Climate change's consequences include increased temperature and precipitation, high salinity, and intense climate conditions such as hurricanes, cyclones, and droughts, all of which have a significant negative impact on habitats and on the structure and functioning of the environment and ecosystems. Investigating the impact of climate change on biodiversity is difficult because changes occur steadily over time and the consequences are interactive with other environmental problems. In the previous two decades, there has been an increase in the number of endangered species, including plants, fish, amphibians, molluscs, birds, mammals, insects, and reptiles, among many other species. This chapter's major goal is to focus on biodiversity and the impact of global warming and climate change on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, as well as on the agriculture and human existence. Furthermore, numerous tools and methods for analysing the effects of climate change using diverse techniques, as well as potential mitigation measures for conserving biodiversity from climate change's consequences, have","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122965952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted a field study in 10 community forests using phytosociological approaches. Quantitative data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, while the differences between mean was checked by LSD at p < 0.05 using SPSS software. Results indicated that, out of 10 surveyed community forests, 4 were highly threatened (40 %), 5 were highly disturbed (51 %), while 1 (9 %) was converted to other land use. A total of 66 plant species belonging to 54 genera and 27 families were recorded. Biomass production varied significantly between plants (p < 0.001). Lack of environmental education and anthropogenic activities pose a great challenge among community forests. Therefore, appropriate management interventions are highly required to rectify the situation for the sustainability of these forests.","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133651563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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","PeriodicalId":190312,"journal":{"name":"Biological Diversity: Current Status and Conservation Policies","volume":"690 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134097873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
