Opis

Medicinal plants are highly valuable to human livelihood and the medicinal plant wealth of India is well recognized as unique and globally rich. Studies on possible effects of climate change on medicinal plants are particularly significant due to their value within traditional systems of medicine and as economically useful plants. There are evidences that climate change is causing noticeable effects on life cycles and distribution of the plant species. However, it is largely unclear about climate change effects on secondary chemicals production in plants. Elsewhere this perspective has been given renewed attention recently. The construction of roads and other infrastructure in such sensitive areas is a severe problem since it harms the ecology as a whole.
