Climate change is wreaking havoc with Maine\u2019s world famous wild blueberries, and could imperil future crops of one of the state\u2019s most important exports, scientists say.<\/p>\n

Rising temperatures in blueberry fields across the state have brought on a loss of water, scientists at the University of Maine said. They analyzed 40 years worth of data which indicates that while the state experienced a rise in temperature of 1.98 degrees Fahrenheit, the blueberry fields experienced a 2.3 Fahrenheit rise, according to The Associated Press. <\/a><\/p>\n

Although the difference in temperature seems low, scientists say that the rising temperatures are likely to lead to a shortage of water in the fields, which could contribute to smaller crop sizes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we are expecting is the temperature is going to increase a lot and we will not get as much rainfall in the summertime especially,\u201d said Rafa Tasnim, a doctoral candidate in ecology, who headed up the team that published their findings in the journal Water. <\/a>\u201cWhat that will mean for the wild blueberry plants is they will be water stressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maine is the largest producer of wild blueberries in the US. Last year, farmers produced 47.4 million pounds of wild blueberries, the lowest number since 2004. <\/p><\/div>\n
