| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined effects of clearcutting and deer-exclosure installation on the forest floor vegetation of abandoned woodlands. Clearcutting improved light environment of forest floor helped germination of herbivory-tolerant or herbivory-resistant plants. Ground cover of understory vegetation increased to >45% by clearcutting even without installation of deer-exclosure; no significant recovery was found under closed canopy. Clearcutting increased inter- and intra-species variation in traits related to growth, photosynthesis and herbivory defence among forest-floor plants, increasing diversity of functional traits. Improvement of light environment of abandoned woodland would promote regeneration of many herbivory-tolerant species and also benefit growth and defence behaviour. These effects are expected to increase herbivory-toleance of forest vegetation.
