  Abstract Envisioning positive scenarios that recognize the multiple values of nature is fundamental for designing transformative changes in local socio-ecological systems. This study developed a protocol with three specifications for operationalizing the Nature Futures Framework (NFF) in a landscape scenario analysis using a multi-objective optimization framework composed of: (1) exploring nature-positive futures, (2) seeking alternative pathways for targets satisfying visions of plural values, and (3) screening key direct drivers to achieve the targets. This research conducted a case study of a rural landscape in northeastern Japan. First, 110 strategies of landscape management options were simulated from 2015 to 2100 using a forest landscape model, LANDIS-II. The simulation developed a data frame of four integrated indicators of the NFF values for each year and strategy. Second, nature-positive strategies were screened using the common values. Pareto optimal strategies were then identified to obtain equally good solutions. Finally, the key response options to achieve good nature-positive futures were identified using decision tree analysis. Our protocol identified (1) multiple, but few nature-positive and Pareto optimal strategies that satisfied NFF visions, (2) nature-positive, but not Pareto optimal strategies, and (3) non-nature-positive strategies. In most Pareto optimal strategies, the maximized value perspectives changed over time. Our protocol also identified key response options to achieve three different NFF value perspectives in the case study area: (1) clear or selective cutting in forestry and (2) solar PV installation on abandoned pastureland in agriculture and energy sectors. We discussed the implication for local landscape management, localizing NFF narratives to develop future scenarios and modeling practice of NFF. The protocol does not depend on a specific model and indicator. Thus, our scalable protocol can be applied to scenarios and model practices in any region to support envisioning plausible, feasible, and positive futures, and designing future stakeholder collaboration.

  Abstract The frequency and intensity of typhoons are expected to increase over time due to climate change. These changes may expose forests to more windthrow in the future, and increasing the resilience of hemiboreal forests through forest management after windthrow is important. Here, we quantified forest structure recovery using aerial photos and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data after catastrophic windthrow events. Our aims are to test the following three hypotheses: (1) forest structure will not recover within 30 years after windthrow, (2) forest recovery will be affected not only by salvaging but also pre-windthrow attributes and geographical features, and (3) various post-windthrow management including salvaging will drastically alter tree species composition and delay forest recovery. Our results revealed that hypothesis (1) and (2) were supported and (3) was partially supported. The ordination results suggested that more than 30 years were needed to recover canopy tree height after windthrow in hemiboreal forests in Hokkaido, Japan. Salvage logging did not delay natural succession, but it significantly decreased the cover ratio of conifer species sites (0.107 ± 0.023) compared with natural succession sites (0.310 ± 0.091). The higher the elevation, the steeper the site, and the higher the average canopy height before windthrow, the slower the recovery of forest stands after windthrow and salvaging. Scarification and planting after salvage logging significantly increased the number of canopy trees, but those sites differed completely in species composition from the old growth forests. Our study thus determined that the choice and intensity of post-disturbance management in hemiboreal forests should be carefully considered based on the management purpose and local characteristics.

  Disturbances in forest ecosystems are expected to increase by the end of the twenty-first century. An understanding of these disturbed areas is critical to defining management measures to improve forest resilience. While some studies emphasize the importance of quick salvage logging, others emphasize the importance of the deadwood for biodiversity. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing is playing an important role to acquire information in these areas through the structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry process. However, the technique faces challenges due to the fundamental principle of SfM photogrammetry as a passive optical method. In this study, we investigated a UAV video-based technology called full motion video (FMV) to identify fallen and snapped trees in a windthrow area. We compared the performance of FMV and an orthomosaic, created by the SfM photogrammetry process, to manually identify fallen and snapped trees, using a ground survey as a reference. The results showed that FMV was able to identify both types of damaged trees due to the ability of video to deliver better context awareness compared to the orthomosaic, although providing lower position accuracy. In addition to its processing being simpler, FMV technology showed great potential to support the interpretation of conventional UAV remote sensing analysis and ground surveys, providing forest managers with fast and reliable information about damaged trees in windthrow areas.

  The development of UAV technologies offers practical methods to create landcover maps for monitoring and management of areas affected by natural disasters such as landslides. The present study aims at comparing the capability of two different types of UAV to deliver precise information, in order to characterize vegetation at landslide areas over a period of months. For the comparison, an RGB UAV and a Multispectral UAV were used to identify three different classes: vegetation, bare soil, and dead matter, from April to July 2021. The results showed high overall accuracy values (>95%) for the Multispectral UAV, as compared to the RGB UAV, which had lower overall accuracies. Although having lower overall accuracies, the vegetation class of the RGB UAV presented high producer’s and user’s accuracy over time, comparable to the Multispectral UAV results. Image quality played an important role in this study, where higher accuracy values were found on cloudy days. Both RGB and Multispectral UAVs presented similar patterns of vegetation, bare soil, and dead matter classes, where the increase in vegetation class was consistent with the decrease in bare soil and dead matter class. The present study suggests that the Multispectral UAV is more suitable in characterizing vegetation, bare soil, and dead matter classes on landslide areas while the RGB UAV can deliver reliable information for vegetation monitoring.

