Mother trees and socialist forests: is the ‘wood-wide web’ a fantasy? theguardian.com/environment/20…

New Perspective: "Mycoheterotrophy in the wood-wide web" rdcu.be/dFvnV "The prevalence and potential functions of common mycorrhizal networks have been increasingly capturing the interest of science and society, sometimes leading to hyperbole and misinterpretation."

NEW TODAY in nature - A vast DNA tree of life brings open access DNA sequences of >9500 flowering plants! 🧬 This invaluable resource crafted by 279 scientists lets us answer key questions about modern plant life and look back in time to its origins 🌿 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Plant communication encompasses both aboveground and belowground interactions. A new #SciencePerspective argues for more research on what happens belowground, which has thus far received less exploration. scim.ag/6II
