Biotic response to climate change

Biotic response to climate change refers to how living organisms, including plants, animals, and ecosystems, react to shifts in climate patterns. As temperatures rise and weather patterns change, species may alter their behavior, reproduction, and migration. Some may adapt, while others might struggle to survive, leading to shifts in population dynamics and biodiversity. For instance, some birds may migrate earlier in spring due to warmer temperatures. These changes can disrupt ecosystems, as the relationships between species and their environments are altered, affecting food webs and overall ecological balance.
