Great article! I have actually chosen this to evaluate. I chose this with the interest in the impact that abiotic stress has on organisms. I was curious to learn what organisms were chosen within the article and the organism’s response to stress, whether that be an organism going back into a hibernated state or if the stress proves to be harmful to the organism’s life.HT416 (talk) 22:01, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Question/suggestion to article

Question:

1. What effects do abiotic stressors have on ecosystem dynamics such as species richness and abundance? Are these stressors a selective mechanism for the presence of specifically adapted species?

2. What adaptive mechanisms have plants evolved to be able to survive in serpentine soils? I think it would be worth mentioning hyperaccumulators in the section discussing heavy metal stress in plants.

Question:

1. What are some more types of plants do abiotic stressors have the most effect on? 2. Although abiotic stress is unavoidable, does it have more effect in specific biomes like the desert, tundra, etc. or does it have just as much effect on plants who receive all seasonal types of stressors? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anniehopkins10 (talk • contribs) 15:49, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Suggestion to change: This sentence: "Abiotic stress is the most harmful factor concerning the growth and productivity of crops worldwide." could be construed as an opinion. "the most harmful factor" can't be proven because there are a lot of negative factors that impact crop productivity. The source that claims this may be overreaching unless other sources also repeat this statement. Pmbdanni (talk) 20:52, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Suggestion: I think it might be helpful to include some figures in the article for clarity of the effects of different abiotic stressors- for example, in the "benefits" section, you might include a figure from a study showing the optimal rates of wildfires to enhance plant growth, which would tie in well with the discussion of wildfires as both detrimental and constructive to an ecosystem.
