La vida secreta dels arbres

The forest, synonymous with stillness and intact nature, is a heavenly place for many people. Peter Wohlleben, a renowned forestry engineer, allows us to take a look at the hidden life of trees and reveals extraordinary facts to us: trees communicate, lovingly care for their children, and care for old and sick neighbors. They also have memory, emotions, memories and are sensitive, they exchange messages, feel pain and even get burned in the sun and wrinkles come out. Some trees, such as oaks, communicate by odorous chemicals: when a tree receives an insect attack, it sends out aromatic signals and the companions around them who receive them are quickly charged with bitter substances that drive them away. Wohlleben sheds light on the thickness of the forests and offers us an amazing look at a universe full of mysteries. He tells us fascinating stories about the unheard-of abilities of trees based on the latest scientific discoveries and his own experience as a forester.
