Certain plants produce audible sound through cavitation under water stress

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Multiple studies demonstrate that plants emit acoustic signals—frequently detected as ultrasonic acoustic emissions—resulting from xylem cavitation caused by water stress or drought.

The analysis

The claim states that certain plants produce sound (acoustic emissions) through cavitation under water stress. The retrieved literature extensively supports this, discussing how ultrasonic acoustic emissions and acoustic pulses originate from xylem cavitation events during drought and water-deficit conditions. Therefore, the verdict is SUPPORTED.
