Researchers are using sound to study Pando, the world's largest tree.
Researchers have recorded the sounds of the world's largest tree, a 13-million-pound behemoth known as Pando that stretches across 106 acres in southern Utah. The researchers think that listening to the recordings could give them a better understanding of the sprawling aspen’s health and any environmental changes that might affect it.
"There is this beautiful interconnectedness of Pando itself," Rice, who presented his recordings on May 10 at the 184th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, told Live Science."Its sounds are so many different elements, but there's also this rich underground soundscape. There's more than just the trembling of the leaves. I started to discover that there was a lot going on there.
"We could clearly hear the tapping," Oditt told Live Science."This helps demonstrate that Pando is interconnected — and not just at the soil level. The root system is like a latticework underground."
