temperature tolerance
Thermal range capacity
Temperature tolerance is the range of temperatures an organism, material, or system can withstand without damage or failure.
Plants have specific temperature tolerances determining where they can grow.
Electronics are rated for operating temperature tolerance.
In biology, the term often describes an organism's ability to survive heat or cold stress: Desert lizards have remarkable temperature tolerance.
