Leaf damage induces twining in a climbing plant [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2005 Successful climbing by vines not only prevents shading by neighbouring vegetation, but also may place the vines beyond ground herbivores. Here we tested the hypothesis that herbivory might enhance climbing in a vine species, and that such induced climbing should be greater in the shade.

Nature-Based Solutions, 2023 Climbing plants that cover building walls (indirect green façades) are a nature-based solution for urban greening in dense urban areas. Green facades can provide important ecosystem service benefits such as cooling, biodiversity habitat and visualamenity

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 In recent years, the popularity of rock-climbing has grown tremendously, setting an increasing pressure on cliff habitats. Climbing may be particularly harmful in the Mediterranean biome due to its appropriate environmental conditions for climbing. A few

Wind Forces in Overgrown Rope Façades
Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2021 Modern cities face a climatic problem due to the high proportion of sealed surfaces that increase the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Green surfaces offer a way to mitigate the UHI effect, as they positively influence the thermal energy storage and air ...

Decision-Making Underlying Support-Searching in Pea Plants
Plants, 2023 Finding a suitable support is a key process in the life history of climbing plants. Those that find a suitable support have greater performance and fitness than those that remain prostrate.

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 The adsorption of particulate matter (PM) by the leaves of urban plants can effectively reduce the particulate matter concentration in the atmosphere. The use of climbing plants to abate particulate matter is an important means of urban greening in China,
