The Hidden Life of Trees | Summary
Most of us know that trees are living beings, but do many of us actually think of what that life entails? Forests are full of mysteries, even for those who have studied them their whole lives. German forester Peter Wohlleben paints a vivid picture about the fascinating world that lays just outside our doors.
As we learn more about trees, it becomes abundantly clear that we have more in common with this fixed, steady plant life than we think. Trees are capable of forming relationships and communities. They are capable of making mistakes, and equally capable of adapting and changing to suit their environment.

Well written and full of personal anecdotes, the book is very engaging. It covers the mycorrhizal symbioses and a plant's innate immune reactions but in little detail. This book just introduces the concepts but offers a tittles for further reading. My biggest struggle in reading was the omission of evolutionary development in the topics.
