The Climate change affects directly or indirectly the agricultural activity including crops, soils, livestock and pests. Due to global warming it interacts with habitat loss and fragmentation, introduced and invasive species and population growths and many ecosystems are likely to undergo severe modification. CO2 enrichment increases rate of photosynthesis in most of the plant species by producing more sugars per unit of light absorbed. A number of strategies are followed up for conservation, multiplication, production, improvement and protection of valuable ornamental species and varieties
