Climate change threatens soil fertility and biodiversity, impacting food production worldwide.
Climate change can alter soil properties and composition, affecting soil fertility and life forms. Changes in temperature, precipitation, and moisture levels directly impact soil characteristics. Indirectly, nutrient cycling, erosion rates, and crop cultivation are influenced. Soil organic carbon levels are crucial, as they are affected by climate conditions and impact soil fertility. The structure, texture, stability, and nutrient availability of soil are key factors in soil management. Climate-induced soil fertility decline can harm soil life forms like plants and animals by affecting soil nutrition.
