Popis: This study reports on the effect of the vertical shoot type canopy (VST) and umbrella type canopy (UT) on the fruit region microenvironment, light interception, tropospheric ozone, and berry quality of vertical trellis ‘Chambourcin’. The real-time temperature and humidity fluctuation and the daily average temperature of the UT canopy were lower than that of the VST canopy. An extremely high temperature was recorded around the fruit region of the VST canopy. Notably, the UT canopy significantly increased light interception and leaf area index and reduced the damage of atmospheric ozone to the leaves. These phenomena increased the content of soluble solids, anthocyanins, total phenols, flavonoids, and flavanols in the mature fruits of the UT canopy more than in the VST canopy. In conclusion, the UT canopy saves shoot management labor and improves the fruit region’s microenvironment and the content of anthocyanins, total phenols, flavonoids, and flavanols.
