=== A Distributed Intelligence === The trees of Black Heath are not individually intelligent [1]. No single tree thinks, plans, or communicates in any way that resembles animal cognition [1]. But the root network β an interconnected lattice of mycorrhizal fungi and specialized root tissue spanning the entire continent β functions as a distributed nervous system [1]. The forest, taken as a whole, possesses something analogous to awareness [1].
