject is gaining more and more notoriety, it is possible to observe that there are still few studies on the topic associated with vinery production, pointing out the need for more research to understand better the behavior of greenhouse gas emissions from soils cultivated with vines, since climate change caused by the increase in greenhouse gas emissions has a significant impact on agriculture and, consequently, on the world economy (IPCC 2023INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC). Summary for policymakers. In: TEAM, C. W.; LEE, H.; ROMERO, J. (ed.). Climate Change 2023: synthesis report: contribution of working groups I, II and III to the sixth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Geneva: IPCC, 2023. p. 1-34.).
The journal that contributed most to greenhouse gas research in vineyard soils was Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, with 20.69 % of the published studies. The following most relevant journals were Agricultural Water Management, Journal of Cleaner Production, Applied Soil Ecology and Soil Science Society of America Journal. Each one of these journals accounted for 6.90 % of the studies on the subject. The remaining journals (51.71 %) published only one article on the subject.
Regarding geographic distribution, a high variability of the studied regions was observed, with a predominance of the United States (36.67 %) and Italy (16.67 %). China, Croatia and Hungary performed two studies for each country (6.67 %). The other evaluated countries were Argentina, Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Turkey, with one publication each (3.33 %). Of the largest world grape producers in 2022 (China, Italy, France, United States and Spain), only France was not represented in the literature on greenhouse gas emissions (IOV 2023INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION OF VINE AND WINE (IOV). World statistics. 2023. Available at: https://www.oiv.int/what-we-do/global-report?oiv. Access in: Mar. 2023.

).
The researchers grouped the articles according to thematic areas (Table 1). Most studies assessed the relationship between fertilization management (24.14 %) and greenhouse gas emissions due to the great influence of nitrogen on the greenhouse gas emissions. The second most evaluated theme was soil management (18.96 %), followed by cover crops (17.24 %). In smaller numbers, studies were observed on area monitoring (6.90 %), irrigation depth (6.90 %), phenological stages (6.90 %), carbon footprint (5.17 %), machinery traffic (5.17 %), position concerning the crop line (line and between lines) (3.45 %), biochar application (3.45 %) and irrigation method (1.72 %).
The studies grouped under the heading of fertilizer management evaluated organic and mineral fertilization compared to unfertilized soil and compared among different nitrogen sources. Table 2 shows the nitrogen sources, fertilizer emission factor, studied soil clay content and local climatic characteristics of some studies that evaluated N2O emissions from fertilizer application. Other factors contributing to emissions are soil preparation, soil temperature, soil water content and season.
N2O emission factors for organic and mineral fertilizers evaluated by the selected articles.
The emission factor (EF) refers to the average emission rate of nitrous oxide for a given nitrogen source (IPCC 2019INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC). N2O emissions from managed soils, and CO2 emissions from lime and urea application. In: DARIO GÓMEZ, D.; IRVING, W. (ed.). Refinement to the 2006 IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories. Geneva: IPCC, 2019. p. 1-48.). This value was calculated in those studies that did not present the emission factor but contained the data necessary for its determination. This factor determination is based on refining the IPCC report data (IPCC 2019INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC). N2O emissions from managed soils, and CO2 emissions from lime and urea application. In: DARIO GÓMEZ, D.; IRVING, W. (ed.). Refinement to the 2006 IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories. Geneva: IPCC, 2019. p. 1-48.): EF = [(N2Of - NJD)/ Nf] × 100, where: EF is the emission factor (%); N2Ofthe N2O emission during the experimental period in a fertilized plot (kg ha−1); N2Oc the N2O emission during the experimental period in a control plot (kg ha−1); and Nf the nitrogen input (kg ha1).
In the evaluated studies, organic fertilizers presented an emission factor between 0.02 and 13.4 %, while mineral fertilizers ranged from 0.16 to 15.1 %. Mineral nitrogen fertilizers promoted higher N2O emissions than organic fertilizers. Verhoeven & Six (2014)VERHOEVEN, E.; SIX, J. Biochar does not mitigate field-scale N2O emissions in a northern California vineyard: an assessment across two years. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 191, n. 1, p. 27-38, 2014. observed the highest emissions. The authors concluded that up to 15.1 % of the applied synthetic nitrogen can be converted to N2O, while different biochar emissions reached up to 13.4 %. The observed values were much higher than those presented by the IPCC (2019)INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC). N2O emissions from managed soils, and CO2 emissions from lime and urea application. In: DARIO GÓMEZ, D.; IRVING, W. (ed.). Refinement to the 2006 IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories. Geneva: IPCC, 2019. p. 1-48., whith an average of 0.010 (95 % CI 0.002-0.018) for synthetic and organic fertilizers. According to the IPCC (2019)INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC). N2O emissions from managed soils, and CO2 emissions from lime and urea application. In: DARIO GÓMEZ, D.; IRVING, W. (ed.). Refinement to the 2006 IPCC guidelines for national greenhouse gas inventories. Geneva: IPCC, 2019. p. 1-48., the climate region (humid or dry), type of fertilizer, application rate, water management, soil cover, soil texture class, soil C content and soil alkalinity are the main factors influencing the N2O emission factor.
Most ofthe selected studies (55.17 %) reported using some form of irrigation. Among those that did it, 64.7 % used drip irrigation, 5.89 % sprinklers, 5.89 % flood irrigation and 11.76 % did not report the form of irrigation used. Meanwhile, 20.69 % of the studies did not use irrigation, 24.14 % of the selected articles did not report whether or not they used irrigation, and 11.76 % were incubation experiments and worked with 60 and 70 % of field capacity. Table 3 shows the accumulated emissions of N2O, CO2 and CH4 described in the selected studies due to the use or not of some form of irrigation.
Cumulative greenhouse gas emissions from studies that did or did not use some form of irrigation.
It is possible to observe that areas that received some form of irrigation presented higher N2O and CO2 accumulated emissions and lower CH4 emissions than areas without irrigation. The increase in soil water content increases the denitrification process and, as incomplete, denitrification produces and emits N2O and NO (Brentrup et al. 2000BRENTRUP, F.; KUSTERS, J.; LAMMEL, J.; KUHLMANN, H. Methods to estimate onfield nitrogen emissions from crop production as an input to LCA studies in the agricultural sector. International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, v. 5, n. 6, p. 349-357, 2000.). The increase in soil moisture also increases CO2 emissions, since it stimulates the microbial activity. However, waterlogged soils favor CH4 emissions (Cardoso & Andreote 2016CARDOSO, E. J. B. N.; ANDREOTE, F. D. Microbiologia do solo. 2. ed. Piracicaba: ESALQ, 2016.).
