Abstract

Temperature variability, driven by climate change, significantly affects agricultural biodiversity, with implications for crop yields, pest dynamics, and ecosystem services. As global temperatures rise, agricultural systems are experiencing increased temperature extremes, which disrupt the stability of ecosystems and biodiversity within them. This research investigates the spatial and temporal variability of temperature across agricultural regions, assessing how these fluctuations affect the genetic diversity of crops, the productivity of agroecosystems, and the resilience of farming systems to climate-related stressors. Using long-term climate data, remote sensing technologies, and fieldbased assessments, this study identifies regions most vulnerable to temperature-induced stresses and examines the associated risks for agricultural biodiversity. The results suggest that temperature variability has the potential to reduce genetic diversity in key crops, increase vulnerability to pests and diseases, and threaten ecosystem services critical for sustainable agriculture. These findings underscore the need for adaptive agricultural strategies and policies to mitigate the impact of temperature variability on agricultural biodiversity and food security.
