Die Bäume und das Unsichtbare

Trees and forests are under threat, yet they could become our greatest allies. For modern natural science, which looks beyond appearances, unexpected characteristics of trees come to light. Traditional knowledge about trees proves to be visionary. On the other hand, science discovers astonishing things that were previously unknown. This book discusses tree communities, the secret of longevity, the significance of the Golden Ratio, new water, tides in trunks, and the cosmic pulse of buds. Among the subtle, measurable messages of trees are warning signals for earthquakes, similar to those known in the animal kingdom. What is moon wood and what are its properties? How does a wooden house, a wood fire, or simply forest air affect our health? Why are trees and forests sources of fertility?.
