How does climate change affect global forests?

Question

Violet Adams · Accepted Answer

Climate change will have a great impact on global forests, but it is dependent on what the climate change is.

Climate change denotes modifications to the climate; it is distinct from global warming. Furthermore, there will be variations in climate change across the globe. Global forests will benefit from an extended frost-free season if the change is warming, and the number of coniferous forests will generally decline as deciduous trees outcompete them. The opposite happens if the change is cooling. The forest will gain from a change in climate if there is an increase in rainfall, and it will suffer from a drier climate. I believe asking a slightly more focused question would enable me to provide you with the information you seek.

undefined Climate change can impact global forests by altering temperature and precipitation patterns, leading to shifts in ecosystems, changes in species distribution, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and the proliferation of pests and diseases. Additionally, rising temperatures contribute to forest degradation and increased risk of wildfires.
