The biological systems involve the interaction between biotic and abiotic components of ecosystem. One of the major abiotic component is climate, which plays a crucial role in migration, survival, hibernation and other important factors in the lives of the organisms. The change in the climatic conditions can have detrimental effects on the organisms’ lives.
