Zhejiang Province is an important citrus-producing region in China, where diverse climatic, soil, and topographic conditions strongly influence citrus growth and fruit quality. This study systematically analyzes the environmental adaptability of citrus orchards and the resulting changes in fruit quality under different ecological and cultivation conditions. The effects of temperature, precipitation, light, soil water availability, and nutrient status on citrus growth, physiological responses, fruit development, and quality formation are examined. Particular attention is given to the relationships between environmental factors and soluble solids, sugar-acid ratio, vitamin C, fruit appearance, and texture. A case study of a typical citrus orchard is further used to assess environmental responses and identify key factors driving quality variation. Based on these relationships, an environmental adaptability evaluation framework is proposed, together with integrated water and fertilizer management, microclimate regulation, and climate-adaptive cultivation strategies. The study provides a theoretical basis for improving citrus fruit quality, optimizing orchard management, and promoting climate-resilient and sustainable citrus production in Zhejiang Province.
