Climate change and Soil Fertility: An issue of Food security Concern

Abstract

Due to the rising concentration of greenhouse gases and changing precipitation patterns, the global mean temperature has increased by roughly 1.1°C since the preindustrial era. By the end of the 21st century, this increase could exceed 4°C. Water resources, agriculture, plant and animal life, and biodiversity are just a few of the areas where global warming may have unfavourable effects. Global climate change is predicted to have a potential impact on soil fertility through the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil due to rise in temperature, alteration in precipitation pattern, increase in green house gas concentration in the atmosphere, and other factors because soils are related to climate system in a very complex way through nutrient and hydrologic cycles.
