the researchers recorded both healthy and stressed tomato and tobacco plants using microphones. They conducted experiments in a soundproof chamber and later in a greenhouse with background noise. The plants were stressed in two ways, by withholding water for several days and by cutting their stems. The team then trained a machine learning algorithm to distinguish between healthy plants, dehydrated plants, and cut plants.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Wow that’s my favorite song
I bet that wet brick sounds in a different way than a dry one.
You mean dry bricks scream in agony!
So YOU mean the wet bricks scream with … pleasure?
ur a wet brick lol
I’ve known about the Screaming Trees for decades.
I recall in college about 14 years ago we spoke about the electric impulses in plants and how they change in reaction to stress
I thought they found this over a decade ago?
Now it’s reproducible bullshit.
Research has to be repeatable
Now I want to hook up a mic to my succulents and run a local ML model on a raspberry pi to water it.
Don’t water your Raspberry Pi.
Yeah, you’re supposed to bake pie
