Abstract

Global warming plays a major role in climate change that is mainly caused by the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide(N2O) and Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFC) level in the last two decades. These greenhouse gases partially absorb long wave radiation remitted by the earth’s warm surface and re-emit the same resulting in warming up in the atmosphere. Climate change can be identified by changes in mean and variability of its properties. Climate changes are operated by the increase of (Green House gases) of them Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most important greenhouse gases because of which influence the growth and morphology of industrially important tree species in tropics. Teak and Eucalyptus are the economically important tree species grown throughout the world in current study found that morphological, physiological and biochemical changes under elevated CO2 conditions. Forests, comprising diverse ecosystems and housing a plethora of plant species, play a critical role in mitigating climate change by acting as carbon sinks. Among the key contributors to this dynamic, Teak and Eucalyptus, as prominent tropical tree species, have been identified for their potential to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) and influence ecosystem dynamics. Understanding how these trees respond to elevated CO2 levels is imperative for predicting the resilience and adaptability of forest ecosystems in the face of ongoing climate change. As we navigate a changing climate, unraveling the intricacies of how these vital tree species interact with elevated CO2 provides crucial insights for informed forest management and conservation practices.
