Global Aspects of Plant Ecology

The plant ecological aspects of global change may be formulated as-

• The interaction between climate and land ecosystems, the effects on terrestrial ecosystems of changes in climate and land use, the effects on the climate of feedback reactions resulting from changes in terrestrial ecosystem.
• Considering these aspects, plant ecology is part of other scientific subjects areas particularly geo-ecology which considers anthropogenic pollutants, in addition to natural material changes.
• Also, biogeochemistry examines material cycles between, atmosphere, air or land. These global material cycles are regulated by organisms particularly with respect to changes at boundary layer between atmosphere and land.

Plant ecology deals with the scientific relationship of plants with their environment. In other words, in plant ecology, we study the interaction of plants with the biotic and abiotic factors of the environment. The biotic factors are the living things (organisms) that are associated with plants and the abiotic factors are non-living things (like temperature, water, light, air, gases), etc. Photosynthesis, a chemical process that sustains plant life, is a key feature of plant ecology. The environmental conditions and a plant’s interaction with the environment influence “fitness,” or the ability to flourish.
