function of tree
DESCRIPTION
I am working in Kenya Wildlife Service as a volunteer of environmental teacher. This presentation is about function of tree, especially focused on fitontid. Fitontid is only weapon for tree to protect own self from enemy. Also how fitontid effect to human and new business related to fitontid are discussed.TRANSCRIPT

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.
Warning!!New insect
came!
Warning!!New insect
came!
OK!
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!
