We know that climatic changes and global warming threaten our lives day after day. Global warming is destroying everything and also is altering the climate around us causing much damage. We humans depend on plants to survive and it is important to observe how these changes can damage them.
Climate change is having an impact on many of the plants, causing some to adapt, conform or even disappear completely. These are the most that are affected because can not move in the same way that animals. These climate changes gives to the plants growth and development an environment of instability. They are directly dependent on climate, because they live on account of the photosynthetic activity of light, availability of CO2 and water. The plants require specific conditions to grow and develop properly but if the place where they are, not meet their needs, can cause them great harm. Excessive rainfall due to storms and hurricanes, times of low temperatures or drought, the global warming caused by the same human beings, among other factors, are some of the changes that may directly affect the growing plants. For example, soil type also impacts the types of plants that grow. If the ground is dusty and dry, surely will have a particular type of plants and it is quite possible that only develops vegetation during some months of the year. If, however, the soil is rich and fertile, their will be differents species in most of the year. Some examples of the problems that cause climate change are declining areas for cultivation, unexpected periods of sowing and reaping, changes in productivity, among others.
On the other hand, global warming has increased over time so it can be a great threat to all life on earth. This increase in temperature is a big danger to plants because it can cause great times of drought and therefore can dehydrate over time. If no water, there will be no plant growth, although there is much CO2 (carbon dioxide), natural nutrients, minerals and good temperatures. If no water, the plants do not grow. The CO2 production helps to improve, but water affects plant growth completely. The global warming causes deserts expand with time. Plants also change to adapt to different conditions and, therefore, exists the possibility that some plant species develop deep roots and small leaves that can store water to live in extreme arid conditions such as cacti. Moreover, this increase in temperature affects the seasons and, therefore, affects vegetation.
To conclude, I am not a botanist but I have a good knowledge about plants. We do not have to know a lot about plants to know their importance. I know there are more harmful effects on plants than those mentioned. We have to become aware and start creating new measures to protect nature. The climate changes and the global warming are continuously increasing and we must be prepared. Let's cooperate with taking care of the environment.
