The impact of climate changes on the environment and, implicitly, on the fruit tree agro ecosystem is a complex topic. The aim of POMOSAT project is to investigate the potential impact of climate changes on fruit tree species development and growth, and the impact of the diseases and pests affecting these cultures, using regional climate numeric models, impact models and satellite monitoring techniques. Creating a complex database of climate records, satellite images, field and laboratory observations and measurements, it can be developed a sustainable fruit farm management system. The main objectives of the project are related to mapping the studied fruit tree agro-systems, using satellite techniques; to create a space database (GIS) for the studied zones; to characterize the test zone climate evolution, using agricultural climate factor types specific to fruit trees; to analyze the fruit tree plantations vegetation status, using conventional methods and satellite techniques; to monitor the pathogenic agents and populations of useful organisms within the studied fruit tree zones; to predict the potential impact of climate changes upon fruit tree plantations by numeric simulations; to establish a model between climate evolution and sustainable fruit farm management; to create an interactive system for the management and distribution of scientific and decision-making data to final users.
