What Plants Talk About

When we think about plants, we donâ€™t often associate a term like â€œbehaviorâ€ with them, but experimental plant ecologist JC Cahill wants to change that. The University of Alberta professor maintains that plants do behave and lead anything but solitary and sedentary lives. â€œTheyâ€™re actively engaging with the environment in which they live,â€ Cahill insists. â€œThey actively communicate. They actively respond to the nutrients, and the predators, and the herbivores that are around them. Itâ€™s a really dynamic system.â€ By exploring the fascinating behaviors of plant life, including the dodder vine, wild tobacco plant, and Douglas fir, What Plants Talk About teaches us all that plants are smarter and much more interactive than we thought!
