| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we measured and summarized traits of leaf and woods of the diverse tree species in the long-term dynamics plot in a warm temperate rain forest. We also summarized the long-term observation data of tree census and developed a framework for understanding the effects of traits on the growth and survival of coexisting tree species. Based on the initial models, a new model accounting for more complex effects is currently under development. The obtained data from such models will be useful for assessing forest carbon stocks and species diversity. In addition, the trait data obtained in this study will eventually be published in an international database, which will contribute to the assessment of diversity and ecosystem function based on functional traits.
