How Nature Communicates – The Hidden Language of Plants

Plants don’t speak words, but they communicate through chemical signals, electrical impulses, and even sound vibrations.

Plants release chemical compounds into the air or soil to warn others of threats, like pests or drought. Nearby plants “receive” these messages.

When damaged, plants send electrical signals through their tissues, similar to how nerves work in animals. These signals help trigger rapid changes.

Mycorrhizal fungi connect plant roots in underground networks known as the Wood Wide Web, allowing trees and plants to share nutrients, signals.

Understanding plant communication helps us see nature as an intelligent, responsive system. It deepens our respect for ecosystems and supports.
