| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A teacher training program introducing achievements of plant ecological researches was designed to enhance the scientific problem-solving skills of graduate students at Joetsu University of Education. In the program, the participants considered possible hypotheses that explained the reason why the giant lilies (Cardiocrinum cordatum) inhabiting northern Japan were larger than that inhabiting southern Japan focusing on the independent and dependent variables.
Ecological field researches were also conducted in the Joetsu region. The relationship between climate conditions and size variation in leaves and individual plants in the giant lily and fringed galax (Chizocodon soldanelloides) was examined. Such variation in plants was significantly affected by the amount of solar radiation, although the influence of snow accumulation on it had been suspected.
