    Ans (c) Creation of mini forests in urban areas

    Miyawaki is an urban afforestation method based on the work of Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki in the 1980s. This method revolutionised the concept of urban forests by turning backyards into mini forests.

    Miyawaki is a technique that helps build dense, native forests in a short time period.

    Process of Miyawaki Method:

    Initially, native trees of the region are identified and divided into four layers- shrub, sub-tree, tree, and canopy.
    After that, the quality of the soil is analysed, and Biomass is mixed with it. Biomass mixing help to enhance the perforation capacity, water retention capacity, and nutrients.
    A mound is built with the soil, and the seeds are planted at a very high density. Furthermore, the ground is covered with a thick layer of mulch.
    Multi-layered saplings are planted close to each other. This blocks sunlight from reaching the ground and prevents weeds from growing. It also keeps the soil moist.
    The close cropping also ensures that the plants receive sunlight only from the top. It enables them to grow upwards rather than sideways.
