Mother Tree

[@pepe256r]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been telling people this for the longest time! The forestry commission, people who deal with wild areas, all totally ignorant of this truth, so many trees cut - so much pain. Maybe with this research it will stop this needless distruction of trees everywhere, this is my heart felt wish!

[@bumonthecorner13]

That because people dont get into a field of work for love anymore, if they did people like you and me would be those people!

[@fatcatpunk94]

Fuck you my dad works in forest cutting trees and Geuss what they grow back 🤯

[@DeadlyDanDaMan]

You seem to be under the delusion that there is some sort of emotional interaction going on between these trees. That's not the case at all. Communication DOES NOT EQUAL emotion. Trees and plants DO NOT have the capacity to form emotions. Seriously, you should probably be on some sort of fucking anti-psychotic medicine.

[@mcglass7573]

What a gem ! The research Suzanne Simard has done shows that trees are individuals but not in the way that Darwin suggested individuals competing, survival of the fittest ,," in fact they are interacting with each other trying to help each other survive. " What a gem,,thank you !

I grew up in a densely wooded area and always felt a benign presence surrounding me, protecting me and comforting me. Thus I have never felt alone in the woods but in cities. The great spirit, of which all indigenous peoples speak, is real, was real and will be real, with or without us being part of it. Time to choose, humanity!

[@TheNewLemurian]

I am happy to learn that this has now been proven. The Trees have told us that they gain access to information through their network of roots. The older the tree is the deeper their roots are. They are the Living Libraries of the earth and you can ask them any question and you'll get an answer instantaneously. Read 'Tree Talk' by Dianne Robbins. I have great respect for those who spend their time to educate people on the true nature of trees. Oribel

[@DreamingWorlds]

Thank you Dan, Julia, and Suzanne!

[@MegaMusicNotes]

Amazing insightful information! Thank you for sharing!!! I always loved trees, since I was very little. I hugged these protective giants. I always feel so small and secure next to them. How lucky we are we have Nature!

[@Gallysha]

Thank you

[@ansuajo]

Genocide and demeaning indigenous peoples you mean to say.

[@TheSamuraicoach]

This is simply more evidence showing us that all of life is inter-connected. We are all one life...not separate energies, but communal and unified.

[@TreesCanHelp]

Very interesting and considering all the wonderful discoveries we have made in nature it is not all that surprising, it makes sense; everything is connected!

[@kshitijpratapsingh9855]

Feel very sad by seeing those cut down trees.

[@narongchaiyatha1501]

You have done very good contributions for all creatures

[@MoriahWalter]

Yes ..yes..yes...she is talking about what I already knew in the deep recess of my Being...

[@creationcanopy]

great vid. love the "zelda-like treasure box" sound effect

[@jenniferlauren6914]

Thanks! I need this for my current event

[@555veritas]

Beautiful, and amazing work.

[@Moonbeam143]

This is great, I love trees.

[@arvoresvivas7213]

Acho demasiado importante este conhecimento. Parabéns pela capacidade que tem em nós demonstrar esta sabedoria.

[@nightbluehorse]

great work!

[@infiniteinfiniteinfi]

Competition leads to tyranny and scarcity. Cooperation leads to freedom and prosperity.

[@Zach-si1gf]

infiniteinfiniteinfi If only we could change the competitive mindset our Western society has placed on us.

[@RosyOutlook2]

We can, with the power of one, if we all don't participate in competition and stop watching it.

[@KnowRattle]

Interesting thank you for sharing.

[@CilmaMQ]

Thank you, very interesting and touching..

[@pardahlsten4324]

I visit a mother pine tree she stands alone in a farming fieldI usually don't like to do my meditation outside. Because I need to have a totally silent, no light and laying. But found out that mother pine has a root pillow when I facing south. So unbelivebele good laying down feeling. If I can feels the mother pines energy. My hole me has been so hard shoot down of narcissists and psychopaths. So only time I can feel it is when I is clean in my shackras and in right mood for connecting.

[@JewelsPearlsASMR]

Wonderful work! A "Mother Tree"...........we need to take care of our mother trees and mother earth. Congrats from a microbiologist to you! Have you considered a TED talk?

[@positivehobo]

In regards to her statement about Darwin being wrong about his idea of "survival of the fittest," I believe she is somewhat confused. All that matters in the end is that the tree is able to pass on its genes to the next generation, and for that generation to live to pass its own genes on, and so forth. This symbiotic relationship between the fungi and trees of differing species is in fact beneficial to each individual tree's survival and its ability to pass on its genes. Also, communication requires an exchange of information or more importantly, the ability to process said information and react to it. There is no meaning imparted by one tree to the other. The two may be affecting and reacting to one another, however it does not suffice for communication.

[@RosyOutlook2]

You're confused.

[@Thaulopi]

One of the many humans on this planet who listens to mother culture too much. Ishmael would agree, dont you think?

[@cognophile]

Her research shows that the trees communicate and transfer resources such as carbon and nitrogen to each other via the mycelium.

