Due to climate change, the frequency of extreme weather events has increased and become more severe year by year in Taiwan. In recent years, the growth of mangoes has been affected by extreme weather event which has led to a decline in production and a sharp increase in prices. This study aims to discuss the impact of climate change on Taiwan's main mango variety, Irwin mango. During the flowering period, temperatures above 25°C or below 15°C delay the mango flower spikes and cause mango production to fail. In this study, rainfall and temperature are analyzed, combined with crop data to determine the threshold of disaster, for estimating the impact of future mango production. First, this study uses the statistical downscaling method of Taiwan's 1km resolution grid daily data from Taiwan Climate Change Projection and Information Platform (TCCIP) to analyze the historical weather from 1997 to 2019. Then, this study takes Irwin mangoes growing temperature from 15 to 25 degrees as the suitable temperature standard in order to establish the average-temperature-opportune indicator in the past. Besides, the daily high and low temperatures are used to build high-temperature and low-temperature adversity indicators. At last, this study combines the three indicators with mango production data to build a statistical model on the impact of environmental factors on future estimation. The impact of extreme weather can cause disasters, leading to widespread losses, and affecting the public or society. The estimation of future climate is inherently uncertain. Through disaster risk management and adaption, the mango production impacts can be mitigated, and reduce the exposure and vulnerability to climate change as well. In this study, a risk assessment matrix is based on the estimated rate of change in mango production under different scenarios. This matrix is from the perspective of resilient agriculture, assisting farmers in pre-disaster prevention and mitigate the impact of extreme weather. |
