How do organisms cope with stressful external environmental conditions which are localised or of short duration?

Solution

The organisms cope up with the localised or short duration stressful conditions in the following ways:
Plants undergo dormancy and germinate on the availability of suitable conditions. The seeds and some other vegetative structures serve as means to tide over the period of harsh conditions and germinate under the favourable condition when the temperature and moisture are adequate.
Animals either migrate to some other place where the environmental conditions are favourable, or they go into aestivation or hibernation. The zooplankton enters into the state of diapause. All these stages show minimal metabolic activity and suspended development.
