Marly Orrego, Shin Ugawa, Akio Inoue, Sophie Laplace, Tomonori Kume, Shinya Koga, Takuo Hishi, Tsutomu Enoki, Climate, Soil, and Plant Controls on Early-Stage Litter Decomposition in Moso Bamboo Stands at a Regional Scale, Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 10.3389/ffgc.2022.921028, 5, 2022.07, Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is currently distributed across a wide geographical area in East Asia. As a common bamboo species occurring along a broad environmental gradient, there is a need to understand how environmental and biotic drivers affect belowground processes at large scales. In this study, we investigated the influence of climate, soil properties, stand characteristics, and organic matter input parameters as potential drivers of the initial decomposition process in Moso bamboo stands at a regional scale. Using the Tea Bag Index method, we estimated the initial decomposition rate (k) and stabilization factor (S; potential long-term carbon storage) from standard litter incubated at 13 sites across southern Japan and Taiwan. We found that both decomposition parameters were strongly affected by the climate. The climatic conditions during the incubation period better explained the variance in k. In contrast, the long-term climate was more important for S. Notably, temperature and precipitation interactively affected the initial decomposition rates. This interaction showed that in warmer sites, precipitation increased k, whereas in cooler sites, precipitation had no effect or even decreased k. Soil parameters had no influence on k and only had minor effects on S. A structural equation model showed that the stabilization factor was indirectly affected by stand density, which suggests that higher bamboo densities could increase litter stabilization by increasing above-and below-ground organic matter input. Our study highlights the central role of climate in controlling decomposition processes in Moso bamboo stands on a broad scale. Moreover, differences in stand structure can indirectly affect potential soil carbon storage through changes in organic matter input and soil conditions..

In this study, we measured the respiration rates of current year, 2, 3, and above 4-year-old Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) culms and examined its relation to culm morphology and anatomical structure. Current year culms had substantially higher respiration rates (1.9 ± 0.46 μmol m–2 s–1) compared to older culms (2, 3, and above 4-year-old average: 0.17 ± 0.09 μmol m–2 s–1). Culm wood density increased with age, with the concurrent thickening of parenchyma cell walls in the culm tissue. Nitrogen content in the culm tissue decreased with culm age. Both culm wood density and nitrogen content had significant relationships with culm respiration rate. On the other hand, culm height, wall thickness, and circumference did not affect culm respiration rate. Although bamboo culms did not change in size through the year, anatomical changes in the culm tissue that accompanied the aging of a culm affected the respiration. The culm age would have a significant effect on the evaluation of the respiratory characteristics of the bamboo forest. Our results suggested that young culms required a large amount of respiration to grow “inward” as cell wall thickening and also to maintain the relatively large amount of active tissue..

Kohei Shimono, Ayumi Katayama, Tomonori Kume, Tsutomu Enoki, Masaaki Chiwa, Takuo Hishi, Differences in net primary production allocation and nitrogen use efficiency between Moso bamboo and Japanese cedar forests along a slope, JOURNAL OF FOREST RESEARCH, 10.1080/13416979.2021.1965280, 27, 1, 28-35, 2021.08, The responses of forest production and nitrogen (N) utilization to belowground resource availability may be stronger in Moso bamboo forests than in woody forests because the former have higher N and water demands than the latter. The aim of this study was to clarify the different effects of mountain slope-induced belowground resource limitation on forest production between a Moso bamboo forest and a Japanese cedar forest. We compared the changes in biomass, net primary production, net primary production allocation, N utilization, N content per organ, and N use efficiency in response to soil resource availability at five different slope positions in each forest type. In the bamboo forest, the aboveground net primary production decreased upslope and the belowground net primary production allocation increased with decreasing upslope soil water availability. In contrast, leaf N content of the bamboo forest increased upslope, and N use efficiency decreased upslope with an increasing upslope soil N mineralization rate. Although a greater N use efficiency has often been reported at higher slope positions due to lower N availability, this phenomenon was observed at lower slope position in the bamboo forest. The soil N supply might exceed the soil N demand at higher slope positions, resulting in lower N use efficiency. The responses observed in the bamboo forest were absent in the Japanese cedar forest. The higher demand for belowground resources and environmental plasticity explained the higher productivity of the bamboo forest..

In particular, the effects of climate and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on litter decomposition and its temporal dynamics are of significant importance, since their effects might change over the course of the decomposition process. Within the TeaComposition initiative, we incubated Green and Rooibos teas at 524 sites across nine biomes. We assessed how macroclimate and atmospheric inorganic N deposition under current and predicted scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 8.5) might affect litter mass loss measured after 3 and 12 months. Our study shows that the early to mid-term mass loss at the global scale was affected predominantly by litter quality (explaining 73% and 62% of the total variance after 3 and 12 months, respectively) followed by climate and N deposition. The effects of climate were not litter-specific and became increasingly significant as decomposition progressed, with MAP explaining 2% and MAT 4% of the variation after 12 months of incubation. The effect of N deposition was litter-specific, and significant only for 12-month decomposition of Rooibos tea at the global scale. However, in the temperate biome where atmospheric N deposition rates are relatively high, the 12-month mass loss of Green and Rooibos teas decreased significantly with increasing N deposition, explaining 9.5% and 1.1% of the variance, respectively. The expected changes in macroclimate and N deposition at the global scale by the end of this century are estimated to increase the 12-month mass loss of easily decomposable litter by 1.1-3.5% and of the more stable substrates by 3.8-10.6%, relative to current mass loss. In contrast, expected changes in atmospheric N deposition will decrease the mid-term mass loss of high-quality litter by 1.4-2.2% and that of low-quality litter by 0.9-1.5% in the temperate biome. Our results suggest that projected increases in N deposition may have the capacity to dampen the climate-driven increases in litter decomposition depending on the biome and decomposition stage of substrate..

Sampled network sites were part of the Monitoring Sites 1000 Project organized by the Ministry of the Environment. Sites were located across a range of climate zones, from subarctic to subtropical, and broadleaf trees (both evergreen and deciduous) were targeted at each site. Litterfall traps were used to assess leaf damage caused by leaf-chewing insects in 2014 and 2015. Using a standardized protocol, we assessed herbivory on 117,918 leaves of 39 dominant tree species. Preliminary analyses suggest that insect herbivory increases with increasing latitude for deciduous broadleaf species. In particular, oak (Quercus crispula) and beech (Fagus crenata) were subject to increased insect herbivory with increasing latitude. In contrast, insect herbivory decreased with increasing latitude in evergreen broadleaf species. The latitudinal gradient of herbivory differed according to leaf type (i.e., evergreen or deciduous). This dataset offers excellent opportunities for meta-analysis and comparative studies of herbivory among various forest types. The complete dataset for this abstract published in the Data Paper section of the journal is available in electronic format in MetaCat in JaLTER at ..

