Overview

An In-Depth Investigation of Abiotic Stress Hey there! The ability of plants, animals, and microbes to grow, develop, and produce is greatly affected by abiotic stress. Abiotic stress, in contrast to biotic stress, is induced by environmental elements that do not include any living organisms, such as viruses or pests. Several factors can contribute to this, including but not limited to: radiation, heavy metals, dryness, salt, and extremely high or low temperatures. Abiotic stress has far-reaching effects and presents formidable obstacles to ecosystems, biodiversity, and agriculture. Exploring the various forms, methods, and adaptive strategies that organisms have developed to deal with abiotic stress is crucial for understanding its intricacies. Different Abiotic Stressors: High and Low Temperatures: Extreme heat can denaturate proteins and interrupt cellular processes, both of which are harmful to living things. This condition is known as heat stress. When heatwaves hit, plants could get stressed out and not be able to do photosynthesis or grow as tall as they normally would. Frost damage, which occurs when ice crystals form inside plant cells as a result of exposure to extremely cold temperatures, is one symptom of cold stress.
