Abstract
Climate change, driven by shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns, poses a significant threat to global biodiversity. As ecosystems respond to these changes, species that are unable to adapt may face increased risks of extinction, altered distribution, and disrupted ecological relationships. This study examines how temperature and precipitation variations influence biodiversity across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Utilizing global datasets and climate models, the research highlights the effects of altered climatic conditions on species' habitats, reproduction cycles, and migration patterns. Results indicate that both temperature rise and changing precipitation regimes are already altering biodiversity, with particularly significant effects observed in species with narrow ecological tolerances. The findings underscore the urgent need for adaptive conservation strategies that take into account predicted climatic changes. The study calls for enhanced monitoring systems and proactive measures to preserve biodiversity under shifting environmental conditions.
