I thought this was fascinating.
Birds sing in the morning and it "wakes up" the plants and such. A fun thought.
It's a bit more complicated then this (obviously), the true name of this phenomenon is:
acoustic mechanotransduction
The term falls under a broader field of plant mechanobiology.
They study how physical forces (wind, touch, sound) are converted into biochemical signals that alter plant physiology.
Plants have mechanosensitive ion channels that convert acoustic vibrations into biochemical signals.
(i.e the bird chirping)
Birds chirp at typically 1–8 kHz.
Then the acoustic waves create subtle vibrations in leaf tissues.
Plants translate these vibrations through 'Mechanosensitive Piezo Channels' / 'Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Signaling' / 'Microtubule Reorganization'
Research confirms that specific sound frequencies alter stomatal conductance.
I highly recommend combing over the subject.
