Awareness of Miyawaki Urban Forest Plantation Method in Pakistan |Biomedgrid

A Miyawaki forest; Potential Natural Vegetation, is an opportunity to take part in ecosystem restoration. Indeed, the method takes into account ecological successions, and allows to immediately plant an advanced forest through the choice of the most adapted plant communities. Cooperation between trees enhances quick development and great resilience. Natural restoration is an intentional activity that initiates or accelerates recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability. Currently ecological succession is the most forest reforestation programs adopt a scheme of planting one or more early successional species; after successful establishment, they are gradually replaced by intermediate species (either naturally or by planting), until late successional species arise. This pattern tries to simulate natural processes of ecological succession, from pioneer species to climax vegetation. However, it requires several silvicutural practices and normally takes a long time. It was said that it would take 150-200 years in Japan to reach the final indigenous natural forests by secondary progressive succession and 300-500 years in Southeast Asia. Dense, mixed planting of 30-50 species of potential natural vegetation is in accordance with the system of natural forests, and enables a multilayer forest to grow after 15-20 years by the peculiarity of planted species.
