• Topographic conditions as governing factors of mire vegetation types analyzed from drone‐based terrain model

  Kazuhiro Kaneko, Minoru Yokochi, Takashi Inoue, Yukie Kato, Hiroko Fujita

  Journal of Vegetation Science 35 (1) 1100-9233 2024/01/17 

  Abstract Questions Previous studies have shown that mire vegetation responds to fine‐scale differences in topography; however, very few studies have examined the relationship between multiple topographic conditions and vegetation distribution patterns by using topographic information with a resolution finer than microtopographic patches of sub‐meter scale in mires. Is it possible to predict vegetation distribution patterns in a mire using topographic information derived from drone imagery? How do topographic conditions affect the emergence of vegetation types? Location 3 km² of sloping mire in eastern Hokkaido, northern Japan. Methods Digital surface models (DSMs) and orthomosaics were created using an affordable drone (Phantom3 advanced) and photogrammetry. We calculated 23 variables reflecting topographic conditions from DSMs. The locations of four vegetation types (Moliniopsis japonica–Eriophorum vaginatum, ME; Moliniopsis japonica–Carex lasiocarpa, MC; Sphagnum fuscum–Ledum palustre, SL; and Carex lyngbyei–Thelypteris palustris, CT) were recorded by field survey and orthomosaics. Random forest models that predicted vegetation types from topographic variables were created and we evaluated the prediction accuracy, importance of variables and effect of variables on the occurrence probability of the vegetation types. Results All predictive indicators (recall, precision, overall accuracy, kappa) were very high (>0.9). Important variables for modeling were altitude, relative height to the surroundings, slopes at a scale of several 10 m, soil wetness index and terrain ruggedness. Each vegetation type appeared under different topographic conditions; altitude was a key factor in ME and MC, and slope in CT. SL showed patchy distribution predictions on hummocks. Conclusions Vegetation distribution in the mire was strongly related to topographic information based on the DSMs. Analysis of the variable effects indicates that the emergence of the vegetation types was explained by a combination of multiple topographic conditions. This approach has the outstanding advantages of obtaining many survey points quickly and retrieving topographic conditions difficult to measure using on‐ground field surveys.

  Tropical peatland is a complex and globally important wetland ecosystem, storing an enormous amount of the Earth's terrestrial carbon from centuries of organic material accumulation. In this ecosystem, peat swamp forests developed over an ombrogenous peat where hydrology influences its physico-chemical properties, one of which is fluctuation of the peat surface. While several studies of tropical peatland surface fluctuation have been reported, most are based on relatively short measurement periods or focused on drained areas. Hence, the objective of this study is to determine the long-term dynamics of peat surface fluctuation from an undrained peat swamp forest in relation to its water table depth. Peat surface level, water table, and rainfall were measured monthly at three experimental sites in a peat swamp forest in Sarawak, Malaysia over a period of about 10 years (2011-2020). The sites were different in soil structure and vegetation community; namely mixed peat swamp, Alan Batu, and Alan Bunga forests. Throughout the measurement period the peat surface in all sites exhibited consistent oscillating movement that generally follow the fluctuation of water table, with swelling and subsidence occurring after water table increase following high rainfall and receding water during dry spells respectively. Positive linear relationships were also found between peat surface level and water table (p < 0.05). Both the surface level and water table at all sites fell to their lowest during an intense dry period in 2019. Surface fluctuation at the Alan Batu site was most affected by seasonal changes in water table, which may be due to presence of vacant zones in the peat profile.

  Abstract. Agricultural land use on peatlands inevitably causes ongoing land surface subsidence resulting in a reduction of productivity. In addition, oxidation of the peat substrate associated with subsidence is responsible for greenhouse gas emission with the ensuing consequence for global climatic stability. A concept of “paludiculture”, the utilisation of wet or rewetted peatlands for agriculture, has been proposed in European countries to avoid further subsidence and greenhouse gas emission. However, few studies have documented a long-term record of subsidence through agriculture in wet peatlands such as paddy fields for rice cultivation. In this study, we measured the subsidence rates of peatland in rice paddy use and compared them to the rates in peatland with upland crop cultivation. The average subsidence between 2006 and 2016 for the paddy plots was 3.6±1.9 cm (± SE) and significantly less than that of 25.6±1.7 cm for the upland plots, and the subsidence reduced linearly as the period of paddy use increased. These results suggest that paddy use of peatlands can effectively reduce subsidence. Our results will encourage the use of peatlands with a wet environment as one of the valid options for future peatland management in terms of mitigation of land subsidence and peat loss.

  In Hokkaido, a cold region in northern Japan, full-scale land reclamation started when the local headquarters of the Hokkaido Development Commission was established in Sapporo in 1871. The center of land reclamation in Hokkaido was the Ishikari River Basin, the second largest river in Japan, where the city of Sapporo is now located. In particular, the middle and lower reaches of the Ishikari River basin downstream from Kamuikotan was a primeval swamp and peatland at that time, which hindered its reclamation. However, the development and appropriate management of river flood control and water utilization facilities in the middle and lower reaches resulted in changes. The peatland in this cold region were transformed into one of Japan's leading rice cultivation areas. The transformation of this region into a major economic zone was realized in a relatively short period of one hundred-odd years. Cut-off works were selected as the principal improvement method in the beginning of flood control of the middle and lower reaches of the Ishikari River. The construction of 29 cut-off works has provided a dramatic improvement of the safety level of flood control in the basin. In addition, the water level of the mainstream and tributaries in normal period decreased, making the improvement of trunk and branch water channels possible. As a result, an area of peatland was transformed into the present-day vast rice cultivation areas in a short period of time. The development of this region would not have been possible without the improvement of the mainstream of the Ishikari River. This paper describes the development and management of river flood controls and water utilization facilities in the middle and lower reaches of the Ishikari River as well as the important roles they played in contributing to the development of the basin.

  This study investigated spatial factors controlling CO2, CH4, and N2O fluxes and compared global warming potential (GWP) among undrained forest (UDF), drained forest (DF), and drained burned land (DBL) on tropical peatland in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Sampling was performed once within two weeks in the beginning of dry season. CO2 flux was significantly promoted by lowering soil moisture and pH. The result suggests that oxidative peat decomposition was enhanced in drier position, and the decomposition acidify the peat soils. CH4 flux was significantly promoted by a rise in groundwater level, suggesting that methanogenesis was enhanced under anaerobic condition. N2O flux was promoted by increasing soil nitrate content in DF, suggesting that denitrification was promoted by substrate availability. On the other hand, N2O flux was promoted by lower soil C:N ratio and higher soil pH in DBL and UDF. CO2 flux was the highest in DF (241 mg C m−2 h−1) and was the lowest in DBL (94 mg C m−2 h−1), whereas CH4 flux was the highest in DBL (0.91 mg C m−2 h−1) and was the lowest in DF (0.01 mg C m−2 h−1), respectively. N2O flux was not significantly different among land uses. CO2 flux relatively contributed to 91–100% of GWP. In conclusion, it is necessary to decrease CO2 flux to mitigate GWP through a rise in groundwater level and soil moisture in the region.

