When people think of trees in a forest, they may think they are just standing quietly. However,
trees can do much more than we think. Like people, trees connect with other trees and share
information
. Through this connection, trees can share nutrients and
water
and stay strong
together. Trees can also defend themselves from
animal
or insects in different ways. They
make their leaves
bitter
or send out strong
smells
or even gas. In addition, trees can
remember
past events and change how they grow to survive.

Tree Explorer’s Note
I used to think that trees were quietly standing in the forest. But the more I learn about them, the less amazed I become by their hidden wonders.
First, like humans, trees connect with others, and this connection is called the World Wide Web. They send signals through their leaves and small fungi in the air. For example, when a tree lacks water, it sends out a signal, and other trees may share shade with it.
Second, older trees can help young trees grow. When a young tree cannot get enough sunlight, other trees can share nutrients to bother them.

Reporter
What can trees do when they are attacked?
Expert
Trees actually have their own ways of
protecting
themselves. Some trees make their
leaves bitter or
poisonous
so animals do not eat them.
Reporter
Do trees ever warn other trees when they are in danger?
Expert
Yes. For example, acacia trees send out a certain type of
gas
to nearby trees.
Reporter
That’s interesting! Are there trees that protect themselves in another way?
Expert
Yes. Eucalyptus trees release strong-smelling
oil
from their leaves to keep
insects and animals away.
Reporter
I also heard that trees can remember things. Is that true?
Expert
In their own way, yes. If a tree lives through a(n)
dry
season, it remembers how hard it was to find
water
.
Reporter
What happens the next time the dry season comes?
Expert
The tree may change how it grows. For example, it may grow its roots
deeper
to find underground water.
