Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is supposed that global warming affects forest vegetation. This study aimed to examine effects of global warming on the ecosystem functions (especially for carbon cycling) and vegetation distribution, based on the field survey of forest regeneration. For this purpose, this study examined the forest dynamics, mechanisms of ecotone formation, effects of meteorological conditions on tree growth, carbon cycling and long-term changes of forest biomass along an elevational gradient in the subalpine zone on Mt. Norikura in central Japan. The results obtained in this study contribute to the prediction of effects of global warming on the subalpine forest vegetation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では,新規加入が標高傾度にそった種の分布形成に大きく関与していること,シラビソはオオシラビソに比べて高い標高で光合成速度が減少しやすいこと,亜高山帯の分布上限ではダケカンバが優占すること,温暖化は森林の炭素循環を変化させること,森林の現存量と樹冠高は高標高ではほとんど変化していなかったことを明らかにした.得られた結果は,亜高山帯林の温暖化に対する応答予測に役立てると考えられる.
