In the era of escalating climate change, the global landscape is witnessing profound shifts, impacting ecosystems both on a large scale and within localized contexts. Recent data underscore the urgency of understanding these transformations, emphasizing the pivotal role of ecosystem services as critical indicators. The wine supply chain is particularly sensitive to climate changes and disruptive events due to its intricate dependence on ecosystem services. This study seeks to unravel the interactions among perceived benefits from the ecosystem services provided within specific PDO wine areas. Ecosystem services, encompassing the myriad benefits derived from ecosystems and operating at various scales, provide essential resources and perform crucial functions for agricultural sustainability. Vineyards, relying on ecosystem services such as pollination, water regulation, and soil fertility, stand on the frontline of climate-induced changes (Winkler et al., 2017; MEA, 2005), but the entire wine supply chain provides also other ecosystem services, especially the cultural ones (Winkler and Nicholas, 2016). The aim of this study is to identify, classify and measure the perception of benefits from ecosystem services provided within the areas of some PDO wines, i.e., Salice Salentino PDO, Squinzano PDO, Brindisi PDO, located in the Salento sub-region, (Southern Apulia Region, Italy). In line with previous literature in the field (Targetti et al., 2021) and by employing a comprehensive approach that includes the identification, classification, and measurement of the perceived benefits, our study seeks to provide empirical insights that can inform adaptive strategies and policy to face the ongoing transformations.

Abstract
In the era of escalating climate change, the global landscape is witnessing profound shifts, impacting ecosystems both on a large scale and within localized contexts. Recent data underscore the urgency of understanding these transformations, emphasizing the pivotal role of ecosystem services as critical indicators. The wine supply chain is particularly sensitive to climate changes and disruptive events due to its intricate dependence on ecosystem services. This study seeks to unravel the interactions among perceived benefits from the ecosystem services provided within specific PDO wine areas. Ecosystem services, encompassing the myriad benefits derived from ecosystems and operating at various scales, provide essential resources and perform crucial functions for agricultural sustainability. Vineyards, relying on ecosystem services such as pollination, water regulation, and soil fertility, stand on the frontline of climate-induced changes (Winkler et al., 2017; MEA, 2005), but the entire wine supply chain provides also other ecosystem services, especially the cultural ones (Winkler and Nicholas, 2016). The aim of this study is to identify, classify and measure the perception of benefits from ecosystem services provided within the areas of some PDO wines, i.e., Salice Salentino PDO, Squinzano PDO, Brindisi PDO, located in the Salento sub-region, (Southern Apulia Region, Italy). In line with previous literature in the field (Targetti et al., 2021) and by employing a comprehensive approach that includes the identification, classification, and measurement of the perceived benefits, our study seeks to provide empirical insights that can inform adaptive strategies and policy to face the ongoing transformations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