  This study followed three field-scale hybrid subsurface flow constructed wetland (CW) systems constructed in Hokkaido, northern Japan: piggery O (2009), dairy G (2011), and dairy S (2006). Treatment performance was monitored from the outset of operation for each CW. The ranges of overall purification efficiency for these systems were 70-86%, 40-85%, 71-90%, 91-96%, 94-98%, 84-97%, and 70-97% for total N (TN), NH4-N, total P, chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand, suspended solid, and total Coliform, respectively. The hybrid system's removal rates were highest when influent loads were high. COD removal rates were 46.4 +/- 49.2, 94.1 +/- 36.6, and 25.1 +/- 15.5 g COD m(-2) d(-1) in piggery O, dairy G, and dairy S, with average influent loads of 50.5 +/- 51.5, 98.9 +/- 37.1, and 26.9 +/- 16.0 g COD m(-2) d(-1), respectively. The systems had overall COD removal efficiencies of around 90%. TN removal efficiencies were 62 +/- 19%, 82 +/- 9%, and 82 +/- 15% in piggery O, dairy G, and dairy S, respectively. NH4-N removal efficiency was adversely affected by the COD/TN ratio. Results from this study prove that these treatment systems have sustained and positive pollutant removal efficiencies, which were achieved even under extremely cold climate conditions and many years after initial construction.

  This study evaluated the nitrogen compound removal efficiency of a hybrid subsurface constructed wetland, which began treating milking parlor wastewater in Hokkaido, northern Japan, in 2006. The wetland's overall removal rates of total nitrogen (TN) and ammonium (NH4+-N) improved after the second year of operation, and its rate of organic nitrogen (Org-N) removal was stable at 90% efficiency. Only nitrate (NO3−-N) levels were increased following the treatment. Despite increased NO3−-N (maximum of 3 mg-N/L) levels, TN removal rates were only slightly affected. Removal rates of TN and Org-N were highest in the first vertical bed. NH4+-N removal rates were highest in the second vertical bed, presumably due to water recirculation and pH adjustment. Concentrations of NO3−-N appeared when total carbon (TC) levels were low, which suggests that low TC prevented complete denitrification in the second vertical bed and the final horizontal bed. In practice, the beds removed more nitrogen than the amount theoretically removed by denitrification, as calculated by the amount of carbon removed from the system. This carbon-nitrogen imbalance may be due to other nitrogen transformation mechanisms, which require less carbon.

  The objective of this study was to evaluate performance of a hybrid constructed wetland (CW) built for high organic content piggery wastewater treatment in a cold region. The system consists of four vertical and one horizontal flow subsurface CWs. The wetland was built in 2009 and water quality was monitored from the outset. Average purification efficiency of this system was 95 ± 5, 91 ± 7, 89 ± 8, 70 ± 10, 84 ± 15, 90 ± 6, 99 ± 2, and 93 ± 16% for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), ammonium-N (NH4-N), total phosphorus (TP), total coliform (T. Coliform), and suspended solids (SS), respectively during August 2010–December 2013. Pollutant removal rate was 15 ± 18 g m−2 d−1, 49 ± 52 g m−2 d−1, 6 ± 4 g m−2 d−1, 7 ± 5 g m−2 d−1, and 1 ± 1 g m−2 d−1 for BOD5, COD, TN, NH4-N, and TP, respectively. The removal efficiency of BOD5, COD, NH4-N, and SS improved yearly since the start of operation. With respect to removal of TN and TP, efficiency improved in the first three years but slightly declined in the fourth year. The system performed well during both warm and cold periods, but was more efficient in the warm period. The nitrate increase may be attributed to a low C/N ratio, due to limited availability of carbon required for denitrification.

  Tropical peat swamp forest (PSF) stores large quantities of carbon. To estimate how much organic C is released from this type of landscape we determined organic carbon (C) concentrations, loads and yields in two contrasting watercourses draining from PSF in Riau Province, Sumatra (Indonesia). Meranti Ditch (MD) is an artificial watercourse whose small catchment (estimated area 4.8 km2) is in semi-intact condition, whereas Turip River (TR) has a large natural catchment (estimated area 458 km2) covered with fairly intact PSF where > 75% of the original canopy trees remain. The organic C load (Gg C yr-1) of each watercourse was calculated by combining TOC concentration with water discharge rate to give organic C yield (g C m-2 yr-1). Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was the dominant (95.0-99.8%) component of total organic carbon (TOC) in the water. TOC concentration was 85-94 mg C L-1 in MD and 50-58 mg C L-1 in TR. The high concentration in MD was not surprising because this catchment had been disturbed by repeated phases of logging and a dense network of ditches was excavated ten years ago. The TOC loads were 0.23 Gg C yr-1 in MD and 14.0 Gg C yr-1 in TR. TOC yields (i.e. TOC fluxes through the fluvial system) were 41.6-55.5 g C m-2 yr-1 in MD and 26.2-34.9 g C m-2 yr-1 in TR.

  In Hokkaido, northern Japan, there are 12 hybrid subsurface constructed wetlands (HSCWs) and most of them are treating high concentrated organic wastewater. One of these systems is an HSCW situated in Embetsu, northern Hokkaido, and it has been in operation since November of 2006 to treat dairy milking parlor wastewater. The system is composed of two vertical flow beds and a horizontal flow bed. The influent and the effluent flow rates and pollutant concentrations and loads were extremely variable. Throughout its 6 years of operation, most of the pollutant removals were decently high. Removal efficiencies for COD, BOD5, and SS were ranging in the 90 %. Removal efficiencies for TN, NH4-N, and BOD5 were improving because of the development of the soil ecosystem and the Phragmites australis community. However, the removal efficiencies of TP were decreasing, presumably because of the declining adsorption ability. The accumulation of TP in the first and the second vertical beds had reached its plateau. Vertical beds had high removal efficiencies for TN, COD, BOD5, and SS. These high removal efficiencies of the first vertical bed may be caused from the efficient removal of solid material that is deposited as an organic layer of the first vertical bed. High NH4-N removal efficiencies exerted by the second vertical bed may be due to the recycling of wastewater. In conclusion, the HSCW was working excellently for its 6 years of operation, and it could be concluded that it has not reached its life yet.

  In recent decades, the extent of Sasa palmata-dominant communities has increased in Sarobetsu Mire in northern Hokkaido, Japan, replacing the original Sphagnum bog vegetation. However, this marked increase in distribution of Sasa in the mire has not been formally documented or investigated in detail. Using aerial photo-interpretation, the present study updated the distribution maps of Sasa communities, showing the changes that have occurred to these communities between 1977 and 2003. The results revealed that the extent of Sasa communities has increased by 15.8 % from 6.60 km2 in 1977 to 7.64 km2 in 2003. The most marked increase occurred on the ground associated with drainage channels, although the oldest channels were constructed more than half a century ago, suggesting that some responses to the drainage of peat bog ecosystems may take a considerable period of time before becoming particularly evident. © 2012 International Consortium of Landscape and Ecological Engineering and Springer.

