Scientists Think One of Earth’s Simplest Organisms May Work like a Giant Brain
One of Earth’s oldest plants appears to pass electrical messages through its dense green mats.

"Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:
- While #moss form vital substrates that allow more complex plant and animal life to move into new ecological niches, the plants themselves are often seen as simple lifeforms.
- A new study complicates this picture with evidence of electrophysical communication in mats of #Brachythecium rutabulum, a rough-stalked feather moss found throughout Great Britain.
- Although future studies will be needed, this research shows that one of the oldest types of plant life on Earth may have a secret means of communication."Read more:

Plants can “hear” bees buzzing and produce more nectar, suggesting an active role in their symbiotic relationship with pollinators. This behavior may attract beneficial pollinators over nectar robbers. Buzzing noises could be an environmentally friendly way to enhance crop pollination.

Researchers in Japan have made a groundbreaking discovery, revealing that plants communicate with each other through airborne chemicals, similar to animal warning signals. Using a specialized microscope, scientists observed healthy plants lighting up in response to messages from damaged plants, indicating a sophisticated form of communication among vegetation.

Plants have a way of communicating to each other, using a fine mist of airborne compounds, we've known about this since the 80's.
Now, however, for the first time, Scientists have captured the process on Video. Demonstrating how plants send and receive these transmissions.
This is of course a very short summary of a more complex scientific discovery, I encourage those interested to click through and read the full article.

A recent study found that plants use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to communicate with each other and warn of upcoming threats. These VOCs are detected through cells called stomata on a leaf's surface. By monitoring the concentration of calcium ions inside plants' cells, researchers can understand stress responses. This research could lead to more effective pest control in agriculture.

Spent the weekend pulling a dense hundred foot stretch of scotchbroom ( scorparius) growing along a road berm, in a watershed that until recently has been remarkably free of invasive plants. Scotchbroom is not only a fire hazard, invasive, poisonous to live stock, (deer are smart enough not to eat it) it also messes with the soil pH. It makes soil in my area so acidic almost nothing but moss will grow. After eradication, soil can take years to recover. It screws up phosphate availability, and i suspect it puts out allopathic chemicals in it roots to deter other plants. I eradicated a patch 20 years ago, and today the only thing growing there is moss.
Scotchbroom removal can be daunting, especially using an old school, clunky, extremely heavy weed wrench. Id been thinking about what to try planting in place of the scotchbroom. What kept popping into my mind was Toyon, and perhaps Ceanothus douglisiana. Toyon sprouts easily if you soak them in hot water overnight. I had no idea if they'd take but thought I'd try.
I started pulling scotchbroom, exposing the mostly barren soil beneath, but i noticed a few other green seedlings scattered among the broom. Curious I looked to see what species they were, I discovered they were Toyon, and a solitary ceanothus douglisiana.
I swear the plants in my watershed talk to me, telling me what to plant, and where, and I mean this literally , not metaphorically. I ask a question, what should i plant, they answer "Toyon and Ceanothus"
Toyon is a CA native, a beautiful shrub with bright red berries that are an important winter food source for birds. Recommended for landscaping because its relatively fire resistant, and drought tolerant. The flowers of Ceanothus , also known as wild lilac produce an indescribably delicious aroma favored by bees.
