    We now know that plants communicate through the air, root systems, and mycelial networks. Now I get what indigenous cultures meant when they said that the forest is alive. Not just the plants and animals but its actually operating as a mass of symbiotic organisms. We used to fit into that puzzle much better.
    I bet animals also communicate on a level that we can't even imagine.

    I've worked in the forestry industry and when we had to remove certain invasive plants, the other plants of the same types near by would begin to drop seeds when we started cutting them down so we had to be quick and have multiple people at certain times of the year. So i can definitely confirm that plants talk.

    I experienced this myself: I have a large Monstera plant in my office. One day I noticed an unusual „electric“ smell. When I went to find the source, I found small pests on the leaves of the Monstera. The smell stopped immediately after I removed the pests. In this way, the plant was also somehow communicating with me 😀 .

      Obviously you just care about yourself mainly so if you make sense of what your life is, you think God makes sense to you. Not to most people I'm afraid. Most people suffer and die without ever having anything positive in their short lives. I guess God has his way huh. You must be special compared to everyone in 3rd world countries. So self centered. The world suffers while the ones doing good believe it's all for a purpose. I promise you the people in Gaza aren't happy and think God is doing this for a reason.
      Then there's the fact that religion was forced onto other communities where they didn't believe and were brainwashed. Every colonized country went through this. And with the amount of religions, it seems people can't agree either. Why is your god real but not the ones of other religions? I'm like you, I just don't believe in 1 extra god, yours. The universe has it's ways and we slowly understand more through science. A fictional humanoid didn't have all the power in the world. You have all the answers until you don't and then you say "God has his ways. I'm not him so I can't speak on his behalf." Yet the Bible is that. Humans speaking on behalf on this fictional character.

    I talk to my trees and plants. We had two oaks professionally planted in Oct and the biggest wasnt 'waking up' after winter. I was worried she was dying. Some trees just dont take no matter how well you care for them. I swear i was out there every day telling her it was time to wake up and I needed her to hurry because once April comes we have to get her replaced before the summer heat. Well she did. Took her just a couple days and she budded and started popping leaves. She looks great. I made sure to give her and her sister both a nice shot of tree fertilizer to help them get ready for the summer.

      Wait till you hear about Boquila trifoliolata, this plant is a vine that copies the leaf shape and arrangement of whatever its growing on for camouflage. Someone did an experiment where they had the species grow on fake plastic plants, and they STILL could copy the shape correctly. This means they arent sampling the dna of the host and importing it into their dna in horizontal gene transfer, but that they actually may have the ability to see!

      I know this is just a joke, but there are other ways a plant can get ready! They can start making defense chemicals earlier, or begin shutting down certain organs to prioritize others. They can begin to shift the transport of nutrients to their storage mechanisms (like potato tubers or carrot roots) so if they do get entirely eaten they can regrow from the root. They can also begin to drop seeds early, which improves the chance that their dna can continue through their offspring even if they do end up dying

    In a BBC documentary (Mysteries of Nature) this was already seen and reported in Acacia (?) trees in Africa. When their leaves get eaten by a giraffe, they produce a chemical that makes the leaves taste bitter. Giraffe has 15 minutes before the leaves are inedible. Trees in the neighborhood receive the signal and also start making their leaves bitter. Giraffe has to walk a few miles to the next tree that tastes good, out of reach of the chemical signals of the other trees.

      @IndianArma 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +90

      ​@vanadot all evolution is thousands and millions of random mutations, selected for the ones that are actually helpful. So in this case, one random mutation that led to this adaptation becomes more survivable than its peers, over successive generations it replaces the less well adapted members of its species through a greater survival rate of its offspring and therefore reproduction rate than the ones that don't have the same adaptation. Why do random mutations occur? Because DNA, which us digital in nature, is prone to error in replication like all digital signals.

And when you walked in the room the plants would react to your passing by them and touching them and play random tunes that sounded very musical. If you touched a plant in the other side of the room the other plants you didn't even touch would respond and it sounded like they are communicating... It was pretty cool...

    Plants are different in many ways from animals, but not as different as most people presume that they are. We have been looking at plants from an animal centric perspective, cutting down trees and other plants without any sense of guilt associated with killing living things. We need to appreaciate them better as we have come to do so for other species of animals.

    Plants have also been observed "donating" resources to other plants. And what is wilder, these plants seem to recongnize their own offspring and focus on sending resources to them! Perhaps the warning that a plant gives off is a request for help as much as it is a warning. Basically a "hey man, I'm in a bind, you think you could send some help over?". Who knows how in depth their communication is, and how exciting! A whole other world is operating underneath us and we have yet to even scratch the surface!

