Salty Wind Damage for Pinus Thunbergii and Myrica Rubra on the Seashore Reclaimed Land

Abstract

We reserched into the street trees at the reclaimed forshore land in Chiba Prefecture for the purpose of studying salty wind damage to landscaping trees. For examination subjects, we chose Pinus tunbergii and Myrica rubra which lined at regular intervals in their almost same direction with sea breeze. We measured the height, vitality, distort of crown and salinity of leaves. As the result of it, we found out the difference of salty wind damage depends on the distance from a coastline and kinds of trees.
