Varying forms of plants are able to grow in a vast number of places and environments. Plants grow in the ocean, all throughout the land, and are able to sustain life in space. The environments that the plants survive in are varied greatly as well. Different species react differently to exterior forces such as noise, temperature, and nutritional availability. People blame the differences of plant growth in urban areas from rural areas on pollution. Another factor that comes into play could be the constant vibration forces stressed upon those growths by the constant movement occurring from automobiles and other noises. Heavy amounts of vibration have been seen to be both harmful and helpful to life forms. Vibration therapy has been shown to increase bone density in a number of mammals such as deer and humans.

Whereas plants may either develop denser, stronger, cellular structures or acquire some sort of developmental problem due to the frequencies exerted upon it. Vibration, in terms of
