Manfred Stoll

Manfred Stoll is a Full Professor and Head of the Department of General and Organic Viticulture at Hochschule Geisenheim University. His research focuses on sustainable viticulture, climate change adaptation, and grapevine physiology. He holds a PhD from the University of Adelaide and a Diploma in Biology from Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg.

Research interests include:

• Vineyard responses to elevated CO₂ and drought stress
• Agrivoltaic system economics in viticulture
• Organic/biodynamic viticulture life-cycle assessments
• Precision viticulture technologies for stress monitoring

His recent publications analyze climate adaptation strategies, berry ripening under environmental stressors, and sustainable vineyard management. Trends include agrivoltaics integration, CO₂ impact studies, and terroir-specific climate resilience.

Stoll leads field experiments like the VineyardFACE project, investigating carbon enrichment effects on grape composition. He collaborates internationally on climate adaptation research and develops low-input viticulture systems for steep-slope terrains.
