Vineyards may be biodiversity-rich habitats, as areas between vine rows
could host a diverse flora of local species or cover crops. Vegetation cover within
vineyards provides important ecosystem services, such as soil erosion mitigation
and the provision of habitat and food resources for pollinating insects and natural
enemies of pests. However, dense vegetation cover could also lead to increased
water and nutrient competition between vines and weeds. Frequent tilling or the
use of herbicides for the eradication of vegetation cover are associated with
ecosystem disservices, such as very high rates of erosion, degradation of soil
structure and fertility, contamination of groundwater and high levels of agricultural
inputs, such as pesticides.
In the BiodivERsA project VineDivers, we analyze the effects of three
different management intensities (bare soil, permanent or temporary vegetation
cover) on above- and below-ground biodiversity and the associated ecosystem
services across Europe. We established four plots within each vineyard of high,
medium and low intensity management. In this paper, we present the results of the
plant diversity survey. Up to now, we recorded plant biomass and diversity in 81
Austrian, French, Romanian and Spanish vineyards at least two times a year.
Species diversity was significantly higher in vineyards with permanent or
temporary vegetation cover compared to vineyards with bare soil. In Austria,
diversity in vineyards with permanent vegetation cover was not significantly higher
than in vineyards with temporary vegetation cover. We will discuss the results of
the vegetation survey in view of related ecosystem services in vineyards.
