CLEMSON \u2014 Clemson University researchers say the public can help collect scientific information about the effect of Monday\u2019s eclipse on plants\u00a0for future generations.<\/p>\n

This will be the first time\u00a0since 1918<\/a>\u00a0a total eclipse will cross the entire United States.\u00a0Douglas Bielenberg<\/a>, a Clemson plant physiologist, said because total solar eclipses are so rare, not many biological observations have been made on what takes place during totality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is very little organized information related to what happens to plants, during a total solar eclipse,\u201d Bielenberg said. \u201cThis will be a great opportunity for people to make and record observations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because most of the obvious visible action will be taking place in the skies, Bielenberg said people will tend to \u201clook up and not down.\u201d But just as much action could be taking place on the ground as in the skies. Plant circadian rhythms could be affected and plants could attempt to get in their night positions even though night is still some hours away.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who have gardens can look for the leaves on the plants to droop, or get in their night positions,\u201d Bielenberg said. \u201cBecause we don\u2019t have much information from previous solar eclipses and because this solar eclipse will happen so quickly, we don\u2019t know if plants will be affected. It will be great if people can check to see if their plants act as it was night.\u201d<\/p>\n

People can look for leaves folding or flowers that usually just open at night opening during the day. Some common plants that may show movements induced by the eclipse include legumes and Albizia (silk tree).<\/p>\n

Bielenberg advises people to observe their plants for a few evenings before the eclipse so that they will know what changes to look for during the eclipse.<\/p>\n

Then they can upload photos they take of their plants during the eclipse to the NASA Flickr page at\u00a0https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/groups\/nasa-eclipse2017\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bielenberg said they\u00a0can have a little fun by using the leaf canopy of trees as natural pinhole cameras. People observing the eclipse from sites with tree cover can look at the shadows of leaves on the ground. During the partial solar eclipse, tiny spaces between the leaves will act as pinhole projectors, dappling the ground with images of the crescent sun.<\/p>\n

During the eclipse, Clemson horticulturist\u00a0Bob Polomski<\/a>\u00a0will be studying the effect of the\u00a0phenomenon on indoor and outdoor plants.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn response to darkness, the leaves of a prayer plant (Maranta leuconeura) move from a horizontal position to a vertical position, similar to a pair of praying hands,\u201d Polomski said. \u201cShamrock leaves (Oxalis) assume a horizontal position in sunlight and droop down during the night. Other plants are triggered to open their flowers in the evening to release fragrances that attract night-flying pollinators, such as moths. It will be interesting to see if these events occur during the day as the solar eclipse occurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Polomski will try to observe whether the remontant or repeat-flowering Southern magnolias such as Little Gem and Kay Parris will close prematurely during the reduced sunlight of the eclipse. Southern magnolia flowers typically open around 9 a.m. and close by night. A few plants that bloom at night and could be watched for changes during the eclipse are flowering tobacco (Nicotiana alata), moonflower vine (Ipomoea alba), angel\u2019s trumpet (Datura inoxia), night phlox (Zaluzianskya capensis), four-o\u2019clocks (Mirabilis jalapa) and tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa).<\/p>\n

The 2017 total solar eclipse will take about one hour and 40 minutes to cross the entire country. Solar eclipses occur when the moon blocks any part of the sun. Total solar eclipses are only possible on Earth when the sun and moon line up just right and the moon blocks the sun\u2019s entire surface. Partial solar eclipses occur when the alignment is such that the moon blocks only part of the sun. Partial eclipses occur more frequently.<\/p>\n

Experts advise anyone who plans to shoot pictures in order to document plant or animal behavior during the eclipse to not look directly at the sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars or other optical device. In addition, these experts say do not look at the sun through a camera, a telescope, binoculars, or any other optical device while using eclipse glasses or hand-held solar viewers \u2014 the concentrated solar rays will damage the filter and enter a person\u2019s eyes, causing serious injury.
