Hey dear Hive friends, I hope you all had a pleasant start to the new week and a day that was full of positive experiences! In this post I would like to discuss an interesting topic and hope you can learn something new.
Here you can see pictures of some plants and I would like to write something about how plants communicate with each other. Even if it is imperceptible to humans, plants and trees also communicate with each other and, unlike insects or animal, which mainly come into contact with each other via frequencies, plants take up information about the leaves or roots and communicate with smells. Even if plants have no sensory organs, they are still able to smell, feel, see or hear and react to the external influences such as light and also the roots have interesting abilities and can be considered a kind of brain and roots also have the ability to recognize liquids or toxins and send this signal further to the surface to the rest of the plant. Through the large root networks, which are most of the time imperceptible to humans, enormous communication channels have been formed with the help of which can be communicated across the forest and over longer distances and also exchange nutrients with each other. The idea alone is enormous how entire networks have formed in the underground is simply enormous and it is a totally underestimated topic how powerful nature is and can also defend itself against enemies if necessary, such as by educing certain substances such as tannins for defense.
With flowers, it is particularly interesting which even have the ability to recognize natural predators and communicate with plants, fungi or even animals from near areas such as vermin or other attackers. Plants and animals communicate with each other with the help of smells and young and older plants communicate specifically with each other and so older plants know when to wrap themselves protectively around a young plant. Plants have different sensors to detect light and different changes in the light cycle or intensity and is also another important communication channel of plants via optical influences such as colors and patterns or the production of nectar with which they attract insects. Plants also have interesting communication methods with each other for defense, such as through thorns, spines or other substances which could become a danger to natural predators. Plants are also able to perceive vibrations and thus react to touch or attackers and are thus able to exchange ideas quickly and plants can also react to music and classical music works particularly well on plants.
Many thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my new contribution! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens!
