This book, coordinated by Jean-Michel Legave, explores the impact of climate change on fruit production in temperate regions. It examines the socio-economic context, the challenges faced by fruit production sectors, and the agronomic foundations of fruit species development. The work delves into the phenological impacts of climate change, the effects on yield components, and the adaptation strategies necessary to mitigate these impacts. It further discusses genetic improvement and changes in cultivation systems as key strategies for adaptation. The book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the risks and opportunities presented by climate change, targeting an audience of agricultural scientists, policy makers, and those involved in the fruit production industry. |
