Response of organisms to abiotic factors

Abiotic factors are the non-living factors of the environment. The organisms respond to these factors by a number of ways like regulation, conformation, migration and suspension.

Migration

Organisms migrate temporarily to a new habitat under stressful conditions and return back when the conditions are normal.

Suspension

Under unfavourable conditions, zooplankton undergo diapause where they suspend their development.
