Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Climate change is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, with far-reaching implications for biodiversity and ecosystems around the world. This thesis investigates the effects of climate change on plant biodiversity in a specific region, aiming to provide valuable insights into the impacts of changing climatic conditions on plant communities. The study focuses on assessing the response of plant species to various climatic factors, such as temperature changes, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events. The research methodology employed a combination of field surveys, data analysis, and modeling techniques to examine the current status of plant biodiversity in the study area and project future trends under different climate change scenarios. The findings reveal significant shifts in plant species composition and distribution, with certain species showing signs of decline or migration in response to changing environmental conditions. The discussion of findings delves into the ecological implications of these changes, highlighting the potential loss of plant diversity, disruption of ecosystem services, and altered interactions within plant communities. The study also explores the adaptive capacity of plants to cope with changing climates, emphasizing the importance of conservation efforts and adaptive management strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on plant biodiversity. In conclusion, this thesis underscores the urgent need for proactive measures to address the challenges posed by climate change to plant biodiversity. By enhancing our understanding of the complex interactions between climate and plant communities, we can develop more effective strategies for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience in the face of ongoing environmental changes. The insights gained from this study contribute to the broader scientific discourse on climate change impacts and inform evidence-based decision-making for sustainable environmental management practices.
