What trees reveal when you learn to listen
Written by German forester Peter Wohlleben, this popular science title (published in Australia by Black Inc) draws on decades spent managing a forest in Germany's Eifel mountains. It presents trees not as isolated organisms but as members of connected, communicating communities.
Wohlleben explains how trees share nutrients and warnings through underground fungal networks, sometimes called the "wood wide web", and how they appear to support ageing or injured neighbours. Along the way he questions conventional forestry practice and invites readers to see woodlands as far more social, and far more remarkable, than commonly assumed.
A rewarding read for anyone with an interest in science and nature writing who wants a fresh, accessible perspective on the natural world.
