Superorganism from Eco Net by Lost Ether

CMN can be compared either to “socialist” or “capitalist” systems, or even to a “superorganism.”(Van Der Heijden and Horton (2009)) For the “socialist” behaviour, individuals are able to have equal opportunities and resources are distributed more evenly providing benefits for all connected plants. For the “capitalist” network, mycorrhizal would be privately controlled for the profit of certain group of plants, increasing therefore competition between connected plants. If network behaves as a “superorganism,” fungal species in the network are considered redundant physical extensions of the roots, which might translocate nutrients freely between plants.