[@semasiologistics]

What she is saying is true, there is a network beneath the forest, known as Mycelium, however it is also true that trees can put out poison that kills other plants and tress. It's not some "big loving superorganism." It's just that on a very fundamental level, they are connected and can share very basic components, like what she says. The rest is just metaphor.

[@WenRolland]

Great video! If you have more footage of this, I would love to see it!

[@vidsnipa]

The Tree by Colin Trudge . He explains the communication extremely well. This lady works with a forest that has only 9 species of tree. In tropical forest there can be thousands and the communication is obvious.

[@bigthene5er6ish]

This is crazy significant proof that we are not the dominate life forms that we think we are!

[@RoyCyberPunk]

This is straight out of Avatar amazing!

[@nuvivliu]

We are all one. Division is an illusion.

[@deannwia]

You are definitely, the Lorax.

[@Morgazmz]

oldest source of this lady telling this story I can find in 2022

[@DianeMEmerson]

Here is her recently published book: Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest By Suzanne Simard Penguin Random House (2021)

[@KnightBiologist]

Interesting video and viewpoint from professor Simard. There's some interesting material about the fungal connections (mycorrhizal root associations) over at TED talks. re: Paul Stamets. There's certainly a lot more science to be done so let's protect what old-growth forest we have left.

[@phishmanmm]

In celebration of World Environment day!

[@andriikovalov1777]

That's really amazing! What's the point of transferring CO2 to young trees? They have limited sunlight, but the concentration of CO2 should be the same, and they should be able to get it from the atmosphere. Probably it's not CO2, but the carbohydrates (photosynthesis product) being transported?

[@Blue_Azure101]

Exactly

[@jwmarco21]

how amazing

[@xiTzRenrag]

Where is a link to the peer reviewed journal?

[@pavlikm85]

The keyword you're looking for is 'mycorrhiza'.

[@lindaeastman4706]

T Garner It took me less than one minute to find this: scholar.google.ca/citations?user=97BbXH4AAAAJ&hl=en

[@ansuajo]

Also this is aboriginal knowledge that has been rediscovered in the language of science so credit the indigenous ancestral knowledge about forest organisms and tree people

[@meawbara]

where can i find more information about this? a paper or something? thank you.

[@danachos]

Please add captions for those who need them!! #withcaptions

[@jinyipan148]

well, if there is a disease, can we just give mother tree an inflection and the mother tree will send the medicine to its kins and cure them?

[@bleutuber]

I cannot post a link here. I get an error message. All you need to do is go to google and search this: fungus does not transfer wiley Look. It was a nice idea, but nice ideas don't always pan out. Let's see more thorough research from Simard

[@stephanieperlowski8102]

Yes in deed

[@EarthWindFireIce]

@bleutuber If you are going to site research, could you please at least include a link to it, or some sort of reference so that others could look up your source?

[@dudleybarker2273]

wonderful Dan, thank you. is this part of a larger series? i got interested in the fungi network through #PaulStamets . there is just so much about the life of trees that we know almost nothing about, and yet owe our very lives to.

[@estebancorral5151]

This what Paul Stammets wrote in his book "Mycellium Running." Is claiming it is her discovery?

[@joshualnel4796]

Heard a sample of this prof talking on a vapourwave album. So glad I finally found where it was from. In case you're interested - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX2wgJRrl9SSpM0

[@bleutuber]

Subsequent research has shown that this "communication" does not really happen: "We conclude that carbon flow in the AM symbiosis is normally unidirectional from plant to fungus and that while carbon is translocated by the fungus from one metabolically active root system to another, it remains within the intraradical mycelium (IRM)"

[@amandadube156]

this is why I'm a meatarian. I can't stand the thought of murdering the beautiful, sentient plants for food....

Could you subittle this? It can be in English

[@bongemusic]

What is funji?

[@MrSaxyBlue]

fungi is the plural of fungus. She did not mention the name of the network of interconnection which the fungi share with trees & other plants - mycelium. Living in the woods has given us the chance to see & learn that what she says is vey true! We are living among the trees & trying to save them from being destroyed for mining by Rock Quarry and/or Fracking. Mature forests are also an outstanding way to offset CO2 and sequester carbon. Please help if you can - Thanks! igg.me/at/bff/x

[@mark747100]

Ha ha. I thought I heard the trees talking. I think they were talking about me.

[@musick2138]

well, even before i learned of the Wood Wide Web and Mothertrees, it did occur to me, that 'altruism' could be seen as the 'egoism' of more 'intelligent/enlightened' beings. == A link to the peer reviewed journal would be nice-2-have.

[@cindycox57]

Darwin??? God created them, I think trees are awesome but I do not worship them as some apparently do 😐

[@StellaMoon777]

I know someone who has a tree with fungi in her crotch.

[@RosyOutlook2]

You

[@StellaMoon777]

No, I don't have the tree. My friend does.

[@diracleo]

nah dude trees don't have computers!
