"Each tree tries to earn the best spot in the sun.
But by being too greedy, they would risk prompting the death of their neighbors and thus of the protection network, or even the collapse of the system. In the forest, all trees are connected. That's why "survival of the fittest" only applies when no member of the community is in danger.
[...]
They make up a solid community."
From an
arte documentary called
The whisper of the forest - When trees talk about how trees communicate and form a real network of informations through fungi, gas they release and through their roots, which makes them more "social" than we thought they were.
(Unfortunately the documentary is only available in French and in German :/ (so the quotation was translated by me, sorry if I made syntactic errors))
