Celebrating #WorldWideWebDay 🌐 with a twist!
🤖 'I-Wood': the forest intelligence inspired by the #WoodWideWeb that will mimic plants' communication, movement & behavior.
🌍🌳 While we surf the digital web, let's not forget to appreciate the green web beneath our feet!

were like
I will have to speak
in a forgotten language”

scientists know that mushrooms stay connected with the environment and the organisms around them using a kind of “internet” communication. You may have heard this referred to as the wood wide web.

"We were actually making the #forests sick by taking out the #plants that they needed to get through post-disturbance and succession. Those plants have roles in #ecosystems." Suzanne Simard about #Mother #Trees, #kin recognition, and how to #heal our separation from the living world.

Finding the Mother Tree | An Interview with Suzanne Simard who perhaps popularised the term Wood Wide Web

https://emergencemagazine.org/interview/finding-the-mother-tree/

'groups of plants do associate with each other. There are plant associations. They like to grow together. Birch and fir are like that. Birch has all these other features—like it harbors bacteria that are antagonistic to pathogenic fungi in the soil. And so, Douglas fir loves being around birch because it’s healthy.'

Wow, I already heard of self-organising #Blobs and experiments using them for future computer technology. I listened to the wonderful #forestEcologist Suzanne Simard talking about the #WoodWideWeb.

Now" a team of #researchers at Johannes Kepler University has found that the skin of a certain kind of #mushroom can be used as a #biodegradable base for #computerChips." #Mushrooms are indeed #mindblowing! https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2022/11/mushroom-skin-could-be-made-into-biodegradable-computer-chips/#.Y3lH422ajW8.link #fungi #sporespondence #mycelium #hyphae #future #sustainability

Interesting scientific debate regarding the #woodwideweb and #Mycorrhizal #communication in #forests..

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/07/science/wood-wide-web-trees-fungi-talking.html

As a #tolkien fan and a #psycholinguist, I'm only slightly disappointed.. :)

Thanks to @Carl_Zimmer for linking to this paper in that other place..

Suzanne Simard ikerlari kanadiarrak CO₂ erradioaktiboa eman zien urki batzuei. Bi urteren ondoren CO₂ horren %6 mikorriza (onddo-sustrai elkarketa sinbiotiko mutualista) bidez konektatutako izeietan aurkitu zuen. Izeiei itzala jarri zienean, fotosintesi ahalmena mugatuz, karbono gehiago jaso zuten urkiengandik. Landare espezie ezberdinek baliabideak komunitatean partekatzen dituzte beharraren arabera. #WoodWideWeb #EntangledLife

Merlin Sheldrakeren "#EntangledLife - How fungi make our worlds, change our minds, and shape our futures" irakurtzen. Interesgarria. Orri honetan zientzialariek naturareriko behar duten umiltasunaz eta ezagutzen ez nuen #WoodWideWeb kontzeptua: landare eta onddoek osatzen dute sinbiosi sarea. Onddoek fosforoa, nitrogenoa... landareei eman eta trukean fotosintesi bidez sortutako azukre eta lipidoak jaso. Landareek beren artean elikagaiak eta seinaleak konpartitzeko ere bai
