Benlloch-González, María, et al. "An approach to global warming effects on flowering and fruit set of olive trees growing under field conditions." Scientia Horticulturae 240 (2018): 405-410.

This article outlines the effects of global warming on flowering and fruits. It is particularly looking at how the increase in air temperature in association with climate change is expected to have the effects on olive tree. The researcher used the olive trees growing in the Mediterranean climate type area by subjecting them to warmer temperatures as compared to normal temperatures they are used to. The effect of this was that there was an advance in the date of flowering of the olives indicating the effects of global warming on olives. This is a research that shows the true picture of what is expected on the effects of global warming.

Nikulin, Grigory, et al. "The effects of 1.5 and 2 degrees of global warming on Africa in the CORDEX ensemble." Environmental Research Letters 13.6 (2018): 065003.

This article gives information on the effects of subjecting more degrees of global warming o the regional climates in Africa. The authors used a large ensemble of CORDEX Africa simulations to present a pan African overview of the impact of 1.5 and 20c levels of global warming on the climate of Africa. The results indicated that there is a robust regional warming that exceeds the mean global warming over most parts of Africa.

Alfonso, Sébastien, Manuel Gesto, and Bastien Sadoul. "Temperature increase and its effects on fish stress physiology in the context of global warming." Journal of Fish Biology (2020).

This article looks at the effects of global warming in the animal population globally through the chronic increase in temperature together with an increase in the frequency of high heatwave events. The results of the study shows that, chronic increase in temperature includes a physiological load that is capable of altering the ability of fishes in order to cope with additional stressors which compromises the fitness of the fishes. Also, rapid temperature rises are seen to be causing acute responses to stress in fishes which might be of relevance ecologically in particular situations. This study has summarized the effects of increase in temperature on the physiological stress of fishes.

Gårdmark, Anna, and Magnus Huss. "Individual variation and interactions explain food web responses to global warming." Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B 375.1814 (2020): 20190449.

This article explains how warming can reduce the richness of species as well as the biomass production. The authors notes that they have found that warming responses that have been observed at different levels of biological organizations are contrary. For instance, they note that high temperatures most commonly lead to individual body growth but it is capable of reducing the biomass production of fishes.

Mika, Janos, et al. "Impact of 1.5 K global warming on urban air pollution and heat island with outlook on human health effects." Current opinion in environmental sustainability 30 (2018): 151-159.

This article shows the study of how climate change has modified the circulation as well as the tradition effects., which has influenced the pollution of urban heat island properties. The authors have also reviewed the effects of global warming on the health of urban residents as a results air pollution caused by the global warming. The resultant discussion indicates that majority of the urban residents are greatly affected in terms of health as compared to those in the rural areas as a result of global warming.
