How the biological genius of plants allowed them to conquer Earth
In short: From frozen landscapes to urban concrete, discover the extraordinary strategies plants use to inhabit almost every environment on our planet.
This documentary explores the 'vegetal genius' behind plant colonization. It examines how specific biological traits enable species like cacti and acacia to endure deserts, algae to survive ice-cold climates, and carnivorous plants to thrive in marshes. The film also looks at how plants like the tree of heaven occupy urban spaces, and how the human race has played a role in bringing plant life into our concrete cities.