Few among the selected studies analyze the CH4 emissions: only Litskas et al. (2013)LITSKAS, V. D.; KARAOLIS, C. S.; MENEXES, G. C.; MAMOLOS, A. P.; KOUTSOS, T. M.; KALBURTJI, K. L. Variation of energy flow and greenhouse gas emissions in vineyards located in Natura 2000 sites. Ecological Indicators, v. 27, n. 1, p. 1-7, 2013. quantified their emissions in a non-irrigated area. At the same time, Wolff et al. (2018)WOLFF, M. W.; ALSINA, M. M.; STOCKERT, C. M.; KHALSA, S. D. S.; SMART, D. R. Minimum tillage of a cover crop lowers net GWP and sequesters soil carbon in a California vineyard. Soil and Tillage Research, v. 175, n.1, p. 244-254, 2018. evaluated an irrigated area. Although increased soil water content increases CH4 emissions (Le Mer & Roger 2001LE MER, J.; ROGER, P. Production, oxidation, emission and consumption of methane by soils: a review. European Journal of Soil Science, v. 37, n. 2001, p. 25-50, 2001.), the assessed studies did not show this behavior. In these studies, the accumulated CH4 emission was higher in the non-irrigated area. Other factors, such as soil texture and aeration, may be responsible for these results, but the authors did not present these data (Serrano-Silva et al. 2014SERRANO-SILVA, N.; SARRIA-GUZMÁN, Y.; DENDOOVEN, L.; LUNA-GUIDO, M. Methanogenesis and methanotrophy in soil: a review. Pedosphere, v. 24, n. 3, p. 291-307, 2014., Le Mer & Roger 2001LE MER, J.; ROGER, P. Production, oxidation, emission and consumption of methane by soils: a review. European Journal of Soil Science, v. 37, n. 2001, p. 25-50, 2001.). The irrigated area evaluated by Wolff et al. (2018)WOLFF, M. W.; ALSINA, M. M.; STOCKERT, C. M.; KHALSA, S. D. S.; SMART, D. R. Minimum tillage of a cover crop lowers net GWP and sequesters soil carbon in a California vineyard. Soil and Tillage Research, v. 175, n.1, p. 244-254, 2018. had an average soil texture of 42 % of silt, 33 % of sand and 25 % of clay. Sandier soils present lower CH4 emissions, when compared to clayey soils, and may behave as gas sinks (Cardoso & Andreote 2016CARDOSO, E. J. B. N.; ANDREOTE, F. D. Microbiologia do solo. 2. ed. Piracicaba: ESALQ, 2016.).
N2O was the greenhouse gas most studied by the selected authors (47.5 %). This selection can be explained mainly by the amount of nitrogen fertilizers applied to this crop and their relationship with irrigation events, rainfall, temperature and soil texture, increasing N2O emissions (Hassan et al. 2022HASSAN, M. U.; AAMER, M.; MAHMOOD, A.; AWAN, M. I.; BARBANTI, L.; SELEIMAN, M. F.; BAKHSH, G.; ALKHARABSHEH, H. M.; BABUR, E.; SHAO, J.; RASHEED, A. Management strategies to mitigate N2O emissions in agriculture. Life, v. 12, n. 3, e439, 2022.). The CO2 emissions from the soil (45 %) were also extensively studied, since soil preparation practices are directly related to the increase in soil carbon release (Silva et al. 2022SILVA, W. M. D.; BIANCHINI, A.; AMORIM, R. S.; COUTO, E. G.; WEBER, O. L. D. S.; HOSHIDE, A. K.; PEREIRA, P. S.; CREMON, C.; ABREU, D. C. D. Soil efflux of carbon dioxide in Brazilian Cerrado wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under variable soil preparation and irrigation. Agriculture, v. 12, n. 2, e163, 2022.).
The least studied greenhouse gas was CH4 (7.5 %), which requires anaerobic conditions for its production. Applying nitrogen fertilizers reduces the CH4 production, since these compounds compete for the same enzyme, nitrogen reductase, involved in producing N2O (Serrano-Silva et al. 2014SERRANO-SILVA, N.; SARRIA-GUZMÁN, Y.; DENDOOVEN, L.; LUNA-GUIDO, M. Methanogenesis and methanotrophy in soil: a review. Pedosphere, v. 24, n. 3, p. 291-307, 2014.). In addition, many crops are grown under irrigated conditions, affecting the soil CH4 production. Therefore, including this gas in the evaluations would be essential to bring a greater robustness to the study.
Most studies used the chamber method to determine greenhouse gas emissions (58.62 %). The chamber method studies varied among static, dynamic, ventilated, closed, open and automatic types, coupled with non-dispersive infrared gas analyzer and data logger systems. The other measurement methodologies consisted of estimates (17.24 %), incubation (10.34 %), Eddy covariance technique (6.90 %), net ecosystem production (NEP) (3.45 %) and non-steady state (3.45 %).
The studied organic fertilizers presented different results regarding their influence on greenhouse gas emissions. Tatti et al. (2012)TATTI, E.; GOYER, C.; ZEBARTH, B. J.; BURTON, D. L.; GIOVANNETTI, L.; VITI, C. Short-term effects of mineral and organic fertilizer on denitrifiers, nitrous oxide emissions and denitrification in long-term amended vineyard soils. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v. 77, n. 1, p. 113-122, 2012. and Peregrina et al. (2012)PEREGRINA, F.; LARRIETA, C.; COLINA, M.; MARISCAL-SANCHO, I.; MARTÍN, I.; MARTÍNEZ-VIDAURRE, J. M.; GARCÍA-ESCUDERO, E. Spent mushroom substrates influence soil quality and nitrogen availability in a semiarid vineyard soil. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v. 76, n. 5, p. 1655-1666, 2012. examined the impact of composts on soil CO2 emissions, compared to soils without fertilization. Peregrina et al. (2012)PEREGRINA, F.; LARRIETA, C.; COLINA, M.; MARISCAL-SANCHO, I.; MARTÍN, I.; MARTÍNEZ-VIDAURRE, J. M.; GARCÍA-ESCUDERO, E. Spent mushroom substrates influence soil quality and nitrogen availability in a semiarid vineyard soil. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v. 76, n. 5, p. 1655-1666, 2012. evaluated two doses of composts (8 and 25 t ha−1) produced from fresh mushrooms without any processing and from mushrooms composted under anaerobic conditions in a soil classified as fine-loamy, mixed, thermic Typic Haploxerepts (USDA 1999UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA).

The substrate was applied manually in May 2006, April 2007, February 2008 and March 2009, and the researchers plowed the soil immediately after. The application of low doses did not promote changes in emissions, while the high dose doubled, only once, soil CO2 emissions. Wong et al. (2023)WONG, C. T. F.; FALCONE, M.; RICH, G.; STUBLER, C.; MALAMA, B.; LAZCANO, C.; DECOCK, C. Short-term effects of increasing compost application rates on soil C and greenhouse gas (N2O and CO2) emissions in a California central coast vineyard. Frontiers in Environmental Science, v. 11, e1123510, 2023. evaluated a sandy loam soil with four doses (0, 4.5, 9.0 and 13.5 Mg ha−1) of cattle manure with green pasture remains and observed that, despite seasonal fluctuations in CO2 emissions, accumulated emissions were not different between treatments.