  The performance of six multistage hybrid constructed wetland systems was evaluated. The systems were designed to treat four kinds of high-content wastewater: dairy wastewater (three systems, average inflow content 2,400–5,000 mg·COD l−1, 3–6 years of operation); pig farm wastewater, including liquid food washing wastewater (one system, 9,500 mg·COD l−1, 3 years); potato starch processing wastewater (one system, 20,000–60,000 mg·COD l−1, 3 years); and wastewater containing pig farm swine urine (one system, 6,600 mg·COD l−1, 2.8 years) (COD = chemical oxygen demand). The systems contained three or four vertical (V) flow beds with self-priming siphons and surface partitions and no or one horizontal (H) flow bed (three to five beds). In some V flow beds, treated effluents were recirculated (Vr) through the inlet to improve performance. Mean annual temperature was 5–8 °C at all locations. To overcome clogging due to the high load in a cold climate, we applied a safety bypass structure and floating cover material to the V flow beds. Calculated average oxygen transfer rates (OTRs) increased proportionally with the influent load, and the OTR value was Vr &gt; V&gt; H. The relations of load–OTR, COD–ammonium, and a Arrhenius temperature-dependent equation enable the basic design of a reed bed system.

  A hybrid sub-surface constructed wetland (CW) system consisting of 2 gravel filled vertical sub-surface (VFa & VFb) beds, each 160 m2 in size planted with Phragmites australis and a sand filled horizontal sub-surface (HF) bed, 336 m2 in size, planted with rice was operated from 2007 to 2010 for treating milking parlor waste water in Hokkaido, Japan. Hybrid CW system received huge fluctuations in average yearly inlet loads for TSS (526.0-1259mgL-1 & 2.7-9.0gm-2d-1), BOD5 (1,080-2,114mgL-1 & 8.4-14.4gm-2d-1), COD(1,962-7,085mgL-1 & 14.5-50.0gm-2d-1), TN (116.0-243.0mgL-1 & 0.8-1.6gm-2d-1), NH4-N (54.0-90.0mgL-1 & 0.40-0.64gm-2d-1), TC (1,022-2,215mgL-1 & 6.0-15.1gm-2d-1), TP (15.3-41.7mgL-1 & 0.11-0.28gm-2d-1) during study period. Average yearly purification and removal rates were least fluctuated for TSS (95.7-99.4%); moderately for BOD5 (86.1-95.7%), COD(87.5-96.1%) and TC (79.5-91.3%); highly for TN (72.6-90.6%), NH4-N (62.9-85.3%) and TP (64.8-87.2%). A sharp decrease in TP purification and removal rates were observed in 2008 due to sharp decrease in influent TP concentration in 2008 compared to 2007. OTR values for VF(a), VF(b), HF bed and total system were observed as 21.7, 19.3, 4.8 and 12.3gO2m-2d-1 respectively. Average k value of hybrid CW system for BOD5, TN, NH4-N and TP during study period were 7.0±1.8, 7.4±3.3, 5.6±4.1 and 4.9±2.0myr-1 respectively.Average concentration of TSS, TP, TN and NH4-N in the final effluent for all years were below the discharge limit value of: 150mgL-1 for TSS; 8mgL-1 for TP, 60mgL-1 for TN and NH4-N. However, average BOD5 and COD concentrations could not meet the discharge limit value of 120mgL-1 during 2007 and 2008. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

  This paper presents the effects of seasonal variations on the purification and removal efficiencies of a hybrid sub-surface CW system (VF-VF-HF) treating milking parlor wastewater at northern Hokkaido, Japan. VF(a) and VF(b) are gravel beds, each 160m2 in size whereas HF is sand bed and 336m2 in size. Daily mean air temperature at site showed a difference of 16°C between warm (May-October) and cold (November-April) periods. Average influent concentrations for cold and warm periods were: CODCr: 3749 and 4988mgL-1; BOD5: 1637 and 1395mgL-1; TSS: 661 and 862mgL-1; TN: 161 and 194mgL-1; TP: 23.9 and 31.9mgL-1 and total carbon: 1212 and 1715mgL-1. Average purification rates of BOD5, TSS, TP, PO4-P and total carbon fluctuated <2.5% between both periods. However purification rates of NH4-N and Organic-P decreased by 9.5% and 12% respectively during warm period. Average removal rates of TSS and BOD5 were unaffected between both periods, while that of CODCr, TN, total carbon increased by 3-4% during warm period. Hybrid sub-surface CW system achieved purification and removal rates of >95% for TSS and total coliform; >89% for CODCr and BOD5; >76% for TN and >72% for TP during both cold and warm periods. © 2012 Elsevier B.V..

  The performance of six multi-stage hybrid wetland systems, which were designed and constructed for treating high-content wastewater, was evaluated in the cold climate of Hokkaido, northern Japan. The systems were designed to treat four kinds of wastewater: dairy wastewater (three systems, average inflow 4.9-46.6m3d-1, average inflow content 2400-5000mgCODl-1, 2-5 years of operation); wastewater from a pig farm, including liquid food washing wastewater (one system, 4.1m3d-1, 9500mgCODl-1, 2 years of operation); wastewater from potato starch processing (one system, 5.4-13.3m3d-1, 24,000-54,000mgCODl-1, 2 years of operation); and wastewater containing pig farm swine urine (one system, 16.9m3d-1, 10,100mgCODl-1, 1 year operation). Our systems were composed of three to four vertical (V) flow beds with self-priming siphons and surface partitions and no or one horizontal (H) flow bed (total of three to five beds). In some V flow beds, treated effluents were recirculated (Vr) through the inlet to improve performance, mainly during the growing season. The total bed area was 168-2151m2. Mean annual temperature was 5-8°C at all locations. To overcome clogging due to the high load in a cold climate, we applied a safety bypass structure and floating cover material (Supersol: lightweight porous glass) to the V flow beds. The safety bypass structure and floating cover material helped to prevent clogging and freezing and maintained dry conditions and abundant growth of reeds and earthworms. The average purification rates were 70-96% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 39-90% for total nitrogen (TN), 36-82% for NH4-N, and 70-93% for total phosphorous (TP). Calculated average oxygen transfer rates (OTRs) were 16-99gO2m-2d-1. OTRs increased in proportion to influent load, and the OTR value was Vr>V>H. Recirculating the treated effluents was expected to enhance removal of nitrogen in V flow beds mainly by a combination of nitrification and denitrification. By treating higher organic loads per area without clogging, it was possible to minimize the area and cost of treating high-content wastewater. However, more data are needed concerning load and OTR to design a more efficient multi-stage wetland system. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

  JOURNAL OF RURAL PLANNING ASSOCIATION 農村計画学会 31 375 - 380 0912-9731 2012/11 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  In this study, the government-operated agriculture and rural development project in Hokkaido, Japan, has been examined based on the evaluation made by the viewpoint of beneficiary farmers of the project. The consideration for the future projects is also discussed. From the result of the questionnaire, it became clear that the beneficiary farmers are recognizing the effectiveness of the project, such as increase in income, increase in the yield, and quality improvement of the products. The farmers value the project for its low burden charge as well as its coupled correspondence between the measures and the policies. Farmers of paddy field farming and upland farming gave different results in the questionnaire. This difference seems to be a result of the disparity of the agricultural policy in both farming type.

