Assessing the effects of sustainable vineyard management practices on soil properties
Supervisor: Vanessa Wong
Field of Study: Soils and land management
Support Offered: Project funds
Preferred Program: Geographical Science, Environmental Science or Earth Science with preference for students who have completed EAE3321.
Conventional vineyard management practices largely focus on improving fruit and wine quality, with vegetation removed from the ground surface under vines, leaving the soil bare. Management practices are now shifting to include cover crops under vines to improve soil biological processes and soil moisture retention. This project will assess how changing vineyard management practices affects a range of soil properties
