Climate Change Impacts on Wetland Ecosystems and Migratory Water bird Populations in Rajasthan, India: A 25-Year Analysis
Abstract: Climate change threatens the survival of wetland ecosystems in semi-arid areas, which has a ripple effect on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and the fauna that depends on them. This research investigates the effects of climate change on six significant wetlands in Rajasthan, India, over a 25-year timeframe (2000-2025), evaluating temperature trends, precipitation patterns, water bird population dynamics, plant responses, and wetland resilience. The results show that the mean temperature rose by a lot (1.5-1.9°C) and the summer peak temperature rose by a lot (2.7-3.4°C) at all locations. This caused the evaporation rate to rise by 24-38% and the water level to fall by an average of 38%. Annual precipitation dropped considerably by 10.6% (p
