Positive feedback mechanism. A process whereby an initial change in an atmospheric process will tend to either reinforce the process (positive feedback) or weaken the process (negative feedback). See Feedback mechanism.
The transmission of a signal through the nervous system can also be considered an example of long-distance signaling. Local signaling in plants is not well understood. Because of their cell walls, plants must have different mechanisms from animals. Plants and animals use hormones for long-distance signaling. In animals, specialized endocrine cells release hormones into the circulatory system, by which they travel to target cells in other parts of the body. Plant hormones, called growth regulators, may travel in vessels but more often travel from cell to cell or move through air by diffusion.
