Description

The reason why I evaluate Japanese Black Pine as just one among many trees is explained for the disaster prevention of the coastal forest in Japan. This pine, maritime species native in Japan, is big tree growing up to 40 m in height, with long roots growing vertically into soil, evergreen needles and thick bark tolerant against salty sea water, and stout thick trunk called hard pine. This pine is luxuriantly growing on dry and salty sand hill along the seashore by the activity of mycorrhizal fungi. Dense forest of this pine, therefore, has been used in the disaster prevention of maritime sand hills in Japan as just one.
