In case there was an environmental change, increasing medium temperature, population of crops and plants would change their optimal areas to different ones, that is, plants that require cold winters would ''go'' north, there would be changes in the types of pathogens that attack the different crops since their ideal conditions would change, there would be changes in the normal amounts of precipitations in the different areas, and therefore the density of different populations of plants, it would change the ability to compete between species, some plants would grow bigger, since they'd develop with more grade units, etc...

Plants and crops need specific conditions to thrive. By changing the conditions for any one plant, the plant will either suffer stress and die out or it will learn to adapt.

well what i observe here is that the cold loving plants dissappear while some (hot loving, hot tolerating dryness tolerating) start occuring (both qualitative and quantitative changes in plant species spectra) here. there are species widely occuring that simply wasnt there at all say 20 years ago and ALL OF THEM came from hotter climate than our is, none of them comes from colder countries. also changes in spectra of weed composition and vegetation of derelict areas - again unmistakably in favour of hotter and drier type of vegetation- i will give u details if u write me email. plants that used (10-20years ago) to be found only in hoter parts of our country can now be found quite commonly elsewhere while you cant find many if any cold-loving species expanding

I suppose those 'Clever Scientists' will Genetically modify
the crops so they arn't affected.
Not that i agree with Mucking about mother Nature.

If it gets cold, plants can freeze. If it gets hot, plants can scorch. If it gets wet, plants can drown. If it gets dry...why did you need to ask this question, anyway?