2015年5月に九州大学北海道演習林内のカラマツ人工林に発生した山火事跡地において,焼失したミヤコザサの回復過程と,林床における木本および草本植物の更新動態を調査した。2015年7月,山火事跡地(山火事区)において山火事後に回復したミヤコザサの被度,稈高,バイオマスは,隣接する非焼失地(対照区)のそれぞれ83,70,38%であった。2016年7月,2017年7月とも山火事区のミヤコザサの被度,稈高,バイオマスは対照区と有意な差がなかった。2016年に山火事区の林床に出現した草本・木本の種数は対照区の2倍近くあった。出現種数は2017年も同様であったが種組成は変化した。山火事区と対照区の群集の違いをPERMANOVAにより検定した結果,山火事区では山火事発生後に対照区と異なる組成の植物群集が形成され,その後2年間は維持されたと考えられた。

The Japanese archipelago spans several biomes (boreal-temperate-subtropical) and covers a large range of elevations and ecosystem types. Hence, the comprehension of this fundamental biogeochemical process in diverse ecosystems is crucial to maintain their ecosystem services. In this article, we have provided data on plant leaf decomposition from 33 research sites across Japan. At each site, standard litter material with different decomposition rates, rooibos tea and green tea were incubated for 90 days between 2012 and 2016 and the remaining mass was recorded. In total, 1904 bags were used. In addition, supplementary measurements of environmental variables essential for the interpretation of the collected data, such as soil and vegetation, were recorded. Plot-level averages of the remaining mass rates of bag contents after incubation ranged 0.17–0.51 for green tea and 0.54–0.82 for rooibos tea. Continued monitoring will also provide important insights into the temporal dynamics of litter decomposition..

The effects of tree age and radial growth rate on frequency of discontinuous rings and their interspecific differences were evaluated by a generalized linear mixed-effect model. Discontinuous rings were observed in 29 of the 31 species in 330 individuals, which is about 75% of the total number of individuals examined. The number of discontinuous rings proportionally decreased with the growth rate and increased with the tree age. On the other hand, the effects of the growth rate were different among species. The majority of species at the study site contained frequent discontinuous rings in the trunk base. Annual-ring counts from a single core would lead to underestimation of tree ages in this case. Stem disks or increment cores taken in multiple directions at ground level would be useful for accurate estimation of tree age in temperate hardwood forests..

We investigated changes in above- and belowground NPP, N uptake, and NUE in response to changes in soil N in natural forests and plantations, with and without changes in species compositions among the environmental gradient, respectively. In plantations, NPP increased with increasing availability of soil N in the presence of constant NUE and the proportion of belowground NPP to total NPP. However, in natural forests, aboveground, belowground, and total NPP were high for the available middle range soil N. Belowground NPP and the proportion of belowground NPP to total NPP in natural forests was positively related to aboveground NPP. Both belowground NPP and soil N mineralization rates explained stand N uptake rates. These results indicated that belowground allocation might facilitate aboveground NPP with enhancement of N uptake by root allocation. Stand NUE decreased with soil N availability in natural forests and was stable in plantations, and resulted in lower production in natural forests and higher production in plantations under high soil N availability. The community weighted mean (CWM) of N resorption efficiency was positively related to NUE. The CWM of juvenile root growth, as reported previously for planted juveniles, was positively related to belowground NPP allocation. In addition, the ranges of CWMs were broader in natural forests than in plantations. This suggested that the different changes in NPP in response to changes in soil N between natural forests and plantations was due to the changes in leaf and root species traits via changing in species composition among sites. In conclusion, the present study showed that the changes in species specific traits in root growth and leaf N strongly affected the relationship between soil N availability and stand carbon and N dynamics..

Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the controls on the terrestrial carbon transfer to the atmosphere. However, previous studies were mostly based on site-specific litter and methodologies, adding major uncertainty to syntheses, comparisons and meta-analyses across different experiments and sites. In the TeaComposition initiative, the potential litter decomposition is investigated by using standardized substrates (Rooibos and Green tea) for comparison of litter mass loss at 336 sites (ranging from −9 to +26 °C MAT and from 60 to 3113 mm MAP) across different ecosystems. In this study we tested the effect of climate (temperature and moisture), litter type and land-use on early stage decomposition (3 months) across nine biomes. We show that litter quality was the predominant controlling factor in early stage litter decomposition, which explained about 65% of the variability in litter decomposition at a global scale. The effect of climate, on the other hand, was not litter specific and explained

Ayumi Katayama, Tsutomu Enoki, Tomonori Kume, Kyoichi Otsuki, Characteristics of soil respiration in upper and lower slope positions with different aboveground biomass: A case study in a Japanese cypress forest, Journal of Agricultural Meteorology, 10.2480/agrmet.D-17-00019, 74, 2, 63-70, 2018.04, [URL], Differences in aboveground biomass alonga slope position are often overserved because of varyinglevels of nutrient availability. Such differences can affect the spatial variation in soil respiration (Rsoil) via changes in biological factors (e.g., fine root biomass and litter mass), in addition to environmental factors. This study clarified the differences in Rsoil and the factors affecting Rsoil, between the upper and lower slope positions with contrastingaboveground biomass, within a small watershed covered by a Japanese cypress forest. The soil water content (SWC) was lower, whereas the soil temperature (Tsoil) and fine root biomass were higher in the upper plot (UP) than in the lower plot (LP). Rsoil was negatively correlated with SWC, but positively correlated with Tsoil and fine root biomass. These results gave rise to a positive effect of Rsoil on the UP. However, Rsoil was comparable between the plots. The results from a multiple linear regression model indicated that factors other than SWC, Tsoil, and fine root biomass increased Rsoil in the LP. We speculate that high litterfall could enhance Rsoil in the LP, as litterfall is an important source of decomposed respiration. The higher aboveground net primary production and lower fine root biomass in the LP suggest that more carbon was allocated aboveground and less carbon was allocated belowground, resultingin comparable Rsoil but different contribution of aboveground and belowground sources on Rsoil between the plots. It is considered that differences in phosphorus availability between the plots caused the different carbon allocation patterns, even at a small spatial scale of less than 100 m..

Aboveground biomass in control and treatment plot was lower than broad leave forests in Kasuya Research forest. Two-year cycle for new culm and harvested bamboo shoot was not observed and inter-annual variation in aboveground biomass increment was very high. Aboveground biomass increment was higher than those for forests in Kasuya research forest, suggesting that abandoned bamboo forests have very high productivity. Bamboo shoot harvest decreased aboveground biomass, but did not affect number of harvested bamboo shoot. High inter-annual variation in new culms suggests that longer-time monitoring is necessary to examine dynamics of bamboo forest..

