Abstract

Farmers are forced to undertake adaptive measures to protect their crops against climate change impacts. Fruit trees present farmers with unique adaptive challenges. In pursuit to expand the knowledge base on climate change effects on crops in underreported regions, we present herein data from Chile and Tunisia on the vulnerability of cherry and peach orchards to climate change and on possible measures to counter its impact.
