| Book Description | Through her contact with indigenous forest people and their cultures, Suzanne Simard, a professor of environmental science and forestry at the University of British Columbia in Canada, discovered networks that extend into the ground, connecting tree roots to each other. Nutrients are transferred through these networks between trees in different seasons, climates, and environments. These networks contain simple and complex organisms that contribute to biodiversity and enrich the soil with elements necessary for trees to flourish. These organisms provide trees too with antioxidants that protect them from natural pests and fires. Trees are also able to send warning messages through the fungal network to other trees, and if they are unable to continue, they pass on their last remaining nutrients to the seedlings and trees around them. This is what “mother trees” do, meaning old trees, a name that has been used by the indigenous people before Simard for decades. Mother trees take care of young seedlings from their early stages of growth until they grow up and can rely on themselves. The latter will then reproduce, take care of their young seedlings, and become tree mothers as well. |
