| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Cryptomeria japonica which is an important afforestation tree species,the heartwood moisture content largely varies among individuals. However, it is not sufficiently understood about the origin of water, movement pathway and movement accumulation mechanism which determine the moisture content of the heartwood.
In this study, we analyzed the apoplastic pathway of water accumulation in the heartwood of C. japonica, and analyzed the distribution of sapwood and heartwood at a certain tree height in tissue level.
The number of annual rings in sapwood declined as the trunk height increased. On the other hand, the radial distance from the bark to the heartwood did not change in each height. This result shows some annual rings have heartwood at the upper part and have sapwood at the lower part, and suggest the existence of an axial water movement pathway not via the annual ring boundary.
