Abstract

The olive crop is considered one of the crops most exposed to negative impacts as a result of climate change, such as increased rates of evaporation and water consumption due to high temperatures, which led to a decrease in agricultural productivity of the olive crop in Siwa Oasis. Therefore, the research aimed to identify the impact of the most important climate factors on olive productivity in Siwa Oasis, evaluate some agricultural practices for adapting to climate changes or reducing them for olive production in Siwa Oasis, and finally provide some recommendations for the necessary measures to reduce the negative effects of climate changes on olive productivity in Siwa Oasis. The research relied on descriptive and quantitative analysis methods and the use of some statistical methods such as simple and multiple regression equations. The research also relied on published and unpublished secondary data issued by the Directorate of Agriculture in Matrouh Governorate, the Central Laboratory for Agricultural Climate, and the Economic Affairs Sector of the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation.
