Sometimes when I’m very stressed, I place both hands on a tree, close my eyes, and feel myself and the tree breathing together, exhaling what the tree needs and inhaling what the tree provides. It’s such a beautiful connection.
From the soil may be missing out an important step. Mycorrhiza are over 50,000 different species of fungi which live in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of plants getting sugars from the plant and in return providing water and nutrients including phosphates and nitrates. https://youtu.be/MnQRCGrmK8A
But those figures aren’t the be all and end all of what trees do. Diversity of tree species promotes diversity of insect, bird and mammal life. Hemp is a great crop but not really comparable to trees.

This is some rather remarkable, clear, informative data.
Every bit of it is cool to know.
