Project title: THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGES ON VEGETATION

EXISTÄ O LEGÄTURÄ ĂNTRE SCHIMBÄRILE CLIMATICE ÈI APARIÈIA VEGETAÈIEI ĂN PERIOADA 1-9 MARTIE ĂN CARTIERUL DĂMBUL ROTUND, CLUJ-NAPOCA, JUDEÈUL CLUJ, ROMĂNIA?
According to these data, we observe that the average temperature in March was 6.1 degrees in 1975, rising in the following years, reaching 7.2 degrees in 2014 and 2017. In a period of 42 years, the average temperature of March has increased by one degree, but this actually means temperature increases during each day. If at the beginning of March there were changes in the weather, one day it snowed, then it froze, then it melted, then it rained, now we have more sunny days at the beginning of March.
The students of the 2nd grade C created a nature calendar for the period March 1-9, 2024. We will present some of the data obtained by them. From the calendars made by them, it can be seen that in 2024, the temperature was quite high, with no minus temperatures
The first image discovered is from 2018.03.08, the next image is from 2020.03.07, and the last one is from 2024.03.06. all of them are captured by the Sentinel 2.12 satellite. Looking at them carefully, we notice that the intensity of the green color is increasing year by year, although the same period of the year is captured, the days of the Babes, 1-9.m apps, I used the Sentinel HubEO browser website.
After analyzing the weather data of the area from the last years and the information, the students could see that the temperature has increased, which has led to the blooming of snowdrops and all kinds of flowers that herald spring much earlier.
Taking all this into account, the students could see a direct relationship between the positive temperatures both during the day, but especially during the night in recent years and the changes over time. In the years 1980-1990, snowdrops bloomed between March 1-9, but after the year 2000 they can be seen blooming even from the beginning of February.

The conclusions that can be drawn from here are: climate changes are obvious: increasing temperatures, long periods of winter without precipitation in the form of snow, no low temperatures below 0 degrees, these changes can cause changes in the development of these species up to disappearance. Our intervention to stop climate change is necessary, because with everyone’s help we can improve the situation.
What’s next? Actions to make a difference and help reduce pollution.
Earth’s climate is changing. With this research activity we were able to see how the average temperature of the planet is increasing and this has repercussions in many areas, such as the environment, the economy, health and everyday life.
Let’s reimagine a sustainable world where we
to reuse everything to avoid the consumption of new products, which involve the use or pollution of natural resources.
â Using organic products to treat pests in our crops.
â We take care of our forests, with the sustainable harvesting of their products.
– Activities of afforestation and greening of intensively deforested areas.
â Use green transport: walk or cycle around our town, use public transport to get to other locations, to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas pollutants.
â Set an example through our actions around us so that our families, friends and neighbors become aware of the importance of caring for the environment.
â Giving voice to our actions, through social networks, informative posters.
And so, to help improve the environment and mitigate climate change, the students culminated this research with the creation of an exhibition of ecologically themed drawings that will be displayed on our school’s social networks.
