Abstract
Climate change is one of the major global challenges that exerts profound and wide-ranging impacts on seed production as a critical biological process in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. This review paper provides a comprehensive assessment of these impacts and presents adaptation strategies. The findings reveal that in agricultural ecosystems, climate change affects all stages of seed production, from planting and vegetative growth to harvesting, storage, and transportation. Changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events lead to reductions in both the quantity and quality of seeds. In natural ecosystems, climate change alters biodiversity, species distribution, seed dormancy, and the performance of natural seed banks, causing significant shifts in the composition and distribution of native species. To address these challenges, various adaptation strategies are proposed. In agricultural ecosystems, key measures include relocating seed production sites, developing and selecting climate-resilient varieties, improving the management of cultivation, seed processing, and storage, leveraging advanced technologies, and enhancing farmer education and empowerment. In natural ecosystems, strategies such as conserving and managing natural seed banks, facilitating seed dispersal, and assisted migration of species are recommended. The study highlights the critical need for the development and implementation of comprehensive and coordinated strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure seed production security in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. Integrated approaches, grounded in scientific knowledge and adaptive management, are essential for maintaining seed quality and sustaining seed production under variable climatic conditions.
