| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to investigate the impacts of typhoon disturbance on biodiversity and ecosystem functions in a subtropical forest in the Ryukyu Archipelago. Specifically, we focused on the following issues:
1) the response of taxonomic and functional diversity in a subtropical forest to typhoon disturbance
2) adaptive managements of forest ecosystem under a severe typhoon disturbance regime
3) spatio-temporal dynamics of an alien species population in response to natural/anthropogenic disturbances, 4) the impacts of climate changes on biodiversity patterns in an insular biological community.
