Only read the linked article, but no mention of fungus at all. Did the authors consider it? I can buy plants growing in patterns that are beneficial to them, but not even looking for mycorhizal influences seems strange to me...

At this point, I think the assumption in “plants communicate too” circles is that the channel of communication is mycorrhizal networks.

This is clearly a small, very small, cursory research situation. There's a contingent of "plants are people too" individuals trying to prove their agenda here.
