This is fascinating. Instead of competing for survival, forest trees are sharing.

There is so much that is still to be discovered about communication between plants. I find it fascinating.
Years ago I read of an experiment where scientists attached some type of recording device to a tree in an area where other trees were being cut down. The unaffected tree registered alarm and signs of stress over what was happening around it.

I remember that! I was so upset for the trees! No wonder I am a tree hugger! |

That is fascinating. I wonder if any of the logging companies will ever consider leaving the mother trees.
