Climate plays a pivotal role in shaping terrestrial ecosystems through factors such as temperature, precipitation, and seasonal variations. These climatic conditions determine the types of vegetation and animal species that can thrive in an area, influencing the overall structure and function of the ecosystem. For example, tropical rainforests, characterized by high rainfall and temperatures, support diverse flora and fauna, while deserts have adapted organisms suited to arid conditions. Furthermore, climate change can disrupt these patterns, leading to shifts in species distribution and altering the balance of ecosystems, affecting their health and resilience.
