Vineyard Airborne Fungal Community Data from a Two-Year Soil Management Trial

Data Sheet 1_Soil management modulates vineyard airborne fungal communities and impacts fungal disease pressure.pdf is a dataset by Florencia Asinari, last updated on 2026-04-10. It contains results from a two-year field trial in a single vineyard comparing soil management regimes and their effects on airborne fungal diversity and disease symptoms. The dataset is 812.3 KB in size and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between soil management practices and airborne fungal community composition based on the described tillage and inter-row treatments.
• Predicting fungal disease pressure (e.g., downy and powdery mildew) under different climatic conditions based on the trial's visual symptom assessments.
• Analyzing the effect of compost mulching on disease suppression as described in the moderate climatic pressure scenario.
• Investigating the impact of cover crops on grape sugar content and bunch weight as indicated by the °Brix measurements.

Strengths

• Data is from a controlled two-year field trial with defined treatments (conventional tillage, no-till, compost mulch, pruning-wood mulch, living cover crops).
• Includes both biological sampling (airborne fungal diversity via spore sampler) and agronomic outcome measurements (disease symptoms, °Brix, bunch weight).
• Explicitly analyzes the interaction between management practices and seasonal climatic conditions.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is from a single vineyard over two years, limiting geographic and temporal generalizability.
