Explanation :
- Miyawaki is a technique pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki that helps build dense, native forests.
- It involves planting dozens of native species in the same area, and becomes maintenance-free after the first three years.
- In this, multi-layered saplings are planted close to each other. This blocks sunlight from reaching the ground and prevents weeds from growing, thus keeping the soil moist. The close cropping further ensures that the plants receive sunlight only from the top thus enabling them only to grow upwards than sideways.
- The approach is supposed to ensure that plant growth is 10 times faster and the resulting plantation is 30 times denser than usual.
