| Summary: | Climate change will affect the agricultural ecosystem on different levels. It also alters interactions of weeds and crops. Each weed reacts on an individual basis to changes. Weeds can show an increase or decrease in abundance, can invade new areas or can completely vanish. They also can change traits to be more competitive. Overall, this will result in a different abundance and composition of weeds, as well as a different damaging potential. Land-use changes and agricultural adoption strategies to climate change will have dramatic influence on the interactions as well. Based on these interactions, there will be various options for dealing with climate change.