Tatti et al. (2012)TATTI, E.; GOYER, C.; ZEBARTH, B. J.; BURTON, D. L.; GIOVANNETTI, L.; VITI, C. Short-term effects of mineral and organic fertilizer on denitrifiers, nitrous oxide emissions and denitrification in long-term amended vineyard soils. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v. 77, n. 1, p. 113-122, 2012. performed incubation using a Calcaric Cambisol (FAO 2015FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO). World reference base for soil resources: international soil classification system for naming soils and creating legends for soil maps. 4. ed. Rome: FAO, 2015.) managed in two ways: the first with 15 t ha −1 of compost produced from urban organic waste and the second with 50 kg of N ha−1 of mineral fertilizer. The authors applied 40 g of compost as a corrective to the studied soils, compared them to soils without corrections and observed that adding the compost increased CO2 emissions (between: 1.0 and 1.5 mg of CO2-C kg−1 of dry soil h−1; data estimated by the authors), when compared to the treatment without correction (varying between 0.14 and 0.44 mg of CO2-C kg−1 of dry soil h−1). On the other hand, Horel et al. (2018)HOREL, Á.; TÓTH, E.; GELYBÓ, G.; DENCSÓ, M.; POTYÓ, I. Soil CO2 and N2O emission drivers in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera) under different soil management systems and amendments. Sustainability, v. 10, n. 6, e1811, 2018., when applying 14.7 t ha−1 of manure in a Cambisol (FAO 2015FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO). World reference base for soil resources: international soil classification system for naming soils and creating legends for soil maps. 4. ed. Rome: FAO, 2015.), reached opposite results, with emissions from organic fertilization lower than CO2 emissions from unfertilized soil.
Regarding N2O emissions, Minardi et al. (2022)MINARDI, I.; TEZZA, L.; PITACCO, A.; VALENTI, L.; COPPO, L.; GHIGLIENO, I. Evaluation of nitrous oxide emissions from vineyard soil: effect of organic fertilisation and tillage. Journal of Cleaner Production, v. 380, e134557, 2022. observed that applying 9 t ha−1 of a commercially obtained compound increased N2O emissions from an Endogleyic Calcisol (FAO 2015FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO). World reference base for soil resources: international soil classification system for naming soils and creating legends for soil maps. 4. ed. Rome: FAO, 2015.), when compared to an unfertilized soil. The organic fertilizer evaluated by Minard et al. (2022) was characterized before its use; however, the article did not report the raw material from which it was derived. Horel et al. (2018)HOREL, Á.; TÓTH, E.; GELYBÓ, G.; DENCSÓ, M.; POTYÓ, I. Soil CO2 and N2O emission drivers in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera) under different soil management systems and amendments. Sustainability, v. 10, n. 6, e1811, 2018. also observed an increase in N2O emissions by applying 14.7 t ha−1 of manure, when compared to unfertilized soil. Tatti et al. (2012)TATTI, E.; GOYER, C.; ZEBARTH, B. J.; BURTON, D. L.; GIOVANNETTI, L.; VITI, C. Short-term effects of mineral and organic fertilizer on denitrifiers, nitrous oxide emissions and denitrification in long-term amended vineyard soils. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v. 77, n. 1, p. 113-122, 2012. observed that using organic fertilizer reduced N2O emissions, in relation to unfertilized soil.
When evaluating greenhouse gas emissions from soil with mineral fertilizer application, if compared to soil without correction, Tatti et al. (2012)TATTI, E.; GOYER, C.; ZEBARTH, B. J.; BURTON, D. L.; GIOVANNETTI, L.; VITI, C. Short-term effects of mineral and organic fertilizer on denitrifiers, nitrous oxide emissions and denitrification in long-term amended vineyard soils. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v. 77, n. 1, p. 113-122, 2012. used a Calcaric Cambisol (FAO 2015FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO). World reference base for soil resources: international soil classification system for naming soils and creating legends for soil maps. 4. ed. Rome: FAO, 2015.) managed with 50 kg of N ha−1 of ammonium nitrate in an incubation. The soils were further corrected with an ammonium nitrate solution at a dose of 87 mg of N kg−1 of dry soil and compared to the soil without correction. The authors observed increased N2O emissions in soils fertilized with mineral fertilizer (0.51 µg of N2O-N kg−1 h−1), when compared to soil without correction (0.035 µg ofN2O-N kg−1 h−1). In contrast, CO2 emissions were indifferent to the addition of ammonium nitrate. The CO2 and N2O emissions assessed by Marques et al. (2018)MARQUES, F. J.; PEDROSO, V.; TRINDADE, H.; PEREIRA, J. L. Impact of vineyard cover cropping on carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions in Portugal. Atmospheric Pollution Research, v. 9, n 1, p. 105-111, 2018., when applying 50 kg of N ha−1 of ammonium sulfate, were not statistically different from the treatment without fertilizer in a soil classified as Dystric Cambisol (FAO 2015FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO). World reference base for soil resources: international soil classification system for naming soils and creating legends for soil maps. 4. ed. Rome: FAO, 2015.).
Other studies have compared how different nitrogen sources or varying doses of the same fertilizer influenced greenhouse gas emissions. Fentabil et al. (2016)FENTABIL, M. M.; NICHOL, C. F.; NEILSEN, G. H.; HANNAM, K. D.; NEILSEN, D.; FORGE, T. A.; JONES, M. D. Effect of micro-irrigation type, N-source and mulching on nitrous oxide emissions in a semi-arid climate: an assessment across two years in a Merlot grape vineyard. Agricultural Water Management, v. 171, n. 1, p. 49-62, 2016. compared N2O emissions from the application of 40 kg of N ha−1 in the form of compost (produced from grape pomace, straw, crushed bark and cow manure), compared to the same dose applied in the form of urea, and observed no statistical difference between the two forms of fertilizer in the soil with a predominantly sandy texture, but with a significant amount of organic matter, clay and silt (Skaha Sandy Loam; USDA 1999UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA). Soil Survey Staff. Soil taxonomy: a basic system of soil classification for making and interpreting soil surveys. 2. ed. Washington, DC: USDA, 1999.).
Garland et al. (2011)GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions following transition from conventional till to no-till in a cover cropped Mediterranean vineyard (Vitis vinifera). Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 144, n 1, p. 423-428, 2011. analyzed the use of cover crops as a nitrogen source and observed that adding 47 kg of N ha−1 of organic fertilizer as mulch emitted less N2O than plots fertilized with 5 kg ofN ha−1 - urea-ammonium nitrate. Incorporating cover crops may have different effects on N2O emissions, which may have improved nutrient cycling and nitrogen use efficiency, what could justify the N2O emissions reduction.
