SUMMARY Plants and ecosystems worldwide are exposed to a wide range of chemical, physical, biological factors global change, many which act concurrently. As bringing order the array is required in generate an enhanced understanding simultaneous impacts, classification schemes have been developed. One such scheme dedicated capturing different targets change along ecological hierarchy. We build on this pioneering work, refine conceptual framework several ways, focusing plants terrestrial systems: (i) we more strictly define target level hierarchy, that every factor typically has just one level, not many; (ii) include effects above community, is, there also at ecosystem scale cannot be reduced any below this; (iii) introduce landscape capture certain land use while abandoning individual. discuss how can propagate levels upwards downwards, presenting opportunities for explaining non‐additivity multiple factors. hope updated will help inform next generation plant‐focused experiments, specifically aimed confluence

The complexity of environmental conditions encountered by plants in the field, or nature, is gradually increasing due to anthropogenic activities that promote global warming, climate change, and increased levels pollutants. While past it seemed sufficient study how acclimate one even two different stresses affecting them simultaneously, complex developing on our planet necessitate a new approach studying stress plants: Acclimation multiple occurring concurrently consecutively (termed, multifactorial combination [MFSC]). In an initial plant response MFSC, conducted with Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings subjected MFSC six abiotic stresses, was found increase number simultaneously impacting plant, growth survival declined, if effects each involved such minimal insignificant. three recent studies, crop plants, have similar commercial rice cultivar, maize hybrid, tomato, soybean, causing significant reductions growth, biomass, physiological parameters, and/or yield traits. As are worsening, as well becoming more complex, addressing its agriculture ecosystems worldwide becomes high priority. this review, we address crops, agriculture, worldwide, highlight potential avenues enhance resilience crops MFSC.
