This scratchboard hand etching illustrates Suzanne Simard’s 1997 experiment on mycorrhizal mediated nutrient exchange between different tree species in the field . The illustration is drawn entirely with data pulled from Simard's work, and depicts the roots of Douglas Fir, Paper Birch and Red Cedar as seen from below, with the mycellium web connecting Fir to Birch. This inferior view was inspired by ground penetrating radar imaging taken by Alexia Stokes.
