The impacts of climate change on ecosystems are profound and, if not mitigated, may pose a major threat to the environment. The challenges of climate change in South Africa have resulted in various adverse effects, such as heatwaves, droughts, ...
development and survival, such as solar radiation, temperature, precipitation and vapour pressure deficit have been observed in Southern Africa. While evidence of a strong relationship between tree growth and climate, particularly water availability and temperature, has been found in several ...
Climate change has a substantial impact on crop production, which poses risks to food security globally1. The Secretary-General of the United Nations has highlighted that Least Developed Countries are particularly vulnerable to these risks, especially given rising food and energy costs2. Despite techno...
Hailstorms are dangerous and costly phenomena that are expected to change in response to a warming climate. In this Review, we summarize current knowledge of climate change effects on hailstorms. As a result of anthropogenic warming, it is generally anticipated that low-level moisture and convectiv...
Agriculture, a cornerstone of human civilization, faces rising challenges from climate change, resource limitations, and stagnating yields. Precise crop production forecasts are crucial for shaping trade policies, development strategies, and humanitarian
Due to the effects of climate change, new species of birds are coming to the UK. A recent studyhas found that European birds have been migrating further north by an average of 300 miles.It's thought that the UK will gain many more species than it'll lose through climate change-a3℃ ch...
The report looked at three developing regions of the world—sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America. Climate migrants are people who are forced to move within their country because of water scarcity, crop failure, rising sea levels and storm surges due to climate change. ...
Great Savings on Dr Jon Lovett, who has been researching the impacts of climate change on Africa, says that we must learn from history and be prepared. "Events like this are going to become more common in the future, and we need to be ready for them" said Dr Jon Lovett. As the ...

As the climate changes, where plants grow best is predicted to shift. Crops that once thrived as a staple in one region may no longer be plentiful enough to feed a community that formerly depended on it. Beyond where plants grow, there's also the issue o
