Newly discovered plant behaviors, linked to historical observations, contemporary technologies, and emerging knowledge of signaling mechanisms, argue that plants utilize complex information processing systems. Plants are goal-oriented in an evolutionary and physiological sense; they demonstrate agency and learning. While most studies on plant plasticity, learning, and memory deal with the responsiveness of individual plants to resource availability and biotic stresses, adaptive information is often perceived from and coordinated with neighboring plants, while competition occurs for limited resources. Based on existing knowledge, technologies, and sustainability principles, climate-smart agricultural practices are now being adopted to enhance crop resilience and productivity. A deeper understanding of the dynamics of plant behavior offers a rich palette of potential amelioration strategies for improving the productivity and health of natural and agricultural ecosystems.
新发现的植物行为与历史观察、当代技术以及信号机制的新知识相关联，表明植物利用复杂的信息处理系统。从进化和生理学的角度来看，植物具有目标导向性；它们表现出能动性和学习能力。虽然大多数关于植物可塑性、学习和记忆的研究都涉及单个植物对资源可用性和生物胁迫的反应，但适应性信息通常是从邻近植物那里感知并与之协调的，而竞争则是为了有限的资源。基于现有的知识、技术和可持续性原则，现在正在采用智能农业实践来提高作物的弹性和生产力。深入了解植物行为的动态为改善自然和农业生态系统的生产力和健康提供了丰富的潜在改善策略。
