Natural Invasion Promotion Method / BSC (Biological Soil Crust) Mat Method [Vegetation Mat]
A new form of natural invasion promotion method utilizing soil algae
【Erosion Control Mat Type BSC】 ◀Soil Algae Material (BSC-1) × our original erosion control mat▶ NETIS: CG-220006-A ▷What is BSC? Biological Soil Crust BSC refers to a sheet-like colony of soil microorganisms formed by soil algae, lichens, filamentous fungi, and mosses that intertwine soil particles and clumps at the surface. This phenomenon occurs naturally and can be observed in shaded areas of mountainous regions and nearby locations. Soil algae are not invasive or native species; they are protozoa that exist universally around the world. They travel globally carried by wind along with dust and sand. The BSC formed by protozoa serves as the starting point for vegetation succession. <BSC ⇒ Grassland (annual and perennial plants) ⇒ Pioneer Shrubland ⇒ Sun Forest ⇒ Shade-tolerant Forest> It is said that it takes about 20 years to form grassland in areas without a natural environment. The BSC mat aims to shorten this period. Please feel free to contact us; TEL: +81-833-46-4466 FAX: +81-833-46-4678 Email: global-info@takino.co.jp
basic information
As a natural invasion promotion method, the biological material used in this case is what are commonly referred to as "algae." Cultivated materials of algae (BSC-1) are attached inside mats specifically designed for soil erosion prevention. While preventing erosion through the effects of the mat, a BSC is formed on the surface. The formation of BSC enhances the soil's moisture retention capacity, creating conditions conducive to plant growth and promoting greening through airborne plants.

Since our establishment, we have been committed to promoting the use of our Erosion Control Vegetation Mats (curing mats) , which prevent soil erosion while restoring natural ecosystems, and developing new environmental materials. In recent years, due to the global climate change, large-scale natural disasters have been occurring not only in Japan but also worldwide. We believe that it is our mission to make a contribution to restore a healthy natural cycle through our products in order to realize a disaster-resistant society.