  We examined the relationship between fluctuation patterns of groundwater levels (WL) and the distribution dynamics of the vascular plant Sasa palmata, in Sarobetsu Mire, northern Japan. WLs were recorded at 30 stations: 11 Sphagnum lawns, which is the original vegetation type in the area, nine Sasa communities, and ten boundary stations between those two areas. The ten boundary stations were composed of five vegetation change sites and five stable sites, categorized using maps of Sasa distribution in 1977 and 2000. The results showed that Sphagnum lawns and Sasa communities significantly differed in the average, minimum, and fluctuation range of WLs, and increases in WL after rain events. The differences between change sites and stable sites were not significant in the average WL, but were significant in the minimum and fluctuation ranges of WL and the increase in WL after rain events. These results indicate that the distribution dynamics of Sasa communities would be regulated by groundwater flow that was affected by drainage and inflow condition rather than merely groundwater drawdown as suggested in previous studies. The WL regimes at two Sphagnum lawns were similar to those at change sites, suggesting that Sasa may expand into these two stations more readily than the other Sphagnum lawn stations. © 2011 International Consortium of Landscape and Ecological Engineering and Springer.

  A real scale hybrid constructed wetland (CW) system (656 m2), with a configuration of VFA-VFB-HF beds constructed in series is operating since November 2006 in northern Hokkaido, Japan. The system was experimented to assess its capability in purifying 4.5 m3d−1 of high strength milking parlor wastewater under colder climate. Annual mean air temperature at site was recorded as 6.4 oC (extremes vary as -22.8 oC at lowest and 30.6 oC at highest). From the monthly sampling from November 2006 to January 2010, average loading and removal rates of TSS, CODcr, BOD5, TN and TP were 5.4 g m−2 d−1 (98%), 30.3 g m−2 d−1 (88%), 11.5 g m 2 d−1 (89%), 1.2 g m−2 d−1 (76.4%) and 0.2 g m−2 d−1 (76%). System did not stop for a single day, efficiently worked even during snow covered periods and was tolerant to the load fluctuations.

• An inventory of the mires of Hokkaido, Japan—their development, classification, decline, and conservation

  Hokkaido Island is located in the cool temperate zone, and its climate conditions facilitated the formation of a variety of wetland types, the majority of them peat-forming mires. Most of these remained in a natural state until the early 20th century. However, drainage and subsequent conversion mostly to agricultural land have since destroyed more than 70% of the original wetland ecosystems. This paper (1) provides an overview of mire types, (2) reviews the development process of mires in Hokkaido during the Holocene, (3) analyzes the causes of losses of wetland areas, and (4) gives a summary of the current conservation and management status. Basic mire types that have been described in other parts of the northern hemisphere can also be recognized in Hokkaido, although there are floristic differences, and the frequency and intensity of volcanic impact and tsunamis is higher than in most other regions with abundant mire formation. Mire formation started at various points during the postglacial period; a few mountain mires in southwest Hokkaido date back to the Lateglacial, but most mountain mires formed during the mid to late Holocene. Most lowland mires developed at altitudes below 20 m and were influenced by the Jomon transgression that peaked ca. 6,000 years BP. The largest lowland mires started forming after the sea retreated, and many are not older than ca. 3,000 years. In 1996, the total number of wetlands (including peat-forming mires, freshwater marshes, and saltmarshes) greater than 1 ha was 150, with a total area of 59,881 ha. In 1928, when many wetlands were yet undeveloped, their total area was 200,642 ha. Most losses occurred between the 1950s and 1970s, when post-war development economics promoted agriculture and large-scale reclamation projects. Currently, 90.7% of mountain wetlands are public land, while 81.3% of the lowland wetlands are private or in mixed ownership. The ownership condition affects the possibilities for the protection of complete mire complexes especially in the lowlands. For effective conservation of wetland ecosystems it is necessary to include the catchment area in the planning of protected areas. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
• Controls on the Carbon Balance of Tropical Peatlands

  Ecosystems 12 (6) 873 - 887 1432-9840 2009 [Refereed]
   

  The carbon balance of tropical peatlands was investigated using measurements of gaseous fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) at several land-use types, including nondrained forest (NDF), drained forest (DF), drained regenerating forest (DRF) after clear cutting and agricultural land (AL) in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Soil greenhouse gas fluxes depended on land-use, water level (WL), microtopography, temperature and vegetation physiology, among which WL was the strongest driver. All sites were CH4 sources on an annual basis and the emissions were higher in sites providing fresh litter deposition and water logged conditions. Soil CO 2 flux increased exponentially with soil temperature (T s) even within an amplitude of 4-5°C. In the NDF soil CO2 flux sharply decreased when WLs rose above -0.2 and 0.1 m for hollows and hummocks, respectively. The sharp decrease suggests that the contribution of surface soil respiration (RS) to total soil CO2 flux is large. In the DF soil CO2 flux increased as WL decreased below -0.7 m probably because the fast aerobic decomposition continued in lower peat. Such an increase in CO 2 flux at low WLs was also found at the stand level of the DF. Soil CO2 flux showed diurnal variation with a peak in the daytime, which would be caused by the circadian rhythm of root respiration. Among the land-use types, annual soil CO2 flux was the largest in the DRF and the smallest in the AL. Overall, the global warming potential (GWP) of CO 2 emissions in these land-use types was much larger than that of CH4 fluxes. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

  This study describes temperature and soil moisture profile of peatland for four land uses condition: Agricultural area, forest, regrowing forest and destroyed forest. The study area covers the former Mega Rice Project (1996-1999) with an area of 1.5 million ha in central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Daily and hourly temperatures and soil moisture content were observed during dry (July-August) and rainy (March) seasons for two years. Results of this study reveal that the developed peatland increases peat surface and air temperatures ranging from 1.09 to 2.97°C. Daily and diurnal temperature fluctuations ranging from 2.25 to 5.55°C affected significantly the decreasing of 11.65% soil moisture content within the top peat layer of 20 cm. This findings offer possible restoration options in order to control hydrogeological change within the study area. © 2007 Asian Network for Scientific Information.

  We investigated vegetation, ground water level and fluctuation, topography, peat accumulation and vegetation changes of Shinoro Mire, an isolated peatland remnant of Ishikari Mire, once the largest mire in Japan. Many pools and drainage ditches have been dug in the mire, which is surrounded by asphalt roads, landfilled areas and drainage ditches. We classified vegetation into five herbaceous communities (Moliniopsis japonica-Sphagnum comm.; Phragmites australis comm.; Moliniopsis japonica comm.; Sasa comm.; and Miscanthus sinensis・Sasa comm.) and one forest community (Betula platyphylla var. japonica・Alnus japonica comm.). Vegetation changes were rapidly progressing as a result of drainage. It was observed by aerial photography Moliniopsis japonica-Sphagnum community had formed where the surface peat have been removed. Topographic survey indicates that there are a few places with lateral flow, a result of banking or landfilling. The water level was high in fall, winter and early spring snowmelt season. In the summer season it was lower and its fluctuation was much greater. Consequently the peat from the ground surface to 50cm depth was in a state of decomposition. These results show that the mire environment is threatened and mire is in danger of being lost.

