Do trees actually talk to each other? And if so, how do they do it? Just over 20 years ago, ecologist Suzanne Simard discovered that trees do communicate with each other, and it's through a fungal ...

Just over 20 years ago, ecologist Suzanne Simard discovered that trees do communicate with each other, and it's through a fungal network scientists have nicknamed the Wood Wide Web. Simard studied how ...

Trees rely on a network of fungal friends for good health. Mycorrhizal (from the Greek “myco” fungus, and “rhizae” root) fungi occur naturally, and help trees in many ways. The fungi help the trees ...

Beneath the forest floor, a vast network of fungi, known as mycorrhizal networks, connects trees, facilitating the exchange ...

New research is first to show that growth rate of adult trees is linked to fungal networks colonizing their roots. Being highly connected to a strong social network has its benefits. Now a new ...

Independent spanning trees, often realised as completely independent spanning trees (CISTs), form a foundational concept in network design and routing. They consist of multiple spanning trees ...
