Plants reaction on the anatomical, physiological and molecular level for environmental global changes

Abstract

Plants are organisms deprived of the ability to actively move. The adaptations they created during the evolution allow them to survive adverse habitat changes. The recent decline in the diversity of plants on the globe is caused by changes in the environment too quickly. These processes lead to the extinction of plant populations without giving them time to create appropriate adaptations. In connection with the observed decline in biodiversity, it seems that research into the possibilities of adaptation of plants to changes in habitat conditions is extremely important for understanding the functioning of ecosystems and the protection of endangered species. The article focuses on the main mechanisms adapting plants to environmental changes such as: drought, decrease in soil pH and increase in temperature on the Earth.
