Conclusion
onAbiotic stress is a naturally occurring factor that cannot be controlled by humans. Some of the stress factors go hand in hand. One example of two stressors that are complimentary to each other is wind and draught. Drought dries out the soil and kills the plants that are growing in the soil. After this occurs the soil is left barren and dry. When the wind picks up then the soil is picked up and carried for miles. Irrigation is a way that humans can try to keep this from happening, but sometimes it is not possible to irrigate some areas. Genetically modified plants can be implemented to slow down the effects of the abiotic stressors. These plants can be given genes that allow them to survive several types of natural stressors. This allows more crops to be grown on a smaller amount of land. This is important because there is less and less farmland available. Also, less need for farmland allows some of it to be set aside for natural wildlife habitat. Abiotic stress only poses a problem to people or the environment if they are not prepared for it. There can be steps taken by humans to lessen the effects. Plants and animals have the ability to adapt to abiotic stress over time. This is natures way of taking care of itself and keeping everything in balance.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:
“No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichés that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him.... The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart’s blood.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
“We must not leap to the fatalistic conclusion that we are stuck with the conceptual scheme that we grew up in. We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself. The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
