Beneath every forest floor lies a vast, invisible web of communication that
links trees in ways scientists are only beginning to understand. Through these underground “internet cables,” plants exchange nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen, warn one another of drought or pests, and sometimes even compete or deceive. This discussion with a team of Weston HS students dedicated to science and technology education will examine how mycelium and root networks reshape our understanding of forests and what these living connections may teach us about conservation, ethics, and the balance between mutual aid and individual survival.
