Prospective moss for the environmental greening of the city
Moss saves big cities from the heat island phenomenon!
Cities have developed by cutting those greens.
Times when the temperature exceeded 30 degree become twice as before in these 20 years. In addition to the global warming, there are the exhaust heat from air-conditionings and automobiles, the pooled heat on the concrete of skyscrapers in cities and there exist many reasons that the temperature only of city areas rise.
In this situation there will be over 50 days of sultry nights in 2030 during summer, and as for the temperature, it will be more than 50 degrees in Osaka, and 40 degrees in Tokyo in some areas.

Heat-island-phenomenon
Since red areas have quite high temperature being distributed like islands, it is called a heat-island-phenomenon (hot-islands).
Skyscraper where greening is difficult
Moss that grows up on the wall.
It is said that the important factors of the heat island phenomenon are deforesting, the exhausted heat from the air conditioner or the pooled heat in the concrete. There is a limit of greening in such spaces with few levels of grounds as cities with many high-rise buildings.
Meanwhile, it is "moss" that is prospective and regarded as the rare plant which can grow on the rooftop or building wall and prevent the storage of heat.
The moss doesn't need soils and has a power to bear a strong wind blowing, strong sunlight or drying on the rooftop of skyscrapers. Also since the moss prevents deterioration of concrete surfaces or the iron plate roofs, and suppresses the rise of the temperature of buildings, it effects on air-conditioning and leads to energy saving.
"Moss" is the plant which hid expensive power Noh characteristics in environmental tree planting and the environmental reconstruction in this way.
