There is an intriguing paper relating to this eclipse that has recently been published and cited on spaceweather.com. Giovanni di Giovanni might be especially interested as it refers to the electrical response of spruce trees in the Dolomites to this eclipse: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.241786
“As the eclipse approached, electrical signals from different trees began to align; their waveforms became more similar in shape and timing. This synchronization peaked during the eclipse and gradually diminished afterward. Older trees started showing electrical changes earlier, in some cases hours before the eclipse began, while younger trees responded later and more weakly.
The researchers interpreted this as a coordinated response to a large-scale environmental event, possibly involving communication or shared signaling pathways. ”
