- How climate change will affect the distribution of species
- They'll probably change
- Balance between species in the community shifts
- Increased competition with existing/involving species
- May migrate to more favourable conditions IF mobile/have good seed dispersal
- Pests & diseases may spread to new areas
- Crop yield reduced
- Higher temperatures earlier in the year could extend the growing season
- Invasion of 'alien species'
- Changing intensity of rainfall will affect plant distribution
- Plant yields
- Higher due to increasedrate of photosynthesis
- Limit to temperature tolerance
- Decline in plant yields due to a lack of soil moisture
- Limit to temperature tolerance
- Higher due to increasedrate of photosynthesis
- Temperature= Environmental cue for animals
- Change in spawning, egg laying, hatching and growth rates
