| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to conserve the biodiversity of ‘the traditional tea-grass integrated system in Shizuoka’, which is a globally important agricultural heritage system site, we studied the flora in a semi-natural grassland, called Chagusaba, focusing on the intra-area and inter-area biodiversity. We observed that this semi-natural grassland was conserved because of traditional agricultural practices involving crops such as potato, finger millet, taro, shiitake mushroom, and silk sheath pea. We also observed differences in the flora between the upstream and downstream areas owing to the different management practices followed. Our findings indicate that maintaining the diversity of agricultural methods in each area is important to maintain the biodiversity in Chagusaba.
