Future work should consider replacing or supplementing annual mean temperature with growing degree days (GDDs) or extreme heat day indices to better represent the crop’s actual heat exposure during the physiologically critical growth stages. -driven forecasting: The sta- tistically significant lagged precipitation effect identified by the model suggests that intertemporal climate risks are real, even if the specific agronomic mechanisms remain to be confirmed.

Climate change is increasing the risk of late spring frosts, which damage flowers and developing fruitlets in tree crops. There is a need for effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on crop production.
