Intaneti ya Kushangaza ya Miti

The astonishing "wood wide web" of trees - Peter Wohlleben | The Hidden Life of Trees (2016)

KISWAHILI

"Lakini jambo la kushangaza zaidi kuhusu miti ni jinsi ilivyo kijamii. Miti katika msitu hutunza kila mmoja, wakati mwingine hata kufikia kulisha kisiki cha mti ambacho kimekatwa kwa karne nyingi kwa kulisha sukari na virutubisho vingine, kwa hivyo kuiweka kuwa hai….

"Njia muhimu zaidi ya mti kuendelea kushikamana na miti mingine ni "intaneti kwa upana ya kuni" wa fangasi wa udongo ambayo huunganisha mimea katika intaneti ya karibu inayoruhusu kushiriki kiasi kikubwa cha habari na bidhaa. Utafiti wa kisayansi unaolenga kuelewa uwezo wa kushangaza wa ushirikiano huu kati ya fangasi na mmea ndio umeanza tu.”

-Peter Wohlleben ni mwandishi wa Ujerumani, mkulima wa misitu, na mhifadhi

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

“But the most astonishing thing about trees is how social they are. The trees in a forest care for each other, sometimes even going so far as to nourish the stump of a felled tree for centuries after it was cut down by feeding it sugars and other nutrients, and so keeping it alive….

“A tree’s most important means of staying connected to other trees is a “wood wide web” of soil fungi that connects vegetation in an intimate network that allows the sharing of an enormous amount of information and goods. Scientific research aimed at understanding the astonishing abilities of this partnership between fungi and plant has only just begun.”

-Peter Wohlleben is a German author, forester, and conservationist.
