Research Abstract

To understand the influences on Carbon and Nitrogen flow by forest managements, we conducted the experimental managements (clear-cutting, removal of surface soil and buck-fill) and investigated the root stock in mixed forest in northern Hokkaido. Rootstock were limited to a narrow range(70cm depth under forest-floor) and the volume of rootstock was 1.43% and carbon storage was 29.6t・ha-1. But rootstock has functions to stock the carbon and moderate the material flow when clear-cutting or removal of soil surface and back-fill has conducted.