In the study site, sika deer (Cervus nippon) have reduced understory vegetation since the 1990s, denuding it since the 2000s. Most of the recruitment in the second half of the study period (1996–2014) consisted of tree species that sika deer cannot consume, such as Illicium anisatum and Pieris japonica subsp. japonica. Smaller trees had higher mortality throughout the study period. Neighboring trees affected the tree mortality significantly in the first half of the study period (1984–1996), while they did not significantly affect it in the second half. However, neighboring trees significantly affected the growth rate of trees throughout study period. Based on our findings, we speculate that an increase in sika deer population may have affected the competition between individual trees in the mixed forest. The effects of tree size and neighboring trees on mortality and growth varied depending on the growth form groups and the species.九州大学農学部附属宮崎演習林内の針広混交林において,樹木サイズと隣接個体の胸高断面積合計が樹木の成長と枯死に及ぼす影響を,シカの個体数が増加した30 年間の前期(1984-1996 年)と後期(1996-2014 年)とで比較した。本調査地では下層植生が1990 年代から衰退し,2000 年代ではほぼ消滅した。調査期間の後期に更新した樹木のほとんどは,シカが採食しないシキミとアセビであった。小径木は成長速度が遅く,枯死率が高い傾向が調査期間を通じて観察された。調査期間の前期では,隣接個体が枯死率に有意に影響を及ぼしていたが,後期では影響が見られなかった。一方,隣接個体の成長に及ぼす影響は調査期間を通じて観察された。以上の結果から,本調査地において,シカの個体数増加は樹木の個体間競争に影響を及ぼした可能性が示唆された。これらの影響は樹木の生活型や種によって異なっていた。.

The correspondence between the increase in the sighting number of sika deer (Cerbs nippon) and the occurrence of feeding damage in plantations were also analyzed. The sighiting number of Sika deer showed a maximum value in 2013 after four years of increase from 2009. In 2012, the sighting number had reached 80% of the maximum value. Feeding damage to the understory was detected in 2011 and the damage to the planted trees was confirmed in 2012. The sighting number of sika deer increased in a short period, and the feeding damaged the understory and planted trees in the next three years from the occurrence of the sighting number increased..

Such understanding will enable anticipation of region-specific responses to global environmental change. Modern phylogenies, in combination with broad coverage of species inventory data, now allow for global biogeographic analyses that take species evolutionary distance into account. Here we present a classification of the world's tropical forests based on their phylogenetic similarity. We identify five principal floristic regions and their floristic relationships: (i) Indo-Pacific, (ii) Subtropical, (iii) African, (iv) American, and (v) Dry forests. Our results do not support the traditional neo- versus paleotropical forest division but instead separate the combined American and African forests from their Indo-Pacific counterparts. We also find indications for the existence of a global dry forest region, with representatives in America, Africa, Madagascar, and India. Additionally, a northern-hemisphere Subtropical forest region was identified with representatives in Asia and America, providing support for a link between Asian and American northern-hemisphere forests..

We set up six study sites that had developed under different mean annual precipitation levels in the Ko'olau Mountains on the island of O'ahu, Hawai'i. Accumulated litter mass and soil pH decreased with precipitation in the native stands. Invasion by P. cattleianum increased the amount of litter and reduced the differences in soil water content and pH among the sites. We compared the decomposition process using the Tea Bag Index, which is determined by the difference in dry mass of commercially available green and rooibos teas in nylon mesh bags before and after 90 days of burial. Psidium cattleianum increased the initial litter decomposition rate irrespective of precipitation and other soil properties. On the other hand, P. cattleianum increased the long-term litter stabilization factor of the Tea Bag Index in wetter sites. The accumulation of litter was likely caused by indirect effects of P. cattleianum through the alteration of soil moisture properties. In summary, this study shows that invasion by P. cattleianum could alter the soil properties in both wet and mesic sites, suggesting the possibility of change in composition and/or function of decomposers..

We identified the trees measured in the former study, and measured stand structure and species composition again. The understory had mostly been denuded by sika deer browsing in 2013, while Sasa borealis covered the forest floor thickly in 1971. The number of species and stems of trees taller than 2m in height also decreased largely. Especially, the stem numbers of trees smaller than 5cm in diameter at breast height (DBH) decreased up to 20%. The growth rate of conifer larger than or equal to 5cm in DBH was larger than those of broad-leaved trees. The mortality of deciduous trees was smaller than those of evergreen trees. The larger growth rate of Abies firma corresponded to the larger dominance of A. firma than Tsuga sieboldii. The low mortality of T. sieboldii suggested that the dominance of T. sieboldii would increase in the future. Further, the stand would be dominated by two species sika deer cannot consume, Illicium anisatum and Pieris japonica subsp. japonica, because no species other than the two species regenerated in the stands..

Average annual increments of total biomass were 3.3, 3.9 and 7.1 Mg/ha/yr, with the mean of 4.8 Mg/ha/yr, at Kasebaru, Maruju and Hirono, respectively. The decline in stem density was mainly due to mortality of the individuals which have less than 20 cm in stem diameter. The number of recruitment individuals with >15cm in girth at breast height was less than that of dead individuals with >15cm in girth at breast height at the all plots. During the 8 years, species composition and diversity index were not changed at the all plots. The long-lasting decline of small trees may result in the decline of forest biomass and productivity..

To evaluate the effects of culling on the spatial distribution patterns of sika deer and browse damage to planted seedlings, we compared the data collected before and after experimental culling in a cool, temperate, mixed forest on Kyushu Island, Japan. Experimental culling, conducted in an area of 1 km(2), removed five, four and two sika deer in April, June and October 2011, respectively. During the year before culling, the spatial pattern of the number of sika deer caught on camera corresponded to the predicted sika deer density. Sika deer immediately browsed planted seedlings after the initial planting. The cumulative number of browsed seedlings increased over time, especially in winter. The spatial pattern of the cumulative number of sika deer caught on camera corresponded to that of browsed seedlings at the year's end. During the year when culling was conducted, the number of sika deer caught on camera decreased around the center of the study site where the culling was conducted and the number of browsed seedlings decreased. During the year following culling, the cumulative number of browsed seedlings was very similar to that in the year before the culling, while the same low number of sika deer was caught on camera. These results indicate that the effects of deer culling resulted in decreased levels of sika deer appearance and browse damage for more than 1 year and for several months, respectively..

