Phenological Mismatch and Climate Volatility
Definition
A model explaining that the challenge for fruit trees in a warming, erratic climate is not steady warming but unpredictable temperature swings: warm spells trigger early flowering, but subsequent frosts kill the blossoms, causing complete crop failure. This creates a mismatch between the tree's developmental signals (which trigger flowering) and actual seasonal conditions.
