The phrase "acclimation effect" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the process of becoming accustomed to a new environment or condition, particularly in scientific or psychological discussions.
Example: "The acclimation effect observed in the subjects indicated a significant improvement in their performance after a few weeks of adaptation to the new climate."
Alternatives: "adaptation effect" or "adjustment effect".

In addition, an acclimation effect was observed for BTri, leading to a rapid elimination after acclimation (49 days) of the ASC.
This LC acclimation effect was even more apparent in the two photorespiratory mutants, ΔglcD1 and ΔgcvT, with aspartate/PEP ratios approximating 1 under LC conditions in both mutants.
The acclimation effect results in partial compensation of metabolic and developmental rates in response to low temperatures; that is, cold conditions do not slow embryogenesis as much as they would have done in the absence of acclimation.
Thus, the well-known acclimation effect of growth to enhanced CO2 did not occur.
However, an acclimation effect was evident as expression levels decreased over time in all strains.
One under-investigated theme which may contribute to this variation concerns acclimation effects across the life cycle.
These results demonstrate that larval acclimation effects can alter adult phenotypes in a species whose life cycle includes two drastically different environments, an aquatic and a terrestrial stage.
Thermal acclimation may occur only over a limited thermal range in this species; or heart rates may acclimate whereas metabolic rates do not; or (more likely, in our opinion), the newly-developed methods for monitoring of heart rates rather than oxygen consumption rates provide a more sensitive and robust way to look for acclimation effects.
These are important precautionary steps as acclimation effects can be strong.
An additional assay was performed to test short-term acclimation effects.
