In Japan, when spring arrives, the blooming cherry blossoms paint the sky and soothe our hearts. It's a shared sentiment among those living in this country to wish for this breathtaking scenery to last forever. However, did you know that changes in the global environment could potentially impact cherry blossoms?
🌸 The "Winter Chill" Cherry Blossoms Need to Bloom
Cherry blossom buds are formed in the summer and enter a "dormant state" during the fall and winter. They awaken after experiencing the harsh cold of winter, completing their preparation to bloom fully in spring. This process of awakening from dormancy is known as "dormancy breaking" and is an essential natural mechanism for cherry blossoms to bloom. In other words, the cold of winter plays a vital role in enabling cherry blossoms to bloom in spring.
🌸 How Global Warming Impacts Cherry Blossoms
In recent years, due to global warming, there have been increasingly mild winters. If warming continues at this rate, cherry blossom buds might remain dormant, no longer awakening to bloom into the beloved flowers we cherish. To ensure that cherry blossoms continue to bloom in the future, it’s crucial to take steps, even small ones, to protect our environment.
