- Intervention effect Shaking reduced internode dimensions and leaf area in soybean and eggplant.
- Intervention effect Shaking reduced fresh and dry root and shoot weight in soybean and eggplant.
- Intervention effect Periodic seismic treatment inhibited photosynthetic productivity.
- Mechanism The fall in relative growth rate was attributed almost entirely to reduced net assimilation rate.
- Association Leaf area ratio did not account for the relative growth rate decline.
- Intervention effect Seismic stress caused a temporary transpiration decrease followed by partial recovery.