  Water quality of oxbow lakes in middle and lower reaches of Ishikari river basin, Hokkaido, was investigated with special notice to the Ianduse of their surroundings and the form of usage of water in oxbow lake itself. Water quality of oxbow lake during irrigation period of rice paddy was in good condition. Water quality was also good where its water is utilized as source of irrigation. However, with the increase of upland farming in the watershed, the water quality degraded. It is suggested that the irrigation use of water of oxbow lake will sustain the good condition of water quality, so that the conservation of oxbow lake as one of the important element of rural resources must focus on relation with surrounding agricultural activity.

  Objective of this study is to clarify the functions of oxbow lakes as one of regional resources in rural area. The present status of oxbow lakes has been briefly investigated through interviews from town officers and farmer's water users association. It became clear that most of oxbow lakes in Ishikari river basin are utilized as source and reservoir of irrigation water, parks for recreational use, and retarding pond for flood prevention. etc. In this paper, the flood control function of oxbow lake is high lightened, by quantitative evaluation of simulation model. It is recommended that the various functions of oxbow lake should be evaluated widely ndd effectively utilized as one of valuable regional resources.

  In this paper, the function of water quality conservation by oxbow lakes in Ishikari River basin was evaluated. Many oxbow lakes of Ishikari River basin have been utilized as part of water resource and reservoir of irrigation water for agriculture, especially for circular reuse of irrigation water. Semi-closed oxbow lake that has no outlet to Ishikari River accumulates the load from catchment area in its body, which means effluent load to Ishikari River has been cut. The function of load reduction by oxbow lake that has outlet to Ishikari River was also evaluated from balance calculation. More than 50% and 70% of T-N was reduced by oxbow lake during puddling period and normal period, respectively.

  Mires in coastal lowlands in Hokkaido, northern Japan, have repeatedly been affected by flooding events and tephra (aerially transported volcanic ejecta) deposition during their development. Vegetation, hydrology, and stratigraphy of Kiritappu Mire in eastern Hokkaido were investigated along two transects and are discussed in relation to disturbance by mineral deposition. The vegetation pattern showed little relation to past geologic events. Five plant communities, two of which (A and C) could be further divided into subgroups, were distinguished (A, Alnus japonica - Spiraea salicifolia community; B, Sasa chartacea community; C, Myrica gale var. tomentosa - Sphagnum fuscum community; D, Carex lyngbyei community; E, Carex subspathacea - Aster tripolium community). Water levels, pH, electric conductivity, and ionic composition of groundwater and surface water were measured in communities A-C. Mean water levels were similar in communities A and C; in community B, it was lower. The pH was higher in community A than in communities B and C. Ion concentrations were influenced by sea water at some sites. Plant macrofossils and ash contents of 31 cores were analysed. Sedge roots were the dominant peat component, often mixed with remains of Phragmites australis, Sphagnum spp., and Polytrichum juniperinum var. strictum. Ash contents were high, and up to nine different mineral layers consisting of tephra, sand, silt, and clay were detected. In some cases, mineral deposition induced changes in the macrofossil composition of the peat. However, in a greater number of cases, no changes in the macrofossil composition were found at the mineral layers, and most shifts were not related to mineral deposition.

  River water quality under normal flow conditions was investigated on two watersheds with complex agricultural landuse in Hokkaido, Japan. The main forms of agriculture are upland farming and livestock farming. If all livestock manure is composted and returned to the field, its amount will exceed the required amount of fertilizer in both watersheds. The excess fertilizer may therefore cause water quality degradation. It is highly probably that the location of livestock yards and riverbank landuse strongly influenced the discharge rate of livestock manure generated in the watershed to the river. The river water quality in the watershed, including rice paddies, showed apparent influences of irrigation water. During the irrigation period, the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus of the river water itself was diluted and lowered by irrigation water. However, the output of the load of total nitrogen from the rice paddy was larger than the input, because of the good quality of irrigation water.

• Effect of the Invasion of Vascular Plants on Heat and Water Balance in the Sarobetsu Mire, Northern Japan

  To assess the effect of the invasion of vascular plants on the heat and water balance in a Sphagnum bog, evapotranspiration was compared throughout a growing season in the Sphagnum bog and in the adjoining transition peatland where vascular plants completely cover the ground surface in the Sarobetsu mire, northern Japan. Cumulative evapotranspiration over 152 days was 372 mm in the transition peatland and 285 mm in the bog, with the differences between the sites becoming clear from mid-August. Therefore, we consider the invasion of the vascular plants into the Sphagnum bog to accelerate water consumption. However, levels of evapotranspiration in mid-summer did not differ greatly between the sites. In mid-summer, the ratio of latent heat flux to net radiation decreased in the transition peatland on days when humidity deficit was large, although, in the bog, the ratio showed a large value in those days. We attribute the decrease in the ratio to stomatal closure with the increase in humidity deficit. We also conclude that the invading vascular plants developed a negative feedback mechanism of stomatal response to the humidity deficit of the ambient air in mid-summer.

  The present state of river water quality of dairy farming area in eastern part of Hokkaido, Japan, was studied. From standpoint of water environment conservation, some consideration was made to the landuse as it ought to be. River water concentrations of 5 river basins show following tendency; [Forest basin with natural river channel] < < [Dairy farming basin with natural river channel] < [Dairy farming basin with artificial river channel]. It is remarkable that 80% of total nitrogen take form of NO3-N in dairy farming basins, and that the concentration is higher in basin of large cattle population density per pasture, which suggests the apparent evidence of NO3-N eluviation. Densely populated basin of cattle also shows severe water pollution in relation between river flow and concentration. Artificial river channel indicates higher concentration than that of natural river channel on same level density of cattle population. The function of riparian forest and wetland zones as buffer filter is confirmed. From the fact mentioned above, development of river basin and enlargement of farm keeping give impact not only by scale and condition of farm management, but also influences by the condition of river channel and landuse of the basin. The concept about direction of river environment conservation was mentioned using two axes correspond to input and output of load.

