What are the characteristics of Japanese environmental art?

First, the natural environment:

1. The climate is temperate and maritime, with small annual temperature difference and mild climate.

2. Surrounded by the sea, the sea transportation is convenient.

3. At the intersection of cold current and warm current, there are abundant marine fishery resources. In the East Pacific Ocean, it is surrounded by the Japanese warm current (Kuroshio) from south to north, and the Kuroshio cold current (pro-tide) forms in the northeast. In the West Sea of Japan, there are warm currents and Riemann cold currents flowing to Malaysia. At the intersection of cold current and warm current, there are abundant fish resources and become natural fishing grounds.

Surrounded by the ocean, it belongs to temperate maritime monsoon climate, which is mild and humid all year round, with no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer. There are many typhoons in summer and autumn, and it rains in June. The annual precipitation is 700-3500mm, and the maximum is over 4000mm. Japan is located at the extinction boundary between the Asia-Europe plate and the Pacific plate, and it is a part of the combination of island arc, coastal mountains and trenches in the western Pacific. 68% of this country is mountainous.

Japan is an island country, deeply influenced by Kuroshio, and has a remarkable maritime climate.

Two. Natural resources:

Japan has always been called a resource-poor country. In fact, if "natural resources" is defined as a broad concept including land, water, minerals, plants and animals, there are still great differences in the richness of resources among various categories, and it cannot be called "poverty" in one sentence.

1. Land and resources. As an island country, Japan has a long coastline. Its coastline is 33,899 kilometers long, its territorial sea area is 3 1 10,000 square kilometers, its fishery water area is 36 1 10,000 square kilometers, and its 200-nautical-mile water area is 4.29 million square kilometers. The characteristics of this island country not only make Japan enjoy rich fishery resources, but also provide a broad space for the development of its seabed resources and marine transportation.

Japan's land resources are not rich enough, and agricultural land, that is, cultivated land resources, is even scarcer. Japan's per capita arable land is only about 442 square meters.

Forests occupy a considerable area in this country. Japan has the highest forest coverage in the world, accounting for about two-thirds of its land area. Due to the huge demand for wood, Japan still imports a lot of wood every year.

2. water. Japan should be a country rich in water resources. Because of the steep mountains and rivers in Japan, a large part of the precipitation immediately flows into the sea, so there is not much water.

3. minerals. There are many kinds of mineral resources in Japan, which once had the reputation of "Mineral Museum". Historically, Japan used to be an exporter of copper, with abundant lead and zinc reserves and some large-scale famous coal mines. However, compared with other countries with the same population size in the world, both the total mineral reserves and the per capita reserves are relatively poor. At present, among all kinds of mineral resources, only limestone is abundant, and other resources, especially energy resources such as oil, coal and uranium, are particularly scarce. This is more prominent after the rapid development of its industry, which needs to consume a lot of mineral resources.

4. plants. Japan is one of the countries with the richest plant species in the world. According to the statistics of Japanese government 1999, there are more than 3 1800 species of wild plants in Japan, including 7087 species of vascular plants, about 5500 species of algae, about 1800 species of bryophytes, about 1000 species of lichens and about/kloc-0 fungi. Among these plants, there are about 1500 species with high economic value.

5. animals. There are about 36,900 species of animals in Japan, including about 1400 species of vertebrates and about 35,207 species of invertebrates. There are few species of terrestrial vertebrates. At present, the only large wild animals are bears, wolves, wild boar and deer. There are abundant fishery resources, and the output of tuna, sardines and salmon is very high. There are also many kinds of freshwater fish, among which fragrant fish is the king of freshwater fish in Japan, with the largest output. Adult fish is about 30 cm long, silvery white and fragrant.

There are about 400 kinds of birds and animals in Japan. Among them, about 140 species are native birds, about 150 species are frigid birds, about 50 species are tropical birds, and nearly 50 species are endemic to Japan. There are more waterfowl. Pheasant is honored as the national bird of Japan because of its beauty. Birds such as red-crowned cranes, albatrosses and crested ibis are on the verge of extinction. There is only one crested ibis. From 65438 to 0999, our government presented a pair of crested ibis to Japan to express the friendly feelings of the people of China towards the Japanese people.
