| Research Abstract |
This study proposed methods for detecting impacts of climate change on terrestrial ecosystem using ecological modeling and monitoring. Mt. Apoi in the southern Hokkaido was selected as high-risk area by comparison of projected natural vegetation distributions between under climate change and present climate conditions using the terrestrial ecosystem model. Image analyses of remotely sensed data (Landsat TM5) for estimation of spatial distribution of vegetated area in Mt. Apoi suggested the expansion of woody plants area between 1985 and 2000.
