Plant Responses to Climate Related Abiotic Stress

Video

A video lecture that gives an overview of how vegetation responds to climate change in terms of phenotypic plasticity, range shifts, phenology, and population changes.

Students will learn about plant responses to increased CO2 levels, higher global temperatures and changing precipitation patterns by discussing their impacts on native vegetation in Arizona. They will learn how plants respond to such environmental perturbations in the short and long term by showing phenotypic plasticity, acclimation and adaptation causing range shifts, phenological changes and changes in percentages of plant populations.

Use this tool to help your students find answers to:

  1. Describe physiological plasticity in plants in response to climate related abiotic stress factors.
  2. What is the difference between acclimation and adaptation in plants, in response to abiotic stress?
