What do you imagine when vou think of a forest？You probably imagine a large area ofland covered with trees.But as traditional forests are destroyed，tiny fbrest s一some as small asa tennis court—have sprung up in cities around the world.They’relncreasing biOdiverSity land fighting Climate 2 change.
当你想到一片森林时，你会想象些什么？你可能会想象到被树木覆盖的一大片土地。但随着传统的森林被毁坏，世界各地的城市中，有些甚至小到只有网球场大小的小森林如雨后春笋般涌现出来。它们正在增加生物多样性，并对抗气候变化。
These mini forests are inspired by Akira Miyawaki. He’s a plant scientist， from Japanwho pioneered 3 a unique way of growing forests. It’s known as the Miyawaki method. It meansplanting a wide varietV of native trees close together and leaving them to grow into aforest.Miyawaki has planted more than l，000 0f these in Japan and other countries.
这些迷你森林的灵感来自于宫胁昭。他是一位来自日本的植物学家。他开创了一种独特的种植森林的方式，它被称为宫胁法。它指的是近距离种植各种各样的本地树木，并让它们生长成一片森林。宫胁已经在日本及其他国家种植了1000多个这样的森林。
The Miyawaki method is said to grow trees 10 times faster than o山er methods.And thesetiny forests are more biodiverse山an traditional forests.And the diverSity 4 0f tree SpeCieS 5attracts a greater variety of insects and amphibianS 6 looking fbr food and places to stay or live.
据说用宫胁法种植的树木生长速度比用其他方法种植的树木快10倍。而这些小森林比传统的森林更具生物多样性。树木种类的多样性则吸引了更多种正在寻找食物和栖身之所的昆虫和两栖动物。
The Miyawaki method has become popular in Europe.Boomforest is an organlzation lnParis，France.It planted two forests using the Japanese scientist’s technique.The group alsoteaches people how they can grow their own mini forests.
宫胁法在欧洲已经开始流行起来了。“繁荣森林”是法国巴黎的一个组织。它用该日本科学家的技术种植了两座森林。该组织还教人们如何种植自己的迷你森林。
In the Netherlands， an organization has helped communities build 100 forests using theMiyawaki method. It plans to double that number by 2022. The group also educates kids abouttiny forests.
在荷蘭，一个组织利用宫胁法帮助社区建造了100座森林。它计划到2022年将这个数字翻一番。该小组还教育孩子们了解迷你森林。
Simon Lewis is excited about tiny forests. He’s a professor of global change science atUniversity College London， in England. Lewis explains that it’s important to grow trees becausethey absorb 7 C02. That’s a gas that contributes 8 to climate change.
西蒙·刘易斯对迷你森林感到兴奋。他是英国伦敦大学学院的全球变化科学的教授。刘易斯解释说，种植树木很重要，因为它们会吸收二氧化碳。二氧化碳是一种能导致气候变化的气体。
But not all methods of growing trees， and not all reasons for doing so， help the planet. Asan example， Lewis points to trees grown and cut down to make paper. "When that paper isthrown away， it rots 9，" he said. "Carbon 10 goes back in the atmosphere 11" And the trees， ofcourse， are no longer there to soak up C02.
但并非所有种植树木的方法，也不是所有这样做的理由都能帮助地球。刘易斯举了种植和砍伐树木来造纸的例子。“当纸被扔掉时，它就会腐烂。”他说，“碳会重新回到大气中。”当然，（被制成纸的）树木也不再能吸收二氧化碳。
Lewis hopes more people will use the Miyawaki method to plant mini forests. And he said.“It has inspired me to try to get one going where I live！”
刘易斯希望更多的人使用宫胁法来种植迷你森林。他说：“它启发了我去我住的地方尝试！”
