The "Miyawaki method" is well known for the:
C.Creation of mini forests in urban areas
A.Promotion of commercial farming in arid and semi-arid areas
B.Development of gardens using genetically modified flora
D.Harvesting wind energy on coastal areas and on sea surfaces
Correct Answer: Option C
The Miyawaki method is an afforestation technique, developed by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki in the 1980s, used to create urban forests.
This method involves planting various native plant species close together, encouraging upward growth and resulting in plantations that are approximately 30 times denser and grow 10 times faster than conventional methods. After about 3 years, the forest becomes largely maintenance-free.
Therefore, the Miyawaki method is well known for the creation of mini-forests in urban areas.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
