Climate change poses a significant threat to global agriculture, with rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and increased atmospheric CO₂ levels potentially disrupting crop growth cycles and productivity. This study investigates the effects of these climate change parameters on Glycine max (soybean), a crucial crop for global food security. Through a combination of controlled environment experiments and field trials, we examine how elevated CO₂ levels, increased temperatures, and variable precipitation impact phenology, yield, and physiological responses of different Glycine max cultivars. Our results highlight the complex interaction between these factors and suggest adaptation strategies to mitigate adverse effects. The findings contribute to a better understanding of climate change impacts on soybean cultivation and offer guidance for resilient agricultural practices.
