How might global warming impact terrestrial biomes? how might global warming impact terrestrial biomes? increased boreal forest increased transpiration from plants decreased precipitation longer winter seasons?

Answer 1

Global warming impacts terrestrial biomes since it brings about decreased precipitation and longer winter seasons. Global warming refers to the increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. This is brought about by release of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide, methane) in the air which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. As a result, there is increased variability of weather and climate patterns.
