Effect of Global Warming on Plants

As we all know about "global warming", namely the process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, ocean, and land earth. a widespread impact which is characterized by increasing temperature of the earth permanently. There are two main causes of global warming presented by the researchers that as a result of changes in the Earth's surface and as a result of the greenhouse effect (Green House Effect).
Plants to be living it difficult to escape from the effects of warming because most of the land has been controlled by humans.
Plants will change the direction of growth, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm.
Trees and other plants help keep the planet cool, but rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are turning into a global air conditioning. in some areas more than a quarter of the warming from carbon dioxide increases due to a direct impact on vegetation.
Plants to be living it difficult to escape from the effects of warming because most of the land has been controlled by humans. Plants will change the direction of growth, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm. However, human development will prevent this movement.
Leaf color change
Leaf color change due to the influence of weather changes. In the summer, we can only see the effects of chlorophyll, but when the weather turned colder foods that have been stored in the leaves started coming out of the branches of a tree trunk. Since there is no more food can be produced cold season, the plant food in the chlorophyll a closed and destroyed. When chlorophyll disappears, other pigments that remained became invisible. In fact the leaves are more colorful, but we can not see clearly ith. Pigments 'santofil' can cause a yellow color in the leaves, 'carotene' led orange and 'anthocyanin'.
as an energy source, each plant requires a temperature and sunlight for photosynthesis process, but the optimal temperature, high temperatures will cause the plant burned / charred and charred dry or death.
Another impact of global warming (global warming) that could result in a ledakanevolusi. With the increase in temperature, the process of maturation and maturation will be faster than normal conditions. Self-awareness on the environment, to the earth that it is a long-term investment against future children and grandchildren need to be developed. Remember the earth does not belong only to us today, but he will continue to be a place of living of mankind until the end comes. So it is conceivable that the population explosion will occur more rapidly than normal conditions.
