Climate and Acclimatization

Cold Acclimatization in Eskimo

0 N EXPOSURE to cold the body has a complicated physiological problem to solve. There is a limit to the heat it can produce to provide for an increased heat loss and during exposure of much severity a heat deficit is incurred. While peripheral tissues are cooling, the central body temperature must be kept within a very narrow range if the function of vital organs is to be maintained. If the acc...

Acclimatization of tissue-cultured plants

A substantial number of micropropagated plants do not survive transfer from in vitro conditions to greenhouse or field environment. The greenhouse and field have substantially lower relative humidity, higher light level and septic environment that are stressful to micropropagated plants compared to in vitro conditions. The benefit of any micropropagation system can, however, only be fully reali...

Acclimatization in tropical reef corals

Global climate change (GCC) is the most widespread environmental peril facing tropical coral reefs, yet the capacity of scleractinian corals to survive the challenge is not well understood. Acclimatization is a primary mechanism by which organisms match their physiology in a timely and beneficial way to a rapidly changing environment, and so it is not surprising that the question ‘can corals ac...
