Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to examine the role of plant-soil feedback in tree community assembly and multi-species coexistence mechanism using a trait-based approach. In a 1.2-ha study plot in the Ogawa Forest Reserve (Ibaraki), where population dynamic data and functional traits of adult and juvenile trees on all coexisting tree species have been accumulated, trait data of current-year seedlings and seedlings older than one year were newly collected. In addition, soil biotic and abiotic properties were measured at 10m x 10m grid points within the study area to develop the spatial data on soil properties. This allowed us to analyze the relationship between plant functional traits and population dynamics across growth stages and to analyze the determinants of soil properties. We found that soil properties are influenced by the community-weighted mean of some functional traits of above-ground trees and litter pool on the forest floor.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果は、森林生態系でこれまでほとんど実証されてこなかった、樹木群集の多種共存機構における植物―土壌フィードバックの重要性の理解につながるものである。森林樹木群集の形成や多種共存機構の包括的理解は、将来の気候変動や土地利用変化に対し、森林の生態系サービス変化を予測するための不可欠な知見を与えるだろう。
