Abstract :
Objective: The research paper aims to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance our understanding of plant responses to environmental factors, optimize agricultural practices, and support sustainable ecosystem management. It reviews current trends, findings, and prospects of AI in plant physiology and ecology. The paper seeks to highlight both the benefits and challenges of using AI in plant science, ultimately contributing to innovative strategies that improve agricultural productivity, resilience, and sustainability amid climate change and global environmental challenges. Methods: To investigate the applications of artificial intelligence in plant ecophysiology, a thorough review of the existing literature was conducted. Relevant research articles, review papers, and technical documents were sourced from reputable academic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The search strategy involved using keywords related to artificial intelligence, plant physiology, plant-environment interactions, machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision. Results: Overall, the results demonstrate the potential of AI to revolutionize plant science research and contribute to addressing critical challenges in plant physiology, ecology, and ecosystem management. Conclusions: The integration of AI in plant ecophysiology offers significant advancements for agriculture and ecosystem management. AI technologies like machine learning can predict plant responses to environmental changes, optimize resource use, and boost crop yields. By enhancing our understanding of plant stress, genetics, and plant-microbe interactions, AI promotes sustainable farming and strengthens ecosystem resilience. This research highlights the transformative potential of AI in advancing plant science, leading to more efficient agricultural practices that contribute to global food security and environmental sustainability.
