Did you know? 🌳🗣️
Some trees can “talk” to each other through an underground network often called the “Wood Wide Web”! 🍄🌍
Using tiny threads of fungi known as mycorrhizae, trees and plants share water, nutrients, and even chemical messages beneath the soil. 🧬💧
This hidden communication system connects trees in a forest, allowing them to warn each other about pests, help their young grow, and even support sick or struggling neighbors by sharing nutrients. Older “mother trees” often play a key role in nurturing surrounding saplings. 🌱❤️
This incredible network shows how forests are not just collections of individual trees, but interconnected communities working together to survive and thrive. It's like nature's own social network powered by fungi and rooted in cooperation! 🌲🤝