Garland et al. (2014)GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions from a Mediterranean vineyard: event-related baseline measurements. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 195, n. 1, p. 44-52, 2014., Cheng et al. (2015)CHENG, Y.; ZHANG, J. B.; MÜLLER, C.; WANG, S. Q. 15N tracing study to understand the N supply associated with organic amendments in a vineyard soil. Biology and Fertility of Soils, v. 51, n. 8, p. 983-993, 2015. and Brunori et al. (2016)BRUNORI, E.; FARINA, R.; BIASI, R. Sustainable viticulture: the carbon-sink function of the vineyard agro-ecosystem. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 223, n. 1, p. 10-21, 2016. found opposite results with emissions from organic fertilization higher than those emitted by mineral fertilizers. Garland et al. (2014)GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions from a Mediterranean vineyard: event-related baseline measurements. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 195, n. 1, p. 44-52, 2014. observed increased emissions in areas that used legumes as fertilizer, when compared to urea-ammonium nitrate fertilization. The soil organic matter content may have been high due to the applied plant cover, which acts as an energy and carbon source for microorganisms that consume O2, providing conditions to increase N2O emissions during decomposition, mainly as increasing soil moisture, which favors the denitrification process and promotes emissions of this gas (Brentrup et al. 2000BRENTRUP, F.; KUSTERS, J.; LAMMEL, J.; KUHLMANN, H. Methods to estimate onfield nitrogen emissions from crop production as an input to LCA studies in the agricultural sector. International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, v. 5, n. 6, p. 349-357, 2000.). Emissions from individual management practices, such as cover cropping, when associated with other events favorable to N2O production, such as rainfall, climatic events and weather, can increase N2O emissions (Garland et al. 2014GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions from a Mediterranean vineyard: event-related baseline measurements. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 195, n. 1, p. 44-52, 2014.).
The incubation experiment carried out by Cheng et al. (2015)CHENG, Y.; ZHANG, J. B.; MÜLLER, C.; WANG, S. Q. 15N tracing study to understand the N supply associated with organic amendments in a vineyard soil. Biology and Fertility of Soils, v. 51, n. 8, p. 983-993, 2015. demonstrated that two types of chicken manure with different C/N ratios and rapeseed meal applied at a dosage of 100 mg ofN kg−1 of soil promoted higher emissions of N2O and CO2 than plots that received mineral fertilizer. Although applying material with a low C/N ratio increased the availability of N for microorganisms and plants, once associated with negative environmental consequences, it can lead to increased emissions.
Brunori et al. (2016)BRUNORI, E.; FARINA, R.; BIASI, R. Sustainable viticulture: the carbon-sink function of the vineyard agro-ecosystem. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 223, n. 1, p. 10-21, 2016. compared the conventional management system, with the application of mineral fertilizer, to an organic management system, with manure application, and observed higher CO2 emissions in vineyards with organic fertilization. Manure increased the soil organic matter content, increasing the substrate availability for decomposing microorganisms, thus increasing CO2 emissions.
Guo et al. (2022)GUO, Y.; JI, Y.; ZHANG, J.; LIU, Q.; HAN, J.; ZHANG, L. Effects of water and nitrogen management on N2O emissions and NH3 volatilization from a vineyard in north China. Agricultural Water Management, v. 266, e107601, 2022. evaluated three N doses: 664 (dose traditionally applied), 413, 460 and 460 kg ha−1 together with the nitrification inhibitor 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP), applied in a split manner, distributed on the following dates: April 30, July 3, July 30 and November 7, and observed that reducing the mineral fertilizer dose decreased the N2O emissions, if compared to the rate traditionally applied. The association of a reduced dose of urea with the nitrification inhibitor also led to significant reductions in N2O emissions. The DMPP increased the nitrogen use efficiency, slowing down the oxidation of NO3-N via nitrification, leading to a reduction in N2O emissions (Guo et al. 2022GUO, Y.; JI, Y.; ZHANG, J.; LIU, Q.; HAN, J.; ZHANG, L. Effects of water and nitrogen management on N2O emissions and NH3 volatilization from a vineyard in north China. Agricultural Water Management, v. 266, e107601, 2022.).
Litskas et al. (2013)LITSKAS, V. D.; KARAOLIS, C. S.; MENEXES, G. C.; MAMOLOS, A. P.; KOUTSOS, T. M.; KALBURTJI, K. L. Variation of energy flow and greenhouse gas emissions in vineyards located in Natura 2000 sites. Ecological Indicators, v. 27, n. 1, p. 1-7, 2013. grouped several vineyards with different fertilizer input consumptions and observed that the groups with lower consumptions (32.1 kg ha−1 and 68.0 kg ha−1 of N) presented lower N2O, CO2 and CH4 emissions than the group with higher fertilizer consumption (179.1 kg ha−1 of N). The N2O simulations by Deng et al. (2022)DENG, J.; GUO, L.; SALAS, W.; INGRAHAM, P.; CHARRIER-KLOBAS, J. G.; FROLKING, S.; LI, C. A decreasing trend of nitrous oxide emissions from California cropland from 2000 to 2015. Earth S Future, v. 10, n. 4, e2021EF002526, 2022. also showed decreasing trends in emissions due to the reduction of nitrogen inputs.
Most studies observed the influence of management and soil preparation practices on CO2 and N2O emissions. Only Wolff et al. (2018)WOLFF, M. W.; ALSINA, M. M.; STOCKERT, C. M.; KHALSA, S. D. S.; SMART, D. R. Minimum tillage of a cover crop lowers net GWP and sequesters soil carbon in a California vineyard. Soil and Tillage Research, v. 175, n.1, p. 244-254, 2018. observed CH4 fluxes. However, conventional soil preparation, minimum cultivation of dwarf barley, and annual incorporation of barley cover crops did not influence soil CH4 emissions.
Different papers displayed contradictory results when evaluating how management practices influence CO2 emissions. According to Steenwerth & Belina (2008a)STEENWERTH, K.; BELINA, K. M. Cover crops and cultivation: impacts on soil N dynamics and microbiological function in a Mediterranean vineyard agroecosystem. Applied Soil Ecology, v. 40, n. 2, p. 370-380, 2008a., soil preparation does not promote a difference in emissions. Wolff et al. (2018)WOLFF, M. W.; ALSINA, M. M.; STOCKERT, C. M.; KHALSA, S. D. S.; SMART, D. R. Minimum tillage of a cover crop lowers net GWP and sequesters soil carbon in a California vineyard. Soil and Tillage Research, v. 175, n.1, p. 244-254, 2018. observed the same result when they evaluated conventional soil preparation, minimum cultivation of dwarf barley, and annual incorporation of barley cover crop. Marques et al. (2018)MARQUES, F. J.; PEDROSO, V.; TRINDADE, H.; PEREIRA, J. L. Impact of vineyard cover cropping on carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions in Portugal. Atmospheric Pollution Research, v. 9, n 1, p. 105-111, 2018. also noticed the same CO2 emissions when comparing conventional soil preparation with no-tillage.
