Climate Change and Plant Diseases

Abstract

Climate change is a natural phenomenon, an environmental peculiarity driven by fluctuations of solar energy, volcanic eruptions, variations in Earth’s orbit and ocean-atmosphere interaction. Human impact on the environment forced this variability by altering the mean values and the intervals within which atmospheric phenomena occur, inducing the so-called “climate change”, whose effects are evident in the variation of atmospheric composition and in thermos-pluviometric regimes, in terms of intensity and frequency.