Makino et Shibata in the Shiiba Research Forest, Kyushu University (2,915ha) were compared between 2003 and 2014, to evaluate the effects of sika deer (Cervus nippon) on the forest floor vegetation. In 2003, S. borealis was not observed in most of Sampo-dake area (2,282 ha) and Kayahara-yama area (146 ha), while it was observed in most of Tsuno-dake area (487 ha). In 2014, S. borealis was declined in most of Tsuno-dake area. We recently obseved a rapid increase in sika deer density in the Tsuno-dake area on spotlight census. There was no area in which S. borealis recovered. S. borealis tended to remain in low elevation and in the area where silvicultural manipulation had been conducted during the period between the surveys..

Therefore, understanding how environmental factors affect N transformation rates is essential for the provision of sustainable ecosystem services. Because these factors are interlinked, it is important to consider direct and indirect structural relationships to better understand the factors contributing to N transformations. In this study, we analyzed the structural cause-effect relationships surrounding N transformations by structural equation modeling using a database containing net and gross N transformation rates and related soil chemical properties from 38 sites across the Japanese archipelago. The average net N mineralization and nitrification rates in the Japanese forest soils were 0.62 +/- 0.68 and 0.59 +/- 0.65 mg N kg(-1) d(-1), respectively, and gross N mineralization and nitrification rates were 4.22 +/- 3.59 and 0.98 +/- 0.68 mg N kg(-1) d(-1), respectively. Compared with previous large scale studies, net and gross N transformation rates in Japanese forest soils were considerably diverse despite their relatively small land area and were representative of temperate forest ecosystems. Structural equation modeling analysis showed that net N transformations were directly affected by gross N transformations, which in turn were significantly and directly affected by soil organic matter contents. Soil organic matter was significantly affected by organic layer amount, tree species and soil group. The effect of soil group was the greatest among these factors, suggesting that soil organic matter contents in Japanese forest soils were mainly influenced by soil parent materials. This was especially evident for Andosols, which are derived from volcanic sediments and contain large amounts of soil organic matter leading to high N transformation rates in the Japanese forest soils. Among the factors related to organic layers and mineral soil layers, soil organic matter content and organic layer amount, which represent substrate availability, had significant effects on gross and net N transformation rates. However, by refining the scale of the dataset using soil groups/soil parent materials, the influence of substrate quality and soil chemical properties on N transformations was suggested. From the current dataset, it was indicated that soil parent materials were the most important factor controlling the pattern of N transformations in the soil of Japanese forest ecosystems. This conclusion should be repeatedly refined considering the spatial distribution of factors such as climatic conditions and forest types with additional site datasets obtained from future surveys.

Spatial variability of N/P stoichiometry within a forested watershed has not yet been evaluated. This study conducted synoptic sampling of leaf matter in 27 plots within a temperate forested watershed on low P availability rock (serpentine bedrock) with a moderately high atmospheric N deposition (16 kg N ha(-1) year(-1)) to assess the effects of spatial topographic variation on N/P stoichiometry. Leaf N and P concentrations and N/P ratios of Japanese cypress were assessed, and their spatial variations were evaluated across a catchment. Average leaf P concentration was low (0.66+0.16 mg g(-1)) across the sites, while leaf N concentration was high (13.0 +/- 1.5 mg g(-1)); subsequently, N/P ratios were high (21 +/- 5). In addition, the aboveground biomass growth of Japanese cypress positively correlated with litter P, implying the P limitation of Japanese cypress at the study site. Leaf P concentrations responded to the index of convexity (IC) values more than those of N. Subsequently, the N/P ratio correlated with IC, suggesting that N/P ratios are susceptible to topographic features. This could be partly caused by smaller spatial variability of N availability compared with P, owing to increased atmospheric N deposition. Thus, topography should be taken into consideration when diagnosing P limitation caused by N deposition..

To make it efficient to collect the field data in a large scale, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is introduced in this study. An automated photogrammetric technique called Structure from Motion (SfM) is used to create 3D data out of photos collected by UAV. Tree structure created by SfM is compared with the 3D data obtained by several Terrestrial Laser Scanners to see the difference in vertical forest structure. Canopy structure is mainly captured by UAV-SfM and there is more point density around tree canopy than 3D data obtained by airborne laser. The point density of UAV around tree canopy is equivalent to that of TLS data, but tree trunk underneath the canopy cannot be reconstructed well, because the trunk is obscured by tree canopy and it is not visible on photos..

森林生態系の窒素動態変化を予測する上で、モデル化が欠かせないが、現状では、窒素動態モデルに容易に適用できる各種パラメーターのデータベース化が進んでいない。そこで本研究では、全国38カ所の森林サイトにおいて、20℃28日間の室内培養による純窒素無機化・硝化速度と、土壌の各種特性値を測定した。また、気候、土壌型、樹種、リター層の量と質、土壌有機物、酸性度、塩類濃度、総・純窒素無機化速度・硝化速度を潜在変数とする構造方程式モデリング(SEM)により、純窒素無機化・硝化速度に影響を及ぼす要因を明らかにした。
SEMにより、窒素無機化・硝化速度のサイト間変異の46%を説明することができた。土壌の有機物含有量(全炭素・窒素濃度)が最も影響の大きい要因であり、特に火山灰土壌の大きな有機物含量が高い純窒素無機化・硝化を引き起こしていた。.

The data set was collected and analyzed under the GRENE (Green Network of Excellence) environmental information project and the ReSIN (Regional and comparative Soil Incubation study on Nitrogen dynamics in forest ecosystems) project. The sites cover 44A degrees 20'N to 26A degrees 50'N and the climate ranges from cool-temperate zone to subtropical zone. At each site, litter on forest floor and soil samples (three or four layers to 50 cm depth) were collected between August and November in 2010-2013 from five soil profiles. From the litter layer samples, the stocks and concentrations of total carbon (C) and N were measured. From the mineral soil samples, bulk density, pH (H2O), total C and N concentrations, net and gross rates of N mineralization, nitrification and concentrations of water-soluble substances were measured. The measurements are relevant for other biogeochemical N studies in forest ecosystems and the data set provides basic information on the N pool and fluxes with related chemical properties of forest soils across the Japanese archipelago. The average rates of net and gross N transformation at 20 A degrees C across the sites were 0.26 +/- A 0.47 mgN kg(-1) soil d(-1) for net N mineralization, 0.25 +/- A 0.45 mgN kg(-1) soil d(-1) for net nitrification, 4.06 +/- A 0.47 mgN kg(-1) soil d(-1) for gross N mineralization, and 1.03 +/- A 1.29 mgN kg(-1) soil d(-1) for gross nitrification (average +/- A SD)..

