Hello, everyone! My name is Tsubasa Takano, from Captain Tsubasa, the famous Japanese comic. I was born in Fukushima Prefecture and have lived in both Chiba and Shizuoka Prefectures.
I am a working student, and usually I work for a forestry company. My job involves supporting and promoting forestry operations, such as improving work efficiency and safety, and researching and considering forestry management.
I am researching the seed dispersal of broad-leaved trees. In particular, I focus on seed dispersal by birds. In coniferous plantations (Sugi: Japanese cedar, and Hinoki: Japanese cypress), I have been monitoring the bird seed dispersal of broad-leaved trees.
My main topics include identifying which bird species disperse the seeds of which tree species, and which bird species contribute the most to seed dispersal in a plantation. Many tree species bear fruit to attract birds, then disperse their seeds. Although producing fruit (fleshy fruits or nuts) is a high biological cost for trees in terms of nutrient strategy, they have successfully survived for a long time.
As everyone knows, we humans love fruits. It seems that we help fruit trees prosper by planting and taking care of them. However, from another perspective, trees provide us with delicious fruits and skillfully use humans to ensure their own prosperity…
Speaking of plant-based foods, fruits that plants produce on their own could also be considered vegetarian food.
Hi, Tsubasa. I was enjoy reading your researching topic. My treatment plant of Wisteria flowers set seeds for survival. But seeds are pop by selfish. I like IKEA's lunch because the cost is very reasonable.
返信削除Thanks for reading and comment! Fukao. I wonder whether the seeds of Wisteria flowers can eat or not... Foods are very reasonable at IKEA, I like it too.
