The phrase "alterations in the environment" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing changes or modifications that occur within a particular environment, such as ecological, social, or physical contexts.
Example: "The study focused on the alterations in the environment caused by urban development and its impact on local wildlife."
Alternatives: "changes in the environment" or "modifications to the environment".
Loeb performed laboratory work devoted to "tropism" — the tendency of plants and animals to react in a predetermined way to tiny alterations in the environment.
The effects of alterations in the environment on the conformation of melimine were investigated using circular dichroism and fluorescence spectra in membrane-mimetic solvents.
Second, a stimulus-sensitive functionality that responds to alterations in the environment, such as pH, ionic strength or the presence of metal ions, is often needed to control structural conversion and to shift the equilibrium in either direction.
Changing conditions such as temperature variations and/or alterations in the environment's resource composition lead to both non-constant replication and decay rates of the molecules.
Both researches clearly illustrate that transcriptional changes directly reflect the metabolic and physiological status of cells, and the observed major changes indicate cellular responses to alterations in the environment.
Alterations in the environment or physiology of a plant can affect the accumulation of multiple elements simultaneously.
In this case, an epidemic would result as much from an alteration in the environment as from the presence of the causative agent Pasteurella pestis, since, in relatively balanced ecological systems, the causative agent exists enzootically in the rodents (i.e., they serve as reservoirs for the disease) and seldom involves man.
Such systems might have already experienced evolutionary change in response to the alteration in the environment, but may be far from evolutionary equilibrium due to lagged responses or ongoing environmental change.
IPFP may have the same function as meniscus that can reduce mechanical overloading (especially in knee flexion) and absorb shock (an alteration in the environment of the joint, which can lead to cartilage degradation) through the joint.
In indirect means of communication (also called stigmergy), the information is transferred between individuals through alteration or modification in the environment that can be transferred by other agents later.
Interestingly, transient alterations in the cellular environment can permanently alter cell behavior.