• Restoration of Natural Forests After Severe Wind Disturbance in a Cold, Snowy Region With a Deer Population: Implications From 15 Years of Field Experiments

  Frontiers in Forests and Global Change 4 1 - 11 2021/07/05 [Refereed]
   

  Questions have been raised about the application of conventional post-windthrow forest practices such as salvage logging, site preparation, and afforestation in response to the increase in wind disturbance caused by climate change. In particular, it is necessary to identify effective forest management practices that consider the pressure from deer browsing in forests in cold, snowy regions because the population of ungulates is expected to increase. The impacts of legacy destruction, i.e., the destruction of advance regeneration, microsites, and soil structure, caused by conventional post-windthrow practices have rarely been assessed separately from the impacts of subsequent deer browsing on forest regeneration or evaluated based on sufficiently long monitoring periods to assess vegetation succession. This lack of studies is one reason that alternative forest management practices to salvaging and planting have not been proposed. We conducted a field experiment at a large-scale windthrow site with a deer population to (1) assess the impact of legacy destruction and deer browsing on vegetation biomass and species composition after 15 years and (2) identify the effects of legacy retention. The study design allowed us to distinguish between and measure the impact of legacy destruction and that of subsequent deer browsing during a 15-year period. The results revealed the following: (1) Salvage logging and site preparation suppressed the development of biomass of shrub and tree layers in forested areas where harvest residues were piled up and shifted the plant communities in these areas to herbaceous plant communities. (2) Subsequent deer browsing suppressed the development of the biomass of shrub and tree layers throughout the forested site and shifted herbaceous communities to ruderal communities dominated by alien species; and 3. Compared with salvaging and planting, legacy retention enabled the windthrow sites to more quickly develop into a stand with characteristics similar to that of a mature, natural forest. Forest management practices that consider the presence of deer are necessary. We propose a policy shift from planting trees after salvaging to leaving downed trees to regenerate natural forests, unless there is concern about insect damage to the remaining forestry land in the vicinity.

  Investigating factors underlying human-wildlife conflicts in agricultural landscapes is important for both preventing crop damage and wildlife conservation. Although environments surrounding crop fields are considered causal factors, incorporating individual aspects of animals, such as demographic and physical characteristics, into the investigation may aid the prediction of how nuisance control affects wildlife population structures. Here, we assessed the relationship of corn consumption by Hokkaido brown bears (Ursus arctos) with both demographic (sex and age) and physical (body size) characteristics and environmental factors (human presence and crop accessibility). We estimated the proportion of corn in the lifespan diet for both female (n = 61) and male (n = 62) bears using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analyses. Then, we analyzed the factors correlated with corn consumption using a generalized linear model. Female and male bears consumed corn from 1.3 to 30.9% and 1.3 to 42.0% of their lifespan diet, respectively. Corn consumption by female bears was not correlated with any explanatory variables, whereas that of male bears was positively correlated with their body size and crop accessibility but negatively correlated with human presence. Large male bears were more likely to have consumed more corn than small male bears, but the selective harvest of large bears may cause dwarfism of their overall population, impacting the local population dynamics. To reduce agricultural damage and population structure alteration of brown bears, the opportunity for them to learn to eat crops must be eliminated through border management between forests and agricultural fields and the relocation of agricultural fields when possible.

  Species distribution models can be used to predict favorable areas for population persistence under contemporary climate change. However, these predictions are often based on broad-scale environmental variables and lack consideration of local-scale environments. Small areas where species are protected from unfavorable regional conditions by using locally favorable conditions, which are called microrefugia, are therefore often overlooked in current approaches used to conserve biodiversity. Here, using a two-step approach, we explored the existence of microrefugia of a cold-adapted mammal, the Japanese pika (Ochotona hyperborea yesoensis). We first identified broad-scale factors related to Japanese pika distribution and distinguished broadly favorable and unfavorable areas. Then, we assessed whether environmental conditions favorable to Japanese pikas existed at the local scale in habitats where they were present in unfavorable areas by focusing on thermal, vegetative, and ground conditions. We found that the Japanese pika distribution was substantially restricted by the mean summer temperature, suggesting that lower elevation areas were unfavorable for persistence. However, subsequent local-scale measurements indicated that while the average summer temperature in the Japanese pika habitats was higher in unfavorable areas than in favorable areas, rock interstices prevented the average and acute heat stress from reaching the thresholds known to limit Japanese pika activity. Moreover, summer thermal conditions in rock interstices in unfavorable areas were more stable than those in favorable areas. Taken together, our results indicate that lower-elevation areas are predicted to be unfavorable due to the broad-scale climate, but microclimates that allow Japanese pikas to behaviorally thermoregulate exist at the local scale, thereby suggesting the existence of microrefugia. In addition, winter thermal conditions did not differ among all thermal indices between the areas, and unfavorable areas possessed more developed vegetation and fewer rock interstices. Our results highlight the importance of examining local habitat conditions and suggest that using only broad-scale assessments may risk overlooking areas with a high potential for conservation. In the case of Japanese pikas, cool and stable microclimates at lower elevations were found to possess high conservation value in terms of enhancing population persistence under climate change.

  There have been many earlier studies of the biodiversity and ecosystem services of abandoned farmlands, but studies of abandoned villages are limited, particularly in Asian countries. The drastic aging and depopulation of Japanese society will likely lead to increased village abandonment in the future. To properly manage abandoned villages and build a comprehensive land-use plan, we need to know how natural succession will proceed after the abandonment of local towns and villages. We investigated forest structures and compositions at the sites of abandoned mining villages and compared them with ambient undisturbed natural forests. The environmental factors that determine plant succession are the distance from ambient forests, land-use period, and years since abandonment. The results showed that the sizes of tall trees and species diversity of understory vegetation recovered to the level of the control sites approximately 50-60 years after village abandonment. However, the species compositions of tall trees and understory vegetation were fairly different from those of the control sites. The distance from ambient natural forest, which regulates the seed supply for abandoned sites; land-use periods, which are surrogates for the durations of anthropogenic disturbance; and times since abandonment are strong drivers of the recovery of forest species compositions.

  The number of intense tropical cyclones is expected to increase in the future, causing severe damage to forest ecosystems. Remote sensing plays an important role in detecting changes in land cover caused by these tropical storms. Remote sensing techniques have been widely used in different phases of disaster risk management because they can deliver information rapidly to the concerned parties. Although remote sensing technology is already available, an examination of appropriate methods based on the type of disaster is still missing. Our goal is to compare the suitability of three different conventional classification methods for fast and easy change detection analysis using high-spatial-resolution and high-temporal-resolution remote sensing imagery to identify areas with windthrow and landslides caused by typhoons. In August 2016, four typhoons hit Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan, creating large areas of windthrow and landslides. We compared the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) filtering method, the spectral angle mapper (SAM) method, and the support vector machine (SVM) method to identify windthrow and landslides in two different study areas in southwestern Hokkaido. These methodologies were evaluated using PlanetScope data with a resolution of 3 m/px and validated with reference data based on Worldview2 data with a very high resolution of 0.46 m/px. The results showed that all three methods, when applied to high-spatial-resolution imagery, can deliver sufficient results for windthrow and landslide detection. In particular, the SAM method performed better at windthrow detection, and the NDVI filtering method performed better at landslide detection.

