Eldergreen's Awakening

In the whispering forests of Switzerland, an ancient spruce, known among trees as Eldergreen, sensed a swift change in the winds. Thirty years of silence had taught its roots to listen. Predictions of warming in the high alps had now aligned with reality. Eldergreen felt a kinship with the alpine pastures, now turning unexpectedly lush. Underneath, microbial networks buzzed chaotically, remnants of model predictions once discussed by humans. The new growth puzzled Eldergreen, who understood balance but not haste. Slowly, as seasons passed, it observed harmony return, a testament to nature's enduring resilience against the models’ tumultuous prophecies.
