“Underground there is another world” said Suzanne Simard, one of the leading researchers on the wood wide web. It is a world that is very difficult to picture. It might be hard to believe but a pinch of soil can contain miles of tiny thread like fungi – so imagine what a whole woodland contains.
For our wood wide web interpretation we have tried to represent the linkages between the trees, just to give people an idea of what is happening out of sight underground. Nothing could replicate the amazing complexity that is occurring out of sight in the soil but hopefully our efforts help to bring it to life.
