Its target audience comprises representatives of external interested communities as well as the general public. The document summarizes the technical and implementation details of the BigDataGrapes infrastructure, describes the technical choices and the rationale behind them, and discusses the research and scientific particularities faced by each of the BigDataGrapes pilots. More specifically, the document establishes the main objectives of the BigDataGrapes project and summarizes the core outcomes of the four pilot communities represented in the project. Based on these two axes, the technical advancements achieved during the reporting period are contextualised and discussed at a high level. Finally, the report concludes with the presentation of the foreseen next steps and the progress to be achieved during the upcoming sec...

This deliverable aims to incorporate by prototyping onto SITI4Farmer, the relevant functionalities of the BDG software stack, further used in the piloting sessions. Within the BDG scope, the farm management system integration refers to the integration of weather-soil-plant monitoring data via data exchange over Rest-APIs in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format. Another important integration domain is represented by the GEOCLEDIAN Satellite data and the related vegetation indices. The real-life software system allows to define (draw and edit) farming plans at field level on top of which time series of indices are calculated.

The objective of this deliverable is to provide, in the first part, generic guidelines to all the pilots that will constitute instantiations of the use cases that have already been identified in WP2. Updated versions of this deliverable, including refined piloting plans, are due to M15 and M24 of the project lifetime. Deliverable D8.1, "Piloting Plan", is based on the individual plans of the following pilots: Table Grapes Pilot (AUA), Wine Making Pilot (INRA), Farm Management Pilot (ABACO & Geocledian), and Natural Cosmetics Pilot (APIGEA). This document reports tailored guidelines and concludes with a detailed overview of the planning for each of the four pilots. Information wa...

A long time series (1740 – 2009) of sprouts phenological devel- opment coded with the BBCH scale is obtained through paintings visual inspection. Consequently, a model relating sprouts development with thermal resources accumulation is developed on the base of Wien daily air temperature series for the 1857 – 2009 period. Thermal resources is obtained with the Normal Heat Hours approach, a response curve method that takes into account the nonlinear response of phenological development to temperature. The model, calibrated and validated on the 1930 – 2009 period, shows an overestimation of thermal resources when applied to the 1857 – 1929, due to the more advanced phenology of that phase. Since this advance can be ascribed to genetics and management instead of more favorable thermal conditions, model outputs previous to 1930 are decreased by a constant factor. Finally, the 1740 – 2009 time series of grapevine spring thermal resources is obtained applying the model to the complete phenological time series. The analysis of the series highlights a first phase (1740 – 1780) characterized by high and stable availability of thermal resources during the 1740 – 1780, a second phase (1781 – 1820) with the lowest level of resources, a phase of intermediate availability (1821 – 1929) and a final present phase (1930 – 2009) with renewed high availability. The adopted method overcomes the lack of correlation for the post 1960 period shown by previous works.

This work aims to evaluate the effects of European climate variability and change on grapevine cv Chardonnay phenology along the recent period (1981-2012) which was characterized by two homogeneous thermal phases divided by an abrupt shift occurred at the end of the 80s. This goal was pursued applying the operational phenological model of the Iphen project to daily European thermal fields and analyzing the deriving behavior of grapevine phenology (cv Chardonnay) . Since 2006 the Iphen Project (http://cma.entecra.it/iphen/index_EN.html) periodically produces and broadcast Italian maps of phenological analysis and forecasts for grapevine and other relevant natural and cultivated plants such as Olive tree, Cypress, and Locust tree....
