In the present paper are analyzed detrimental consequences of this phenomenon on natural vegetation and fauna but also on the „artificial” vegetation (agricultural crops) on Earth. Thus, higher temperatures coupled with changing rainfall regime, lead to the extinction of species of plants and animals the later migrating into areas where conditions are more or less close to their needs. The paper outline the state of forest fires, the melting of glaciers and glacial ice caps at the poles, affecting aquatic biodiversity. It analyzes the appearance of aridity of more tracts of land areas of the world and in Romania, the lack of water which affects the life of the planet in general as well those of the people by restricting the decrease of arable land and agricultural production. Key words: biodiversity, fauna, global warming, natural and artificial vegetation, negative impact Introduction The global warming in recent decades already has a negative impact on biodiversity and in the future is expected to become a more significant threat for the future decades. In recent decades there has been a change of climatic factors, an increase in annual temperatures, especially in summer, which extends in duration. This climate change is largely due to anthropogenic activity has a negative influence on the entire natural environment. The last 15 years (after 2000) were the warmest years after 1900, the temperatures rose by 0.9oC. In this paper we will refer only to the adverse effects on biodiversity products (both natural and "artificial"). Discussions First, we present aspects of natural vegetation and fauna which is suffering due to temperature rises. Academy of Romanian Scientists Annals - Series on Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, No.1, (2017) 5 Adrian BAVARU, Rodica BERCU Rising temperatures coupled with changing rainfall leads to the disappearance of some species and their migration (the animal’s case) in areas where conditions are more or less close to their needs. In this sense, are eloquent some examples: In the mountain areas, species of plants and animals accustomed to colder and wetter habitats, migrate upward vertically. Many of them will disappear, the case of pika (Ochotona princeps) that live in the western mountains of North America and southwestern Canada, an endangered species included in the IUCIN Red List (Fig. 1, a) (Beever and Smith, 2011; Smith and Weston, 1990). It is accustomed to low temperatures at 2.800 m altitude and now is considered an endangered species. The species dies in 6 hours if is exposed to temperatures above 25.5oC, being an important indicator of this global process (Hafner, 1993). Another example is the small mountain vertebrate – the marsupial pygmy possum (Burramys parvus) living in the cracks mountains of N -E of Victoria and south of New South Wales, Australia, which is also an endangered species.
