“…Observation of 12 various BVOC (biogenic volatile organic compound) emissions showed that they significantly differed between bamboo species [22]. According to the study that investigated steam extract of Phyllostachys species, it was found to be mainly comprised of monoterpenes, which are well known for various health benefits [23]. Furthermore, the study also revealed that Phyllostachys pubescens is said to have more significant anticancer and antioxidant effects than other species; therefore, it could be used as a natural anticancer and antioxidant factor in the future [23].…”

The high concentration of phytoncide emissions from bamboo groves has been proven to have a significant effect on reducing blood pressure, enhancing the immune system, and increasing the ability to concentrate through activation of brain waves; it is also effective in decreasing anxiety [24][25][26].…”

“…As such, several prior studies have demonstrated that many people are visiting forests to benefit from its healing effects, and bamboo groves have excellent forest healing environments [22][23][24][25][26][27]. However, while existing studies have been actively studying phytoncide diffusion characteristics of coniferous and broadleaf forests, analysis of the NVOC characteristics with a focus on bamboo groves is lacking.…”

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, people in countries around the world including the United Kingdom, Denmark, Canada, and South Korea are seeking physiological and psychological healing by visiting forests as stay-at-home orders continue. NVOCs (natural volatile organic compounds), a major healing factor of forests, have several positive effects on human health. This study specifically researched the NVOC characteristics of bamboo groves. This study revealed that α-pinene, 3-carene, and camphene were observed to emit the most, and the largest amount of NVOC emitted was seen during the early morning and late afternoon within bamboo groves. Furthermore, NVOC emission was found to have normal correlations with temperature and humidity, and inverse correlations with solar radiation, PAR (photosynthetically active radiation), and wind speed. A regression analysis conducted to predict the effect of microclimate factors on NVOC emissions resulted in a regression equation with 82.9% explanatory power, finding that PAR, temperature, and humidity had a significant effect on NVOC emission prediction. In conclusion, this study investigated NVOC emission of bamboo groves, examined the relationship between NVOC emissions and microclimate factors, and derived a prediction equation of NVOC emissions to figure out bamboo groves’ forest healing effects. These results are expected to provide a basis for establishing more effective forest healing programs in bamboo groves.

After the COVID-19 outbreak, more and more people are seeking physiological and psychological healing by visiting the forest as the time of stay-at-home became longer. NVOC, a major healing factor of forests, has several positive effects on human health, and this study researched about the NVOC characteristics of bamboo groves. The study revealed that α-pinene, 3-carene, and camphene were the most emitted, and the largest amount of NVOC was emitted in the early morning and late afternoon in bamboo groves.