When evaluating how the incorporation or cutting of vegetation influenced the accumulated CO2 emissions over two years, Steenwerth et al. (2010)STEENWERTH, K. L.; PIERCE, D. L.; CARLISLE, E. A.; SPENCER, R. G.; SMART, D. R. A vineyard agroecosystem: disturbance and precipitation affect soil respiration under Mediterranean conditions. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v. 74, n. 1, p. 231-239, 2010. observed that only in the second year the management highlighted differences regarding the cover crop incorporation. The incorporation of spontaneous vegetation and the barley cover crop presented higher emissions than when the barley was only mowed (10.99 ± 0.30, 10.11 ± 0.49 and 8.57 ± 0.54 Mg of CO2-C ha−1, respectively).
Horel et al. (2018)HOREL, Á.; TÓTH, E.; GELYBÓ, G.; DENCSÓ, M.; POTYÓ, I. Soil CO2 and N2O emission drivers in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera) under different soil management systems and amendments. Sustainability, v. 10, n. 6, e1811, 2018. also concluded that soil preparation increases global CO2 emissions.. Bogunovi et al. (2019) compared conventional soil preparation, long-term interrow grass cover, soil preparation in a given year followed by a year without soil preparation and allowing spontaneous vegetation to serve as cover, and soil preparation in one year followed by a year with spontaneous vegetation serving as cover and soil preparation the following year. The different evaluated management methods showed higher emissions in the tillage in a given year with spontaneous vegetation serving as cover soil preparation the following year, followed by continuous grass coverage, fallowed tillage in a given year followed by a year without soil preparation and allowing spontaneous vegetation to serve as cover and conventional tillage (120.3, 111.4, 71.7 and 51.5 kg of CO2 ha−1 year−1, respectively). The higher CO2 emissions from the mulch treatments derived from increased microbiological activity associated with the rise in carbon availability in the soil (Bogunovic et al. 2019BOGUNOVIC, I.; ANDABAKA, Z.; STUPIC, D.; PEREIRA, P.; GALIC, M.; NOVAK, K.; TELAK, L. J. Continuous grass coverage as a management practice in humid environment vineyards increases compaction and CO2 emissions but does not modify must quality. Land Degradation & Development, v. 30, n. 18, p. 2347-2359, 2019.).
Regarding the influence of management practices on N2O emissions, Garland et al. (2011)GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions following transition from conventional till to no-till in a cover cropped Mediterranean vineyard (Vitis vinifera). Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 144, n 1, p. 423-428, 2011. found no difference when comparing conventional tillage versus no-tillage practices. Wolff et al. (2018)WOLFF, M. W.; ALSINA, M. M.; STOCKERT, C. M.; KHALSA, S. D. S.; SMART, D. R. Minimum tillage of a cover crop lowers net GWP and sequesters soil carbon in a California vineyard. Soil and Tillage Research, v. 175, n.1, p. 244-254, 2018. also found no statistical difference among conventional soil preparation, minimum cultivation of dwarf barley and annual incorporation of barley cover crop. At the same time, Steenwerth & Belina (2008b)STEENWERTH, K.; BELINA, K. M. Cover crops enhance soil organic matter, carbon dynamics and microbiological function in a vineyard agroecosystem. Applied Soil Ecology, v. 40, n. 2, p. 359-369, 2008b. observed that the soil preparation increased daily N2O emissions. The mathematical modeling performed by Deng et al. (2018)DENG, J.; LI, C.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SMART, D.; SIX, J.; GUO, L.; SALAS, W.; FROLKING, S. Assessing short-term impacts of management practices on N2O emissions from diverse Mediterranean agricultural ecosystems using a biogeochemical model. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, v. 123, n. 5, p. 1557-1571, 2018. corroborated this result, with conventional management presenting slightly higher emissions than reduced management and no management. Marques et al. (2018)MARQUES, F. J.; PEDROSO, V.; TRINDADE, H.; PEREIRA, J. L. Impact of vineyard cover cropping on carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions in Portugal. Atmospheric Pollution Research, v. 9, n 1, p. 105-111, 2018. reached the same conclusions, in areas where soil preparation displayed higher emissions than the no-tillage system.
Only one study (Steenwerth & Belina 2010)STEENWERTH, K. L.; BELINA, K. M. Vineyard weed management practices influence nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 138, n. 1-2, p. 127-131, 2010. evaluated herbicide behavior. The authors compared the use of herbicides for weed control with the use of Clemens® mechanical cultivators and observed that areas using mechanical cultivators presented a slightly higher total carbon and microbial biomass and lower N2O emissions than the herbicide use.
Individual handling practices may not immediately affect N2O emissions. However, they may favor emissions when combined with other events such as rainfall, irrigation, soil temperature and soil texture (Garland et al. 2014GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions from a Mediterranean vineyard: event-related baseline measurements. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 195, n. 1, p. 44-52, 2014.).
The selected studies evaluated the use of cover crops grown widely, and, like the other factors, its use generated different results. Regarding CO2 emissions, Wolff et al. (2018)WOLFF, M. W.; ALSINA, M. M.; STOCKERT, C. M.; KHALSA, S. D. S.; SMART, D. R. Minimum tillage of a cover crop lowers net GWP and sequesters soil carbon in a California vineyard. Soil and Tillage Research, v. 175, n.1, p. 244-254, 2018. found no statistical difference between soil without cover and soil cultivated using cover crops, dwarf barley and barley. The spontaneous vegetation evaluated by Marques et al. (2018)MARQUES, F. J.; PEDROSO, V.; TRINDADE, H.; PEREIRA, J. L. Impact of vineyard cover cropping on carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions in Portugal. Atmospheric Pollution Research, v. 9, n 1, p. 105-111, 2018. also did not promote a statistical difference in accumulated emissions, when compared to soil without cover. On the other hand, Steenwerth & Belina (2008a)STEENWERTH, K.; BELINA, K. M. Cover crops and cultivation: impacts on soil N dynamics and microbiological function in a Mediterranean vineyard agroecosystem. Applied Soil Ecology, v. 40, n. 2, p. 370-380, 2008a. observed that the cover crops Trios 102 (Triticale x Triosecale) and Marced Rey (Secale cereale) presented higher emissions than the perennial barley crop.
