Research Abstract |
In the area the bamboo(Melocanna baccifera) flowered gregariously and died in Mizoram, India, recovery process was monitored by the research of vegetation surveys and the DNA analysis. In addition, trials of extraction of the flowering area in a broad scale, a discussion of the relationship between productivity of shifting cultivation agriculture and flowering timing, the change of rodent population, were done. Through the broad area research using satellite images the flowering of this species occurred in waves for several years in its distributing area. The practice of shifting cultivation agriculture influences good results for the recovery of this species in many cases. The change of rodent population converged in a few years after flowering.
