| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to construct the strong coastal forests against tsunamis, we evaluated the influence of forest management on the tsunami resistance of Pinus thunbergii Parlat. forests using a mechanistic model. We set up three forest management types, which were sparse (sparse type: ST), middle (middle type: MT), and dense (dense type: DT) stand. As an indicator expressing resistance to tsunami, critical velocity required to overturn or break the trunk of trees was calculated. The critical velocity increased with increasing tree growth and the value of critical velocity differed among management types. ST was the most resistant to tsunami of the three forest management types. However, our results showed that when water depth exceeds 8 m, forests were completely destroyed and the limitation existed on improving its resistance. Moreover, the forest management was found to have a possibility to control damage phenomena (overturning or trunk breakage) of trees by tsunamis in coastal forests.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
東北地方太平洋沖地震津波による人的被害および経済的被害は甚大である。今後、津波発生の危険性が高まりつつある中、海岸林が果たす防災機能を効果的に発揮することが求められている。本研究では、海岸林の津波抵抗性を定量的に評価し、適切な森林管理によりその抵抗性を向上させる事が可能であることを示した。これらの成果は、海岸林が防潮機能を発揮し、減災効果を発揮するための基礎的知見の一つとなる。
