Ecophysiology
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-003554
The study of the physiological adaptations of organisms to their environment, examining how their bodily functions are influenced by ecological factors. This field investigates how organisms cope with environmental challenges such as temperature extremes, water availability, or nutrient scarcity. It integrates principles of physiology and ecology to understand organismal responses.
