What is the article about?
Trees are social creatures, that can talk with each other in cooperative
ways, that hold lessons for humans, too, ecologist Suzanne Simard
say suzanne grew up in Canadian forests, and then she became a
forest ecologist. She is now a professor at the University of British
Columbia.
Trees are linked into neighboring trees by an underground network
of Fungi. In one study Suzanne watched a Douglas Fir (a plant) that was
being attacked
by insects then in some way sent warning signals to a pine tree for
defense enzymes to protect the Douglas Fir against the insects.
