Influence des conditions climatiques sur l’évol ution de la culture de l’olivier de la région de Ain Tém ouchent

Abstract

This researchfocuses on studying the impact of climatic conditions on the development of olive cultivation in the Wilaya of AïnTémouchentbetween 2010 and 2021. The olive treeis one of the most important fruit trees in Mediterraneanregions due to itsability to resistdrought and adapt to harshclimatic conditions. However, recentclimate changes — particularlyrisingtemperatures and decreasingrainfall — have significantly affected olive production. This studyisbased on the analysis of climatic data (temperature and rainfall) and olive production statistics over an eleven-yearperiod to evaluate the relationshipbetweenclimatevariability and olive yield. It also examines the evolution of cultivated areas and the irrigation techniques used in the region. The results show thatreducedprecipitation and increasedtemperatureshad a negative impact on production, highlighting the need for alternative solutions such as improvedsupplementary irrigation and the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices to preservethisstrategiccrop.
