Abstract
Meterological data on temperature and rainfall for the period of 30 years was
analysed using statistical tools to see the periodical deviation of climate. The
impact of changing climate on mountain agriculture has been reviewed. Gradual
increase in minimum and maximum temperature was observed whereas
magnitude of increase in maximum temperature is more than minimum. There
has not been steady increase in rainfall indicating higher variability. The
increased temperature and irregular rainfall pattern has resulted in occurrence
of diseases/pest in mountain ecosystem having adverse effect on agricultural
production. Increase in temperature has opened revenue for introduction of new
agro-biodiversity, whereas negatively resulted in loss of existing diversity.
