Forecasting the Influence of Climate Change on Agroecosystem Services: Potential Impacts on Honey Yields in a Small-Island Developing State

Table 3

Predicted honey yields and areal extents of suitable honey production areas (honey yields ≥ 5.3 L/colony). Under each model the future climate change scenarios are based on (A) Neelin et al. [31], which follows the A2 scenario, and (B) Angeles et al. [32], the IS92 business as usual scenario.