  北海道において，バレイショは麦類，テンサイ，豆類と並んで輪作体系の根幹を担う重要な基幹作物のひとつである。平成22年度の北海道におけるバレイショ生産量は175.3万tで，このうち斜里町・網走市を中心とする地域を中心に74.5万tの澱粉原料用バレイショが生産され，17.9万tのバレイショ澱粉へと加工されている。バレイショ澱粉の製造工程は磨砕，脱汁，篩別，精製，脱水等の過程から成り(第1図)。その過程で多量の工場廃液が発生する。このうちデカンタ廃液は，原料バレイショを磨砕後，脱汁機(デカンタ)によって，固形分(澱粉と澱粉粕)から分離される液体で，年間70万t程度(工場あたり年間1万～10万トン程度)発生する。デカンタ廃液にはタンパク質やリンが多量に含まれ，生物的酸素要求量(BOD)が20,000～50,000ppmと極めて高く，処理までの貯留期間中に腐敗して強烈な臭気を発生し，工場近辺の生活環境に悪影響を及ぼすほか，廃液中にはバレイショの重要病原菌であるジャガイモそうか病菌(以下本文中で「そうか病菌」とは「ジャガイモそうか病菌」を指す)が混入していることが知られている(4) 。現在，澱粉工場廃液は，活性汚泥法等，種々の方法により浄化処理が行われているが，処理に要する大量のエネルギーが澱粉製造コストを押し上げる要因のひとつとなっていることから，低コストで効率的な廃液処理技術が求められている。本研究では伏流式ヨシ濾床人工湿地を用いた一連の澱粉工場廃液浄化試験過程で採取された処理水中のジャガイモそうか病菌Streptomyces. turgidiscabies (以下本文中では特に断らない限り，ジャガイモそうか病菌はS. turgidiscabiesを指すものとする)の菌密度変化を調査し，人工湿地処理による廃液中のそうか病菌密度の低減効果について考察した。

• Vegetation and microtopography of the patterned fen growing the relict species Carex livida in Sarufutsu-River, northern Hokkaido, Japan

  KATO Yukie, FUJITA Hiroko, INOUE Takashi  Vegetation Science  28-  (1)  19  -37  2011  [Not refereed][Not invited]
   

  Carex livida (Wahlenb.) Willd. (livid sedge) is a perennial herb of the family Cyperaceae that is mainly distributed across North America and northern Europe. It is phytogeographically classified as a North American element. In the Far East, its distribution extends to Kamchatka, Kuriles, Sakhalin, Hokkaido, southeastern Siberia, and northern areas of the Korean Peninsula. In Japan, it is only found in the mires of Mt. Taisetsu (central Hokkaido) and Sarufutsu River (northern Hokkaido). Because of this disjunctive distribution, C. livida is considered a relict species from the glacial period. As C. livida favors the circumpolar area, and its distribution in Hokkaido represents the southernmost locality, studying the vegetation and environmental factors that affect C. livida growth in the mires will provide a key to understanding the phytogeographical characteristics of other boreal and arctic plants in northern Japan. The aims of this study are (1) to clarify the phytosociological position of the mire vegetation of Sarufutsu where C. livida grows and (2) to examine the factors common to the mires where C. livida grows across the world. The vegetation and microtopography were surveyed at three mires in the central part of Sarufutsu River Mire. Vegetation was recorded using phytosociological methodology. Microtopography was measured at two areas along lines running in the direction of the slope. Vegetation survey classified the areas as one hollow (Schlenke) community (S1) and three hummock (Bult) communities (S2, S3, and S4). After comparing with the vegetation of mountainous and lowland mires in Hokkaido and Ozegahara Mire and Aizu-tashiroyama Mire in Honshu, it is suggested that the typical subcommunity of S1 (S1-1) corresponded to the hollow vegetation Scheuchzerio-Rhynchosporetum albae. The other subcommunity of S1 (S1-2) and the hummock herbaceous communities (S2 and S3) belong to the intermediate (bog-fen transition) mire Carici-Moliniopsietum japonicae, because Moliniopsis japonica was dominant, and the character and differential species of Carici-Moliniopsietum japonicae and Moliniopsietalia japonicae occurred in a large part of the study area. Carex livida mainly appeared in the hollow community. The microtopographical pattern wherein the kermis and strings were alternately arranged parallel to the contour lines of the sloping mire (called a "Kermi-Schlenke complex") was observed in the C. livida growing mires. In North America and northern Europe, C. livida grows in patterned fen, and the microtopography of this survey area was also regarded as a small patterned fen. Therefore, it is suggested that C. livida grows in and around the hollows in the mires with patterned topography.

• Wetland formation and vegetation changes after the Last Glacial period on the Konsen plateau in eastern Hokkaido, Japan

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science：Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research

  Date (from‐to) : 2018/04 -2021/03 

  Author : FUJITA Hiroko

   

  This study focuses on the wetlands on the marine terraces of Konsen plateau in eastern Hokkaido, to clarify the history of wetland formation and vegetation transition with consideration to the geomorphological development, peat accumulation, and the paleo-environmental changes. It became clear that in this area, when after the marine terraces were formed, the wetland development began on the slight topographical depression on the terrace surface with favorable hydrological conditions for peat accumulation after the Last Glacial Maximum. With climate change in the early Middle Holocene, the peatland formation was continued in the wider area of this region. The later changes in the environmental conditions accompanied vegetation transition and finally reached the present wetland landscape. Through our study, we also discovered that the Habomai Shitsugen in the eastern part of the Nemuro Peninsula is the only blanket-type peatland in the low altitude areas of Japan.

  This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between the formation of the wetlands in the Sarufutsu River valley with geomorphic development, sea-level change, and climate change. In addition to stratigraphic analysis, dating, analysis of plant macrofossil assemblages, pollen analysis, diatom analysis, etc. have been done from the core samples that were acquired by mechanical and manual drilling at the Sarufutsu River wetlands. During the Jomon transgression seawater intruded into the middle to downstream of the valley but it didn't influence the upstream. But even in the upstream area, the formation of the wetlands started since the decline of sea level. This fact suggested that the climatic conditions during the period of coastline regression worked favorably for the wetland formation. The Naka-Shitsugen started the formation of present-type wetland vegetation from 2.4 ka. Maruyama Shitsugen and Kamisarufutu Nishi Shitsugen also started similar formation after 1.3 ka.

  We surveyed the anammox presence in the 7-full-scale hybrid type CWs treating wastewater from livestock farming or livestock products industry, and clarified the relationship between wastewater condition and anammox concentration. Anammox existed with relatively higher concentration in the CWs treating swine wastewater or dairy wastewater with the last bed with vertical flow or before the last bed with horizontal flow, where BOD and COD concentration were low and NO2- and NO3- concentrations were high. The high concentration of anammox DNA continued, however they dropped in winter season with air temperature drops less than zero. This study provides new and useful information to intensify nitrogen removal in hybrid CWs by adding anammox treatment.

  We compared evapotranspiration and carbon balance between areas dominated by sphagnum species and vascular plats,"sasa" using flux monitoring data. Evapotranspiration during the snow-free season was higher at the sphagnum area than the sasa area, which does not support a hypothesis that the invasion of sasa plants with root systems dries the Sarobetsu Mire. The carbon balance during the snow-free season shows that both the ecosystems functioned as net CO_2 sinks to the atmosphere. In 2010, which had a very hot summer, net CO_2 uptake increased in the sphagnum area, whereas it decreased in the sasa area mainly because of increased ecosystem respiration due to high temperature.

  The purpose of this research proposes the solutions to environmental problems causing agricultural water-use in the cold and arid region. Recent 2 years, collaborative research with Japanese and Chinese scientists carried out field investigation above problems in the Tarim River watershed, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. That is, agricultural water-use, soil properties, groundwater conditions and water qualities conducted a field survey mainly at the Shaya irrigation district in the middle reaches of the Tarim River. At the same time, data about water and land resources, agricultural water balance, distribution method of the water, cropping system and others collected from the government offices. Results of investigations and discussions revealed about conservation of the environment in that region as follows; ・Agricultural water distribution could not practice systematically because the developments of water resources and farmland are dependent. ・Systematic irrigation is difficult because water distribute by the supply-driven. ・Farmland accumulating salts is low permeability and high water content of soil. And groundwater table undergoes high level relatively. ・Salt concentration is low in summer but indicates relative high concentration in spring. We have considered the influence of irrigation and ground freezing in winter.

