About this ebook
""Tree Symbiosis"" reveals the hidden cooperative networks that underpin forest ecosystems. It explores how trees engage in vital partnerships with fungi through mycorrhizal networks, facilitating nutrient exchange and even inter-plant communication. These relationships, also involving nitrogen-fixing bacteria, are crucial for forest health and resilience, impacting carbon sequestration and biodiversity. The book highlights that these symbiotic relationships are essential drivers of forest stability, not just beneficial side effects.
The book progresses from introducing key symbiotic concepts to detailing the roles of mycorrhizal networks and nitrogen-fixing bacteria. It examines evidence of inter-plant communication, such as trees using chemical signals to warn each other of threats. By understanding these intricate tree interactions, we can develop more effective strategies for forest conservation and sustainable forestry practices.
This book offers a unique perspective, challenging traditional views by presenting forests as interconnected communities rather than collections of individuals.
