Hello Makinde.

It is a good question. Actuelly exist several direct impact such as a decrease in crop production, fewer amount of water to disposition for plants, increase of the percentage of arid land, fewer rainfall, more temperature, more plant diseases, increase of the electric conductivity in soil, NDVI decrease, etc.

And in addition to my earlier reply, in some areas increased photo synthesis, frequent floods etc.,

In simple terms, impact of climate change is directly seen in the phenological cycles of various landcover classes.

Thank you Dr Patakamuri.

Thank you Dr. Emilio Ramirez-Juidias.

Because of the climate change the vegetation coverage will gradually change in terms of structure and content (species), and in some cases will be gradually degrading. At the same time, landscapes are in some cases strongly influenced by human activities. So, this double effect will increase the lost of the fragile land cover patters. Briefly, like this.

Please keep in mind that climate change is not always negative in all the areas. In some areas, rainfall is increasing and extreme temperatures are decreasing.

And try to identify whether your area is experiencing climate change or climate variability.

Observe climatological trends in the parameters to design the hypothesis.
