Evolutionary Responses of Tropical Plants to Changing Climate

Résumé fourni par la source

Every ecosystem on earth is influenced by climate change, which poses new challenges for plants comprising multifarious combinations of ecological factors with which plants should regulate and familiarize themselves. However, climate change is universal in scope, and numerous studies regarding the biotic influences of climate change have been attentive to polar areas. Tropical plants have discrete life antiquities, physiologies, and environmental communities amassed contrarily across latitudes. Thus, tropical species and communities may reveal various adaptation to climate change. This chapter summarizes the current state of knowledge on trophic interaction, thermal interaction, plant–herbivore interaction, co-evolutionary responses, and host–pathogen interaction impacts of climate change in tropical areas and discusses research primacies for improved understanding of the ways in which species are responding to climate change in the most biodiverse places on earth.
