The phrase "autonomous adaptation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing systems, technologies, or organisms that can adjust or change independently in response to their environment or circumstances.
Example: "The robot's autonomous adaptation allows it to navigate complex terrains without human intervention."
Alternatives: "self-directed adjustment" or "independent modification".
From the other predictors only gender was associated with either autonomous adaptation action, with women appearing to be less adaptive.
We also revealed that the autonomous adaptation measures implemented by stakeholders to mitigate impacts of climatic change often contradict adaptive management planned and implemented by environmental authorities.
However, a continuous and autonomous adaptation process may be more natural and improve the quality of assimilation.
In burgeoning poor urban settlements growing on city margins, autonomous adaptation strategies are often the only measures to respond to increasing climatic and compounding stressors.
If autonomous adaptation is downplayed people are more likely to make land-use choices that collectively lead to increasing flood risks while leaving the costs of adaptation and land scarcity with governments.
Unless governments provide stimuli, autonomous adaptation in flood-prone areas is unlikely to happen due to spatial externalities, path-dependency and time lag between private investment decisions and consequences.
The risks are reduced more effectively if both planned and autonomous adaptations take place.
Furthermore, CPS are used in safety-critical domains, which requires them and their autonomous adaptations to be dependable.
Heat stress impacts on crop growth and yield have been investigated by controlled-environment experiments, however little is known about the impacts under field conditions at large spatial and temporal scales, particularly in a setting with farmers' autonomous adaptations.
These autonomous adaptations require an enabling policy environment for their effective implementation.
Adaptation actions at national or international level, however, entail an understanding of the process of autonomous adaptations at farm-level (Bryan et al. 2009).
