Abstract Plant electrostimulation is a very efficient method for evaluation of biologically closed electrical circuits in plants. The information gained from plant electrostimulation can be used to elucidate and observe the intracellular and intercellular communication in the form of electrical signals within plants. Monitoring the electrical signaling in higher plants represents a promising method to investigate fast electrical communication during environmental changes. Here we discuss DC methods of plant electrostimulation and describe a new Charge Stimulation Method in plant electrophysiology. It is often convenient to represent the real electrical and electrochemical properties of biointerfaces with idealized equivalent electrical circuit models consisting of discrete electrical components. Biologically closed electrical circuits in plants can be investigated using th
