Abstract

Global climate change poses extraordinary challenges to ecosystems, profoundly affecting plant species and their functional traits. The chapter explores the dynamic relationships between crucial plant functional traits and various aspects of climate change, including temperature changes, rainfall patterns, and elevated atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Understanding the complex connection between plant functional traits and climate change becomes paramount for sustainable development as universal heat rises and climatic patterns change. This chapter also highlights the dynamic interactions between plant characteristics and the evolving climate while being true to the SDGs. We investigate how climate change affects the functional traits of plants, such as leaf morphology, photosynthetic efficiency, and reproductive strategies, and how these changes, in turn, affect ecosystems. Our investigation shows that climate-induced modifications in plant functional traits have far-reaching consequences for ecosystem structure and function. Changes in leaf morphology, photosynthesis rates, and reproductive strategies impact individual plant fitness, community structure, and overall ecosystem resilience. It is important to highlight the complex relationships between plant functional traits and climate change to predict the future of ecosystems. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms driving plant characteristic responses to changes in climate, further research directions shall focus on integrating observational and experimental approaches, considering both individual species and community-level dynamics. This synthesis contributes to the broader effort to develop effective strategies to mitigate and adapt to the ecological consequences of ongoing climate change.
