The soil faces a direct impact from changes in the proportions of gases and temperature changes in the atmosphere, as it is directly related to the atmosphere. Although soil changes caused by climate change are time-consuming and occur over years, they greatly affect soil quality and agricultural crop yields. However, the plant may be affected more quickly than the soil itself. In the long term, these effects result in many losses, including: Decreased soil fertility: the soil can be affected by changes in the chemical and physical composition resulting from climate change, which leads to a decrease in its fertility and a deterioration in its quality. Deterioration of agricultural crops: Climate change can cause a decrease in crop productivity and crop quality, due to its negative effects on water availability, changes in temperature, and increased susceptibility to agricultural diseases and pests. Biodiversity loss: Many organisms live in the soil, such as bacteria, fungi, and worms, and these organisms are negatively affected by climate change, which leads to the loss of biodiversity in the soil.
