Micro-Forest Benefits
Micro-forest benefits - Urban Forest benefits
- Temperature reduction: -2℃ minimum, locally
- Air quality improvement, pollution clustering: absorption of 15% microparticles, leaves and bark intercept dust.
- Noise reduction: -10 dB for a mature Miyawaki forest
- Health and well-being: reduction of stress, anxiety, solitude, cardio-vascular et respiratory diseases.
- Biodiversity balance: biodiversity is on average 18 times higher, pest concentration can be lower, the forest ensures transfers and biodiversity increase in urban context.
- Soils stability: the entanglement of roots forms a matrix-pillar system that retains soils
- CO2 sequestration: stock = 60 kgC/m2 forest cover, flux = 0.5 kgC/m2 forest cover/ year. 100 m² of Miyawaki forest long-term compensates one year of a Indian person's carbon emissions.
- Real estate prices: Properties with tree cover can see their price increase by a Lacs of Rupees