• Application of UAV Photogrammetry with LiDAR Data to Facilitate the Estimation of Tree Locations and DBH Values for High-Value Timber Species in Northern Japanese Mixed-Wood Forests

  High-value timber species play an important economic role in forest management. The individual tree information for such species is necessary for practical forest management and for conservation purposes. Digital aerial photogrammetry derived from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV-DAP) can provide fine spatial and spectral information, as well as information on the three-dimensional (3D) structure of a forest canopy. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data enable area-wide 3D tree mapping and provide accurate forest floor terrain information. In this study, we evaluated the potential use of UAV-DAP and LiDAR data for the estimation of individual tree location and diameter at breast height (DBH) values of large-size high-value timber species in northern Japanese mixed-wood forests. We performed multiresolution segmentation of UAV-DAP orthophotographs to derive individual tree crown. We used object-based image analysis and random forest algorithm to classify the forest canopy into five categories: three high-value timber species, other broadleaf species, and conifer species. The UAV-DAP technique produced overall accuracy values of 73% and 63% for classification of the forest canopy in two forest management sub-compartments. In addition, we estimated individual tree DBH Values of high-value timber species through field survey, LiDAR, and UAV-DAP data. The results indicated that UAV-DAP can predict individual tree DBH Values, with comparable accuracy to DBH prediction using field and LiDAR data. The results of this study are useful for forest managers when searching for high-value timber trees and estimating tree size in large mixed-wood forests and can be applied in single-tree management systems for high-value timber species.

  To mitigate the negative effects of climate change, it is necessary to conserve carbon stocks in forests. Typhoons fell many standing trees and generate a substantial amount of coarse woody debris (CWD). In boreal forests, CWD contributes to maintaining carbon stocks for a long time after a disturbance because the decomposition rate of CWD is relatively low. We know that salvage logging after a disturbance tremendously decreases the forest carbon stock over the short term after logging but know little about its long-term effects. We targeted a catastrophic windthrow caused by a super typhoon in 1954 in boreal forests in northern Japan and estimated the long-term effects of salvage logging after the windthrow on the above- and belowground carbon stocks by comparing old-growth forests with low damage from the super typhoon in 1954 or any subsequent typhoons (OG), forests damaged by the typhoon with remaining CWD (i.e., windthrow, WT), and forests damaged by the typhoon followed by salvage logging (WT + SL). The CWD carbon stock of decay class 5 (i.e., the most decayed CWD) in WT was significantly larger than that in OG and WT + SL, suggesting that the CWD in decay class 5 in WT had been generated by the typhoon 64 years ago, and the negative effect of salvage logging on the carbon stock still remains apparent in the CWD carbon stock of decay class 5. The carbon stock of the organic (0) layer in WT was larger than that in WT + SL, probably because of three factors: (1) the slower decomposition rate of fallen leaves and twigs of conifers than broadleaves, as conifer litter is abundant in WT; (2) greater carbon transition from the CWD to the 0 layer in WT; and (3) the occurrence of a lower decomposition rate in the 0 layer in WT. However, the total carbon stock in WT + SL has almost recovered to the level of that in WT within the last 64 years. The carbon stocks of broadleaves that grew rapidly after the disturbance and the newly accumulated dead trees generated throughout the stand developmental process might contribute to the recovery of carbon stock in WT + SL. These results indicate that salvage logging affects the allocation of carbon in the forest even after 64 years after a catastrophic windthrow, although there was no large difference in total carbon stock.

  In the era of global climate change, the risk of large-scale flood disasters has been increasing. Green infrastructure has gained increasing attention as one of the strategies for adaptation to mega-floods because it can concurrently enhance regional biodiversity and ecosystem services. Previous studies have assessed the efficacy of flood-control infrastructure in protecting biodiversity in urban areas. However, whether such infrastructure enhances biodiversity in other environments remains largely unknown. In this study, we assessed the function of flood-control basins constructed for flood risk management as summer habitat for wetland species in agricultural landscapes. We compared the species assemblages of four different taxa (fishes, aquatic insects, birds, and plants) among four water body types (flood-control basins, channelized watercourses, drainage pumping stations, and remnant ponds). We found that the flood-control basins had comparable or higher species richness and abundance of most taxa than the other water body types. We also found that the species compositions in the flood-control basins were characterized by pioneer species, which prefer shallow water or can adapt to fluctuations in water levels (e.g., herbivorous insects, shorebirds, and hygrophytes). These findings suggest that flood-control basins can provide summer habitat for wetland species, especially for species that inhabit environments with hydrological variation, and utilizing flood-control basins as green infrastructure is a reasonable option for conserving regional biodiversity in agricultural landscapes.

  © 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd In recent years, we have experienced mega-flood disasters in Japan due to climate change. In the last century, we have been building disaster prevention infrastructure (artificial levees and dams, referred to as “grey infrastructure”) to protect human lives and assets from floods, but these hard protective measures will not function against mega-floods. Moreover, in a drastically depopulating society such as that in Japan, farmland abandonment prevails, and it will be more difficult to maintain grey infrastructure with a limited tax income. In this study, we propose the introduction of green infrastructure (GI) as an adaptation strategy for climate change. If we can use abandoned farmlands as GI, they may function to reduce disaster risks and provide habitats for various organisms that are adapted to wetland environments. First, we present a conceptual framework for disaster prevention using a hybrid of GI and conventional grey infrastructure. In this combination, the fundamental GI, composed of forests and wetlands in the catchment (GI-1) and additional multilevel GIs such as flood control basins that function when floodwater exceeds the planning level (GI-2) are introduced. We evaluated the flood attenuation function (GI-1) of the Kushiro Wetland using a hydrological model and developed a methodology for selecting suitable locations of GI-2, considering flood risk, biodiversity and the distribution of abandoned farmlands, which represent social and economic costs. The results indicated that the Kushiro Wetland acts as a large natural reservoir that attenuates the hydrological peak discharge during floods and suitable locations for introducing GI-2 are concentrated in floodplain areas developing in the downstream reaches of large rivers. Finally, we discussed the network structure of GI-1 as a hub and GI-2 as a dispersal site for conservation of the Red-crowned Crane, one of the symbolic species of Japan.

