CLIMATE CHANGE: GROWTH AND PRODUCTION OF CHERRY - A REVIEW
MUHAMMAD SHAFIQ, MUHAMMAD ZAFAR IQBAL , MOHAMMAD ATHAR
Abstract:
The climate change issues are the utmost concern for humankind and decrease in plant production. Some scientific research work have documented the negative impact of climate change on human beings, flora, and fauna. The climate of Pakistan is also becoming more vulnerable due to an increase in sweet water scarcity, frequent heat waves, rise of sea level, which is threatening to the coastal environment issues. Climate change threatened the growth, development, and production of plant species. The changes in climatic conditions due to environmental degradation and industrial and urbanization activities decline the quality of fruit and yield of cherries around the world. Cherries are deciduous flowering fruit tree species and popular among consumers due to their sweetness, visual skin colour, flavor, biological, ecological, pharmaceutical potential, and many health benefits all around the world. In addition, the availability of main phenolic compounds in cherries helps with full responsibility in solving the health issues traditionally since ancient times. Cherries also have a key position in the economic market, both at the regional and international level. The presence of soluble sugar and organic compounds in sweet cherries demands that farmers increase their cultivable areas in different countries, including Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia, the Far East, and Pakistan. The review provide information about the role of climate change on cherry development and production, which was gathered from the articles published in various scientific journals through internet English databases, such as Liebertpub, CABI digital library, PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, covering a period from 1952 to 2024. This study may be promising for the farmers, plant ecologists, researchers, horticulturists, land managers, mass media, and NGOs working for the improvement of cherry growth and production under the current changing climatic conditions.
