Episode 353 - Mysteries of plants, from using rare metals to boosting photosynthesis
Plants play an important role in our environment, yet there is still so much more to understand. We often think of nature as a zero sum game, but older and younger plants can collaborate. When surviving in a harsh environment, the best results occur when old and young plants grow together.
