| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is supposed that global warming affects forest vegetation. This study aimed to examine effects of global warming on the ecosystem functions (especially for carbon cycling) and vegetation distribution, based on the field survey of forest regeneration. For this purpose, this study examined the forest dynamics, mechanisms of ecotone formation, effects of meteorological conditions on tree growth, carbon cycling and long-term changes of forest biomass along an elevational gradient in the subalpine zone on Mt. Norikura in central Japan. The results obtained in this study contribute to the prediction of effects of global warming on the subalpine forest vegetation.
