AKIRA MIYAWAKI FOREST

MIYAWAKI FOR FORESTIFICATION

Botanist Akira Miyawaki This concept was introduced in the 1970s by a plant ecologist and botanist Akira Miyawaki of Japan's Yokohama National University. Reportedly, the micro forestation model is aimed at increasing the green spaces on the planet by developing mostly native species of plants in small areas of land.

The Miyawaki Method is one of the most effective tree planting methods for creating forest cover quickly on degraded land that has been used for other purposes such as agriculture or construction. ... The trees planted by this method grow much faster, jump-starting the forest creation process and capturing more carbon.


Micro forests are grown using the basic principles of the Miyawaki method of afforestation, which prioritizes the natural development of forests using native species. ... The larger the area the more the benefits, but even a tennis court size of forest can work its magic! Enquire about Micro Forest Installation here.

URBAN FOREST BY MIYAWAKI

An urban forest encompasses the trees and shrubs in an urban area,1 including trees in yards, along streets and utility corridors, in protected areas, and in watersheds. This includes individual trees, street trees, green spaces with trees, and even the associated vegetation 2 and the soil beneath the trees.


The Miyawaki forestation method is a unique way to create an urban forest and is pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki. ... In the Miyawaki technique, various native species of plants are planted close to each other so that the greens receive sunlight only from the top and grow upwards than sideways.


This method involves planting three to four saplings per square meter, using native varieties adapted to local conditions. A wide variety of species – ideally 30 or more – are planted to recreate layers of a natural forest. ... “Miyawaki forests grow in two to three years and are self-sustaining, like how a forest is.

AFFORESTATION

Afforestation is the process of introducing trees and tree seedlings to an area that has previously not been forested. Afforestation can be done through tree planting and seeding, naturally or artificially. Similarly, reforestation can be considered a form of afforestation.


Afforestation helps to ensure that there are enough forests for wildlife to thrive in. Those animals pushed from their natural habitats by human activities can relocate to the new forests. For this reason, afforestation can aid in protecting wild animals.


The process of afforestation begins with site selection. Several environmental factors of the site must be analyzed, including climate, soil, vegetation, and human activity. These factors will determine the quality of the site, what species of trees should be planted, and what planting method should be used. The UNFCCC defines a forest as an area of land 0.05–1 hectare in size, of which more than 10–30% is covered by a tree canopy.

Named after the Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, the Miyawaki method is a forest regeneration technique that aims to recreate self-sustaining multilayered indigenous forests on degraded land with little to no human intervention.

Tiny Forest documentary about the effects of the Miyawaki method in the Netherlands

If a piece of land is free from human intervention, a forest will naturally self-seed and take over within a period of around 600 to 1,000 years. ... Intrigued, I volunteered with Miyawaki and studied his methodologies, and then planted a forest of 300 trees of 42 species in a 93-square-meter plot in my back garden.

Growing Native Forests Using Miyawaki Technique

The method involves planting two to four trees per square meter. Miyawaki forests grow in two to three years and are self-sustaining. They help lower temperatures in concrete heat islands, reduce air and noise pollution, attract local birds and insects, and create carbon sinks.
