the impact of climate change on biodiversity: Climate change is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Researchers in this area study how changing environmental conditions, such as temperature, precipitation, and sea level rise, are affecting the distribution, abundance, and survival of plant and animal species. They also investigate the potential for species to adapt or evolve in response to these changes, as well as the impact of climate change on ecosystems and food webs. Understanding these impacts is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies to protect biodiversity in the face of a rapidly changing climate.
