Project Abstract

Abstract
Climate change poses a significant threat to global ecosystems, impacting the distribution and diversity of plant species worldwide. This research project aims to investigate the effects of climate change on plant species distribution and diversity, focusing on understanding the underlying mechanisms and implications for ecosystem functioning. Through a comprehensive literature review and field research, this study examines how changing climatic conditions influence the range shifts and abundance of plant species, as well as their interactions with other biotic and abiotic factors. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, discussing the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of key terms. Chapter Two presents a detailed literature review covering ten key aspects related to climate change impacts on plant species distribution and diversity, synthesizing existing knowledge and identifying gaps in current research. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including study design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, and data analysis procedures. The chapter also discusses the selection of study sites, variables measured, and statistical analyses employed to investigate the research questions. Chapter Four presents the findings of the study, analyzing the effects of climate change on plant species distribution and diversity based on the collected data and observations. The chapter includes a detailed discussion of the results, highlighting patterns, trends, and relationships between climatic variables and plant species responses. Chapter Five concludes the research project, summarizing the key findings, implications, and recommendations for future research and conservation efforts. The conclusion also discusses the broader implications of climate change on plant species distribution and diversity, emphasizing the urgent need for adaptive management strategies and policy interventions to mitigate the impacts of climate change on ecosystems. Overall, this research contributes to our understanding of the complex interactions between climate change and plant species, providing valuable insights for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience in the face of environmental challenges.
