Biodiversity conservation to mitigate the impact of climate change on agro-ecosystems

Abstract

Biodiversity, or the diversity of living organisms on Earth, is an important indicator of the planet's health. Climate change mitigation requires preserving biodiversity levels and functional ecosystems; nevertheless, climate change is predicted to create major disturbances to the Earth's natural ecosystems, resulting in loss of biodiversity and a significant decrease in products and services offered to humanity. The present chapter deals with the impact of climate change that is severe to environmental issue that would jeopardize efforts to achieve long-term development and mitigation measures to reduce its impact on biodiversity changes. Furthermore, the impact of local and global species climate change has produced phenological changes in pollinators of flowering plants and insects, resulting in population mismatches, leading to plant and pollinator extinctions, with consequences for the structure of plant-pollinator networks. The loss of biodiversity and rising temperature can have an immediate impact on the water supply, food safety, soil nutrients, and human health. Conservation measure needs to be adopted, the land use pattern can be determined by remote sensing which is particularly valuable for detecting change due to the systematic coverage and lengthy time-series offered
