Cn recent years, several studies have shown the existence of a network between plants, called the “Wood Wide Web” and via which they communicate, for example by warning each other of dangers via electrical signals. To do this, the flora uses what is called a mycorrhizal network, that is to say the colonization by the Mycenaean filaments of fungi, of the roots of a plant.
From then on, thanks to this underground network, science had already shown that trees could keep the old stumps of their felled peers alive for centuries, by feeding them a sugar solution through their roots. But now, a new study seems to show that this relationship is even more intense between trees.
