GEOG 210, Lab 5, Biogeography TAKE-HOME ASSIGNMENT Please access this site:  From Tree to Shining Tree | RadioLab Listen to the above podcast, and answer the following questions. The podcast narrates the story of scientists who study trees are interested in understanding whether and how trees communicate among each other. If you are having trouble answering the questions, listen to the podcast again. I expect clear, thorough answers! More than one word please! What is the ingenious method that is used in the study in order to learn whether trees share resources? (1 point) What did they find? Up to how many trees were connected to one of their studied trees? Did the size and age of the tree influence trees’ ability to build networks? (3 points) Are all these networks created by the roots of trees? What is the size of the other communicator? (1 point) Why are fungi and trees creating this relationship? How are fungi benefiting from it? How do trees and fungi communicate? (3 points) What else can trees do when alerting the forest? Provide an example.
