❌ La forêt possède un système nerveux coopératif

❌ Faux

Le post

The Wood Wide Web is evident, the forest has a nervous system... Trees in a forest share carbon, water, and chemical distress signals through underground fungal networks. Ancient "Mother Trees" recognise and preferentially support their own seedlings The forest ideally is not competing, rather it's co-operating because it is a network of organisms with shared infrastructure (ecosystems)
