Impact of global warming on the yields of strawberry in southern Queensland

This is an article about the Impact of global warming on the yields of strawberry in southern Queensland. Climate plays a key role on the productivity of strawberry. The average daily mean temperature has increased by 2°C over the season on the Sunshine Coast since 1967. The impact of global warming has been less severe on the Granite Belt, with a 1°C increase in the mean temperature. These increases in temperature are associated with a decrease in potential yield of 6 to 12% in the two areas. Further decreases in yield are expected in the next few decades, in the absence of heat-tolerant cultivars or other strategies Introduction Environmental.
