केनोपी की शुक्ष्म जलवायु का अंगूर और वाईन की गुणवत्ता पर प्रभाव Many of the earlier observations among several viticulture scientists all over the world indicated a strong effect of climate on both yield and quality of grapes. To fully understand these effects, we need to differentiate between three levels of the climate based on the ideas of the famous German climatologist, Geiger. Macroclimate (Regional climate): This is the climate of a particular region, and a weather stations located in that region usually describe the general pattern of the macroclimate. Mesoclimate (Site climate): The mesoclimate of a particular vineyard varies from macroclimate of region because of differences in elevation, slope, aspect or distance from moderating...
