Morphology
The meaning 'the state of the environment' is directly and compositionally derived from 'environmental' (pertaining to the environment) + 'condition' (the state of something). This noun phrase follows a regular adjective+noun composition found across languages and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The term environmental condition comes from environment, the things around a plant or animal like air, water and soil, and condition, meaning the 'state' or how things are. It paints a picture of what the surroundings are like at a place, so it means the state of the environment that affects living things.
