Did you know that trees can communicate with each other underground?

Through a vast network of fungi called the “Wood Wide Web,” trees share nutrients, water, and even warning signals. When a tree is attacked by insects, it can send chemical alerts through this fungal network, prompting nearby trees to produce defensive chemicals in advance. Older “mother trees” have even been observed supporting younger saplings by transferring extra nutrients, helping forests survive as cooperative ecosystems rather than collections of isolated plants.
