Project Abstract

Abstract
Climate change is a significant environmental challenge that is affecting ecosystems worldwide, including the distribution of plant species. This research project aims to investigate the impact of climate change on plant species distribution in a specific region. The study focuses on understanding how changing climatic conditions influence the distribution patterns of plant species and the potential implications for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem functioning.
