As the Earth climate changes, current horticulture gives rise to an acute issue - protecting fruit trees from spring frosts and their root system freezing in severe winters with little snow. The authors substantiated methods of how protect frost freezing, as well a method control phenological phases based on study heatmass- exchange intensification certain soil area occupied by tree various eng...

Enhanced cold tolerance, including tolerance to winter freezing and spring frosts, is needed for genetic improvement of current highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cultivars. To gain a better understanding of changes in gene expression associated with development of cold tolerance in blueberry and other woody perennials, forward and reverse subtracted cDNA libraries were prepared in su...

UNLABELLED • PREMISE OF THE STUDY Most alpine plants in the Northeast United States are perennial and flower early in the growing season, extending their limited growing season. Concurrently, they risk the loss of reproductive efforts to late frosts. Quantifying long-term trends in northeastern alpine flower phenology and late-spring/early-summer frost risk is limited by a dearth of phenology...

Over the last decades, fruit trees in Europe have tended to flower earlier due warmer winters. The impact of destructive spring frosts remains considerable as exemplified by damage during pome flowering Belgium between 2017 and 2021. While several regional studies on evolution this phenomenon exist, pear (Pyrus communis) has received little attention. We focused commercially important cultivar ...

Intense spring freezing events can kill the recently produced cohort of leaves, forcing trees to expend additional carbon and nutrient stocks produce a second leaves. The future trends in frequency late frosts will affect adaptation some tree species their current habitats. Here we studied effect frost which occurred 2017 on mixed beech (Fagus sylvatica)-oak (Quercus petraea) forest located cen...

Background . Competitive early-fruiting apple cultivars with high commercial and consumer qualities, resistant to unfavorable stressors, are required for successful horticulture development. Materials methods The study included developed by innovative using scab resistance donors ( Rvi6 ) diploid gamete donors. Foreign commercialized in the region were also used. Conventional variety testing te...

Abstract. Many climate-related disasters often result from a combination of several climate phenomena, also referred to as “compound events’’ (CEs). By interacting with each other, these phenomena can lead huge environmental and societal impacts, at scale potentially far greater than any events could have caused separately. Marginal dependence properties the forming CEs are key statistical char...

Under conditions of climate change, phenological studies vegetation are particular importance. Most the current research carried out in Protected Areas (PAs), network stations, agricultural lands, nurseries, and botanical gardens. Studies based on remote sensing data do not take into account species diversity cover. This study is aimed to determine regularities timing Bulbocodium versicolor mas...

Climate change is having many effects in the agricultural sector, which are being studied worldwide. Undoubtedly, warmer winters and earlier springs produce changes frost regimes severity that will affect sustainability of production area. The Mediterranean region Iberian Peninsula (IP) among areas where greatest impact climate expected. Daily data from 68 weather stations IP belonging to Europ...

Apple production in temperate regions is continuously imperiled by spring frosts. Economic losses caused frost damage can be enormous, and the risk of such projected to rise due global climate change. Induction bloom delay has been suggested as a potential avoidance strategy. However, applicable practices toward this goal are largely lacking, primarily complexity mechanisms governing dormancy b...
