Temperate trees require low temperatures during winter and subsequent warm conditions in
early spring to flower and eventually bear fruit. Many parts of the Mediterranean region …

Phenological events, such as flowering, are highly responsive to temperature and are
directly influenced by the establishment of a dormancy period in temperate fruit trees …

Temperate fruit and nut crops require distinctive cold and warm seasons to meet their
physiological requirements and progress through their phenological stages. Consequently …

In a rapidly changing climate resulting in warmer winters, knowledge on the chilling and
heat requirements of deciduous fruit tree cultivars is a pre-requisite for adaptation; however …

Phenology models are crucial tools for assessing climate change impacts in forestry,
ecology and agriculture. Such models are typically calibrated with observational or …

One of the most important agroclimatic variables for stone fruit production is winter chill
accumulation. To estimate chill accumulation in locations where climatic data is not …

Phenology models are crucial tools for assessing climate change impacts in forestry,
ecology and agriculture. Such models are typically calibrated with observational or …

Temperate fruit trees require exposure to chill and heat conditions to overcome the dormant
period in winter and resume growth in spring. Rising temperatures due to climate change …

Temperature is, with high certainty, the most important driver of spring phenology in
deciduous tree crops from temperate climates. Rising temperatures are therefore expected …
