OCTOBER 21, 2024
By 2050, projected atmospheric carbon dioxide levels could nearly double, causing a 4.4°C temperature increase by the end of the century. Our study projected over 53% of Türkiye's Aegean olive-growing regions may become unsuitable for cultivation. Using GIS and ArcGIS Living Atlas Layers, we can identify vulnerable areas in future conditions and assess climate change impacts on Türkiye's significant olive production for conservation and land management.
