| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to evaluate the conditions necessary for the establishment of an avalanche protection forest on a steep slope mounted with wooden anti-glide tripods. We investigated seven forest stands, past about 10 years after construction of tripods and planting of sugi seedlings. We evaluated the survival rates of the tripods and stand densities of erect sugi trees, which had grown up to twice the annual maximum snow depth. Survival rates of the tripods decreased to ca. 80% and 40% after 9 and 12 years, respectively. On the other hand, under the conditions of 2,500 trees/ha, stand densities of erect sugi trees were estimated to be 900 and 1,500 trees/ha after 9 and 12 years, respectively. It is considered that snow cover can be stabilized in more than 1,000 trees/ha of erect sugi. These results suggested that, for avalanche protection, sugi forests can be successfully established with wooden tripods on a steep, plain slope, under 2 m of annual maximum snow depth.
