Future climate scenarios suggest that shifts in temperature and precipitation could significantly influence camelina yields. 🌏 The study identified new potential cultivation areas, including eastern Europe, China, eastern Russia, Australia, and New Zealand, offering insights into its global production potential. 👫 The authors: Ross M.
