We are happy to share a new press release on our project:
“Do mangrove trees support each other by exchanging resources through root networks? In the research project “Kropotkin’s Garden”, scientists from Mexico, Germany, Great Britain and the Czech Republic are working on plant cooperation – questioning established theories of evolutionary biology.
The project focuses in particular on the transfer of water between plants: Trees that have better access to water can supply their conspecifics with water and nutrients during drought. In doing so they could offer an important advantage for survival in salt stress or extreme weather events such as storms.
The project is supported by the Volkswagen Foundation’s programme “Offen – für Außergewöhnliches” (Off-The-Beaten-Track)”.
