Green Space Environment and Resources Lab (Takahashi)
Machine-translated · View original
Investigating material cycles in green spaces through pruned branches and green space soil.
AboutAbout the lab
Green space soil and material cycles.
Professor Takahashi of the Green Space Environment and Resources Lab specializes in ecosystem ecology, revegetation engineering, and landscape gardening.
The professor's work has covered a wide range of green spaces, from mountain forests to satoyama, urban parks, and coastal tidal flats.
The lab investigates the properties and improvement of the soil that serves as the foundation for planting (planting substrate), as well as how materials cycle within green spaces (material cycles).
The professor always tries to consider how current education and research can be put to use and be useful in real-world settings.
Key terms
- Material cycles
- The process by which materials such as carbon and nitrogen move among plants, soil, water, and air, changing form along the way
- Planting substrate
- The foundation layer of soil in which trees and flowering plants are planted and grown
- Carbon sequestration
- Storing carbon taken in from carbon dioxide in the air within plants and soil
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the properties and improvement of planting substrate and the characteristics of material cycles in a variety of green spaces. Its main current themes are the use of pruned branches and leaves, the effects of urbanization, and carbon sequestration in green space soil.
*Illustrative imageCreating a cycle that returns pruned branches and leaves to the soil
The lab works on returning branches and leaves pruned during green space management to the soil, creating a mechanism for materials to cycle within green spaces.
*Illustrative imageUrbanization and material cycles in green spaces
The lab aims to clarify how the way materials cycle within green spaces changes as urbanization progresses.
*Illustrative imageCarbon stored in green space soil
The lab aims to clarify the function of green space soil in storing carbon (carbon sequestration).
