Kohandumisega

Kohandumisega is an Estonian term referring to the process or state associated with adaptation, particularly in ecological, technological, and social contexts. Grammatically, kohandumisega is the instrumental case form of kohandumine (adaptation), and is typically used in phrases to express the manner in which adaptation occurs or is applied, for example "kohandumisega seotud meetmed" (adaptation-related measures).

In scholarly and policy writing, the concept encompasses physiological, behavioral, and structural changes that enable systems or organisms to cope with changing conditions. It covers both short-term acclimation and longer-term developmental or evolutionary adaptation, as well as deliberate human strategies to reduce vulnerability to climate change, resource shifts, or social change.

Applications: In ecology, kohandumisega describes how species adjust their physiology or behavior; in agriculture, it refers to cultivating crop varieties and farming practices adapted to new climatic regimes; in urban planning and public health, it denotes strategies that enable communities to withstand heat waves, floods, or disease spread.

Notes: While the term is widely used in Estonian-language texts, kohandumisega is not a separate concept in English; it is the case form of kohandumine used to express "with adaptation." Related terms include kohandumine (adaptation), kohanemine (to adapt), and kohanemisvõime (adaptive capacity).
