Some trees have the ability to communicate and defend themselves against threats by releasing airborne chemical signals. For example, when a tree is attacked by insects or damaged by herbivores, it can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. These VOCs can serve as a warning to nearby trees, triggering them to produce defensive chemicals to deter herbivores or attract predators of the attacking insects. This phenomenon, known as "plant communication," showcases the sophisticated defense mechanisms that trees have evolved to survive and thrive in their forest habitats.
