GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON CROP PRODUCTION
Keywords:
climate change, greenhouse gas, abiotic stresses, agricultureAbstract
Global food security and agricultural productivity are threatened by climate change. The temperature increases due to the greenhouse effect as greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere increase. Increased CO2 concentrations, which contribute substantially to greenhouse gas emissions, have enhanced plant growth and productivity due to improved photosynthesis. Conversely, elevated temperatures undermine this benefit through the subsequent consequences of disrupting crop maturation, accelerating vegetation migration, intensifying insect infestations, impeding crop respiration rate, and augmenting evapotranspiration. The quantity and activity of soil microorganisms and enzymes are both impacted by climate change. This review examines scientific publication data about climate change, encompassing its probable origins, immediate consequences, and agricultural ramifications arising from its impacts on plant metabolism and physiology. Additionally, the economic repercussions, known and potential impacts on insect infestation, agricultural output, and plant growth, and mitigation strategies are examined in this study.
