Environmental Physiology
Environmental Physiology is the study of how living organisms adapt to their surroundings. It examines the physiological processes that enable species to survive in various environments, such as extreme temperatures, humidity, and altitude. This field helps us understand the mechanisms behind adaptation, including changes in metabolism, respiration, and circulation.
Researchers in Environmental Physiology often focus on specific organisms, such as plants, animals, and humans, to explore their responses to environmental stressors. By studying these adaptations, scientists can gain insights into ecological balance and the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and species survival.
