Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Simulated increasing air temperature and CO2 concentration had a positive effect on tomato fruit growth.
- Intervention effect Simulated increasing air temperature and CO2 concentration had no effect on tomato fruit sugar concentrations.
- Intervention effect In the context of climate change, decreasing N by 15%–25% and irrigation by 10%–20% relative to current levels is projected to increase tomato fresh weight by 27.8%–36.4%.
- Intervention effect The same reduced N and irrigation scenario is projected to increase tomato soluble sugar concentration by up to 10%.
