In an ancient forest, trees of the same species support one another by sending nutrients through their roots to the point where each receives a similar volume. This includes the use of fungal systems to transmit. If one tree goes through hardship it will be far more likely to survive and recover in a forest. Singleton trees and those planted by humans do less well. The root tips are poorer in those we plant. A tree dying is bad for the others as it opens gaps in the canopy, affecting the microclimate created by the forest.

When giraffes feed on umbrella thorn acacias they start to pump toxic substances into their leaves within a few minutes of being preyed upon. At that point the giraffes stop eating the leaves but also don’t attempt to eat the leaves of other nearby acacias. They know that the other acacias have been alerted to the danger by the first tree Some trees summon help via pheromones when under attack. They react to the nature of the saliva and attract the specific predators of the attacker, such as wasps that eat particular insects. Such joint actions are generally only possible in long established woodlands. So trees planted by men, and also some crops, lose their natural defences and need more artificial pesticides.

In a forest setting, parent trees such as beech will select a single one of their saplings to support. It will then grow its crown completely over the sapling, slowing its growth dramatically. The sapling will be almost entirely dependent on the parent tree through sugars sent via the root and fungal systems underground. Only when the parent tree finally dies will the sapling shoot up and grow to full height, replacing the parent. In this way most parents only have one offspring The benefit is that the saplings grow very slowly and become highly dense as a result. This makes them resistant to breaking, eg in high winds, and also better able to deal with pests and disease.

In reality it's a pretty dim argument to put forward. It's nothing but weak obfuscation. Everything is related if you travel back far enough. It's not about whether humans are the same species or not.....How child-like is that. Poor Maple and his attachment to make believe.....it's coming for you too Maple, and you'll run like all the rest.