  Natural restoration of historical wetland plant communities in fallow fields with a degraded seed bank has been assumed to be possible only if source populations of the target species are present adjacent to the abandoned fields and a high density of suitable microsites is available. However, few studies have monitored both factors simultaneously and verified this assumption. We hypothesized that plant communities that are similar to historical wetlands, including back marshes, back swamps, and bogs, will reestablish in abandoned pasturelands in cases when (1) gaps for new recruitment emerge, followed by the decline of pastures; and (2) seeds with longevity are supplied from the surrounding remnant plant communities of wetlands. We conducted a survey of vegetation and microsites in pastures, abandoned pastures, and reference wetlands followed by structural equation modeling to verify our hypothesis for the natural restoration of Phragmites australis-Phalaris arundinacea and Alnus japonica-Spiraea salicifolia communities. These communities represent historical back marshes and back swamps along a river. However, our hypothesis was not verified for the natural restoration of Vaccinium oxycoccos-Sphagnum spp. communities, which represent plant communities in historical bogs grown on acidic peat that are maintained by rainfall and fog. Our findings partly support our hypothesis that decline in pastures creates gaps and that cumulative seed dispersal from nearby remnant wetlands allows the original wetland plant communities to regenerate. Further case studies are needed to determine how the natural restoration of bog plant communities occurs.

  The use of various modeling approaches is critical in the assessment of ecosystem services. Although numerous assessments have been conducted as scholarly studies to quantify, map, and value ecosystem services, a wellstructured platform is necessary to ensure consistency of the assessment approaches with regard to theories and practices. To identify gaps between practical ecosystem services assessments and scholarly studies in the Asian region, we reviewed assessment cases in the Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) catalogue and peer-reviewed literature using Web platforms. We identified 31 assessment cases and 290 such peer-reviewed studies conducted throughout Asia. Our review of recent peerreviewed studies revealed a bias in the geographic distribution, with numerous Chinese studies and few studies in West Asia. Our comparison of the approaches applied in the assessment cases with those in the peer-reviewed studies revealed that little information on the models was reported in the assessment cases, whereas the approaches used in the peer-reviewed studies were mostly modeling and biophysical indicators. Although the modeling and scenario approaches used in the actual assessments require further clarification in the IPBES catalogue, many scientific modeling studies have been conducted throughout Asia. These scientific data, however, are not easily accessible to those outside of academic communities. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a new catalogue to guide all the stakeholders involved in ecosystem services assessment at multiple scales.

• Environmental factors determining the distribution of highland plants at low-altitude algific talus sites

  ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH 32 (2) 183 - 191 0912-3814 2017/03 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  Algific talus is a micro-scale habitat type where highland plants (subalpine and alpine species) are found, disjunct from their typical range, in lowland forests. On algific talus, cold airflows from the interstices between talus fragments create a local microclimate colder than surrounding forests. Despite of the widely-known occurrence of unique vegetation on algific talus, critical environmental factors determining the distribution of highland species in this habitat type are unclear. In order to reveal the environmental factors enabling highland species to inhabit algific talus, we investigated the vegetation and environments of 26 algific talus sites and four reference (non-algific talus) sites in Hokkaido, northern Japan. Several algific talus sites were dominated by highland species, while some algific talus sites and all non-algific talus sites were dominated by lowland species. Community analysis based on detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and canonical corresponding analysis (CCA) revealed that the algific talus sites dominated by highland species had lower ground temperature, more acidic soil, larger canopy openness, and less diverse vegetation than the sites dominated by lowland species. Highland plants might be maintained under conditions stressful for lowland plants, resulting in less competitive situation. Generalized linear models (GLM), used to evaluate the response of individual highland species to environmental factors, revealed that preferable environmental conditions for highland plants are highly species specific. These results indicate that the maintenance of diverse environments is crucial for the conservation of the unique vegetation and local populations of highland species in algific talus areas.

• Feeding habits may explain the morphological uniqueness of brown bears on Etorofu Island, Southern Kuril Islands in East Asia

  The brown bear (Ursus arctos) population on Etorofu Island, Southern Kuril Islands, has several unique morphological features: (1) the presence of white-pelage bears within the population and (2) a larger body size than bears on a larger neighbour island, Hokkaido Island. Nevertheless, little ecological information is available about Etorofu brown bears. In the present study, we reveal the unique feeding habits of Etorofu brown bears and suggest that their unique morphological features and diet are related. The feeding habits of brown bears on Etorofu Island were assessed using carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur stable isotope analysis, and their feeding habits were compared with those of bears on the eastern side of Hokkaido Island. According to the stable isotope analysis, the dependence on salmon is great for bears on Etorofu but only slight for bears on Hokkaido. Our results suggest that the feeding habits of Etorofu brown bears may explain their unique morphological features because a white pelage colour confers an advantage when catching salmon, and a carnivorous diet can make their body size larger. The variation in feeding habits can be an important driver of the speciation and evolution of animals. (C) 2016 The Linnean Society of London

  CANADIAN JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY 94 (7) 489 - 495 0008-4301 2016/07 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  A recent study found a historical decline in the proportion of meat in the diet of brown bears (Ursus arctos L., 1758) in the Hokkaido Islands, Japan. Because feeding habits are strongly correlated with the body size of animals, the shift in diet should have led to a decrease in the size of these bears. To predict the effects of this dietary shift on the skeletal size in bears, we correlated the femur length in Hokkaido brown bears with the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values from bone samples and predicted the historical change in their body size. The variation in the femur lengths of the male and female subpopulations was positively correlated with their delta N-15 values, but not with their delta C-13 values, and the explanatory power of the constructed model was higher in males than in females. Based on the model and the delta N-15 values for historic and modern bears, the skeletal size of bear subpopulations in eastern Hokkaido was estimated to have decreased by 10%-18% for males and 8%-9% for females. Our results suggest that a historical dietary shift caused the decrease in the size of the Hokkaido brown bears.

