Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Climate change is a pressing global issue that has far-reaching implications for ecosystems and biodiversity. This thesis explores the effects of climate change on plant biodiversity in a specific region, aiming to understand how changing climatic conditions impact the composition, distribution, and abundance of plant species. Through a comprehensive literature review, field observations, and data analysis, this study investigates the response of plant communities to climate change drivers such as temperature increase, altered precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events. The research methodology employed a combination of field surveys, remote sensing techniques, and statistical analyses to assess changes in plant diversity and distribution over time. By examining historical data and conducting fieldwork in the study area, the study identified key plant species that are particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts. The results revealed shifts in species composition, phenology, and distribution patterns, indicating the ongoing effects of climate change on plant biodiversity. The discussion of findings delves into the complex interactions between climate change and plant communities, highlighting the importance of adaptive strategies and conservation efforts to mitigate the negative effects of environmental change. The study emphasizes the need for proactive measures to protect plant biodiversity, including habitat restoration, conservation planning, and community engagement. By understanding the specific responses of plant species to climate change in the study region, this research contributes valuable insights to inform future conservation strategies and policy decisions. In conclusion, this thesis underscores the urgent need to address the impacts of climate change on plant biodiversity, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecological systems and the importance of sustainable resource management practices. By enhancing our understanding of how plants respond to changing environmental conditions, we can better protect and preserve the diverse plant communities that are essential for ecosystem functioning and human well-being. This research serves as a foundation for further studies on the effects of climate change on plant biodiversity and provides a framework for developing effective conservation strategies in the face of ongoing environmental challenges.
