The Internet of Trees: How the Forest Talks Underground (Wood Wide Web)

Do you think trees live in solitude, only competing for light? What if I told you that, beneath your feet, there's a "social network" more complex than our internet? 🌲🍄 In this video, we delve underground to uncover the Wood Wide Web, the incredible network of fungi (mycorrhizae) that connects the entire forest. Discover how trees exchange nutrients, care for their "offspring," and even send danger alerts through "mother trees." The forest is not just a pile of wood; it's an intelligent and cooperative superorganism. Understanding this changes everything about how we preserve nature and manage the environment.
