Abstract
Acclimatization is related to the process by which an organism adjusts to environmental changes over time. It permits living beings to adapt to new or challenging conditions, ensuring their survival and well-being. Acclimation involves physiological, anatomical, or morphological adjustments within a single organism that improve performance or survival in response to environmental change. The extent of this acclimation is constrained by the genome of the individual. In turn, adaptation involves the acquisition or recombination of genetic traits that improve performance or survival over multiple generations.