Net N mineralization and nitrification rates were investigated via incubations of sieved soils transplanted from ten temperate forest ecosystems to two northern Japan sites with natural snowfall gradients. This was done to address: 1) how freeze-thaw cycles affect N mineralization and nitrification in temperate forest soils; 2) whether freeze-thaw cycles change the soil N transformation rates in the following growing season; and 3) which soil characteristics affect the response of the N transformation rates to freeze-thaw cycles. The effect of freeze-thaw cycles on inorganic N and dissolved organic carbon productions differed among soils, that is, some soils produced more inorganic N and dissolved organic carbon in the conditions imposed by freeze-thaw cycles than in the non-frozen treatment but the others did not. The response to the freeze(t)haw cycles was explained by soil microbial activity (gross N mineralization and nitrification rate) and soil fertility (inorganic N pools in the early spring and water soluble ions). Freeze-thaw cycles significantly increased N transformation rates in the following growing season, suggesting that winter climate change might also affect nutrient availability for vegetation and soil microbes in the growing season. The magnitude and frequency of freeze-thaw cycles were considered to be important indicators of N transformation rates during the growing season, suggesting that the higher intensity of freeze-thaw cycles in the original locations of soils changed the microbial communities and functions with high tolerance to freeze-thaw cycles; this resulted in greater N transformation rates in the following growing season. Microbial activity, soil fertility and climate patterns in the original locations of soils are believed to have an effect on the response to winter climate change and to cause large variability of soil response of N transformation rates to freeze-thaw cycles in both the dormant and growing seasons.

The first of five lectures, "Development of Long-term Ecological Research in Japan," discussed the increasingly important role of long-term and networked research studies. Ecological research in Asia faces many challenges, because Asia features natural and anthropogenic landscapes with highly diverse ecosystems. "Developing Strategies of the Ecological Society of Japan for Worldwide Societies of Ecology with Special Reference to Strategies for Asia" emphasized the role of ESJ in promoting ecological research and outreach in Asia. Ecosystem sustainability is a key issue in both the theory and practice of ecosystem management. A framework concept of an environmental and biodiversity cycle was proposed in the session "Linking Community and Ecosystem Dynamics" for understanding the mechanisms driving the sustainability of ecosystems. Ecosystem services are essential aspects of land use and conservation planning and management. "Integrating Models of Ecosystem Services and Land Use Changes" reviewed recently-developed models that simulate patterns of land-use change and analyze its effects on ecosystem services and also recommended future directions for collaboration among researchers. "Disaster Resilience and Coastal Ecology" highlighted the contributions of ecologists to evaluating the resilience of damaged coastal ecosystems and provided sound proposals to local communities and governments for rehabilitation plans. The past achievements and future directions of ESJ were discussed by the panelists and the audience in "Past and Future of the Ecological Society of Japan."..

We recorded 154 vascular species in the study plots, including 3 non-native species. We used generalized linear mixed models to analyze changes in forest structure and plant species composition in relationship to the distance from forest roads. The spatial patterns in stand structure at different distances from roads differed with road age. The large canopy openness on the edge of 3-year-old roads decreased with time after the construction. A progressive decrease in tree height on roadsides was observed after the road construction, suggesting tall trees could not withstand the dry and windy roadside environment. The edge effect on the canopy tended to be larger at higher elevation sites. The spatio-temporal pattern of species occurrence based on distance from roads differed by species. Typical pioneer species such as Schima wallichii and Eurya japonica increased along the edge, while less aggressive pioneer species and understory species decreased. As time passed after the road construction, some climax and understory species decreased at the forest edge, while other climax and understory species increased. The modeling methods proposed in this study could be applied to different roadside and edge study sites..

This study evaluated the contribution of the current level of atmospheric N deposition to N cycling in a rural forested area. Bulk precipitation and stream water were collected during 2007-2011 at the Shiiba Research Forest (SRF) located in the central Kyushu mountain range of southern Japan. Litterfall was also collected to investigate the contribution of atmospheric N deposition to total N input (litterfall N+atmospheric N deposition). The results showed that atmospheric depositions of both nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+) were a few times higher during 2009-2011 than in 1991. This could be the result of additional N deposition from the increased long-range transport of nitrogenous pollutants from the East Asian continent. The current level of annual N deposition (9.7 kg N ha(-1) year(-1)) at the SRF was comparable with that at many urban sites and was close to the reported threshold values causing N saturation in forest ecosystems. Although current atmospheric N deposition was an important component (23 %) of total N input (43 kg N ha(-1) year(-1)) at the SRF, the concentrations of NO3- in stream water were consistently low (

Therefore, in recent decades, many efforts have been made to estimate the emission rates, composition and allocation of the BVOCs. Monoterpenes (MNTs) and sesquiterpenes (SQTs) are major groups of BVOCs and mainly emitted from coniferous trees. There is quite a few reports discussing the seasonality of basal emission rate, which is a normalized emission rate at a set of standard conditions (e.g. temperature, light intensity), of the BVOCs. Three field measurements were conducted using branch enclosure techniques to determine MNTs and SQTs emission measured from mature trees of Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa, which are the most dominant trees in Japan and account for about 40-50% of Japanese forest in leaf amount throughout the four seasons in southern Japan in 2010. The results are compared with the measurements for the same compound classes obtained at a suburban area of Tokyo, Japan in 2009. The seasonal variation in the basal emissions of MNTs from both tree species at Shiiba did not show significant seasonal changes. For both tree species, the variations in the basal emission of MNTs differ in the two sites, while those of SQTs showed relatively similar variations. Chemical composition of SQTs showed clear and continued seasonal variations, while MNTs did not show any clear seasonal variation for these tree species at both sites. It can be hypothesized that the emissions of BVOC classes (e.g. MNTs and SQTs) depend on leaf age. In this paper, we discuss about the seasonal variations in the basal emission rates and chemical compositions of BVOCs obtained from the two dominant coniferous tree species in Japan based on nine field measurement campaigns conducted at two different sites..

We also analyzed the relationships between the catch efficiency and the trend of the deer population size. 282 person (742 person-hours) were taken in the period of the population control. We found 1,711 deer on 420 opportunities for sighting of deer. In most cases, only one deer was captured per one sighting. The larger number of deer in a group sighted, the larger number of deer would be missed. It is concerned about increase in the vigilance of deer. The number of sighted deer per one opportunity did not change with time after the control started, while the efficiency of catch decreased. The balance payment of the population control was 673 yen/hour on average. The efficiency and cost differed with hunting group. The results of our study confirmed that it is important to explore the adequate method of the population control with evaluation of the efficiency and cost..

The DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) frequency distribution was L shaped in the Kasebaru plot in which effects of sika deer (Cervus nippon) were not large, while frequency of trees smaller than 10cm in diameter was small in the Maruju plot in which effects of sika deer were extensive. DBH of the species only found in the Kasebaru plot was small. The results suggest that the effect of sika deer was appered in the difference in the stand structure and species composition.

To explore the spatial assembly mechanisms of a subtropical liana community, we tested the following hypotheses: spatial distributions of subtropical lianas are determined by forest structures and topographic features, which are surrogates for host/light availability and edaphic/water conditions, respectively, and these effects are mediated through species functional traits. We examined the spatial distribution of lianas in two plots (areas 9 and 16 ha) representing landscapes in an intact forest and a secondary forest, and analyzed spatial distribution pattern at the species level using a simple, spatially explicit model. We also examined the correlations between determinant factors for species distribution and species functional traits, including climbing habits, leaf traits and wood density. The spatial distribution of lianas was controlled mainly by topographic gradient. Most species had preferences for concave topographies, i.e., valley habitats. Any covariates related to the host (or to light) had little influence on the distribution of most liana species. Distributional responses to topography were different among species, and associated significantly with leaf nitrogen content and climbing habit, but not with wood density. The correlation between variation in habitat preferences and leaf economic spectrum suggests that an environmental filter for physiological response to topography is the important mechanism shaping the spatial patterns of this subtropical liana community..

Biogenic VOCs (BVOCs) have a significant impact on regional air quality due to their large emission rates and high reactivities. Diterpenes (most particularly, kaur-16-ene) were detected in all of the 205 enclosure air samples collected over multiple seasons at two different sites from Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis balsa trees, the dominant coniferous trees in Japan,. The emission rate of kaur-16-ene, was determined to be from 0.01 to 7.1 mu g dwg(-1) h(-1) (average: 0.61 mu g dwg(-1) h(-1)) employing branch enclosure measurements using adsorbent sampling followed by solid phase-liquid extraction techniques. The emission rate was comparable to that of monoterpenes, which is known major BVOC emissions, collected from the same branches. In addition, total emission of kaur-16-ene at 30 degrees C was estimated to exceed that of total anthropogenic VOC emissions. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

The plantation was unsuccessful and the naturally regenerated broad-leaved trees contributed 93.4% (374.2 Mg ha(-1)) of the total aboveground biomass (400.2 Mg ha(-1)). Comparing between different slope positions, aboveground biomass decreased downslope corresponding to the decrease in broad-leaved tree biomass. The biomass of C. japonica did not vary with slope position. Biomass increment and litterfall production of the broad-leaved trees also decreased downslope. However, litterfall production per unit biomass and aboveground net primary production per unit biomass increased downslope. Results of a path analysis showed that biomass increment of C. japonica decreased with increasing topographical convexity, whereas biomass and litterfall production of broad-leaved tree increased. Litterfall production of broad-leaved tree decreased with increasing biomass of C. japonica, suggesting that, despite their small biomass, the presence of residual C. japonica may have negative effects on the distribution and productivity of the broad-leaved trees. Our results indicated that total aboveground biomass of the study site was comparable to that of old-growth C. japonica plantations. We inferred that the variation in aboveground biomass of the broad-leaved trees was largely determined by the topography, while their productivity was affected by interactions with planted C. japonica..

Shinjiro Fujii, Yasuhiro Kubota, Tsutomu Enoki, Long-term ecological impacts of clear-fell logging on tree species diversity in a subtropical forest, southern Japan, JOURNAL OF FOREST RESEARCH, 10.1007/s10310-010-0191-z, 15, 5, 289-298, 2010.10, [URL], Defining the spatial arrangement and length of the cutting cycle in a logged area is crucial for reconciling potential conflicts between timber yields and maintenance of ecosystem services in natural forests. In this study, we investigated long-term impacts of clear-fell logging on timber production and tree species diversity in a subtropical forest on the Ryukyu Islands, using an individual-based simulation model. We assumed six logging scenarios defined by combinations of forest type and regeneration processes, which acted as surrogates for spatial scales of clear-fell logging. These scenarios were simulated under cutting cycles ranging from 20 to 150 years. Short-cutting cycles resulted in dominance by the sprouting species Castanopsis sieboldii. The compositional shift was accelerated by the lack of seed dispersal from surrounding forest areas. The simulations demonstrated that a sustainable logging regime maintaining both yield and tree species diversity requires a cutting cycle longer than 50 years. The simulation results also suggest that the trade-off between the recovery of tree species diversity and timber production is favored more in stands surrounded by mature forest than in isolated stands or stands surrounded by immature forest. Ecological risk assessments based on model simulations provide an alternative to current forest management practices that rely on empirical knowledge..

Shinjiro Fujii, Yasuhiro Kubota, Tsutomu Enoki, Resilience of stand structure and tree species diversity in subtropical forest degraded by clear logging, JOURNAL OF FOREST RESEARCH, 10.1007/s10310-009-0151-7, 14, 6, 373-387, 2009.12, [URL], Subtropical forests in the Ryukyu Islands have been degraded by silvicultural practices, and thus their structural attributes are being shifted to other states dominated by a few tree species. This study clarified the mechanisms of the change, and examined the effect of clear logging on the resilience of a subtropical forest. Sprouting regeneration and typhoon disturbance were introduced into an individual-based model, SEIB-DGVM, for describing stand development and succession. The regeneration dynamics from young secondary to old-growth stands were reproduced fairly well with the model. Sprouting recruitment produced high stem density at the beginning of stand development, which caused a self-thinning trajectory following the -3/2 power law. In the late development stage after 70 years, tree species diversity fluctuated because of the regenerative response of sprouting species and the facilitatory effect of typhoon disturbance on the coexistence of subordinate species. The death of canopy trees because of typhoon disturbances reduced the dominance of Castanopsis sieboldii, and depressed its dominance in the understory. Consequently, the understory species could establish by virtue of fallen canopy trees, and tree species diversity increased at the stand level. Clear logging experiments in the model revealed that species diversity deteriorated, especially in the stand dominated by sprouting species. Resilience of subtropical forests was determined by initial species composition before clear logging. Our simulation results suggest that repeated logging drives subtropical forests with high species diversity to a stand monopolized by C. sieboldii..

One site (no-sasa forest) has sparse cover of S. borealis and a high density of sika deer, and the other site (sasa forest) has dense cover of S. borealis with a low density of sika deer. In the no-sasa forest, more seedlings emerged and the survival rate of the seedlings was higher compared with the sasa forest.

