Eco-Sensitivity Adaptation Acclimation Acclimatization

Eco-Sensitivity

·        
The concept of an ecological sensitivity or
Eco-Sensitivity is among the most widely used terms with no unequivocally
accepted definition. Infect eco-sensitivity is often considered synonymous with
environmentally sensitive areas, environmentally sensitive zones, ecologically
sensitive ecosystems, ecologically sensitive sites.

·         The Eco-Sensitivity area is an area where the natural environment can easily be harmed.

·        
Eco-Sensitivity areas are those areas that we
consider ecologically, economically, biologically ‘rich’, valuable, and or
unique and are largely irreplaceable if destroyed.

Adaptation

·        
Adaptation may be defined as the ability of a living organism to survive in a particular environment condition by the possession of
physical, Biochemical, Genetic, and behavioral features.

·        
It is the adjustment of the organism to its environment in order to improve its chances of survival in that environment.

·        
Adaption is of two kinds:

                                
i.           
External Adaption

                              
ii.           
Internal Adaption

Adaption Trait

Adaption Traits may be of the following three kinds:

        
i.           
Structural/Biological adaption (Physical
features of an organism like shape, body coverings, internal organs)

       ii.           
Behavioral adaption (Inherited system of
behavior like searching for foods, mating, vocalization)

      iii.           
Physiological adaption (Growth, Development,
Temperature regulation)

Acclimation

·        
Acclimation is the process by which an organism
adjusts to a change in its environment.

·        
The process of acclimation is all about the way
that a person or other organism adapts to a new environment.

·        
It generally refers to the ability of living
things to adjust to changes in climate and usually occurs in a short time of
change.

·        
It is the adjustment to laboratory conditions.

·        
Acclimation is the process to handle the changes
in temperatures precipitation and food sources.

·        
It is the coordinated phenotype response
developed by the organism in the environment.

Acclimatization

·        
It is the process in which an individual
organism adjusts to a change in its environment allowing it to maintain the
performance across a range of environmental conditions.

·        
It occurs in a short period of time and within
the organisms’ lifetime.

·        
Adjustment of an organism to change in the environment under natural conditions is called Acclimatization.

·        
Long term response of an organism to changes in
its environment, such responses are more or less habitual and irreversible.

·        
Adjustment to seasonal changes in temperatures comes
under acclimatization.

·        
It is the physical response to a number of
environmental factors (Heat, Cold, and Altitude).
