On Plant Affordances

There is a big debate about which perceptual capacities plants may be endowed with. The chapter offers some reflections that may guide future research interested in the claim that plants perceive affordances, i.e., action possibilities offered by the environment. It does so by offering a description of the notion of affordance, addressing the pieces of evidence that are relevant for the study of affordances in plants, and listing some crucial questions for future research in the field of plant affordances.
