Question

In areas where the greatest surface warming is expected to occur, which vegetation type is likely to be affected?

Answer 1

The vegetation that is likely to be affected when the greatest surface warming is expected to occur is the Northern Hemisphere as this has a great influenced by it. There is a sudden change with the land’s ice in which it starts melting and the now iced land is becoming more less compared to its natural form.

Answer 2

The vegetation type that will be the most affected from the surface warming are the forests.

The forests will start to decline as the surface warming increases, and this is because the forests need more moderate temperatures, or if its warmer than to have a very big amount of precipitation. This is not the case when a global warming occurs, and deeper into the mainland where most of the forests are located, the precipitation will reduce, and that combined with the higher surface temperature will cause the forests to slowly die out in those places. As the forests start to diminish, they will be systematically replaced by grasslands of different types.