      There's a species of tree that can send out pheremones to warn other trees of termites. It only happens once one is infected. And rather than produce sap, to defend its self, it lets the bugs feast on it, while sending out the warning to all the other trees, which start making sap. But the hero tree dies.

      > somehow we think we could communicate with or understand alien languages
      That's because in this scenario there would be an intent to make oneself easily understood on both sides.
      If you take two people from completely disparate cultures and languages and put them together in a room, they'd pretty much always want to figure out how to communicate. But - if you take a random person and dump them in a country with a completely disparate culture and language, they're often going to be the only one who wants to put in any effort to communicate, because everyone else is busy trying to work, shop, commute etc.
      Same with animals - what is the incentive for animals to communicate with us? Usually it's to be fed, and they've nailed that. We might not understand the exact message, but "feed me" is easy enough to understand, as it "if you don't let me outside now, I will end up shitting on your carpet".

    I was an apple/pear picker for 2 decades and once was told by a farmer that he'd made up his mind one year to 'grub up' (ie cut down) a particular block of pear trees that weren't producing much year on year. He made up his mind one day walking around the block and was therefore surprised that year to have a bumper crop, which convinced him not to cut them down. I always felt on a deeply subjective level that old pear trees had almost a personality. Often it was a battle to take the pears, I'd be jabbed in the eye, have branches whip back on me, cuts all up my arms. Somewhat odd because I always felt we were doing the tree a favour by picking its fruit.

    They have also known that Redwood trees will communicate to each other when there is a fire.
    They can detect, spread pheromones or something in the air, the other trees can recognize this, and they produce some kind of "sap" or something, inside the trees, to help protect them, a bit, from the fire.
    And this is why they developed such a stronghold in the places they grow, they out survived their competitors over time.
    I'd say the exact same is true for these plants. They have near rudimentary nervous systems and that would give them an advantage over other plants.

    A very special smell started to fill the entire car, my sister could smell it through the open window when we arrived..

      The plant that made him theorize of a certain degree of sentience in plants was a type of bramble that instead of growing in random directions seemed to aways grow towards the fence of a farm.
      It had thorns and would sometimes catch sheep and the sheep wouldn't be able to escape without external help.
      If no one help the sheep would die and the nutrients would be absorbed by the plant, and even if it was not considered a carnivorous plant like a venus flytrap it was "hunting" the sheep by growing in the direction of the farm.

    Plants don’t just communicate with other plants, but also with a complex ecosystem of microorganisms that live around, on top and even inside of the plant. I’m actually working on a project for my Master’s thesis that aims to decode the meaning/ function of a molecule that is secreted by a fungus, which grows into/ colonizes the roots of diverse plant species and can have beneficial effects on their growth, nutrient acquisition and can even protect its plant host from pathogens. The chemical signals that plants and their microbiome exchange is mind-bogglingly complex and still very poorly understood. In a similar way in which plants communicate with their microbiome, we humans communicate with the microbiome living in our guts or on the surface of our skin. It’s really quite fascinating. Everything is communicating, we just haven’t been very aware of it.

      Any consciousness that plants might have would be virtually nothing like that of animals. But it's fascinating that our assumption that it doesn't exist might be wrong.
      Also, *we* rarely communicate consciously with our microbiome-after all, we didn't realize that we could, so didn't try to chemically give it 'orders'-so it wouldn't be unreasonable for even a sentient plant to not be consciously communicating with its own microbiome, but to chemically do so nonetheless.

      "...the work being pioneered by Buchmann and his contemporaries could force an ethical reckoning with how the animals are treated.
      Commercially managed bees are considered livestock by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and are treated as a workhorse for food production, just as cattle in feedlots serve the beef industry. This mechanized approach to pollination makes no allowances for the kinds of revelations about bees’ emotional lives that scientists like Buchmann have recently discovered.
      “Bees are self-aware, they’re sentient, and they possibly have a primitive form of consciousness,” writes Buchmann. “They solve problems and can think. Bees may even have a primitive form of subjective experiences.”
      Evidence supporting insect sentience offers clues to what may be driving “colony collapse disorder”, in which entire honeybee hives die within a single season - a phenomenon that has caused the population of these essential pollinators to precipitously drop over the last two decades. While the cause has been primarily attributed to pesticide use, Buchmann and other scientists argue the decline is also due to psychological stress caused by the brutal practices of industrialized agriculture."

