Abstract:
Climate change has been recognized as a significant challenge to natural ecosystems survival. Climate change is a complex, comprehensive system of climatic variations that influence the world's biological and ecological components. It causes changes in environmental factors such as heat waves, rainfall intensity, Carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature, resulting in the emergence of new weeds, pathogens, and pests. Climate change has an impact on the microbial population in soil, as well as their enzymatic activities. Plants are facing a unique combination of biotic and abiotic barriers because of climate change, environmental pollution, and global warming. While many is understood about how plants adapt to each of these distinct challenges. Only a few studies were conducted on how they response to a multifactorial stress combination, that arises when many of these stressed factors take place simultaneously. Recent research has found that expanding the number of cooccurring multifactorial stress factors diminishes plant survival and growth, and also the microbiome biodiversity that plants relied on. This consequence should serve as a frightening warning to our population, encouraging us to take immediate action to reduce pollution, reduce global warming, and improve crop resistance to multifactorial stress combinations.
