Abstract
This study looks at how the main phenological stages of Fuji apples (Malus domestica) are spread
out over time and space in China, with a focus on how environmental elements like temperature,
sunshine hours, and humidity affect them. The goal of the study is to find trends in the timing of
important growth stages in different apple-growing areas of China, such as bud break, flowering,
fruit set, and ripening. Data from many places over a number of years demonstrate that these
stages change a lot based on the climate in each place. In warmer places like the North China
Plain, phenological occurrences happen earlier. In cooler places like the Loess Plateau, they
happen later. The report also talks about how climate change is affecting us, especially the rising
temperatures and more extreme weather events that happen more often. These changes have
produced alterations in the timing of phenological events. For example, warmer spring
temperatures have prompted buds to break and flowers to bloom sooner, which may not be in
line with when pollinators are available. Also, warmer temperatures in the fall can speed up the
ripening of fruit, which could make it less tasty and less likely to sell. The correlation study
shows that temperature and sunlight have moderate effects on each other, both of which are
important for apple growth. The effect of humidity is less clear. We employed machine learning
methods like Random Forest and Support Vector Machines to guess when phenological stage...