Winter cover crops studied by Steenwerth et al. (2010)STEENWERTH, K. L.; PIERCE, D. L.; CARLISLE, E. A.; SPENCER, R. G.; SMART, D. R. A vineyard agroecosystem: disturbance and precipitation affect soil respiration under Mediterranean conditions. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v. 74, n. 1, p. 231-239, 2010. presented lower accumulated CO2 emissions than spontaneous vegetation, when both were incorporated into the soil. Uliarte et al. (2014)ULIARTE, E. M.; PARERA, C. A.; ALESSANDRIA, E. E.; DALMASSO, A. D. Intercambio gaseoso y eficiencia en el uso del agua de cultivos de cobertura con especies nativas (Mendoza, Argentina), exóticas cultivadas y malezas. Agriscientia, v. 31, n. 2, p. 49-61, 2014. evaluated the summer emissions of native herbaceous vegetation, exotic species, weeds and bare soil, either with or without water restriction. During the summer, without water restriction, they observed that only the bare soil and native winter grass (Secale cereale L.) behaved as a CO2 source. The weed Cynodon dactylon presented the highest absorption, which was different from the other species, except for native grass [Digitaria californica (Benth.) Henrad], while the lowest rates were observed for exotic grass (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and native grass [Nassella tenuis (Phil.) Barkworth]. As submitted to water restriction conditions, the exotic grass, native grass, native winter grass, exotic legume varieties and bare soil (F. Arundinacea, N. tenuis, S. cereale and Trifolium repens L., respectively) behaved as a source of CO2. Weeds and native C4 species continued acting as drains, but in smaller quantities than without the water restriction condition. Bogunovic et al. (2019)BOGUNOVIC, I.; ANDABAKA, Z.; STUPIC, D.; PEREIRA, P.; GALIC, M.; NOVAK, K.; TELAK, L. J. Continuous grass coverage as a management practice in humid environment vineyards increases compaction and CO2 emissions but does not modify must quality. Land Degradation & Development, v. 30, n. 18, p. 2347-2359, 2019. also observed that the use of cover crops increased CO2 emissions, when compared to conventional management, which consisted of preparing the soil two to three times a year during spontaneous vegetation growth, leaving the soil uncovered.
Regarding the influence of cover crops on N2O emissions, Garland et al. (2014)GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions from a Mediterranean vineyard: event-related baseline measurements. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 195, n. 1, p. 44-52, 2014. compared emissions during the planting year of a legume and the fallow year, describing that the planting year presented emissions seven times higher than the fallow year. When comparing perennial crops to cover crops, Steenwerth & Belina (2008b)STEENWERTH, K.; BELINA, K. M. Cover crops enhance soil organic matter, carbon dynamics and microbiological function in a vineyard agroecosystem. Applied Soil Ecology, v. 40, n. 2, p. 359-369, 2008b. observed that the accumulated flux of N2O was more significant in the cover crops Trios 102 (Triticale x Triosecale) and Marced Rey (S. cereale) than in the perennial crop barley.
Fentabil et al. (2016)FENTABIL, M. M.; NICHOL, C. F.; NEILSEN, G. H.; HANNAM, K. D.; NEILSEN, D.; FORGE, T. A.; JONES, M. D. Effect of micro-irrigation type, N-source and mulching on nitrous oxide emissions in a semi-arid climate: an assessment across two years in a Merlot grape vineyard. Agricultural Water Management, v. 171, n. 1, p. 49-62, 2016. observed reduced CO2 emissions after applying mulch composed of shredded tree bark and wood chips, in relation to bare soil. Deng et al. (2018)DENG, J.; LI, C.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SMART, D.; SIX, J.; GUO, L.; SALAS, W.; FROLKING, S. Assessing short-term impacts of management practices on N2O emissions from diverse Mediterranean agricultural ecosystems using a biogeochemical model. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, v. 123, n. 5, p. 1557-1571, 2018. compared emissions among bare soil and covered with leguminous and non-leguminous covers, and observed that the use of cover crops substantially reduces emissions. Marques et al. (2018)MARQUES, F. J.; PEDROSO, V.; TRINDADE, H.; PEREIRA, J. L. Impact of vineyard cover cropping on carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions in Portugal. Atmospheric Pollution Research, v. 9, n 1, p. 105-111, 2018. observed no difference when evaluating the impact of the use of resident vegetation on N2O emissions.
Three authors studied the effect of grape developing phenological stages on greenhouse gas emission and observed that the vineyard behaves as a greenhouse gas source or sink depending on the development phase or the management used. Spano et al. (2004)SPANO, D.; DUCE, P.; SNYDER, R. L. Estimate of mass and energy fluxes over grapevine using Eddy covariance technique. Acta Horticulturae, v. 664, n. 1, p. 631-368, 2004. noticed that vineyards can behave as a CO2 sink during the grape veraison phase. On the other hand, Horel et al. (2018)HOREL, Á.; TÓTH, E.; GELYBÓ, G.; DENCSÓ, M.; POTYÓ, I. Soil CO2 and N2O emission drivers in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera) under different soil management systems and amendments. Sustainability, v. 10, n. 6, e1811, 2018. assessed emissions during all vineyard phenological stages after soil preparation and addition of biochar and organic fertilizer, and observed that the soil preparation reduces CO2 emissions until the harvest phase. After this period, emissions from soil with the addition of biochar become lower. The organic fertilizer treatments presented similar emissions during the growth phase and after harvest. The soil adde of manure and biochar presented lower CO2 emissions during the fruiting and veraison periods. Marras et al. (2015)MARRAS, S.; MASIA, S.; DUCE, P.; SPANO, D.; SIRCA, C. Carbon footprint assessment on a mature vineyard. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, v. 214, n. 1, p. 350-356, 2015. observed that the vineyard behaved as a net carbon sink during the growth phase, with July and August as the months of most significant consumption. The highest CO2 consumption occurred during the dry season (May to September), when irrigation occurred.
Garland et al. (2014)GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions from a Mediterranean vineyard: event-related baseline measurements. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 195, n. 1, p. 44-52, 2014. assessed N2O emissions in vinery cultivated areas over two years, observing that N2O emissions were higher in the crop rows during the growth period. On the other hand, the highest emissions occurred between the rows during dormancy, with the first year presenting much higher emissions than the second, in response to the first rainfall event. Horel et al. (2018)HOREL, Á.; TÓTH, E.; GELYBÓ, G.; DENCSÓ, M.; POTYÓ, I. Soil CO2 and N2O emission drivers in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera) under different soil management systems and amendments. Sustainability, v. 10, n. 6, e1811, 2018. only observed a statistical difference during the maturation and post-harvest phases when there was an increase in N2O emissions in soils with the addition of biochar and plowed soils.
