Krystal - Trees Talk To Each Other

Today I read an aticle about how "Trees Talk To Each Other" Suzanne Simard was interviewed and was asked how trees talk to each other. Suzanne says "Trees talk through to each other in many ways" Suzanne grew up in Canadian forests as a descendant of loggers before becoming a forestry ecologist. I also did a glossary. A glossary are words you don't know the meaning to. If you know what else I did read below! 

Trees Talk To Each Other Friday 7th May 

What is this article about? 

Trees are “social creatures that communicate with each other in many ways. Suzanne Simard says. Suzanne grew up in many Canadian forests. Trees are linked to nearby trees, by an underground network of fungi. Suzanne watched as a Douglas fir that had been hurt by insects. The ponderosa pine tree produced enzymes to protect the pine tree from the insects. "This was a breakthrough," Suzanne says. The trees were sharing "information that actually is important to the health of the whole forest." Suzanne says the trees know when the to share nutrients at hard times to keep each other healthy. Trees in the forest are usually linked through each other by a “mother” or a “hub”. While Suzanne was studying about the trees later on she found out she had breast cancer.
