Скачать или смотреть Wood Wide Web: How Forests Communicate, Cooperate & Stay in Balance

This video reveals the hidden “internet” beneath the forest floor—an underground mycorrhizal network popularly known as the Wood Wide Web. By linking tree roots with thread-like fungal hyphae, this living web shuttles nutrients, chemical warnings and even electrical signals between species, maintaining a dynamic balance of competition and cooperation. Viewers learn how “mother trees” support seedlings, how drought-stricken pines request water from neighbors, and why a diverse fungal community is essential for carbon storage and climate resilience. Recent research—including 2025 field studies that tracked synchronous responses of spruce trees during a solar eclipse—adds fresh evidence that forests behave more like interconnected organisms than isolated trees. Perfect for nature lovers, ecologists and anyone curious about cutting-edge forest science, the film calls for conservation strategies that protect not just individual trees but the relationships that bind entire ecosystems together.
