Literary notes about environmental (AI summary)
The term “environmental” is employed in literature to describe a broad array of external factors that influence both biological and societal phenomena. In scientific texts, it references natural forces shaping evolution and adaptation—for instance, the fixation of morphological traits through environmental pressures ([1]) and the survival challenges faced by organisms under such stresses ([2], [3]). In sociological and policy discussions, it delineates the interplay between human activity and external conditions, illustrating how environmental issues can intersect with economic and regulatory challenges ([4], [5]). Additionally, “environmental” serves as a bridge linking various disciplines by setting context: from the study of historical and ethnological conditions impacting behavior ([6]) to highlighting the role of environment in technological settings such as controlled habitats ([7]). This multifaceted use underscores its capacity to convey both literal and metaphorical influences that govern life and human affairs.
