"...thanks to the great genetic diversity in a single species of tree, there is always a sufficient number of individuals that can rise to a new challenge."

Watching videos on these trees helps with visualization of what Wohlleben is describing. I remember seeing alder cones on my walks!

Wohlleben does have notes referring to his sources, but I feel uncomfortable reading his assertions--no matter how much I want to believe them--because he doesn't thoroughly back up each statement. You have to read it with the faith he actually has read the scientific literature. That's a problem, for me.
