Agriculture activities give impacts on climate change in Malaysia.

1. Rate of expansion and survival of reproductive structures are affected when

the temperature increases.
• The moisture content of the soils are affecting on evaporation process.
• May be altered by the rate of precipitation, surrounding temperature, the cloud cover and
the soil moisture.
2. Food production which resulting from agriculture activities leads to;
Geographical and yield changes in agriculture.
Reduction in the quantity of water available – irrigation.
Loss of land – rise of the sea levels.
3. The presence of weeds, pests and diseases.
• Cause changes in temperature and precipitation profiles.

4. Contribution of CO2 from agriculture activities.

• Increase in CO2 increase the rate of photosynthesis of the paddy field.
• Increase the surrounding temperature too.
