Model Forests in Kasuya Research Forest(2)
The ninth Kasuya Research Forest Management Plan (2015-2024) designated the model forests with characteristic standstructure and species composition in the Research Forest. We surveyed the stands of Cinnamomum camphola model forest, foreignCupressaceae species model forest, Chamaecyparis obtusa model forest, and Takada foreign tree species model forest. In themonitoring plot (400m2) of the C. camphola model forest, 91% of the basal area was composed by C. camphola. The mean diameter atbreast height (DBH) of 37 C. camphola trees was 42.0cm. There was no C. camphola sapling in the plot. In the foreign Cupressaceaespecies model forest, 18 Cunninghamia lanceolate trees and 7 Cunninghamia konishii trees survived. The mean DBHs and meanheights of the two species were 33.4 cm and 32.0 cm, and 19.7m and 20.6m, respectively. In the Chamaecyparis obtusa model forest,the tree density, basal area, mean DBH and mean height were 425 tree / ha, 64.2m2/ha, 43.7cm and 25.6m, respectively. In the Takadaforeign tree species model forest, there were 75 species of 2955 trees larger than 15cm in girth at breast height. These values are lessthan one seventh for species number and less than one half for the tree number comparing with those in 1935 when the model forestwas established.. |

Potential effect on aerosol formation by diterpene emissions from dominant coniferous trees (Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa) in Japan
Recent decades, many efforts have been made to investigate biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) due to their significant impact on atmospheric chemistry and physics. On the other hand, atmospheric modeling studies have suggested that there is likely to be significant amount of unknown reactive organic compounds in the atmosphere. In this study, we focused on high molecular weight BVOC such as BVOC larger than C15 emitted from the most and 2nd dominant coniferous trees in Japan and have conducted field campaigns at two different sites. As a result, significant emissions of diterpenes have been discovered. I would like to present about the significant emission of the diterpenes and their potential impact on atmospheric chemistry and aerosol formation.. |

ヤンバルオオフトミミズによって作り出された地表面の微小生息場所に生息する小型節足動物群集，特にササラダニの群集構造を比較した．ヤンバルオオフトミミズは沖縄本島北部にのみ生息し，日本で初めて見つかった土壌穿孔表層採餌種（anecic）である．本種は地下約20cmに横走する坑道に住み，落葉を土壌表面の入口に集めた上で摂食し，土壌と混じった糞を出口に排泄する．糞塊は20cmほどの塔状になる．集められた落葉はmiddenと呼ばれている．照葉樹林は秋に一度に落葉が集中するのではなく，春と秋を中心に長い時間にわたって落葉が供給される．沖縄では気温が高いため，落葉の分解速度は高い．ミミズにとっては落葉を他の分解者に利用されないように自分の生息場所であるmiddenに集めていると考えられる．坑道やmiddenではミミズから供給される可溶性炭素や窒素が栄養源となって微生物の活性が高く，微生物バイオマスも多いと考えた． リターの堆積量は糞塊の周囲で最も多く，middenとミミズの影響のない土壌では差がなかった．ササラダニの個体数密度はリター層ではミミズの影響のない土壌できわめて少なく，middenと糞塊でほぼ同じ程度であった．一方，土壌層ではミミズの影響のない土壌で最も少なく，糞塊よりもmiddenでの密度が高かった．ササラダニの種数はミミズの影響のない土壌と糞塊で差がなかったが，middenではこれらの倍近い値を示した．これらのことからヤンバルオオフトミミズは落葉資源を移動させ，土壌と混合することによって地表面の微小生息場所の多様性を高め，ササラダニの密度と多様性を大きく高めており，生態系改変者として土壌生物群集に大きな影響を与えていた．. |

Effect of typhoon disturbance on nutrient cycling in a subtropical forest in Okinawa
Typhoon is frequent in Okinawa, and is the most important natural disturbance affecting the forest. The effects of typhoon disturbance on fine litterfall, litter decomposition, and precipitation partitioning were studied in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest on Okinawa Island over 5 years. Mean annual fine litterfall and bulk precipitation were 7.56 Mg/ha and 3324 mm, respectively. Mean nutrient inputs (kg/ha) resulting from typhoon activities were, respectively, 29.5 for N, 1.86 for P, 26.9 for K, 37.3 for Ca, and 12.5 for Mg. These values covered about 27 %～37 % of the annual total for the relevant elements. Litterfall resulting from typhoon decomposed more rapidly than the normal litter. The results from the study demonstrate that typhoon has a strong effect on nutrient cycling in the forest ecosystem in Okinawa.. |
