Florestas em guerra entre si

4

Eu estava pesquisando na web pelo nome e autor da história sobre a árvore Yanda, e encontrei a resposta neste site (não fiz a pergunta neste site, uma busca no Google encontrou minhas palavras-chave aqui). Que tal mais uma velha história de ficção científica que eu gostaria de encontrar novamente? Pelo que me lembro, não havia seres humanos ou criaturas de qualquer espécie na história, a não ser duas florestas que tiveram uma guerra nuclear entre si recolhendo depósitos naturais de urânio e usando suas raízes preensíveis para colocar massas críticas abaixo umas das outras.

Poderia ser " [The] Process " da AE Van Vogt?

A sentient forest challenges arboreal neighbors and a spaceship that has landed among its' woodlands, which soon departs after being warned away with micro-mined uranium ore

Shortly after dawn the following morning, it launched its attack. Its victim was the forest which - according to its faulty recollection - had originally invaded its territory.

Along the entire front which separated the two colossuses, small atomic explosions erupted. The solid barrier of trees which was the other forest's outer defense went down before blast after blast of irresistible energy.

The enemy, reacting normally, brought up its reserve of sap. When it was fully committed to the gigantic task of growing, a new barrier, the bombs started to go off again. The resulting explosions destroyed its main sap supply. And, since it did not understand what was happening, it was lost from that moment.

Into the no-man's-land where the bombs had gone off, the attacking forest rushed an endless supply of roots. Wherever resistance built up, there an atomic bomb went off. Shortly after the next noon, a titanic explosion destroyed the sensitive central trees - and the battle was over.
