Beneath forests lies a vast fungal network connecting trees like an underground internet, enabling nutrient sharing, chemical signaling, and climate regulation. This hidden infrastructure sustains forest health and offers revolutionary potential for agriculture and conservation.
Beneath every forest lies an underground fungal network connecting trees in a biological internet that shares nutrients, transmits danger warnings, and creates collective resilience far beyond what individual trees could achieve alone.
Plants possess sophisticated intelligence without brains, using distributed signaling networks to make decisions, learn from experience, and communicate through chemical and electrical signals. Research reveals plants navigate obstacles, remember threats, coordinate defenses, and share resources through underground fungal networks—the "Wood Wide Web." This understanding is revolutionizing agriculture through mechanical cultivation techniques, VOC-based pest management, and precision sensing. ...
