Present and Future Olive Suitability in the Mediterranean

Climate change is expected to alter the environmental conditions governing agricultural production, requiring robust approaches to assess future crop suitability and production potential. This dataset presents the climate-driven shifts for olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivation across the Mediterranean Basin by integrating temperature, precipitation, soil, altitude and solar radiation requirements derived from the FAO EcoCrop database. Current and future climatic suitability were assessed under the CMIP6 SSP245 and SSP585 scenarios for three future periods (2041–2060, 2061–2080, and 2081–2100),气候变化预计将改变调控农业生产的环境条件，亟需采用稳健可靠的方法评估未来作物适宜性与生产潜力。本数据集整合了取自联合国粮食及农业组织（Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 简称FAO）EcoCrop数据库的温度、降水、土壤、海拔及太阳辐射适宜性要求，以此呈现地中海盆地范围内油橄榄（Olea europaea L.）种植受气候驱动的适宜性演变。研究基于耦合模式比较计划第六阶段（Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6, 简称CMIP6）下的共享社会经济路径（Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, 简称SSP）245与SSP585情景，针对三个未来时段（2041–2060年、2061–2080年、2081–2100年）评估了当前及未来的气候适宜性。
