Abstract

Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues that may lead to changes in the biotic and abiotic components of the planet. The soil communities and plants are affected directly and indirectly by the changing climate, such as increasing average temperatures, increasing CO2 content in the atmosphere, and disturbed rainfall patterns. Climate plays a significant role, right from the development of the soil to its maintenance. The changes in the terrestrial ecosystems that dwell in the soil are a result of the global climate change. The species distribution as well as their interaction with other species in the ecosystem is being altered due to the global climate change. The natural communities are composed of organisms with varying traits and abilities. This chapter aims at comprehensive description of the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on the soil communities and plants and how climate change disturbed or changed soil structure and the microbial communities present in the soil. Further, the chapter also deals about how climate change affects the interaction of soil microbial communities among themselves and with the plant. The discussion also throws light on the extent of effects climate has on the soil degradation, biodiversity in soil community, and other soil dynamics.
