Well, with C3 plants they can only tolerate a certain temperature (and need ample moisture) before their method of photosynthesis ceases to work. When the sun ages, its luminosity, and thus global surface temperatures, increases. You'd see C3 plants being out-competed by C4 plants, which are adapted to surviving in…