  URBAN ECOSYSTEMS 19 (1) 523 - 534 1083-8155 2016/03 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  Biodiversity conservation and restoration in cities is a global challenge for the 21st century. Unlike other common ecosystems, urban landscapes are predominantly covered by gray, artificial structures (e.g., buildings and roads), and remaining green spaces are scarce. Therefore, to conserve biodiversity in urban areas, understanding the potential conservation value of artificial structures is vital. Here, we examined factors influencing the distribution of ferns in building gaps, one of the more common artificial structures, in urban Sapporo, northern Japan. We observed 29 fern species, which corresponds to 30 % of all fern species previously recorded in Sapporo. The four dominant species were Equisetum arvense, Matteuccia struthiopteris, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, and Athyrium yokoscense. Statistical analyses showed that their distribution patterns in building gaps were associated with both local- and landscape-scale environmental factors. Although ground cover type and distance from continuous forests were the most important determinants, other factors such as the amount of solar radiation, habitat age (years after building development), and urban district type also affected fern distribution. These results suggest that building gaps act as an important habitat for ferns in highly urbanized landscapes. Policy makers and city planners should therefore not overlook these cryptic habitats. Clarifying the ecological functions of artificial structures will both further our understanding of novel ecosystems and develop a new framework for conserving and restoring biodiversity in human-modified landscapes.

  © 2016, Japan Society of Hydrology and Water Resources. A windthrow refers to the uprooting and overthrowing of trees by the wind. Typhoons are a major cause of windthrows in Japan and are predicted to intensify under global warming. This study aimed to estimate the impact of climate change on windthrows and evaluate possible adaptation measures for sustainable forest management. We incorporated Typhoon Songda (2004) simulation experiments under current and pseudo-global warming (2075–2099, RCP 8.5 scenario) conditions with windthrow modelling in four natural and four artificial (Abies sachalinensis, Pinaceae) forests of Hokkaido. Unexpectedly, pseudo-global warming conditions decreased windthrow probabilities compared with current conditions for both forest types, presumably because wind speeds of the simulated typhoon weakened in Japan’s high-latitude regions. Our results indicate that reconversion of artificial forests into natural forests largely decreased windthrow probability, providing a potential adaptation measure for improved forest management. To fully understand the range of climate-change effects on windthrow in Japan, future studies should use different climate scenarios and data from other typhoons, geographical regions, and forest types.

  Human activities have had the strongest impacts on natural ecosystems since the last glacial period, including the alteration of interspecific relationships such as food webs. In this paper, we present a historical record of major alterations of trophic structure by revealing millennium-scale dietary shifts of brown bears (Ursus arctos) on the Hokkaido islands, Japan, using carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur stable isotope analysis. Dietary analysis of brown bears revealed that salmon consumption by bears in the eastern region of Hokkaido significantly decreased from 19% to 8%. In addition, consumption of terrestrial animals decreased from 56% to 5% in western region, and 64% to 8% in eastern region. These dietary shifts are likely to have occurred in the last approximately 100-200 years, which coincides with the beginning of modernisation in this region. Our results suggest that human activities have caused an alteration in the trophic structure of brown bears in the Hokkaido islands. This alteration includes a major decline in the marine-terrestrial linkage in eastern region, and a loss of indirect-interactions between bears and wolves, because the interactions potentially enhanced deer predation by brown bears.

  Interactions between brown bears (Ursus arctos) and anadromous salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) constitute a unique energy pathway that facilitates nutrient cycling between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Previous studies have documented variation in salmon consumption by brown bears; however, few have addressed potential anthropogenic factors influencing consumption. We assessed diet of brown bears on Hokkaido Island, Japan, using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes to determine the effect of demographic (age and sex) and environmental (developed and undeveloped area) factors on salmon consumption. We collected thigh bones from 190 harvested bears from 1996 to 2011 and samples of their major dietary foods from 2009 to 2011, and we then estimated the potential contributions of these foods to the diets of brown bears using a Bayesian mixing model. Brown bears consumed more herbs, fruits, and corn than terrestrial animals or salmon at the population level. However, the dietary contribution of salmon varied widely among bears; in some cases, it comprised >30% of the total diet. Salmon consumption also varied by bear age class, sex, and location. Low salmon consumption by adult females with cubs suggested avoidance of salmon-spawning areas to minimize risk to their cubs. Bears inhabiting undeveloped areas were more likely to consume salmon than those inhabiting developed areas, suggesting that human activities restrict brown bears' salmon consumption. The lower salmon intake of Hokkaido brown bears compared with Alaskan brown bears may be attributed in part to extensive human development on Hokkaido Island, including in-stream structures that preclude salmon migrations and agricultural crops that provide an alternative food subsidy.

• Forest restoration following a windthrow: how legacy retention versus plantation after salvaging alters the trajectory of initial recovery

  LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING 9 (2) 259 - 270 1860-1871 2013/07 [Refereed][Not invited]
   

  Recently, the conversion of plantations into natural forests has attracted increasing attention, but little is known about how to convert a windthrown plantation into a natural forest. We examined the initial 3-year effects of salvage logging, site preparation, planting, and weeding in comparison with the effects of legacy retention after a typhoon blowdown on the changes in terrestrial environments and plant compositions and the similarity of the species composition to that of the intact natural forest. Our major findings are as follows: (1) A homogeneous, sunny, and flat environment continued for 3 years in the planted and weeded plot, whereas a heterogeneous environment was observed in the legacy retention plot; however, the light environment changed slightly in the planted plot. (2) The species composition in the planted plots changed greatly due to invasion by annual, biennial, and perennial herbs and early successional trees. Alien species also invaded the planted row. Conversely, the species composition changed little in the legacy retention, which was likely due to the presence of residual plants that prevented shade-intolerant species from being established. (3) The legacy retention, followed by the residual row, was the closest to the natural forest with respect to species composition, whereas the planted row was the most dissimilar from the natural forest. Legacy retention appears to be the most appropriate way to restore a natural forest immediately after a windthrow, yet supplemental planting may be necessary to restore the desired broadleaved species.

