Abstract

IntroductionGlobal warming simulations predict a general water scarcity and a progressive increase of CO2 in the atmosphere in the Mediterranean region which have led in recent years to increased studies on carbon balance in different ecosystems (oceans, forest and grassland) (Bousquet et al. , Valentini , Flanagan et al. , Piao et al. ). Agriculture, especially vineyards, is an important component of the Mediterranean‐climate ecosystems. In Europe, agriculture occupies large tracts of land, reaching almost half of the total land area (Stoate et al. ), and contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions. Consequently, several organisations have developed strategies to promote carbon sequestration in different crops to mitigate the global climate change effects (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ). The agricultural land area in Spain accounts for almost half of the total land surface (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica ); with vineyards covering over 950 000 ha, Spain has the largest vineyard area both in Europe (30% of total surface) and in the world (13.4% of total surface) (Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin ).
