Potential for adaptation in Mediterranean croplands under climate change
Listed in IISH Dataverse
The Mediterranean Basin has been identified as a global climate change hotspot due to projected above-average increases in warming and drying.
Description
Increasing scientific attention has therefore been drawn to the repercussions of climate change for the Mediterranean’s diverse and valued agricultural sector. The extent to which these repercussions vary throughout the region, owing to uneven adaptive capacities of farmers, remains however unquantified.
We hereby present the results of a mapping study illustrating the potential to implement farm-level adaptations to increased drought and heat stress across Mediterranean croplands. The selected adaptations addressed the potential to implement (1) irrigation expansion in rain-fed areas, (2) drip irrigation within irrigated areas, (3-4) crop and crop variety changes, and the implementation of (5) reduced tillage and (6) conservation agriculture.

The potentials are shown in a dimensionless index (between 1-10, indicating low to high suitability respectively), based on spatial proxies for the socio-economic and biophysical determinants of each adaptation, identified by reviewing scientific literature from the region. In combination with information on changing average climatic conditions, alongside frequency and duration of climatic extremes, these maps enable an exploration on the extent to which adaptation potentials align with adaptation needs under a changing climate.
