Microforests: 300 Square Meters, 300 Trees

A small urban micro-forest with high-density planting. The area is only about three hundred square meters, sandwiched between buildings and roads, but hundreds of saplings are densely planted within it, with spacing of only fifty centimeters to one meter. The species are a mix of twenty to thirty local native trees, sub-trees, and shrubs, without zoning or arrangement, resembling natural succession. The current height is about three to four meters, already forming a closed canopy, with dim light under the forest and a layer of fallen leaves accumulating. At the edge, there is a low wooden fence and a gravel path, allowing people to walk along the edge but not enter. This forms a strong contrast with the neatly trimmed street trees nearby. Avoid: arranging trees in regular rows, increasing planting spacing, using only a single tree species, or removing fallen leaves and spontaneous herbaceous plants under the forest.

一小塊高密度種植的都市微森林。面積只有約三百平方公尺,夾在建築與道路之間,但裡面密集地種了數百株苗木,間距僅五十公分到一公尺,品種是二三十種當地原生的喬木、亞喬木與灌木混植,沒有分區、沒有排列,像自然演替的樣子。目前的高度約三到四米,已經開始鬱閉,林下光線變暗並有落葉層堆積。邊緣有一道低矮的木柵與一條碎石小徑,人只能沿邊走不進入。與旁邊修剪整齊的行道樹形成強烈對比。避免:把樹排成規則的行列、拉大種植間距、只使用單一樹種、清除林下的落葉與自生草本。
