- Suzanne Simard - WikipediaSimard identified something called a hub tree, or "mother tree". Mother trees are the largest trees in forests that act as central hubs for vast below-ground mycorrhizal networks. A mother tree supports seedlings by infecting them with fungi and supplying them with the nutrients they need to grow. [8]
- About Mother Trees in the forest - The Mother Tree ProjectIn mapping the fungal network, our research has shown that the biggest and oldest trees are the most connected nodes in the forest. These highly-connected hub trees, also known as Mother Trees, share their excess carbon and nitrogen through the mycorrhizal network with the understory seedlings, which can increase seedling survival.
- Finding the Mother Tree - WikipediaFinding the Mother Tree is a memoir by the Canadian forest ecologist Suzanne Simard. It has been reviewed in The New York Times, [1] The Guardian, [2] The Washington Post, [3] The Wall Street Journal, [4] among other publications. [5] In her memoir, Simard asserts that trees in forests are interdependent with fungi mycelium.
- Suzanne Simard - Research on Mother TreesThe Mother Tree Project explores the following research questions: What role do Mother Trees play in forest regeneration? What seedling mixes work best for forest regeneration? How does the size, number and distribution of trees retained (left uncut) at a harvesting site impact forest regeneration?
