Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We grasped the occurrence of wetland plant species growing in the agricultural canals in a lowland paddy region on the Echigo Plain, central Japan. First, we classified the canals according to their structure and function, such as soil- or concrete-lined, end small- or branch medium-sized, and irrigate or drain canals. Second, we compared plant species richness and taxonomic composition among these different types of canals. Third, using Bayesian method we analyzed the effects of different landscape elements, such as old wetland, geographical features, and different river basins on the occurrence of wetland plant species. According to the results, we suggested desirable agricultural canal that preserve soil-lined irrigation in which most rare floating-leaved and submerged species occurred only.
