Abstract

Climate refers to the mean weather conditions in a certain region, impacting every aspect of the environment. Urbanisation and industrialization are causing woods to be cleared for living communities. The equilibrium of the ecosystem is upset by this shift, affecting producers, consumers, and decomposers. Plants, or producers, are an important component of the ecosystem because they supply energy. Plant sustainability and production are impacted by this change. A staple grain, wheat is greatly impacted by both temperature and CO2 levels. In addition to decreasing wheat productivity, it also increases wheat's susceptibility to many illnesses. Elevated temperatures result in increased transpiration, which in turn triggers drought, which in turn causes reduced production. According to predictions, in the next 20 to 30 years, a 2° C temperature shift might result in a serious water crisis. A scarcity of water during the grain filling and milking stages can impact production. This article covers the following topics: climate-related variables, effects on wheat production and growth, influence on disease severity, temperature increase prediction model, and CO2 curve in 2050.
