People don’t usually describe plants as ‘moving’ organisms. We often think of landscapes like woodlands as changing little year-to-year, but that’s due to our perception.
Plants exist on a different timeline. Human life, to them, is on fast-forward.
Over long periods (and even some shorter ones), plants move around a great deal, but we didn’t always have evidence for this. Luckily, renowned researcher Keith Kirby shows how Wytham Woods can demonstrate the way plants travel.
On a ramble through the brambles, we’ll learn about the longest record of woodland ground flora change in Britain, and why Keith’s amazing data set continues to be vital for researchers worldwide.
