Table 2 Primary inclusion and exclusion criteria based on title and abstract
Criteria | Inclusion | Exclusion |
|---|---|---|
Population | All temperate perennial fruit trees of commercial interest (Apple, Pear, Sweet cherry, Peach, Nectarine, Plum, Apricot, Avocado, Lemon, Orange, Grapefruit, Mandarin, Pomelo, Grapevine) | Low-height shrubs Berry plants Other non-fruit horticulture Other non-temperate horticulture |
Interventions | Physical on-site treatments or devices that can be applied in anticipation, during or just after a frost event, like wind machines, sprinklers, foliar applications of chemicals, coverages, modified pruning | Management choices like income or crop diversification Crop breeding Genetic modifications Financial insurances |
Outcome | Measures of ambient temperature Measures of damage to flowers, buds or fruitlets Measures of production Advance/delay of phenological stages | Evolution of frost hazards or vulnerability through time and space Evidence on post-harvest conditions Change in cold hardiness during dormancy |
Comparators | Investigations of effectiveness against a control population or variants of the same treatment/device | Lack of comparators or other measures of success Model vs observation |
Climate zones | Temperate Mediterranean | Tropical Subtropical Cold climates |
Language | English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish | Any other language |
Type of publication | Peer-reviewed journal Organisational report Professional journal article Thesis | Web page/Blog Unpublished communication |
Type of study | Field experiment Greenhouse experiment Laboratory experiment | Literature review Mathematical model Risk assessment studies Micro meteorological studies to explore the potential for an intervention to function without observations of the intervention itself (i.e., Inversion strength characterisations) |
