About Leaf

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis

Effect of therapeutic walk in the forestIn the forest, trees are emitting chemical named

“Fitontid”.This chemical effect to our body positively.• Activate hepatic function• Cool down effect• Activate physiology (proper menstruation period)• Reduce stress, and refresh

Deodorization

Animals die in the forest, but never smell.

Anti allergy

Fitontid make lung stronger, so people work in forest tend to anti hay fever.

Purification

Fitontid cover harmful matter in the air to clean up.

Why tree create fitontid?Tree emit fitontid to protect own self,

because they can not move or escape to avoid eaten by other species.①Anti-feedant effect: to avoid insects and animals, which eat tree.②Suffocate effect: to stop grow up other plants to cover own-self.③Anti bacterial effect: to avoid　 insects and germs, or invite　 useful insects by fitontid.

In 1930, Dr. B.P. Tolkien, the Soviet Union found this effect and named “Fiton” (by plants) “Tid” (to kill).

Offensive function of fitontid towards other species

Fitontid is not only for protection, but also attack. All species, not only mammals, but also pants try

to spread own territory.We can usually see Solidago altissima, yellow flower in open space in JapanThis flower emit fitontid to stop other species to

grow and spread out.However, after few years, those flowers changed

to other species such as Japanese pampas grass.Because, this yellow flower poisoning own self to emit too much fitontid.

Also, surround of coffee tree and Robinia pseudoacacia, there is not much weed exist.

This is because of fitontid of those 2 species effect offensively to growing other species. 　

It is difficult to grow other plants in the forest of cypress or pine tree.

Fruits, such as apple, grape, peach, and vegetable, such as tomato, and eggplants cannot plant the same crop on the same ground.

Trees are “talking” in the forest!?• Fitontid has Anti-feedant effect to avoid insects

to eat tree. But not only this, but also they tell to beside trees like warning alarm.

• Once a tree alarmed trees on the beside emit fitontid, which effect to avoid certain insects.

• Those communication called “Allelopathy”.• The way of chemical communication

“Allelopathy” is the fitontid.

New Business• Out society is full of stress, so people are

using machine to create artificial fitontid in the home.

Conclusion

• Trees are not only producing oxygen, but also contribute to human society very much, such as improve our health.

• Trees are using fitontid to avoid enemy and communicate with other trees.

• Companies are try to use fitontid to new business, so knowing nature is earning money!
