Plants Hear Sounds

Plants Hear Sounds explores the groundbreaking science of plant bioacoustics, revealing that plants actively perceive and respond to their vibrational environment. Challenging the traditional view, the book presents evidence that plants use sophisticated sensory mechanisms to detect, discriminate, and react to sound, influencing their growth, behavior, and defense. We learn that sound and vibrations play a more critical role in plant life than previously understood, with implications for agriculture and our understanding of plant intelligence.

The book begins with the basics of plant biology and acoustics, before delving into how plants perceive vibrations through mechanotransduction. It investigates the impact of different sounds on plant growth and development, analyzing experimental data on music, environmental noises, and specific frequencies.

The book culminates by exploring the use of sound for communication, defense, and interactions with pollinators, offering potential applications for sustainable agriculture.