Those environmental parameters did not differ between unfenced and fenced plots. The comparison between the sasa and no-sasa forests suggested that removal of S. borealis by sika deer had an indirect positive effect on seedling emergence and survival. However, the fenced-plot experiments indicated that sika deer inhibited seedling emergence and survival. These contradictory conclusions could result from the much larger negative effects of S. borealis on seedling emergence and survival compared with the effects of sika deer browsing..

We used path analysis to examine the relationship among microtopography, the biomass of planted trees, and the biomasses of canopy and subcanopy trees of broad-leaved species. The study plot was divided into three topographic types (ridge, slope, and valley), and we discuss how the different topographic types are affected. For all topographic types, the biomass of canopy trees of broad-leaved species decreased with convexity. For slope and valley topographies, the biomass of subcanopy trees of broad-leaved species also decreased with convexity. For ridge topography, the biomass of subcanopy trees of broad-leaved species increased with the biomass of planted trees, and decreased with the biomass of canopy trees of broad-leaved species. These results suggest the effects of microtopography on the biomass of subcanopy trees were much larger than the effects of canopy trees for slope and valley topographies, while the effects of microtopography were smaller for ridge topography..

All lianas with a stem diameter exceeding 2 cm at a point 1.3 m from the root were inventoried. and stem diameter and root position were measured within a small watershed (16.0625 ha). Geographical information systems (GIS) were used to divide the watershed into 257 cells in total, each cell being 25 m x 25 m. Three topographic parameters were measured in each cell: slope angle. slope aspect and relief. In total, 930 stems from 20 species of lianas were recorded. Distribution of all liana stems and 14 of 15 species analysed were biased toward concave sites. Abundance of total lianas was higher in concave sites than in convex sites. Our results suggest that distribution and abundance of lianas are strongly affected by topography, and that lianas tend to be distributed in sites with more water and nutrients, which are formed by relief in the Okinawa forest. Factors affecting stem density differed among species..

The total litterfall in the study plot was 7.1 t ha(-1) year(-1). The amount of litterfall varied with topography and was greatest at the valley bottom and decreased toward the ridges. Macuna macrocarpa litterfall was absent on the ridges although it accounted for the largest percentage, 32%, of total leaf litter production in the valley. Nitrogen input by litterfall was 69 kg ha(-1) year(-1) in the plot. Nitrogen input by litterfall was also largest at the valley bottom and decreased toward the ridges. Leaf litter of M. macrocarpa had approximately twice the nitrogen concentration of litterfall of other species. Macuna macrocarpa accounted for 42% of nitrogen input by leaf litter in the valley. The abundance and the high nitrogen concentration of M. macrocarpa intensified differences in the amount of litterfall and nitrogen input by litterfall between valleys and ridges. It was concluded that a liana species, M. macrocarpa, can contribute to the spatial heterogeneity of litterfall and may subsequently affect nutrient cycling in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest on Okinawa Island..

Two common tree species, Castanopsis sieboldii and Schima wallichii, representative of the vegetation and differing in their foliar traits, were selected. The elements analyzed were N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Al, Fe and Mn. Dry mass loss at the end of study varied in the order: typhoon green leaves > typhoon yellow leaves > normal leaves falling for both species. For the same litter type, Schima decomposed faster than Castanopsis. Dry mass remaining after 2 yr of decomposition was positively correlated with initial C: N and C: P ratios. There was a wide range in patterns of nutrient concentration, from a net accumulation to a rapid loss in decomposition. Leaf litter generated by typhoons decomposed more rapidly than did the normal litter, with rapid losses for N and P. Analysis of initial quality for the different litter types showed that the C: P ratios were extremely high (range 896 - 2467) but the P: N ratios were

The distributions of most species were influenced mainly by topography but also by canopy openness. Species were arranged along a topographical gradient from concave areas with low canopy openness to convex areas with high canopy openness. Canopy species were arranged along a gradient from unstable fertile areas to stable infertile areas. Species occurring mostly in convex areas had a narrower distribution range than those in concave sites. Thus, habitat heterogeneity provided by topography and stand structure appears to be important factors for maintaining high species diversity in the understory of this subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest..

In this subtropical forest, the mean annual rates of litterfall (including premature litter generated by windstorm) were 684 and 737 g m(-2) yr(-1) at site A and B, respectively. The leaf litter contributed 67% of annual total litterfall. The peak leaf fall occurred in March. Woody litter showed no particular pattern, and its peak fall varied with windstorm. The mean annual nutrient inputs by fine litterfall were, respectively, N 80.1, P 3.2, K 25.8, Ca 58.6 and Mg 17.1 kg ha(-2) yr(-1) at site A; and N 80.6, P 2.9, K 20.7, Ca 65.9 and Mg 17.8 kg ha(-2) yr(-1) at site B. A marked seasonal variability was observed in the concentrations of N, P and K, with no important differences for Ca and Mg, in leaf litter for the two dominants. N, P and K were retranslocated to other tree organs and Ca, Mg, Mn and Al were accumulated in mature leaves. The comparison between leaf litter and fresh mature leaves suggests that the analysis of leaf litter cannot substitute for that of living leaves to evaluate the nutritional status of the species studied for essential elements N, P and K. However, the index of nutrient use efficiency in litterfall can be used as an indicator of soil nutrient conditions. We found site-dependent and between-species differences in nutrient content and nutrient remobilization. The nutrient cycling in this subtropical forest follows a pattern similar to tropical forests, with inefficient within-stand use of N and more efficient cycling of P..

Most species showed an aggregated distribution and patch size was related to various microtopographical features, including small ridges and valleys. In a cluster analysis based on the dissimilarity of each species' distribution, the species were divided into three major clusters. A significant correlation between the dissimilarity and the distance between each species on the axis of the two topographic indices indicated that species association was, in part, explained by the topographic indices. I suggest that species distributed on steep and concave slopes regenerate depending on disturbances such as landslides on unstable topography, whereas species distributed on ridges and upper slopes regenerate depending on the canopy gap. A number of species that were less abundant in the 4-ha plot occurred in the riparian area near a stream, where the density of more abundant species was low.