  近年, 持続的森林管理や生物多様性への関心の高まりから, 様々な方法で人工林から自然林への誘導・転換が試みられている。風倒跡地で倒木搬出や地拵えといった伝統的施業をせずに植生の回復を待つ方法もそのひとつである。この方法ではピットやマウンドなどの多様な微細地形が残存するため, それらの環境に応じて多様な植物が定着する可能性がある。この検証は、植物の種多様性を考慮した施業方法を考える上で有用である。以上を踏まえ本研究では, 2004年の台風で倒壊した北海道千歳国有林のトドマツ人工林２箇所において, 微細地形の物理環境と生育する維管束植物の種組成を比較した。その結果, 撹乱強度が小さく林冠木が生残している調査地では, 林床は全体的に半日陰となり, 微細地形間の物理環境・種組成の違いは小さかった。撹乱強度が大きく林冠木が全くなくなった調査地では, 林床は直射日光があたりやすく乾燥する傾向にあり, 微細地形間の物理環境・種組成の違いは前者よりも顕著であった。以上のことから, 倒木を残置した風倒跡地における微細地形間の物理環境と植物の種組成は, 撹乱の強度によって異なる可能性が示唆された。

  Nihon Ringakkai Shi/Journal of the Japanese Forestry Society 日本森林学会 94 (1) 10 - 16 1349-8509 2012/02/01 [Not refereed][Not invited]
   

  This study investigated the effects of salvage logging on deer browsing and the impact of browsing on vegetation in a windthrown conifer plantation forest We compared browsing pressure among three treatments: "log", fallen logs retained; "planted", planting after salvaging; and "residual", residual rows with coarse woody debris that emerged after establishing planting rows. Then, we established a deer enclosure fence for each treatment The results showed that browsing pressure was highest in the "planted" site, followed by the "residual" and "log" sites. This suggests that deer avoided places where fallen logs were left and that the arrangement of logs influenced browsing. Assessing the impact of browsing on the vegetation, we found increased herbaceous species richness outside the fence at the "planted" site and decreased vegetation height and herbaceous species richness outside the fence at the "residual" site. We did not find an impact of browsing on the vegetation at the "log" site. These changes may have been caused by differences in the species composition, height, and coverage of the vegetation among the treatments, by deer browsing, which decreased the volume of dominant plants, and by seed dispersal by deer. It was suggested that deer browsing can be decreased by keeping large fallen logs, although the effects of deer browsing on the vegetation were complicated and should be subject to long-term monitoring.

  This study sought to clarify the effect of fire history on the current environment and flowering landscape of rhododendrons using three landscape ecological indices. The fire history was grouped by the frequency of fires and the number of years since the last fire. It was found that changes in the flowering landscape depend on fire frequency. When a fire happened only once, the native rhododendron cover increased and the shape became simpler because the growth of shrubs other than native rhododendrons was inhibited. When fires happened twice, these indices did not change because the shrub c...

  LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING 7 (2) 185 - 193 1860-1871 2011/07 [Not refereed][Not invited]
   

  To develop an appropriate method of conservation for native Rhododendron sections Brachycalyx and Tsutsusi, the symbol of Satoyama, field experiments were performed in the dry granite region of Japan. When carpet-type landscape of native rhododendrons was desired, all plants were cut at 20 cm above the ground level of all trees and shrubs, and herbs and ferns were weeded (once and three times, respectively). When shrubby-type landscape of native rhododendrons was desired, all plants, excluding native rhododendrons, were cut at 20 cm above the ground level of all trees and shrubs, herbs and ferns were weeded, and litter was swept. After 3 years of monitoring of the percentage and depth of crowns with flower buds, the following major results were obtained: Cutting all plants excluding native rhododendrons was effective to maintain the depth of crowns with flower buds. However, weeding and sweeping of litter on the ground caused desiccation of surface soil, which induced a transitory decrease in the percentage of crowns with flower buds. One weeding was effective in maintaining the depth of crowns with flower buds; however, the second and third weedings had no distinct effect. In dry granite regions, considerable attention to desiccation of surface soil is critical, as opposed to limiting attention to maintenance of sunlight as is common practice.
• Initial vegetation recovery following a blowdown of a conifer plantation in monsoonal East Asia: Impacts of legacy retention, salvaging, site preparation, and weeding

  Junko Morimoto, Miho Morimoto, Futoshi Nakamura

  FOREST ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT 261 (8) 1353 - 1361 0378-1127 2011/04 [Not refereed][Not invited]
   

  All or a part of a sequence of forest practices (i.e., salvage logging, site preparation, planting crop trees, and weeding) has been implemented after natural disturbances for the rapid re-establishment of tree cover. Forest policies in Japan have recently changed from monocultural planting of coniferous crop trees to planting native broadleaved trees to restore forests and nurture local biodiversity following large windthrows. However, the effects of this new practice on preserving biodiversity, as well as the effects of legacy retention, have never been verified in Asia. Thus, the objective of our research was to compare the effects of legacy retention with plantation after salvaging on the initial stage of vegetation recovery in a blowdown area, specifically focusing on plant species diversity, the occurrence of alien species, and the composition of plant species. Following the analysis of our results, we finally describe appropriate practices to alter disturbed coniferous plantations to bring the species composition closer to that of the original natural mixed forests. A control (A, legacy retention) and three experimental treatment sites (B, salvage logged, site prepared, and Quercus crispula seedlings planted; C, same as B, but weeded once during the summer; and D, residual rows that emerged after establishing sites for planting) were prepared, and quadrats were set. Eleven indicators of the ground condition and the number of vascular plant species, including ferns, were quantified, and the number and abundance of residual and newly colonized plants of the main woody species were estimated. Our main findings were as follows: (1) in unsalvaged sites and residual rows, the diversity of plant species was poor, but a variety of plant species compositions were observed due to the heterogeneous conditions of the ground and ample residual plants; (2) in the planting site, many species appeared, but little variety of the species composition was observed due to the homogeneous condition of the ground and the destruction of residual plants; (3) a large number of alien species emerged in broad, unvegetated areas; (4) the impact of site preparation overwhelmed the impact of salvage logging on the initial recovery of plant species; and (5) to restore a natural mixed forest, a combination of legacy retention and plantation after salvaging would be the most appropriate.

