She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother

15、trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest “We didnt take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give th
