Which one gas is most abundant out of the four commonest greenhouse gases? Discuss the effect of this gas on the growth of plants?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`CO_(2)` (Carbon dioxide) is the most abundant among green house gases.
Effects on plants:
(i) Low agricultural productivity in tropics.
(ii) Frequent heat waves (Weeds, pests, fungi need warmer temperature).
(iii) Increase of vectors and epidemics.
(iv) Strong storms and intense flood damage.
(v)Water crisis and decreased irrigation.
(vi) Change in flowering seasons and pollinators.
(vii)Change in species distributional ranges
(viii) Species extinction
