FOCUS ON BOTH "ECOLOGY" AND "BOTANY"

Description
This thesis investigates the impacts of global climate change on the biodiversity of unique ecosystems, with a dual focus on ecological and botanical perspectives. Given the urgent need for strategies to conserve biodiversity amidst rapidly changing climatic conditions, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of how unique ecosystems worldwide are responding to climate change and identifies effective conservation practices to mitigate adverse effects. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis from remote sensing and ecological surveys with qualitative insights from stakeholder interviews across three distinct ecosystems: tropical rainforests, alpine regions, and wetlands. Key findings reveal that climate change significantly affects the phenology, distribution, and population dynamics of several endemic species within these ecosystems. Notably, shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns have led to altered flowering times in plant species and migration patterns in animal species, thereby disrupting traditional ecological networks.
