Akira Miyawaki and the Miyawaki method of forest cultivation for reforestation to fight desertification by regreening:

> Using the concept of potential natural vegetation, Miyawaki developed, tested, and refined a method of ecological engineering today known as the Miyawaki method to restore native forests from seeds of native trees on very degraded soils that were deforested and without humus. With the results of his experiments, he restored protective forests in over 1,300 sites in Japan and various tropical countries, in particular in the Pacific region[8] in the form of shelterbelts, woodlands, and woodlots, including urban, port, and industrial areas. Miyawaki demonstrated that rapid restoration of forest cover and soil was possible by using a selection of pioneer and secondary indigenous species that were densely planted and provided with mycorrhiza.
Mycorrhiza spores can be seeded into soil to support root network development.

> Miyawaki studied local plant ecology and used species that have key and complementary roles in the normal tree community.
It also works in small patches; self-sufficient "mini forest"
