Overview

Analysis predicts climate change impacts on olive cultivation in Extremadura, suggesting adaptation strategies are needed.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the impact of climate change on olive cultivation in Extremadura using bioclimatic indices.
  • Calculated Dryness Index (DI) and Cool Night Index (CI) for three future periods.
  • Projected ten combinations of climate models using RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios.
  • Analyzed variations in bioclimatic indices and their implications for water stress and temperatures.
  • Most of Extremadura will remain suitable for olive cultivation from 2006–2035.
  • By 2036–2065, 67% of the area will be temperate, affecting 72% of olive groves.
  • By 2066–2095, the area will shift to 60-34% warm and very dry, with a Dryness Index of 72%.
