Tree Communication

Tree communication, primarily through a process called "mycorrhizal networks" or the "wood wide web," involves underground connections between trees and fungi. These networks allow trees to share nutrients, water, and chemical signals with each other. When a tree is threatened by pests or drought, it can send warnings to neighboring trees via these connections, prompting them to activate defenses. This natural system highlights how trees are interconnected and can cooperate within forests, supporting overall ecosystem health and resilience.
