IoT Solution for Winter Survival of Indoor Plants [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Not only does cold climate pose a problem for outdoor plants during winter in the northern hemisphere, but for indoor plants as well: low sunlight, low humidity, and simultaneous cold breezes from windows and heat from radiators all cause problems for indoor plants.

Plant coexistence mediated by adaptive foraging preferences of exploiters or mutualists [PDF]
, 2019 Coexistence of plants depends on their competition for common resources and indirect interactions mediated by shared exploiters or mutualists. These interactions are driven either by changes in animal abundance (density-mediated interactions, e.g., apparent competition), or by changes in animal preferences for plants (behaviorally-mediated interactions)

PlantDoc: A Dataset for Visual Plant Disease Detection [PDF]
, 2019 India loses 35% of the annual crop yield due to plant diseases. Early detection of plant diseases remains difficult due to the lack of lab infrastructure and expertise. In this paper, we explore the possibility of computer vision approaches for scalable and early plant disease detection. The lack of availability of sufficiently large-scale non-lab data

Modeling competitive interactions and plant-soil feedback in vegetation dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Plant-soil feedback is recognized as a causal mechanism for the emergence of vegetation patterns of the same species especially when water is not a limiting resource (e.g. humid environments). Nevertheless, in the field, plants rarely grow in monoculture but compete with other plant species.

Optimal control for the nonlinear Fisher-Kolmogorov system with applications to aquatic plant management [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Spatiotemporal dynamics of populations may be described by the reaction-diffusion Fisher-Kolmogorov model. In this work we have proposed a new formulation for a control problem of aquatic plants in a temporal dynamics. The solution of this problem is extended to a spatiotemporal Fisher-Kolmogorov system with multiple species of plants interacting in ...
arxiv
Sensors, 2019 Water availability is a major limiting factor in plant productivity and plays a key role in plant species distribution over a given area. New technologies, such as terahertz quantum cascade lasers (THz-QCLs) have proven to be non-invasive, effective, and

Exploring Evolving Plants as Interacting Particles in a Randomly Generated Heterogeneous Environment [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We model evolution of plants in a world, made up of different locations, with multiple environments (mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive subsets of locations). Each environment (landmass) has temperature, rainfall, and other attributes that directly affect plant growth and reproduction.

Plant Classification Knowledge and Misconceptions among University Students in Morocco
Education Sciences, 2019 This study aims to assess learning outcomes and identify students’ misconceptions in plant classification. We conducted a questionnaire survey with undergraduate and master’s students. The qualitative analysis of the students’ responses
