Midday shading alleviates thermal stress but has contrasting agronomic effects across medicinal and aromatic plants
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heatwaves and droughts, threatening medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) production. Temporary shading during the hottest part of the day may reduce heat and radiative stress while limiting the reduction in light availability. We evaluated this strategy in a field experiment using three MAP species with contrasting ecological requirements…
