| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, anthropogenic vegetation change has been documented in various mountain regions of the world. However, it’s still not clear whether vegetation changes occur or not in most of Japanese mountains. One of the major reasons of such ambiguous knowledge is the lack of old vegetation investigations at the high altitude regions. Past photographs are potentially valuable to collect information about the vegetation change in mountain area by comparing recent photographs. Therefore, we made a database to store time series mountain photographs.
I have retaken the new pictures at same place in same season with old pictures and compared the new one with old one. These pictures were geometrically corrected and utilized to detect vegetation change quantitatively.
