As previously reported by Phil Gloudemans of University Communications on July 2024, a research on the impact of climate change on cranberry production was recently published in PLOS Climate.

The research was led by Dr. Tara Pisani Gareau, Dr. Lijing Gao and Dr. Brian Gareau of Boston College. The research found that Massachusetts cranberry farmers—despite expressing less alarm about global warming than average Americans—are nonetheless modifying their practices to adapt to changing environmental conditions, allowing their viny plants to endure for the forseeable future.
