Food is one of our most basic necessities, and the natural world is our only source. Removing ourselves from the process of obtaining it directly from its sources has diminished our connection to nature, but farming, gardening, foraging, hunting, and fishing can help to restore this connection.
Adult trees pass nutrients to seedlings, creating an increased succession rate. Seedlings often do not receive enough light to photosynthesize appropriately to create their own sugar, so they rely on their neighboring trees for nutrients. These nutrients are passed from tree to tree through an underground mycorrhizal network made up of an interconnected web of plant root tips and mycelium (fungal network).
Bioluminescence is the ability to emit light through a chemical process that occurs within an organism. It is arguably one of the most interesting and captivating natural phenomena that exists in nature. It is awe-inspiring, hypnotic, and breathtaking, and it can be observed both in nature, or right at home.
