Do Trees Communicate?

Don't trees only talk to each other in the movies? Professor Suzanne Simard shares her latest research regarding forest ecosystems here. Amazingly, we find that in a forest, 1+1 equals more than 2, as all trees are interconnected with the largest, oldest, "mother trees" serving as hubs. The underground exchange of nutrients increases the survival of younger trees linked into the network of old trees in this fascinating, real-life model of forest resilience and regeneration.
Really interesting talk about how trees share resources in the forest.
Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.
