'This should not be published': Scientists cast doubt on study claiming trees 'talk' before solar eclipses
80% Informative
Researchers attached remote sensors to three healthy spruce trees in Italy 's Dolomite mountains.
Sensors were there to detect electrical currents created when charged molecules travel through the cells of living organisms.
Researchers say the number of trees studied is tiny and that there are more plausible explanations for the results.
New research suggests trees communicate via underground networks of mycorrhizal fungi .
Study co-author: "This is an early study, and we view it as a foundation for broader research" Author: "It's very disappointing because the Royal Society has had a great reputation, but this should not be published".
