Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In temperate natural forests of hills and mountains of the southern Kanto region, we investigated the topographical niche and traits of major tree species. Based on analyses for entire catchment areas, trends were detected that the niche positions on the habitat axis as suitable - unsuitable gradient for general plant growth had a phylogenetic signal, while niche positions relating land disturbances were relatively recently derived. Clades distributed in the disturbed areas near valleys tended to have an East Asian endemic geographical distribution. It was suggested that the macro and long-time scale topographical development and plant evolution were reflected in the local and current tree species arrangements on the temperate East Asian forests.
