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:
“of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness
of the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep
his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 13)
“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)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