Enumeration of the six sampling plots revealed an average density of 5,580 individuals with DBH ≥ 3.0 cm/ha, having an average basal area of 55 m2 ha -1. The large-size trees of DBH ≥ 20 cm contributed 10% of the total individuals, and 49% of the total basal area. The forest showed a high diversity of tree species, which is comparable to some tropical rain forests. A total of 54 overstory species of 24 families and a total of 63 understory species of 26 families were identified in the six sampling plots. Fagaceae and Theaceac were the most important families: Castanopsis sieboldii, Schima wallichii and Distylium racemosum were the most important species. The diversity index and equatability index of species were 4.15 and 0.72 for the overstory plots, and 4.72 and 0.79 for the understory subplots, respectively. The diversity index for the overstory was significantly correlated to the total basal area of trees over 20 cm DBH (p &lt
0.05) and the importance value of C. sieboldii (p &lt
0.001). while for understory, the diversity index was not correlated to the structural parameters (all p&gt
0.16). The size distribution pattern and age structure indicated differences in regeneration strategies for canopy dominants. In population dynamics of the succession process. C. sieboldii and D. racemosum were self-maintaining types, and S. wallichii was a gap- or opening-dependent type..

Tsutomu Enoki, Hideyuki Kawaguchi, Initial nitrogen content and topographic moisture effects on the decomposition of pine needle, Ecological Research, 10.1046/j.1440-1703.2000.00363.x, 15, 3, 425-434, 2000.09, [URL], The effects of litter quality and site characteristics on the decomposition process were investigated using a litterbag method. Pine needle litters with differing nitrogen concentrations (0.8, 0.6 and 0.4%) were placed on the upper and lower slopes of a Pinus thunbergii Parl. plantation. After both 3 and 6 months, the mass of decomposing litter with the lower nitrogen concentration was larger than the litter with higher nitrogen concentrations. After 9 months, there were no significant differences in the litter mass remaining, regardless of the initial nitrogen concentration. Moisture content in the litter was always higher on the lower slope, although the mass of litter was smaller. Nitrogen concentration of the decomposing litter increased linearly with accumulated mass loss. The increase in nitrogen concentration of decomposing litter was greater on the lower slope, but this increase did not differ between initial nitrogen concentrations. The nitrogen release from the decomposing litter with higher initial nitrogen concentration was larger than the release from litter bags with lower nitrogen concentrations. This result suggests that there may be positive feedback between soil nutrient availability, litter quality and nutrient release from decomposing litter at the intraspecific level..

Nitrogen concentration in green and senescent needles decreased upslope. Nitrogen resorption efficiencies (percentage change in nitrogen content between green and senescent needles) increased upslope from 43 to 77% with decreasing soil nitrogen availability. Nitrogen resorption efficiency was related to green needle dry mass per unit length, but there was no clear correlation between nitrogen resorption efficiency and nitrogen content in green needles. We concluded that the increase in nitrogen resorption efficiency of P. thunbergii enhanced the nitrogen-use efficiency as a response to the low nitrogen availability..

The results obtained from five plots in natural evergreen broadleaved forests at Northern Okinawa Island in the period May 3,1996 to May 1,1998. Annual rates of total litter fall ranged from 7328 to 12700kg ha^ a^ in the first year, and from 5577 to 8073kg ha^ a^ in the second year, with great variation between the two years being related to the effects of the stronger typhoon No. 12 from August 11 to 12,1996. And the foliage litter fall contributed the greatest amount, about 63.7% averagely ranging from 54.6 to 78.8% of the total litter mass, and peaked in March and August, respectively. The results from this investigation indicated that the annual mean litter fall rate was positively correlated with stem volumes, mean D.B.H. and mean height of the stand, however, was negatively correlated with the stand density and neither related to the stand basal area. The annual amounts of nutrient returned by litter fall in the sampling stands were, N from 61.3 to 128.2kg ha^ a^, P from 2.8 to 6.0kg ha^ a^, K from 20.8 to 44.5kg ha^ a^, Ca from 40.0 to 117.9kg ha^ a^, Mg from 13.3 to 28.3kg ha^ a^, S from 7.0 to 14.6kg ha^ a^, Na from 8.4 to 17.2kg ha^ a^, Al from 8.6 to 16.6kg ha^ a^, Fe from 0.6 to 1.4kg ha^ a^, and Mn from 2.6 to 5.4kg ha^ a^, respectively. However, the annual nutrient returns for microelements such as Cu, Zn, Mo, Co and B were very little. Within the annual cycle, monthly nutrient fall was the most in August and the least in January, and the former was 12∿31 times more than the latter. Spring and summer (from March to August) was most important, accounting for over 70% of the nutrients..

Tsutomu Enoki, Hideyuki Kawaguchi, Goro Iwatsubo, Nutrient-uptake and nutrient-use efficiency of Pinus thunbergii Parl. along a topographical gradient of soil nutrient availability, Ecological Research, 10.1007/BF02523784, 12, 2, 191-199, 1997.08, To examine responses of a plant species to nutrient availability, we investigated changes in soil nutrient availability, litterfall production and nutrient content in litterfall along a topographic gradient in a Pinus thunbergii Pad. plantation. Responses were evaluated in terms of three efficiency indices: (i) nutrient-uptake efficiency (the ratio of nutrient return in litterfall to soil nutrient availability)
(ii) nutrient-use efficiency (the ratio of litterfall mass to nutrient return in litterfall)
and (iii) nutrient-response efficiency (the ratio of litterfall mass to soil nutrient availability). These indices can distinguish the ability of a species to acquire nutrients and its ability to use them in litterfall production. Nitrogen and phosphorus availabilities in soil were lower in upper slope positions. The three efficiencies were higher in upper slope positions and negatively correlated with soil nutrient availability for both nitrogen and phosphorus. An increase in nutrient-response efficiency was achieved by both increases in nutrient-uptake and nutrient-use efficiencies..

Tsutomu Enoki, Hideyuki Kawaguchi, Goro Iwatsubo, Topographic variations of soil properties and stand structure in a Pinus thunbergii plantation, Ecological Research, 10.1007/BF02347787, 11, 3, 299-309, 1996.12, Soil properties and above- and belowground forest structure were studied across various topographies in a 20-year-old Pinus thunbergii Parl. plantation on Mt Tanakami, Japan. The soil properties and stand structure varied greatly with slope position from ridge top to valley floor. Soil thickness, fine soil content and soil moisture content were greater in lower slope positions. The amount of organic carbon in the forest floor was greater in upper slope positions. The organic carbon content in the mineral soil was slightly greater in lower slope positions. These changes in soil properties suggested an upslope decrease in decomposition rate and water and/or nutrient availability. The aboveground structure of P. thunbergii was more developed at lower slope positions. The mean stem diameter, height and volume of P. thunbergii increased downslope with decreasing tree density. However, fine root biomass increased greatly upslope. This inverse relationship between tree height and fine root biomass indicated morphological plasticity of P. thunbergii in exploiting environmental heterogeneity. Variations in soil- plant interactions in the stand along various topographics caused spatial heterogeneity in the accumulation pattern of organic matter in plants and the soil..