    Years ago, I planted a beautiful lavender colored hybrid rose shrub that, sadly, struggled to survive. Every solution I tried failed & it slowly withered away. One day I noticed a morning glory vine wrapping it's tendrils around one of the rose's branches. A few days later the rose shrub had significantly perked up & greened. And began forming buds. Somehow I knew the MGlory vine's contact mattered. Within a short time the rose bush was beautiful & thriving again. I just kept the MGlory's vines lightly pruned so that it wouldn't completely suffocate the rose shrub. The two bloomed & grew together beautifully that year. And I sowed MGlory seeds next to the rose bush every year after.

    My goats browse clearings, roadsides and wander through the forest like deer. They usually browse on something then move on without killing it, unless they are hungry and not finding enough, when they might eat too much of one plant or its bark.
    In winter in Vermont, with snow cover, they eat a lot of Hemlock needles and nibble on tree bark. They seem to detect a signal that a sapling or branch, or a patch of saplings, has had enough and move on.
    They get more excited about reaching older hemlock branch tips than saplings, such as mature high branches bent down by the snow (or by me, if the little one can't reach anything!) They don't eat much of any one branch, UNLESS it is already broken, maybe snapped off or cracked by the wind. Then they methodically eat almost all the branchlets, seeming to detect that this branch is dying already.

      Some trees are highly competitive with other species and will do whatever is possible to kill others, like black walnut producing and secreting toxins into the soil that kills other vegetation or jack pines that incite stand replacing fires.
      “Communication” between individuals may be anthropomorphizing it a little too much, but trees are very inter-connected and some rely on each other.

Chesterton’s words when he said that only the truth can be exaggerated because nothing else can stand so strong - nothing else can stand the strain. And perhaps that is why Chesterton says that the test of good religion is whether you can joke about it.
      “Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly.
      -- G. K. Chesterton
      This has been always the instinct of Christendom, and especially the instinct of Christian art. Yet I am puzzled that Ezekiel 28:13 specifically states, “You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every stone of great worth covered you: ruby, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, chrysolite, turquoise, and emerald. And you had beautiful objects of gold. They were made for you when you were made.” I wonder what the psuedogravity of these distorted crystals would reveal if they were arranged properly, according to the Lord’s Will?

    i recently read The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben. this joyful book and his other writing covers how plants are way more sentient than we give them credit for, all because they live on a different timeline than us! he does this in such a lovely whimsical way. they live for hundreds sometimes thousands of years, so they communicate with electrical signals that travel at the speed of a third of an inch a second. they produce chemicals that reduce pain, implying they experience such things and the tips of their roots contain cells that behave like our brain cells. it’s all very fascinating and i have slipped right down this rabbit hole about trees and ancient forests! if you’re curious about the topic i highly recommend peters work.

    My hypothesis is that the signal is not just for other plants to warn them but maybe also a signal for help. The predators can come remove the caterpillars or whatever is eating them, but maybe other plants can send another chemical signal back that may somehow scare away the caterpillars or whatever directly. I don’t know…I’m sure there’s more to the story…and it’s really cool that scientists are making these discoveries!
    I also think we should study the effects of these compounds on animals, particularly us humans. Maybe there’s more that can explain the health beneficial effects of being in nature. Of course, be careful how you present the research so as not to alert big pharma to go synthesize, patent, and sell these molecules for profit. Clearly, bug pharma doesn’t understand that plant medicine typically works best in plant form and not isolated molecules derived from the plant. Take cannabis for example; isolated THC has all sorts of problems - causing psychosis is one of them! But in the plant, it’s balanced with other molecules (terpenes, etc.) that modify its effects such that it’s much more pleasant, rarely causing psychosis.

    For 10 years I lived in a little studio cottage that had 2 enormous pine trees right behind it. I adored them. Felt like they watched over me.
    One day the toilet began to gush water from the seal, all over the floor until it flooded. Turned out the tree roots had grown into the plumbing, looking for water. When the plumber came out, removed the toilet and was pulling the roots out through the hole in the floor I almost fainted. It seemed so painful for them. He said whenever this happened, they'd have to come back every 6 months or so to do it again and again because once the trees found water, they would keep growing that way.
    The trees were about 50 feet tall, very large and old, so thankfully it was never a consideration to remove them. But I could not handle seeing that process of pulling out their roots over and over.
    When he left, I went back and talked to the trees, explained the situation and begged them to stop growing into the pipes, so we wouldn't have to do that to them again.
    That was during my first year living there. It never happened again, in my 10 years there. The landlord would ask about it every so often, but that was it, they never bothered any underground plumbing or anything else again. When my landlord wondered why it had stopped, I told them. They laughed. They were idiots, lol.
    I've had many encounters like that with plants and trees. I adore them. They're as much my family as my human family. Maybe more so.

He already mentioned the electric excitement observed in living leaves to the death of cells of nearby plants(it was boiling water i think).
