Forests vanishing as climate change ravages ecosystems worldwide
Climate change significantly affects forests by altering their productivity and overall health. The relationship between climate and forests is essential. Changes in climate can directly and indirectly impact forests worldwide, leading to longer growing seasons, shifts in insect species, and forest loss. These effects on forests are both influenced by and contributors to climate change. These changes can also influence the composition and dynamics of entire forest ecosystems. One effective way to combat climate change is through the preservation and restoration of forests. Initiatives like the UN convention on climate change, the Kyoto Protocol, and national and state action plans address the impact of climate change on forests and suggest ways to mitigate these effects.
