Outline of Final Research Achievements

Environmental education programs based on CO2 concentration measurement in secondary nature environment was jointly developed and implemented with elementary , junior high and high schools.
First, CO2 concentration chlorophyll were measured for old cherry trees which are in the Kisogawa tsutsumi. The vigor recovery of old cherry tree was suggested to have to do with the CO2 concentration. Second, CO2 concentration was studied near the bacterial soil and the dterilized soil using a soil in Shirakawa forest. The CO2 concentration was influenced by the bacterial soil. The bacterial one denoted the same tendency of the diurnal cycle of the CO2 concentration during summer. The dterilized one also fit in winter season. Third, making map of CO2 concentration with aerial photos was revealed for teachers who take care of experience learning based on measurement of CO2 Concentration. The discussion method for the map of CO2 concentration was also summarized.
