Jan 27, 2022 · Climate change will bring more frequent and severe extreme weather events, including extreme precipitation, wind disturbance, heat waves, and drought. Extreme precipitation events can disturb plant growth, particularly in recently burned forests, and make plants more vulnerable to flooding and soils to erosion.
5 days ago · The Sun powers life on Earth; it helps keep the planet warm enough for us to survive. It also influences Earth’s climate: We know subtle changes in Earth’s orbit around the Sun are responsible for the comings and goings of the past ice ages. But the warming we’ve seen over the last few decades is too rapid to be linked to changes in Earth ...
Mar 10, 2020 · For plants, sunlight can be a double-edged sword. They need it to drive photosynthesis, the process that allows them to store solar energy as sugar molecules, but too much sun can dehydrate and damage their leaves. A primary strategy that plants use to protect themselves from this kind of photodamage is to dissipate the extra light as heat.
Jan 28, 2022 · When CO 2 levels rise, plants can maintain a high rate of photosynthesis and partially close their stomata, which can decrease a plant's water loss between 5 and 20 percent. Scientists have ...

Jan 1, 2022 · Earlier IPCC (2001) mentioned that climate change can reduce crop yields in tropical and subtropical regions due to temperature rise and heat stress, water scarcity, flooding and submergence, erratic rainfall, and drought. Further, IPCC (Settele et al., 2015) stated that climate change will strongly influence crop cycle and species’ interactions.
