Impact OfClimate ChangeOnForest Ecosystems

Abstract


In emissions of the greenhouse gases such as attherateof 50%inCO2, methane, various carbon compounds that occur human-inducedfactors such as agricultural and industrialactivities and the consumptionof fossil fuels and occur with natural processes such as sun spotsandthe resultingexplosionsin the sun observeda significant increase. Until now the observedincreases inglobalaverage air and oceantemperature zones, a commonwayto acceleratethe melting ofsnowand glaciers and rising events of sea level are a clearproof thatthe climate systemiswarming up. In different geographical regions, these changes in climate is more affective on ecosystems and biological diversity that components of their. Studies show that climate change affects the compositionand function offorests. By 2050, it is predict that climate change will shift in speciescomposition in one third of forest in the world. Plant growthconditions are directly related temperature, precipitation, and the concentration ofCO2 in the atmosphere. Theresponses ofspeciesto changes inclimate realizedin different ways, while some species tend togrowmore easily at temperature, some species reactnegatively. In this study,the positive and negativeeffectsof climate changeonforests have researched and put forward what kind of effects on species in forest structure.
