What is suitable for planting under the woods? It is easy to plant under the woods and the economic environment is fully taken care of.

Forestry land not only has the functions of afforestation and nursery stock, but also can plant cash crops and create more economic value in Wulai, the back garden of greater Taipei, while abiding by certain norms and not affecting the natural environment. Xinxian nursery has three kinds of underforest crops: Clematis, Lentinus edodes and Auricularia auricula. Due to the good growth conditions provided by natural shade, the crops produced under the forest are of good quality. Ma Fujing, an associate researcher at the Forest Research Institute, said that due to the good growth conditions provided by natural shade, the crops produced under the forest are of good quality.

According to item 2 of Article 6 of the Forest Law, the land classified as forestry land cannot be used for other purposes, and forest farmers can only carry out afforestation and cultivate seedlings on the forest land. During the many years of forest growth, in order to supplement the income of forest farmers, the Forestry Bureau increases the output of forestry by-products by opening up the underforest economy, but forest farmers must follow the "four noes" principle, do not affect forest growth, do not interfere with forest land and need to maintain forest vegetation. Nor can you apply herbicides and chemical fertilizers.

Ma Fujing explained that according to the four no principles, the crops planted under the forest should be organic products. In the case of Lentinus edodes, large temperature differences and sufficient moisture can make Lentinus edodes produce mushrooms earlier, while a damp environment just provides this condition, and the shade of trees can avoid direct sunlight, help regulate temperature and avoid water evaporation too quickly, use natural tree shade, avoid using black shading nets commonly used by mushroom farmers, and reduce environmental pollution caused by plastic waste. In addition, compared with the Lentinus edodes grown in the space bag, the Lentinus edodes grown on Fagaceae Linden has a thicker taste and rich smell.

Ma Fujing explained that shade provides a lot of benefits, because the growth of Auricularia auricula likes hot and humid environment, shade can provide sunlight regulation, and will not let Auricularia auricula dry to death by direct sunlight. In addition, Anoectochilus roxburghii likes to grow in a semi-shaded and humid environment, so it is suitable to plant Anoectochilus roxburghii under the forest under the shade of big trees, which can be covered with baskets and nets to prevent plants from being eaten by snails and wild animals, and forest farmers can put baskets on the woodland. The impact on the original ecology under the forest is very low.
