A Review on the Effect of Global Climate Change on Biodiversity

P. Vijaya ^[9] | S. Uma Rani | B. Rajeswari ^[2]

Abstract: The maximum of Plants and animals lived in specific climatic conditions, such as temperature and rainfall patterns. Initially, the increasing of Global warming and as well as slowly increasing of temperature, affecting the water cycle. If water gets affected by these causes, obviously severe changes will come to food and agricultural process of the biodiversity. Because, except plant and plankton most of the animal dependent on other animals for their food consumption. Some species are already responds to balmy climate, thats why they were moved to cooler locations. Not only this climate change affects the marine environment, but also including increasing seawater temperatures, ocean acidification, Green house gases, sea level rise, and changes in currents, upwelling and weather patterns, fundamental changes. This impact may not be clear evident, but with in short time we can see that effects in future. Each one plant and animal performance a vital role in the ecosystem (For example as food source, a prey, predator, a pollinator, a source of shelter), uncertainly the loss of one species can affect the countless. Some types of birds are already migrating as the temperature warms. Here, we outline the importance of Biodiversity in the environment and also their affected by this global climate change.