  今年度は,天塩川流域の8ヵ所の河跡湖を対象とした地域資源としての機能分析と評価を中心に調査を実施した。また,過去2年間の石狩川流域河跡湖の調査結果とあわせて,研究の最終年度としてのとりまとめをおこなった。 まず,天塩川流域河跡湖の利用状況の把握や機能評価のために,当該地区の自治体をはじめとする管理主体を対象にヒアリング調査を実施した。その結果,天塩川流域上流に位置する河跡湖では,周辺土地利用は水田が卓越することから水田用水源・補助水源として利用されるものの,下流域では酪農主体の農業経営のため,単なる排水の受け皿として認識されていることが確認された。中流域の河跡湖では,親水公園利用がみられた。また,水面面積の大きな河跡湖では洪水調節機能が付せられていることもわかった。 つぎに河跡湖の水質環境について調査を実施した。各河跡湖において定期的に採水を実施し,さらに重点調査地として2ヵ所の河跡湖では水位変動と流出水量などの連続観測を実施した。窒素,リンに関する各水質項目は,おおむね夏季に良好となり,秋季から悪化する傾向があった。また,春季には,水田地帯の河跡湖で高濃度のSSやT-Nが確認された。これは,水田の代かき・田植えにともなう強制排水の影響と推察された。一方,畑地帯や酪農地帯における春季の水質も高濃度であり,この原因としては融雪や施肥などが影響していると考えられた。 現在,前年度の成果である石狩川河跡湖の水質変動モデルをもとに,今年度のデータを加え,天塩川河跡湖の水質変動モデルの適合性を検討中である。
• Effects of large-scale environmental disturbances through land-use change and fires on the CO2 balance of tropical peat swamp forest

  Tropical peatlands, which coexist with swamp forests, have accumulated vast amounts of carbon as soil organic matter. Since the 1970s, however, deforestation and drainage have progressed on an enormous scale. In addition, El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) drought and large-scale fires, which grow larger under the drought condition, are accelerating peatland devastation. That devastation enhances decomposition of soil organic matter and increases the carbon release to the atmosphere as CO_2. This phenomenon suggests that tropical peatlands have already become a large CO_2 source, but related quantitative information is limited. Therefore, we evaluated the CO_2 balance of a tropical peat swamp forest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, using three years of CO_2 fluxes measured using the eddy covariance technique from 2002 through 2004. The forest was disturbed by drainage; consequently, groundwater level (GL) was reduced. The net ecosystem CO_2 production (NEP) measurements showed seasonal variation, which was slightly positive or almost zero in the early dry season, and most-negative late in the dry season or early the rainy season. This seasonality is attributable to the seasonal pattern of climate, tree phenology and fires. Slightly positive NEP resulted from smaller ecosystem respiration (RE) and larger gross primary production (GPP) under conditions of high photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) and large leaf area index (LAI). The most-negative NEP resulted from smaller GPP and larger RE. The smaller GPP was related to high vapor pressure deficit (VPD), small LAI and low PPFD because of smoke from fires. The larger RE was related to low GL. Annual NEP values were estimated respectively as-602,-382 and-313 gC m^<-2> y^<-1> for 2002, 2003 and 2004. These negative NEP values show that the tropical peat swamp forest, disturbed by drainage, functioned as a CO_2 source. That source intensity was highest in 2002, an ENSO year, mainly because of low PPFD caused by dense smoke emitted from large fires.

  Subsurface drainage is one of the important technologies for the improvement of field condition for agricultural productivity. Simple and objective method for evaluation of efficiency of subsurface drain is required. Inoue and Yamamoto investigated the problem of pipe drain from the viewpoint of its condition of installation by analyzing the concavity and convexity of pipe alignment, and proposed the use of deviation from the configured alignment and the flexion rate of pipe for the pipe condition. The sustainability of drainage function was also verified by continuous measurement of groundwater level and pipe discharge. It is proved that the drainage capability gradually declines with the age. Kashiwagi made investigation on dairy grass productivity and the effect of subsurface drain. Nakamura also made long-term survey on groundwater level and the efficiency of subsurface drain in the paddy-converted upland field. He especially made precise survey on soil permeability condition between two underdrain pipes. Kitagawa developed new technology of 'Cutting drain method' for the restoration of drainage function of the field. This method is applicable not only for peat soil but also for Andosol and gray upland soil. It is a kind of mole drain but has more durability on decay, and cheap to construct. He also developed filter material to avoid clogging of the drainage pipe in acid soil such as mudflow region in downstream of Mt.Tokachi-dake.

  泥炭地湿原植生の復元手法を確立するために、札幌市内に残存する篠路湿地と、道北のサロベツ湿原において復元実験を行なった。 篠路湿地は相観的にはササ原の状態にある。現状把握の調査の結果、篠路湿地には、6群落が分布し、乾燥化にともなう退行遷移の進行が示された。ミズゴケが残存し、湿原特有の植物もみられるヌマガヤ-ミズゴケ群落は、空中写真の解析から泥炭をはぎ取った跡地に成立した植生であることが判明した。現地での植生復元実験から、地表から20〜30cmの分解の進行した泥炭を排除すると、相対的に地下水位が高くなり、ササの排除と低層湿原種の出現が期待できることが明らかになった。出現する植物の中には、現植生内では見られないものが出現し、泥炭内の埋土種子由来と考えられた。 サロベツ湿原では、道路側溝の影響で地下水位が低下し、ササの侵入が著しい場所でミズゴケ優占植生の復元実験を行なっている。実験は条件をかえ、近隣から刈り取ってきたミズゴケの切片を方形区内におおよそ25%面積を覆うように播くもので、ササの地上部を刈り取り、泥炭地面を覆うリターを取り除くことで、2年で被度80%以上までミズゴケを活着・増殖できることが明らかになった。また、泥炭表土を剥ぎ、相対的に地下水位を高くすると、出現するのは周辺の湿原構成植物がほとんどであるが、一部埋土種子由来と考えられる種が確認された。ただしこの地区の地下水位状況は、道路側溝の影響で低下したままであり、本来の高層湿原的環境にないことも確認された。 このほか、石狩平野・新篠津村の残存原野では、地下水位低下を防ぎつつ湿原植生を復元させることが検討されており、現状把握のための植生調査と地下水位変動調査を実施した。その結果、周辺排水路等の影響で地下水位低下が原野の中心部でも顕著に生じていることが判明し、そのための対策が必要なことが明らかとなった。

