Besides her 1997 research, Simard discusses her discovery that fungal networks can allow for warning signals to be communicated between trees, kin recognised, and preferential treatment applied to closer relatives.
But what made Simard's discovery so exciting was that she claimed to have seen trees using this network to transfer carbon out in the forest, which was a big deal.
In essence, Simard was claiming to have observed the transfer of carbon between seedlings of paper birch and Douglas fir in the field through a shared fungal connection between their root systems.
Suzanne Simard is about to make a discovery that will help her to achieve the near impossible with her PhD thesis, making the cover of nature.
