Research demonstrates not so sweet berries under high temperatures on the Sunshine Coast

This article is about sugar content in berries under high temperatures on the Sunshine Coast. The quality of strawberry is strong related to the levels of sugars, acids and volatiles in the fruit. Quality is expected to decrease under global warming due to the impact of higher temperatures on the chemistry of the berries. Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of temperature on soluble solids content (SSC) on the Sunshine Coast.
