Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To clarify the mechanisms of variations in radial growth of Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa due to climate change, we conducted three experiments. The seasonal changes in photosynthesis parameters and in radial growths were observed and photosynthesis models were developed for every months. Seasonal changes in translocation of photosynthate to xylem were observed by stable isotope tracing techniques. The changes in Gross Primary Production (GPP) by temperature changes were estimated by a carbon balance model which based on forest carbon flux measurement at TKC site. The results revealed good synchronization between GPP and radial growth that were mainly affected by temperature from winter to spring. The physiological observations on photosynthesis and translocation of photosynthate also consistent with the statistical results. The carbon balance model and observed physiological parameters have potential development of a forecasting model of radial growth changes.
