MAASMECHELEN, Belgium, Sept 24 (Reuters) - In the Belgian province of Limburg, one of the orchards in the country's pear-growing heartland stands out as unusual: a cluster of 12 transparent domes, perched high by a mirrored wall above the surrounding nature park. Inside the domes, researchers are growing pears in a controlled environment that simulates how climate change will affect the region in 2040. Their aim is to see what global warming has in store for Europe's fruit growers.
