Abstract:Increasing winter temperatures jeopardize the yield of fruit trees requiring a prolonged and sufficiently cold winter to flower. Assessing the exact risk to different crop varieties is the first step in mitigating the harmful effect of climate change. Since empirically testing the impacts of many temperature scenarios is very time-consuming, quantitative predictive models could be extremely helpful in reducing the number of experiments needed. Here, we focus on olive (Olea europaea) – a traditional crop in the… Show more
