Abstract
this article using the methodology based on the analytical and descriptive method of three analysis level. At the first level, temperature changes in the Iran by using network data from CRU base and relying on quantitative research method, at the second level, analyzing the general causes of temperature increase in the country by relying on qualitative research method, and at the last level, analyzing opportunities and threats. has investigated the increase in temperature in the agricultural sector based on the qualitative research method. The results show that the temperature increase in the average minimum temperature and maximum temperature in the recent thirty-year period compared to the selected standard climate period has been quite evident. The temperature increase in the minimum temperature compared to the selected standard climatic period, while it was an increase, was also much higher than the maximum temperature. This issue provides an opportunity to expand the production of agricultural products and increase the diversity of planting. Also, the increase in temperature can give the farmers of cold regions the possibility to change their planting pattern and grow heat-loving crops as well. bring threats such as increasing evaporation, increasing evaporation-transpiration and creating conditions for the multiplication and increase of the population of harmful insects and increasing the cooling costs of greenhouses and other things.
