Spreading solarization systems and its effects on the climate as well as the floral community of a region is not completely assessed yet. But various reports indicated that the variable effects in terms of sudden rise and fall in temperature are revealed on the climate and wild flora of the area.  Actually, solarization is a new technique used to control the pests and other diseases in soil by covering it with a clear plastic tarp to trap heat and moisture. While using of solarization techniques could be an effective method for improving soil health, its impact on the local climate and flora must be carefully considered.

The potential effects of solarization systems on temperature, moisture, and microbial communities in the soil, as well as its impact on local ecosystems and biodiversity would be measured, then the true picture is clear to understand the possible positive and negative effects on the surrounding and the life of the animate.  No doubt solarization systems have gained popularity as a sustainable method for controlling pests and diseases in soil. However, the widespread adoption of these systems can have significant effects on the local climate and flora as well. The effects of solarization systems on climate are multifaceted.

Some potential impacts include some extent increase of temperature in the surroundings. Solarization can increase soil temperature, potentially altering local microclimates and affecting plant growth. In addition, solarization can also retain moisture in the soil, potentially reducing the need for irrigation and mitigating the effects of drought. Moreover, the production and disposal of plastic tarps used in solarization can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, potentially exacerbating climate change. In other side, the effects of solarization systems on flora of the area are observed significant e.g. Solarization can effectively control population of weeds in the crops and it is potentially reducing the need for herbicides and other chemicals. Solarization can also prepare the soil for planting by killing existing vegetation and reducing weed seed germination in the fields.

Beside these, the solarization can alter soil biology, including microbial communities and nutrient availability, potentially affecting plant growth and soil health.  In spite of impact of solarization on the climate and flora of the area, the solar system gradually influences the regional environment significantly, that include: Firstly, widespread adoption of solarization systems can disrupt local ecosystems, potentially affecting biodiversity and ecosystem services. Secondly, solarization systems have a potential to degrade the soil condition, particularly if it is not implemented in correct ways, then its effects move towards the leading role and reduced the fertility of soil and increased the soil erosion effectively. Thirdly, the solarization systems might be conserved the water by reducing evaporation stream and retaining the moisture level in the soil, and further its potentially mitigating the effects of drought could be increased gradually.

Finally, it is concluded that the spreading of solarization systems can have significant effects on the climate and flora of a region. While solarization could be an effective method for improving soil health and its impact on local ecosystems and biodiversity must be carefully considered. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of solarization systems and to develop best practices for their use.

Based on the findings of this account, the following important recommendations are made: first one is to prepare the care full plan and implement solarization systems to minimize potential negative impacts on local climate and flora. Second most is to establish monitoring and evaluation protocols to assess the effectiveness and impact of solarization systems in different regions. Third important recommendation is to promote sustainable practices in the production and disposal of plastic tarps used in solarization to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. By considering the potential impacts of solarization systems on climate and flora, we could work towards more sustainable and effective methods for improving soil health and promoting ecosystem services in the region.
