Mechanical ecology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that explores the mechanical aspects of plant ecology, with recent advancements in portable devices allowing for more in-depth biomechanical field studies.
Mechanical ecology is an emerging interdisciplinary field at the intersection of biomechanics and field ecology. The development of ever smaller and more powerful portable devices for measurement and data acquisition has boosted the number of biomechanical field studies in recent years, shedding new light on often neglected, but crucial factors influencing mechanical aspects of plant ecology. This Special Issue showcases recent scientific and technological advances, and highlights the importance of considering the mechanical aspects of plant ecology, as well as putting biomechanical mechanisms into a biologically relevant real-world context.
