The capacity to respond at all implies "memory", so this is a beat-up title. However, do the plants obtain sensory input regarding the artificial motion in a similar fashion to that in which they become aware of wind? If so, even given that vicious winds could be damaging (1) different places will inevitably have different wind levels and these could changes seasonally or with microclimatic variation (eg. fallen trees) (2) plants can't exactly get up and move. Therefore, some adaptability with respect to local conditions should be expected. I would be surprised if there isn't more advanced research in this area.
- gshdg 7y agoHow does the capacity to respond imply memory rather than reflex?
- contingencies 7y agoFalse dichotomy. Ongoing actuation requires memory of the past, period. Even if that memory is created in an instant, dispelled after the fact, and otherwise inaccessible.
