How Does Climate Change Affect Plants? Historical climate change has had a profound effect on current biogeography‚ so we can expect our ongoing and rapid climate change‚ to have as great an effect. Climate change has important implications for nearly every aspect of life on Earth‚ and effects are already being felt. * Temperatureeffects–average‚ minimum or maximum can be important determinants of plant distribution For example the Palmae/Arecaceae are cold intolerant as their single meristem

Climate Change is a worldwide phenomenon which affects the regular conditions of the environment. Historically‚ there have been several conventions‚ like the Kyoto protocol‚ in order to address this problem.

Climate Change “Climate change is a change in the statistical properties of the climate system when considered over long periods of time‚ regardless of cause.” Global climate change is the changes in the seasonal patterns‚ weather systems and temperature of the planet over a long period of time. Climate patterns can influence natural ecosystems‚ dependency of cultures and global economy. The phrase “regardless of the cause” states that climate change can be induced by human activity as well as natural

Natural Causes of Climate Change The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions‚ ocean current‚ the earth’s orbital changes and solar variations. Volcanic Eruptions When a volcano erupts it throws out large volumes of sulphur dioxide (SO2)‚ water vapour‚ dust‚ and ash into the atmosphere. Large volumes of gases and ash can influence climatic patterns for years by increasing planetary reflectivity causing atmospheric cooling. Tiny particles called aerosols