  Huge amount of tropical peat distribute in Kalimantan, Indonesia, which face a crisis of decomposition by frequent fire because of unruly development and irregular logging. As CO_2 by fire and microorganisms are tremendously, it is observed CO_2 increase in atmosphere clearly. Therfore, we have studied here to rehabilitate forestry and to conserve peat soil in devastated peat land. Obtained results are as follows. (1)Estimation of environmental values 1)Dynamics of chemical compounds and lignin degradation Dynamics of chemical compounds was estimated in peat soil, river, and lake, for which many samples were analyzed. Many number of white rot fungi was isolated from peat soil and wood, some of which have activity to degradation lignin, PCB, Dioxin, so on. 2)Observation of microclimate in tropical peat forestry Microclimate and CO_2 flux were observed at 1)Natural forestry in Kalampangan, which became more dry by affecting on canal digging,2)Burned forestry in Kalampangan, which also became more dry by affecting on canal digging, and 3)Natural laboratory in Setia Alam, which is kept natural condition. We found that disturbed forestry became now carbon source because of low photosynthesis and peat decomposition by microorganisms, which is first finding in the world. (2)Region management system 1)Forestry rehabilitation As Shorea balangeran and S.selanica show high revival ratio and good growth in peat soil, we used these species for rehabilitation in devastated peat land near Palamgka Raya in Central Kalimantan. 2)Human Dimension Program It is very important environmental education for environmental conservation. We develop environmental education program, then teach school students and regional inhabitants. Also we develop an integrated model on rehabilitation and conservation of peat land by the regional inhabitants.

  In the agricultural area in the Yellow River basin in China, a water shortage occurred frequently in 1972 and continued until 1999. We clarified this mechanism and proposed a suitable agricultural form. Evaluation of water resources of the Yellow River basin was performed. The model with surface temperature and albedo by GMS presumes the precipitation of 14 points by multiple linear regression analysis. From this model, we concluded that the precipitation of the Yellow River basin does not have a downward tendency. We developed a model for the solar and net radiation by satellite data and applied to Shenmu and Yucheng form June 2000 to December 2002. The distribution of solar radiation is similar to the climate map by observation. We also developed a model for evapo-transpiration and applied to Ansai. The model showed there were 151 days of water shortage for crops. To keep sufficient water content, irrigation with 239mm of water was needed. The water use in the lower basin is affected the outflow from the upper and the middle basin and although the effort to effective water use was made, the situation is still unpredictable. We also investigated the change of the vegetation in the lower basin of Yellow River during the periods of dry-up of the river by satellite data and observational data in 1981-2000 and found the correlation between the water flow rate and NDVI. It came from the uptake of water from the Yellow River to irrigate the autumn.

  Tropical peatland is important for net carbon (C) storage in the global land surface, but it is also believed to be a major emission source of CH4.Land resource exploitation and burning of peat increases C release from the peatland, and thus contributes to overall global warming. In order in discern the magnitude of agricultural and fire impacts in tropical peatlands on global warming, ground surface emissions of three major greenhouse gases (GHG), CO2, CH4 and N2O, were measured in various ecosystems including forests and agricultural fields, as well as fire-affected lands in Karampangan zone, near Plangka Raya, from 2001 to 2003.After forest burning, the GWP decreased in 32-42% of the GWP from the natural forest, with 99% of the GWP occurring from CO2 emission. However, no trees could absorb the CO2, so the CO2 emissions went directly to the atmosphere.CH4 was emitted from the burned peatland, while CH4 uptake was observed in both the natural and regenerated forests. The GWP in the agricultural field was approximately 2 times larger than that from the natural forest. CO2 emission in the agricultural field was about 5 times larger than that in Japanese crop fields and accounted for 50-90% of the GWP. The remaining GWP was contributed by N2O emission. The N2O emission was considerably high, accounting for 4-23% of the nitrogen (N) application rate of 626 kg N ha1 yr-1.This is probably due to high peat decomposition and high nitrification enhanced by high pH and high exchangeable Ca content us the agricultural fields. Magnitude of forest fire impact on global warming was much higher than agricultural impact. But nitrogen application in agricultural field, which may accelerate peas decomposition, enhanced N2O emission and deduced CH4 uptake.

  The purpose of this research project is to clarify the state and the mechanism of large area subsidence in peatland after its opening for agriculture, and to estimate its future sink. The flat lowland of lower reaches of Ishikari River Basin, Shinotsu Mire, has been chosen as research site, where peat covers in wide range and in the average depth of 3 to 5 meters. We collected old and new maps and plans that involve information of ground height. The characteristics of peat were examined from peat boring. GIS was used for analysis of large area investigation and the functions that influences to the peat subsidence. We also established on-site continuous observation point for ground and peat layer fluctuations. Results are as follows ; 1) From 1956 to 1996, average of 0.4 meters and maximum of 2.9 meters of land subsidence is detected from this area. In past 40 years, large amount of subsidence was found from newly opened area, while old agricultural area also still shows continuing subsidence of peat surface. No clear relations have been found between peat layer thickness, amount of mineral soil dressing, history of landuse and the amount of subsidence. 2) Continuous on-site observation site was established for investigating the ground surface and peat layer movement. The precise fluctuations of peat ground were recorded during the project period. It became clear that these peat layer fluctuations were closely related to changes in shallow-groundwater table, and depth of snow cover. 3) From this research, we concluded that the land subsidence in this area, though its speed may reduce, will prolong for long period.

  The present state of river water quality of several agricultural areas in Hokkaido, Japan, was studied. From standpoint of water environment conservation, some consideration was made to the land use as it ought to be. River water concentrations of dairy farming basins show following tendency ; [Forest basin with natural river channel] << [Dairy farming basin with natural river channel] < [Dairy farming basin with artificial river channel]. It is remarkable that 80% of total nitrogen take form of NO_3-N in dairy farming basins, and that the concentration is higher in basin of large cattle population density per pasture, which suggests the apparent evidence of NO_3-N eluviation. Densely populated basin of cattle also shows severe water pollution in relation between river flow and concentration. Artificial river channel indicates higher concentration than that of natural river channel on same level density of cattle population. The function of riparian forest and wetland zones as buffer filter is confirmed. From the fact mentioned above, development of river basin and enlargement of farm keeping give impact not only by scale and condition of farm management, but also influences by the condition of river channel and land use of the basin. The concept about direction of river environment conservation was mentioned using two axs correspond to input and output of load.

  Vegetation type, water physiology and water/heat balances of hygrophytes community were investigated in the Sarobetsu Mire, North Hokkaido. The results are summarized as follows, a) Diurnal changes of stomatal conductance were measured by a diffusion porometer for six species (Sasa palumata, Moliniopsis japonica, Myrica gale var.tomentosa, Ledum palusire var.diversipilosum, Chamaedaphne calyculata, llex crenata var.paldosa) growing in the Sasa-Hygrophytes mixed community. b) Water potential at a depth of 10cm in the peat soil was closed to zero throughout the summer though the ground water level dropped to 40cm below the surface during dry weather. c) The diameter of the subterranean stem of Myrica gale var. tomentosa were decreased and the length of them were extended with rising ground water level in this site. d) Stomatal conductances of the six species were correlated negatively with daily maximum VPD (vapor pressure deficit). When the daytime VPD was large, stomatal conductance maintained at small values and VPD was the main factor to determine the transpiration.