  LANDSCAPE AND ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING 6 (2) 325 - 333 1860-1871 2010/07 [Not refereed][Not invited]
   

  Secondary forests in Japan have been abandoned and the ecosystem has degraded since the high economic growth period. We carried out cutting in January in three small areas of a long-abandoned secondary forest and investigated the sprout initiation and growth of woody plants for three years in order to reveal the early stage of sprout regeneration and to understand the sprouting ability and characteristics of each species for effective management. The percentage of sprouted stumps and the number of sprouting shoots was substantially maximized in autumn in the first year. These results suggest that autumn monitoring in the first year after cutting shows the maximum percentage of sprouted stumps and the maximum sprout number when cutting was conducted in the dormant season. With regards to species characteristics, Eurya japonica showed a low percentage of sprouted stumps in the lower plot, where the mean diameter at breast height for this species was smaller than in the other plots. The sprouting ability of E. japonica was deemed to be influenced by parent tree size. Ilex pedunculosa and Lyonia ovalifolia var. elliptica had high percentages of sprouted stumps and many sprouts. These species are useful for obtaining sprouting shoots (e.g., for firewood), but it is difficult to control their sprouting.

• Distribution and characteristics of the soil seed bank of the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) in a headwater basin in northern Japan

  Invasive expansion of Robinia pseudoacacia is a worldwide problem. A method to control existing R. pseudoacacia populations is urgently needed. In addition to plants above the ground, seed banks should be targets for the management of R. pseudoacacia. We targeted an old plantation of R. pseudoacacia and its surroundings in a headwater basin to determine the spatial characteristics of the distribution. We established 49 square plots in which the number of buried seeds and seeds dispersed by wind, and several other related environmental factors were surveyed. The relationship between the spatial extent of seeds dispersed by wind and the distribution of the seed bank was analyzed. Environmental factors that potentially influenced the density of buried seeds were also analyzed. We found that barochory and anemochory were the main factors that contributed to R. pseudoacacia forming seed banks. The greatest factor controlling the density of buried seeds was slope angle; thus, transfer of seeds by rolling is important for the formation of seed banks in headwater basins. From these results, some guidelines for the management of seed banks in headwater basin are presented. First, unnecessary soil disturbance within about a 100-m buffer area around seeding trees should be avoided. Second, plantation soil from gentle slopes should not be applied for revegetation of other locations. In situations where R. pseudoacacia populations are planted on steep slopes near streams, there is a chance that seeds will be carried away and form seed banks at lower or downstream sites.

  Controls of floods and water quality are of great concern in Shiraoi town, Hokkaido. The function of soil and water conservation in three sub-watersheds in the town was evaluated and its reliability was tested. The methods to evaluate forest function, which was developed by Hokkaido prefecture government, are easy to employ, and the results are easy to understand for local people, and therefore we used them. The chronological changes in those functions were compared among three sub-watersheds in the following three years. They are 1948 representing the period of postwar rehabilitation, 1976 being post rapid growth period in Japanese economy, and 2006, the period after the collapse of bubble economy. Agreements of the scores and vegetation changes due to the change of social situation were examined. In results, 1) function of soil and water conservation were degraded temporarily after clear-cutting, 2) conversion of land use to the quarries caused a decline in the function of soil and water conservation, which may continue for a long time, 3) function of mitigating drought and flood was most sensitively affected by forest exploitation, 4) function of controlling water quality greatly declined when riparian zone having steep slopes was broadly developed. The scores were mostly explained by vegetation changes due to the change of social situation. While comparing scores of other sub-watersheds pointed out problems to be solved. It is necessary to simplify the evaluation procedure and show standards of judgment with regard to scores to make the guideline more lucid one.

  A sub-global assessment (SGA) began in Japan in November 2006, and is projected to end in May 2010, when the Tenth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10) will be held in Nagoya City. Since May 2008, we have been involved in the evaluation of the Hokkaido Cluster, one of four clusters assessed. This report provides a brief background of the relationships between the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) and the SGA, and the governance structure of the SGA in Japan. It also describes our efforts in assessing the Hokkaido Cluster and discusses the challenges of SGA at the cluster and national levels. The MA was a 4-year international appraisal of scientific knowledge on world ecosystems and included global and sub-global assessment. After the MA, Japan began a satoyama-satoumi SGA in 2006. This is composed of six teams: the board, a science assessment panel, author groups, local advisory bodies, the board of review editors, and secretariat. Author groups include a national group and groups for four local clusters: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hoku-shin-etsu, and Western Japan. Work in the Hokkaido Cluster began with a small group in 2008. Authors for the cluster report were selected from among experts on important events regarding satoyama and satoumi in Hokkaido. Generally, Hokkaido has no traditional satoyama-satoumi landscapes created by long-term interactions with the local people. We are now seeking the style of sustainable nature use that is best suited to Hokkaido. The SGA in Japan now faces the challenge of integrating the four cluster assessments according to common indicators.

