Scenario of changes of the vegetation period and active temperatures in eastern Georgia under global warming

Abstract

Forecasts of the duration of the vegetation period (days) and the sum of active temperatures (>10°C) under global warming conditions significantly determine the growth and development of crops and their productivity. For each municipality of the regions of Eastern Georgia, a future scenario of the duration of the vegetation period (days) and the sum of active temperatures (>10°C) has been compiled, with the corresponding forecast regression equations, when the temperature increases by 2°C (2020-2049). With the above equations, the duration of the vegetation period and active temperatures for the future are determined by the municipalities.