Other factors, such as irrigation management, machinery traffic, irrigation method, carbon footprint and area monitoring, were evaluated to a lesser extent. Fentabil et al. (2016)FENTABIL, M. M.; NICHOL, C. F.; NEILSEN, G. H.; HANNAM, K. D.; NEILSEN, D.; FORGE, T. A.; JONES, M. D. Effect of micro-irrigation type, N-source and mulching on nitrous oxide emissions in a semi-arid climate: an assessment across two years in a Merlot grape vineyard. Agricultural Water Management, v. 171, n. 1, p. 49-62, 2016. studied the irrigation method, as the authors compared micro-sprinkling with dripping; however, they observed that the irrigation method did not affect N2O emissions.
Bogunovic et al. (2017,BOGUNOVIC, I.; BILANDZIJA, D.; ANDABAKA, Z.; STUPIC, D.; COMINO, J. R.; CACIC, M.; BREZINSCAK, L.; MALETIC, E.; PEREIRA, P.

Evaluation of nitrous oxide emissions from vineyard soil: effect of organic fertilisation and tillage. Journal of Cleaner Production, v. 380, e134557, 2022. evaluated the influence of machinery traffic on CO2 and N2O emissions. Bogunovic et al. (2017)BOGUNOVIC, I.; BILANDZIJA, D.; ANDABAKA, Z.; STUPIC, D.; COMINO, J. R.; CACIC, M.; BREZINSCAK, L.; MALETIC, E.; PEREIRA, P. Soil compaction under different management practices in a Croatian vineyard. Arabian Journal of Geosciences, v. 10, e340, 2017. assessed CO2 emissions due to machinery traffic in four types of management and concluded that yearly inversed grass-covered planting and tillage-managed soil presented lower CO2 fluxes due to increased soil compaction.
Bogunovic et al. (2019)BOGUNOVIC, I.; ANDABAKA, Z.; STUPIC, D.; PEREIRA, P.; GALIC, M.; NOVAK, K.; TELAK, L. J. Continuous grass coverage as a management practice in humid environment vineyards increases compaction and CO2 emissions but does not modify must quality. Land Degradation & Development, v. 30, n. 18, p. 2347-2359, 2019. observed that CO2 emissions were higher after 3 and 11 tractor passes (spring and autumn, respectively) and lower after six tractor passes (summer). This reduction in emissions may be associated with a decrease in soil water content, which, together with increased compaction due to increased passes, may reduce emissions. The same behavior was not observed after 11 tractor passes, probably due to increased soil water content due to autumn rains (Bogunovic et al. 2019BOGUNOVIC, I.; ANDABAKA, Z.; STUPIC, D.; PEREIRA, P.; GALIC, M.; NOVAK, K.; TELAK, L. J. Continuous grass coverage as a management practice in humid environment vineyards increases compaction and CO2 emissions but does not modify must quality. Land Degradation & Development, v. 30, n. 18, p. 2347-2359, 2019.). Minardi et al. (2022)MINARDI, I.; TEZZA, L.; PITACCO, A.; VALENTI, L.; COPPO, L.; GHIGLIENO, I. Evaluation of nitrous oxide emissions from vineyard soil: effect of organic fertilisation and tillage. Journal of Cleaner Production, v. 380, e134557, 2022. monitored the behavior of soil N2O fluxes in two areas, with and without machinery traffic, and observed that areas without machinery circulation had lower total organic carbon and nitrogen contents and a lower C/N ratio, what could explain the lower N2O emissions in the area.
Steenwerth & Belina (2010)STEENWERTH, K. L.; BELINA, K. M. Vineyard weed management practices influence nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 138, n. 1-2, p. 127-131, 2010., Verhoeven & Six (2014)VERHOEVEN, E.; SIX, J. Biochar does not mitigate field-scale N2O emissions in a northern California vineyard: an assessment across two years. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 191, n. 1, p. 27-38, 2014., Marras et al. (2015)MARRAS, S.; MASIA, S.; DUCE, P.; SPANO, D.; SIRCA, C. Carbon footprint assessment on a mature vineyard. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, v. 214, n. 1, p. 350-356, 2015. and Guo et al. (2022)GUO, Y.; JI, Y.; ZHANG, J.; LIU, Q.; HAN, J.; ZHANG, L. Effects of water and nitrogen management on N2O emissions and NH3 volatilization from a vineyard in north China. Agricultural Water Management, v. 266, e107601, 2022. studied the influence of irrigation management on greenhouse gas emissions. Steenwerth & Belina (2010)STEENWERTH, K. L.; BELINA, K. M. Vineyard weed management practices influence nitrate leaching and nitrous oxide emissions. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 138, n. 1-2, p. 127-131, 2010., evaluating the use of mechanical cultivators and herbicides for weed control associated with the presence or absence of irrigation, noticed that the presence of irrigation initially increased N2O emissions from soils in both forms of control, and that, after subsequent irrigations, emissions became insignificant, not differing between treatments. Verhoeven & Six (2014)VERHOEVEN, E.; SIX, J. Biochar does not mitigate field-scale N2O emissions in a northern California vineyard: an assessment across two years. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 191, n. 1, p. 27-38, 2014. observed no significant difference when applying two irrigation volumes (1,268 and 2,534 L) in two years. In this case, irrigation was carried out from April to October by dripping in the crop rows. In the meantime, Guo et al. (2022)GUO, Y.; JI, Y.; ZHANG, J.; LIU, Q.; HAN, J.; ZHANG, L. Effects of water and nitrogen management on N2O emissions and NH3 volatilization from a vineyard in north China. Agricultural Water Management, v. 266, e107601, 2022. studied vines that had a 30-40 % reduction in the water volume applied (control volume: 3,640 m3 ha−1), pointing out a reduction in N2O emissions.
Water is considered a limiting factor for greenhouse gas emissions. According to Marras et al. (2015)MARRAS, S.; MASIA, S.; DUCE, P.; SPANO, D.; SIRCA, C. Carbon footprint assessment on a mature vineyard. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, v. 214, n. 1, p. 350-356, 2015., when water is not a limiting factor (due to irrigation practices), carbon sequestration in vineyards can reach relatively high values.
When comparing emissions between crop lines and between rows, both Garland et al. (2014)GARLAND, G. M.; SUDDICK, E.; BURGER, M.; HORWATH, W. R.; SIX, J. Direct N2O emissions from a Mediterranean vineyard: event-related baseline measurements. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 195, n. 1, p. 44-52, 2014. and Verhoeven & Six (2014)VERHOEVEN, E.; SIX, J. Biochar does not mitigate field-scale N2O emissions in a northern California vineyard: an assessment across two years. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 191, n. 1, p. 27-38, 2014. observed that the areas between rows presented higher N2O emissions, probably due to the increased N availability provided by cover crops.
