Change in climatic elements impact on agriculture

Abstract

The most essential physical factor in nature is climate. Changes in climate parameters are referred to as climate change (main parameters are temperature, rainfall, humidity and wind). It is a global and current issue that has become a well-known global calamity in recent years (IPCC, 2007). Climate change is a long-term process that has far-reaching consequences. From low to high latitude, the pace of change and the effect of that change differ. Low latitudinal places are impacted not just from an environmental standpoint, but also from a financial standpoint. Because the research location is in the tropical region of West Bengal, it is badly affected when the temperature rises over time. People's basic economy is agriculture in numerous locations, and agricultural productivity is influenced by climate factors. Agricultural productivity is influenced by climatic factors such as temperature, rainfall, and humidity. However, climate change has had an impact on lower latitudinal locations for numerous decades. Climate change is caused by the release of GHGs or Green House Gases (Gil Kim, 2009), urbanisation, and industrialisation, according to many sorts of studies. As a result, agricultural yield, area, and productivity have all dropped.
