植物是神奇的生物体。它们约占地球上所有生物量的 80%，在几乎所有生态系统中发挥着重要作用，并通过提供庇护所、氧气和食物来支持人类和其他动物。尽管如此，许多人还是倾向于忽视植物，这种现象被称为“植物盲”。在这里，我们探讨植物盲症背后的原因，讨论为什么有些人相对不受其影响，并促进植物科学教育以克服这种现象，并提高更广泛社区对植物重要性的认识。 摘要 许多人往往忽视植物在生物圈中的重要性。这种现象被描述为“植物盲”，这个术语是 20 年前提出的，指的是一个人无法注意到植物和/或欣赏它们的重要性。为了探究为什么有些人似乎对植物盲症免疫，我们在 Twitter 上询问植物科学家为什么他们对植物感兴趣。许多人回答说，他们的兴趣源于早期的生活经历或学校老师的启发。其他人则被与植物科学相关的科学学科所吸引，或重视植物对全球生态系统和人类文明的贡献。基于这些轶事和其他研究人员的实证研究结果，我们认为植物应该在生物教育中发挥更核心的作用，从早期到大学及以后。此外，作为植物科学家，我们应该尽最大努力提高人们对植物迷人方面及其在更广泛的社区中对人类事务的重要性的认识。 植物是神奇的生物体。它们约占地球上所有生物量的 80%，在几乎所有生态系统中发挥着重要作用，并通过提供庇护所、氧气和食物来支持人类和其他动物。尽管如此，许多人还是倾向于忽视植物，这种现象被称为“植物盲”。在这里，我们探讨植物盲症背后的原因，讨论为什么有些人相对不受其影响，并促进植物科学教育以克服这种现象，并提高更广泛社区对植物重要性的认识。
Plants are amazing organisms. They make up around 80% of all biomass on Earth, play important roles in almost all ecosystems, and support humans and other animals by providing shelter, oxygen, and food. Despite this, many people have a tendency to overlook plants, a phenomenon known as “plant blindness.” Here, we explore the reasons behind plant blindness, discuss why some people are relatively unaffected by it, and promote education around plant science to overcome this phenomenon and raise awareness of the importance of plants in the wider community. Summary Many people tend to overlook the importance of plants in the biosphere. This phenomenon is described as “plant blindness,” a term proposed 20 years ago to denote the inability of a person to notice plants and/or appreciate their significance. To explore why some people seem immune to plant blindness, we asked plant scientists on Twitter why they became interested in plants. Many replied that their interest developed from early experiences in life or inspiring teachers at school. Others were attracted to the scientific disciplines related to plant science or valued the contribution of plants to global ecosystems and human civilization. Based on these anecdotes and the empirical findings of other researchers, we argue that plants should play a more central role in biological education, from the early years to university and beyond. Furthermore, as plant scientists, we should do our best to raise awareness about the fascinating aspects of plants and their importance in human affairs within the wider community.
