According To An Ecologist, Trees Have A Language Of Their Own And Can Talk To Other Trees
Walking around a tree can create a person a healing, regenerating and calming effect which could be felt more and more amongst the areas where trees are gathered; the forests. Suzanne Simard, an ecologist, says that there are many things happening in the forests that we’re not aware of and that they have an interconnected and complicated social connection which is sourced from underground.
"A universe of endless, biological pathways that link trees and enable them to interact, and enable the forest to act as though it were a single organism."
After 30 years researching forests in Canada, Simard discovered that trees can talk with each other over certain distances. She even concluded that trees are very similar with humans as being extremely social and as their survival depends on other trees. Intercommunication in the forest is very critical thing. Mushrooms, via their roots that look like hair, hidden messages are transmitted amongst trees, also those who are in need of water and nutrition can meet their needs through them.
Suzanne would love to lie down and gaze throught ancient trees of British Columbia forests, where she grew up. One day, her dog had an accident and fell into the forest, they needed to get him out of there by digging which caused Suzanne realize the underground connections of trees that she would do studies about later on. During her studies, she discovered that carbon could be transmitted via root of one pine seedling to another root.
