Abstract
Food forests, also known as forest gardens, are an agroforestry cultivation system that rooted in ancient and traditional culture, wildly used by aborigines in tropical regions. Food forests mimic the diverse forest structure, and cultivate multiple crops in the same space by different physical layers, for example the canopy, subcanopy, shrub, herbaceous layers, ground covers, vines, roots, mushrooms etc. This adaptable polyculture system is mentioned and considered as a solution of many environmental issues caused by urban development as well as extreme weather events, such as food security, floods and droughts, biodiversity loss, soil erosion, and pesticides. For example the Beacon forest located in Seattle, Pacific NW was founded for locals to do urban farming and provide healthy affordable food to the surrounding community. This project plans to apply the knowledge advantage of forest researchers, compare food forestry examples throughout the world in a variety of climate settings, and develop a doable framework for the Taiwan. The project will first establish a database on the volatile components oftheforestleavesoftheurbanforestspecies,whichare characteristic of the forest healing base.The characteristics of volatile components and aroma components of leaves and the influence of different sampling methods on the composition of leaves were comprehensively studied by means of collecting leaf and destructive testing. The available characteristics and potential exploitation value of different tree species were also discussed.In this year in situ sampling device (In situ), in order to enclose part of the way to build on-site sampling and monitoring platform, hoping to set up a high sensitivity, high accuracy, and automatic continuous monitoring of forest leaves released phytoncide for being refined composition and dynamic change.The complete scientific data were provided as a basis for assessing the effects of the forest bathing, providing a reference for deep forest ecotourism promotion and reforestation planning, making use of the multi-purpose function of trees and enhancing the green tourism refinement and creating the surrounding industry value.The use of plant oil healing wisdom from ancient times, the Mediterranean countries spread to use, until 1937 French scientists proposed aromatherapy (Aromatherapy) terms, aromatherapy like traditional Chinese medicine, the spread of clinical evidence of efficacy than the pharmacological framework Demonstration,because the essential oil of Taiwan tree species were different from the traditional Mediterranean essential oil, lack of the actual use and experiment, to base on its chemical composition or plant classification as a reference, supplemented by experience and efficacy evaluation, helpedTaiwan species to produce and sale essential oils.Phytoncide is unique in forest space can be connected with plant essential oils, compared with the field experiment that it were easy to control the change, so the way of aromatherapy as a preliminary validation of forest healing efficacy, and then according to the forest phytoncide of composition and concentration Creating Five - Sense Forest Experiments and Simulating Spatial Verification of Forest Healing.Disease to the work, study and life is an obstacle, do not want to contract the disease need to maintain the body, so to form the modern preventive medicine, get the disease needs treatment, and formation of a variety of therapies, natural therapy were Europe and the United States brand new therapy, the natural fruits and vegetables and exercise as nursed the disease,In the traditional Chinese medicine were no stranger to patients with qigong, tai chi, etc., accompanied by animal, plant, mineral diet as a healing method for a long time, empirical medicine and prescription, paying attention to science today, must know In the principle and the mechanism, with the language to allow the people to accept the concept of natural medicine, so that more people can believe, and then personally do help in the treatment of disease that a lot people were in wrong way and wrong direction.Therefore, the rapid establishment and search for different characteristics of the forest healing center and off-line healing methods, and understand the differences, in addition to the study of the project theory research, to achieve another important goal.The project will establish a database on the volatile components oftheforestleavesoftheurbanforestspecies,whichare characteristic of the forest healing base.The characteristics of volatile components and aroma components of leaves and the influence of different sampling methods on the composition of leaves were comprehensively studied by means of collecting leaf and destructive testing.
