Abstract
An attempt has been made in previous chapters to describe the impact of an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration on vegetation growth. The climate change effect is expected to bring some complex secondary changes in a series of environmental factors, and these changes may play a significant role in biomass production as well as in maintaining genetic diversity. Climatic change would influence biodiversity in two main ways:
-
First, through changes in habitats associated with changes in land use and in fire regimes
-
Second, through direct effect on the species concerned, that is, the ecological range of different species may change