Three studies evaluated the carbon footprint of vineyards and found that the main contributors to greenhouse gas emissions are fossil fuels, soil management and fertilizer application (Litskas et al. 2013LITSKAS, V. D.; KARAOLIS, C. S.; MENEXES, G. C.; MAMOLOS, A. P.; KOUTSOS, T. M.; KALBURTJI, K. L. Variation of energy flow and greenhouse gas emissions in vineyards located in Natura 2000 sites. Ecological Indicators, v. 27, n. 1, p. 1-7, 2013., Marras et al. 2015MARRAS, S.; MASIA, S.; DUCE, P.; SPANO, D.; SIRCA, C. Carbon footprint assessment on a mature vineyard. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, v. 214, n. 1, p. 350-356, 2015., Michos et al. 2018MICHOS, M. C.; MENEXES, G. C.; MAMOLOS, A. P.; TSATSARELIS, C. A.; ANAGNOSTOPOULOS, C. D.; TSABOULA, A. D.; KALBURTJI, K. L. Energy flow, carbon and water footprints in vineyards and orchards to determine environmentally favourable sites in accordance with Natura 2000 perspective. Journal of Cleaner Production, v. 187, n.1 , p. 400-408, 2018.). Rethinking management practices and the amount of fuel and nitrogen fertilizer consumed for grape production makes reducing emissions of N2O, CO2 and CH4 possible.
Spano et al. (2004)SPANO, D.; DUCE, P.; SNYDER, R. L. Estimate of mass and energy fluxes over grapevine using Eddy covariance technique. Acta Horticulturae, v. 664, n. 1, p. 631-368, 2004. measured CO2 emissions from two regions in Italy and observed that, after irrigation, the soil’s CO2 absorption capacity was reduced, thus concluding that the main factors affecting emissions in the studied conditions were rainfall and irrigation.
Livesley et al. (2013)LIVESLEY, S. J.; IDCZAK, D.; FEST, B. J. Differences in carbon density and soil CH4/N2O flux among remnant and agro-ecosystems established since European settlement in the Mornington peninsula, Australia. Science of the Total Environment, v. 465, n. 1, p. 17-25, 2013. assessed N2O and CH4 emissions on three farms during autumn, winter, spring and summer. The vineyard behaved as a weak CH4 source during spring and summer, and a sink during autumn. All seasons displayed small fluxes of N2O, with little correlation between environmental variables, which did not lead to significant differences. On the other hand, simulations of N2O emissions for the California state carried out by Deng et al. (2022)DENG, J.; GUO, L.; SALAS, W.; INGRAHAM, P.; CHARRIER-KLOBAS, J. G.; FROLKING, S.; LI, C. A decreasing trend of nitrous oxide emissions from California cropland from 2000 to 2015. Earth S Future, v. 10, n. 4, e2021EF002526, 2022. showed that the crop type, climate, soil properties, nitrogen fertilization, management carried out and cover crops could explain emissions variations.
Only two studies evaluated the effect of biochar on N2O (Verhoeven & Six 2014,VERHOEVEN, E.; SIX, J. Biochar does not mitigate field-scale N2O emissions in a northern California vineyard: an assessment across two years. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 191, n. 1, p. 27-38, 2014. Horel et al. 2018HOREL, Á.; TÓTH, E.; GELYBÓ, G.; DENCSÓ, M.; POTYÓ, I. Soil CO2 and N2O emission drivers in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera) under different soil management systems and amendments. Sustainability, v. 10, n. 6, e1811, 2018.) and CO2 (Horel et al. 2018HOREL, Á.; TÓTH, E.; GELYBÓ, G.; DENCSÓ, M.; POTYÓ, I. Soil CO2 and N2O emission drivers in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera) under different soil management systems and amendments. Sustainability, v. 10, n. 6, e1811, 2018.) emissions. Verhoeven & Six (2014)VERHOEVEN, E.; SIX, J. Biochar does not mitigate field-scale N2O emissions in a northern California vineyard: an assessment across two years. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, v. 191, n. 1, p. 27-38, 2014. evaluated the effect of biochar derived from walnut shells and pine chips on N2O emissions over two years. The control treatment consisted of a crop row that received fertilization with mineral fertilizer and a row that received organic fertilization in the form of a cover crop composed mainly of legumes (sweet peas, vetch, broad beans and barley). When evaluating the accumulated emissions ofbiochar, the authors observed that the pine chips treatment had higher emissions than the control treatment in both years, while the walnut shells biochar did not differ from the control.
Horel et al. (2018)HOREL, Á.; TÓTH, E.; GELYBÓ, G.; DENCSÓ, M.; POTYÓ, I. Soil CO2 and N2O emission drivers in a vineyard (Vitis vinifera) under different soil management systems and amendments. Sustainability, v. 10, n. 6, e1811, 2018. studied the use of biochar associated with soil management practices and organic fertilization and observed how these affected N2O and CO2 emissions. The biochar used was commercially purchased, had a European Biochar Certificate and derived from grain husks. The authors observed that adding both manure and biochar to the soil can reduce global soil N2O emissions. These factors did not reduce emissions significantly, as evaluated separately. Jet CO2 emissions were higher in the biochar treatment, but these emissions decreased when researchers adopted biochar and manure in synergy. The experiment did not highlight strong correlations between soil water content, temperature or N2O emissions. CO2 emissions, on the other hand, showed weak to moderately strong connections with environmental factors.
Several factors influence greenhouse gas emissions, such as grape variety, local climate conditions, soil characteristics and soil management practices, which can explain the great variability observed in the results (Marras et al. 2015MARRAS, S.; MASIA, S.; DUCE, P.; SPANO, D.; SIRCA, C. Carbon footprint assessment on a mature vineyard. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, v. 214, n. 1, p. 350-356, 2015.). Understanding the detailed spatiotemporal emission dynamics and how these factors interact with each other enables the development of effective methods to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions (Deng et al. 2022DENG, J.; GUO, L.; SALAS, W.; INGRAHAM, P.; CHARRIER-KLOBAS, J. G.; FROLKING, S.; LI, C. A decreasing trend of nitrous oxide emissions from California cropland from 2000 to 2015. Earth S Future, v. 10, n. 4, e2021EF002526, 2022.).
CONCLUSIONS
-
Greenhouse gas emissions in vineyards have been assessed for over two decades, but few studies have been performd until now on the subject. However, the increase in publications on the topic highlights the global concern. The results show that studies were conducted in 12 countries, most in the United States, followed by Italy. The literature review found no studies on this topic performed in Brazil;
-
The studies selected to compose this review mainly evaluated how fertilizer management, soil management and preparation, and cover crops influence greenhouse gas emissions. The studies showed a high variability in greenhouse gas emissions, which can be explained by soil characteristics, climatic conditions, water volume applied, nitrogen dose provided, soil temperature and soil management practices, among other factors.
