Read this article to learn about the impact of global warming on ecosystem. A warmer global climate could have a number of possible effects. One of the changes is food production, which could increase in some areas and drop in others. Archaeological evidence and computer models indicate that, in the worst case, climate belts would shift northward by 100-150 Kms [...]

Contribution of Greenhouse Gases to Global Warming: The gases in the atmosphere that act like glass in a greenhouse are called greenhouse gases. These are as follows: 1. Carbon dioxide (causes 9—26%) 2. Water vapour (causes about 36 - [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the effects of global warming on plants. Some of the greenhouse gases like tropospheric CO2 have direct effects on vegetation while CFCs indirectly affect plant growth by enhancing the flux of UV-B radiation. Others, such as CH4 and N2O, appear to have no direct effects on plants, although they form significant microbial [...]
