Abstract

Vineyard microclimate plays a critical role in determining grape quality and ultimately influences wine characteristics. This study systematically investigates the effects of key microclimatic factors, including temperature, light, humidity, and wind speed, on grape physicochemical properties and flavor compounds. A comprehensive evaluation system for grape quality was established, integrating both traditional indicators and secondary metabolites. Multi-source microclimate data were collected through sensor networks and processed using advanced data fusion techniques. Various modeling approaches, including statistical models, machine learning algorithms, and mechanistic models, were applied to quantify the relationships between microclimate variables and grape quality. The models were validated and optimized to improve predictive accuracy and robustness. A case study conducted in a representative vineyard demonstrated the practical applicability of the proposed framework and provided insights into optimized vineyard management strategies. The results highlight the importance of microclimate regulation and offer a scientific basis for precision viticulture and quality improvement.
