Global Warming is said to be a great threat to earth's biodiversity. The Plant biodiversity is under greater threat from global warming than deforestation, which many believe as the biggest threat. The rapid global climatic change is said to be causing loss in plant biodoversity. A study shows that there is a scientific evidence that the glonal warming will cause loss of massive number of species biodiversity. 25 out of 24 biodiversity hotspot place that have unique plant and animal species are under enormous threat. These hotspot contains 44% of terristial animals and 35% of world's plant species. Hence, there is a most likely chance, that global warming will lead to massive loss of diverse plants and animals. Moreover, these hotspot areas are more vulnerable because the species have stopped migrating due to geographical limitation. So, these diverse species are tied down to particular hotspot which are at a greak risk with rise in global warming, leading to rapid climatic change.
