Climate ultimately affects all forms of life.

Climate acts in conjunction with other factors

to limits of plant growth. Its role is direct in its effects on plants and indirect through its influence on edaphic and biotic factors. The direct effects of climate on plants are exerted by elements of the water and heat budget, precipitation, humidity, temperature, sunlight and wind. Variation in one can change the others in producing different rates of evapotranspiration and photosynthesis. The precipitation is also an impor­tant determinant of vegetation growth.
