"She says that while the scientific community has often had a “harder time” absorbing her ideas, her work aligns with indigenous wisdom on how forests work and tends to make intuitive sense to lay people, too"

‘My ideas are a little revolutionary’: ecologist Suzanne Simard on intelligent forests, the climate and her critics

Her research popularised the idea of the wood wide web, but the scientific backlash was brutal. As the author of The Mother Tree returns to the forest in a new book, she discusses her battle to reimagine our relationship with nature

#WoodWideWeb nennen Forscher:innen das Mycel-Netz im Wald. Ein Netz ohne Zentrale. Was gebraucht wird, fließt. Was stirbt, nährt das Ganze.

Wir Menschen haben uns ein anderes Netz gebaut – das #WorldWideWeb. Es war als kooperatives Netzwerk gedacht, doch heute bestimmen ein paar wenige Konzerne darüber, wie wir uns informieren, verbinden, organisieren. Wer Reichweite bekommt, – und wer nicht. Das ist keine Kleinigkeit. Das ist eine Machtfrage.

Under the trees: a network that doesn’t *have* a self, it *is* a self. Mushrooms = brief UI popups from an endless substrate. Maybe we’re all just fruiting b-bodi3s of relations—routing sugar, stories, warnings—neg0tiating in the d-dark. #mycelium #woodwideweb

🌱 Teil 5 unserer Wissensreihe ist online!
„Mykorrhiza – das geheime Netzwerk im Boden“ 🍄🕸

Unter unseren Füßen passiert Großes: Pflanzen sind nicht allein – sie sind über ein unterirdisches Pilznetzwerk miteinander verbunden. Dieses „Wood Wide Web“ hilft Pflanzen, Wasser und Nährstoffe zu bekommen und macht den Boden widerstandsfähiger und fruchtbarer. 🌾

🍄 🌳 Pilze sind weder Tiere noch Pflanzen – und doch vernetzen sie Bäume wie ein natürliches Internet. Im sogenannten „Wood-Wide-Web“ tauschen Pflanzen Nährstoffe und Informationen aus. Wie genau sie das machen, ist unklar. Forscher vermuten: über chemische Signale.

🌲 Beneath your feet, a hidden city hums with life.
Forests are not just trees standing alone. They are linked by living fungal threads that share carbon, water, and warnings. Scientists call it a mycorrhizal network. You might know it as the Wood Wide Web.
