Eco-physiology

Eco-physiology is the study of how plants and animals interact with their environment and how those interactions affect their survival and growth. It combines ecology, which looks at ecosystems, with physiology, which focuses on the biological functions of organisms. By understanding how organisms adapt to factors like climate, soil, water, and light, eco-physiology helps explain their behaviors and distributions in nature. This knowledge is crucial for conservation efforts, agriculture, and understanding how climate change impacts ecosystems.
