RE: Plants are better learners than you might think
It will be interesting to see if folks can find out the mechanism of communication. I've seen articles about trees chemically communicating to others to prepare for pathogen attacks. And some folks have suggested that mycorrhizal mushrooms are involved in communication among trees, too. Plants are so fascinating!
This paper and experience is absolutly amazing! What can we expect to be discovered now in terms of communication"?! Really fascinating organisms :)
As far as I know, mushrooms can have a very important role in trees survival and growth. If mushrooms (fungus) can be one of the largest organisms in the world, why not be involved in communication among trees?
It is so interesting, isn't it! Interconnectivity and chemical transfer is legitimate communication, I think. I think there's a lot more going on underground than we appreciate. There's a lot of science that needs to get done!
