Do trees talk to each other?

in #trees5 years ago

Surprisingly, the answer to this question is yes. Trees really interact with each other, although they may seem like tall and silent types.

Ecologist from the University of Columbia, UK As a result of his work in the forests of North America, Suzanne Simard determined that the mushrooms that live with them under the trees have established this network.

The mycorrhizal mushroom network of large old trees called mother trees plays a key role in supporting other trees in the forest, and in particular the survival of their lineage.

If you have children, you will recognize them and determine your behavior with a certain pattern. Researchers have noticed that trees behave in exactly the same way. According to Simard, in order to make room for their children, they arranged their competitive behavior and transmitted signals through the mycorrhizal fungal network.

Again, the findings showed that older and older trees had more communication with the others than the younger ones. This is due to the fact that the roots are much more advanced.

In other words, if a new seedling is planted next to one of such mother trees in the forest, this seedling will be able to connect with an incredible source. According to Simard, this cork web not only connects trees but also other species belonging to the same nature community.
