The Hidden Life of Trees
did you know...
when animals begin eating the leaves of a tree
that tree gives off a scent to warn other trees nearby
causing them to produce toxins in their leaves
to discourage the animals?
when insects feed on a tree the
tree "tastes" the insect's saliva...recognizing the
species...and sends out scents that attract
the predators of that insect?
in a forest...if one tree isn't well the
neighboring trees will send nutrients
via their root systems to support the ailing
tree?
scientists have recorded sounds emitting
from the root system of trees thought to
be a form of communication?
this book....
a MUST read
