Exploring and understanding the forest through the network system that is interconnected beneath our feet, gives a broader perspective on understanding how the forest communicates and self-sustain. Forest change, through multiple factors, threats, droughts, human intervention, etc., affects the survival and resilience of the ecosystem. These networks facilitate communication, resource sharing, and ecosystem resilience. Trees, often seen as individual elements in the forest, develop interwoven networks and symbiotic relations with various organisms, which further enhance the communication network. Through this lens we understand the network beneath our forest floor reveals a complex and interconnected ecosystem that thrives on mutual support within them, through these intricate network systems trees, they communicate, exchange nutrients, and share information about environmental stressors, creating resilience within their communities. It also helps us understand the intricate relationships and processes that shape the forest, which helps in the regeneration and conservation strategies of the forest systems.
