水分、光照、温度等环境因子对植物生长的生理效应和植物生长的反应以及类似的功能都有很好的文献记载。有关这些环境条件的几乎所有方面的文献也相当广泛。然而，人们对无处不在的电场环境对植物生长的生理影响却知之甚少。该通信表明，足够高的电场对植物生长和生长响应具有一定的影响。尽管模拟的环境条件被放大了，但可以说，在某些影响电离层电荷平衡的条件下（如核爆炸造成的辐射损害1和其他形式的电离层辐射损害2），这些条件确实可能存在于陆地微气候中。
THE physiological effects on plant growth and plant growth response of environmental factors such as moisture, light, temperature, and similar functions are well documented. Literature relating almost all aspects of these environmental conditions is also quite extensive. Yet little is known of the physiological influence on plant growth of the electric field environment which prevails at all times everywhere. This communication shows that sufficiently high electric fields have a definite effect on plant growth and the growth response. Even though the simulated environmental conditions have been magnified rather grossly, it can be argued that under certain conditions affecting the charge balance in the ionosphere (such as radiation damage due to nuclear explosions1and other forms of ionospheric radiation damage2), these conditions could indeed exist in the terrestrial microclimate.
