| Summary: | Abstract An overview of the impact of climate change on vegetation is presented in this paper. With the rapid development of industries and technologies around the world, the concentration of carbon dioxide and other contaminants in the atmosphere has increased significantly. CO2 is one of the main gases responsible for global warming. Data show the global mean temperature rose by 1.15 Celsius degree in 2019 compared with the period of pre-industrial average (1800-1900). Air warmed faster than sea water based on historical data. According to the existing reseach, the Northern Hemisphere is warming faster than the Southern Hemisphere, and the warming speed of the entire Arctic is the most in the world. As a result, vegetation has to adapt to the change in temperature by its phenology. Temperature stress, water stress, phenological changes, and changes in sunshine and light intensity are the main factors that impact distribution and combination of forests. |
