Influence of Climate Change on Plant Biodiversity and Agriculture: A Review from a Sub-Tropical Perspective
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
Climate change is a very severe problem, in particular for plant biodiversity. Climate change refers to an important change in worldwide temperature, precipitation, and wind patterns that occurs due to human activities, especially in recent decades. Biodiversity is threatened by climatic patterns due to changes in the ecosystem. Biological diversity is home to many living things. Biodiversity is classified into three levels, such as genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. The several usages of biodiversity comprise consumptive use (75%), productive use, social value, aesthetic value, ecosystem service value, scientific value, and evolutionary value. Several dangers influence biodiversity, and land use plays a major role. Afghanistan is retrieving population data, estimated to be 42.239 million people, and has yearly 2.6% growth. Subtropical countries such as Afghanistan are the most vulnerable to climate change because they are characterized by terrible droughts, repeated floods, water deficiencies, and an overall undesirable environmental sustainability balance. That it’s important to study about the influence of climate change on plant biodiversity, an instance particularly of Afghanistan, and to declare the problems for future mitigation and to create better reservations and cures by best of suggestions techniques.
