Abstract

Climate change is one of the world’s greatest challenges and creates effects on forest ecosystem. Forest ecosystems are sensitive to climate thus; climate change has significant effects on species distributions, the growth rate and structure of forests. Changes in climate are strongly affect forest ecosystem by altering the growth, mortality and reproduction of trees. Increasing temperatures changes the timing of life cycle events (phenology), with earlier bud burst, leafing and flowering in trees. This review focuses on the effect of climate change on forest ecosystems. Climate change alters and shifts forest ecosystems both directly and indirectly. Warming temperature directly affects rate of plant photosynthesis and respiration processes, also indirectly by increasing the risk of infestation.
