Research Abstract |
On the slope of Mt. Yatsugatake, we investigated the effects of the past land use on the soil property and plant nutrient use. Past land use for each site was determined by the information of old maps, drawings and aerial pictures. We observed the brown forest soil on the forests already existed before Meiji era, black and brown forest soil on the forests changed from grassland after Meiji era, black soil on the sites used as continuously used as grassland. The black soil seemed to accumulate more carbon than the brown soil. Decomposition of filter paper was faster in older forests than in grasslands. Nitrogen concentration in fresh larch needles tended to be higher in the older forests probably because soil nitrogen continuously accumulated after stopping to take out the organic matter from for the site. These results suggested that the conversion from grasslands to forests caused the change of soil property, decomposition process and nitrogen utilization pattern for the plants.
