Suzanne Simard

Suzanne Simard, a professor of backwoods biology at the Department of Forest and Conservation Sciences at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, muses on nature's tremendous and delicate unpredictability. Her primary focus is on the underground parasitic systems that interface plants and promote subsurface dialogue and relationships between trees.

Her team's investigation revealed that the growth systems transport nutrients like nitrogen and carbon dioxide across and among trees much as they do across species. The research has shown that these intricate cooperative networks in our forests, centered on what she refers to as the mother trees, mimic our own neurological and informal structures.
