Although plants are supposed to restrict the performance of radio frequency transceiver systems (which is why the Wi-Fi signal becomes weaker in forests), they can also act as efficient biogenic elements, according to a study by an international team of scientists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MFTI, for its acronym in Russian) and Tel Aviv University.
