Wir stellen uns Bäume als eine passive Spezies vor, die an einen Ort gebunden ist, dabei gestalten sie ihre Umwelt aktiv. Sie zerkleinern Felsen, verbreitern die Küsten, vergiften gezielt Tiere, kontrollieren Wasserkreisläufe und lösen sogar Waldbrände aus. Seit prähistorischen Zeiten beeinflussen Bäume so ganze Ökosysteme, das Klima und schließlich auch uns Menschen maßgeblich. Die britische Biochemikerin und Journalistin Harriet Rix nimmt uns mit auf eine atemberaubende Weltreise zu Wäldern in Kalifornien, Syrien, Brasilien, im Himalaya, oder auf La Gomera.
