There is a significant positive relationship between exposure to forest environments and physical and mental health. However, there are individual differences within these responses, and this phenomenon has posed questions in various fields. Here, we show that the physiological effect of a forest environment can differ depending on a subject's initial values and that forests have a physiological adjustment effect close to an appropriate level. Subjects with high initial blood pressure and pulse rate showed a decrease in these values after walking in a forested area, whereas those with low initial values showed an increase. There was no physiological adjustment effect observed in an urban area; thus, these effects are specific to a forest environment.
接触森林环境与身心健康之间存在显著的正相关关系。然而，这些反应存在个体差异，这一现象在各个领域都引发了问题。在此，我们表明森林环境的生理效应会因受试者的初始值而异，并且森林具有使生理状态接近适宜水平的调节作用。初始血压和脉搏率较高的受试者在林区行走后这些数值会下降，而初始值较低的受试者则会上升。在城市地区未观察到生理调节作用；因此，这些效应是森林环境所特有的。