• The actual conditions of the market distribution of Rhododendron section Brachycaryx in Kanagawa Prefecture and guidelines for planting concerning the genetic diversity in its natural habitat

  Landscape ecology and management 日本景観生態学会 11 (2) 63 - 71 1880-0092 2007/03 [Not refereed][Not invited]
   

  The actual conditions of the market distribution of Japanese Rhododendron section Brachycaryx was investigated in Kanagawa Prefecture to reach guidelines for planting concerning genetic diversity in its natural habitat. We found that producers do not have obligations to show species names of plants after the survey at the wholesale market, and that growing environment of seed trees should cause the hybrid-plants after the survey at nurseries. There was little possibility of pollen introduction into natural habitat from nurseries in the study area after the analysis of geographic distribution of natural habitats, nurseries, and selling places. However, pollen exchange between natural habitats and nurseries may change the genetic heterogeneity in natural habitats in the case where nurseries are inside of the foraging range of main pollinators, and where the arrangement of nurseries in a landscape are suitable for pollinators to move. Concerning this state and these analyses, three problems to be solved were recognized : (1) Species name of plants is to be rightly recognized at the wholesale market, (2) Give care not to produce hybrid-plants, and (3) Species for cultivation is to be restricted at nurseries near natural habitats. Guidelines to solve these problems were devised : 1) Producers precisely identify the plants at nurseries, and 2) Species names identified by producers should be open to the public at the wholesale market, concerning issue (1), 3) Mix-planting of multi- (sub) species of seed trees is to be avoided at nurseries, and 4) Seeds for nursery plants should be collected from pure seed trees, concerning issue (2), and 5) Foraging range of major pollinators, Bombus species is to be surveyed, 6) Area inside the foraging range of main pollinators needs the special care not to cultivate the species that naturally survive, and 7) Species for cultivation should be restricted according to the arrangement of nurseries outside of the foraging range of major pollinators, concerning issue (3).

  Secondary nature, which is maintained by human interference, in a sense is more difficult to preserve than virgin nature because it deeply relates to lifestyles of human beings. Secondary forests of satoyama, including pine-dominated forests and coppice forests, are facing increased crises since oil for fuel took the place of firewood and charcoal in 1950s. We tried to detect the long-term dynamism of satoyama in a fringe area of Kyoto city quantitatively and spatially by the survival of native Rhododendrons, ecological indicators of ancient satoyama. In the landscape of the eastern fringe of Kyoto city, native Rhododendrons have decreased, while the total basal area has increased in the 21 years since 1974. The survival and reproductive situations of native Rhododendrons were different in each type of ecotope, which were extracted from features of geology, topology and forest physiognomy. A relatively high number of native Rhododendrons survived in the ecotope types of deciduous forests on granite compared to that in the ecotope types of evergreen forests. Seedlings of native Rhododendrons were observed only on mosses in the natural forest of Japanese cypress on consolidated sediment of the Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras. Without resuming coppicing for regeneration of native Rhododendrons, or litter clearing for establishment of seedlings, colonies of native Rhododendrons are expected to go on decreasing. We need to take different measures to meet each situation of ecotope type. In order to work out a strategy for conservation of secondary nature, it is necessary to make the target clear in quantity and in space. Detecting the long-term dynamism of representative species of secondary nature should provide practical information for strategic planning of conserving secondary nature. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V.

• Effects of excessive harvest on plant species and forest structures in a subtropical evergreen forest of Castanopsis sieboldii

  The subtropical evergreen forest of Yanbaru in the northern district of Okinawa is famous for its treasury of biodiversity. For the most part, biodiversity continues to persist in abundance, especially in the forests inside the US Marine base - The Jungle Warfare Training Center (JWTC), which escaped the excessive harvest after WWII. However, these forests also experienced excessive use of trees and shrubs during the war. Now that the return of more than half the JWTC area is close at hand, it is important to clarify the effects of this pre-1945 impact in order to develop a biological conservation plan. Accordingly, plant species and forest structures in evergreen broadleaved forests dominated by Castanopsis sieboldii, the major forest type in Yanbaru, were investigated. The impact of severe use during the war was not detected in species richness and species composition. However, stand volumes and foliage height diversity in forests that were severely used before 1945 were found to be less developed. Rehabilitation of these severely used forests of C. sieboldii is an important mission for biological conservation, because many indigenous animals selectively inhabit old-grown forests of C. sieboldii with highly developed structures. © 2003 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

  京都市近郊のヒノキ二次林において合計0.21haの施業区を設置し,生物多様性を回復させることを目的として針葉樹11本と落葉広葉樹26本を残しすべての植生を伐採した。伐採後の木本植生の多様性の変化を,萌芽更新と実生更新に着目して調査を行った結果,どの斜面位置においても伐採前に比べて伐採後に種数が増加した。新たに出現した種は28種であり,それらは主に鳥類によって散布された種子と埋土種子からの発芽であると考えられた。保残木施業による天然更新を促す手法を用いた小面積伐採は,木本植生の多様性を回復させるのに一定の効果があることが示された。また,遷移が進行した都市近郊二次林では,林相の種組成が単純であるため周囲からの新しい種の供給は小さく,新しい種の供給源として埋土種子の役割が重要であると考えられた。

  The experiments of direct seeding, planting pot-seedlings, and transplanting of Rhododendron reticulatum and R. macrosepalum, which are the typical native species of Rhododendron in the secondary forest neighboring Kyoto City, were made in the secondary forest where the native colonies of Rhododendron is declining. The initial growth of them were investigated. The main results were as follows. 1) The rate of establishment of seedlings to the total number of seeds was relatively larger when seeds were sown early in the spring on the fertilized peat moss in the outside of the forest, or on th...

• The mechanism for regulating the number of flowers at the shoot level and the estimation of the number of flowers using transition matrices in Rhododendron reticulatum.

  Morimoto J, Yoshida H

  Journal of the Japanese Forestry Society 一般社団法人日本森林学会 81 (3) 203 - 209 0021-485X 1999/08/16 [Not refereed][Not invited]
   

  The mechanism for regulating the number of flowers by resource allocation at the shoot level was investigated in Rhododendron reticulatum. Shoots were separated into four categories according to presence or absence of flower bud and characteristics of the branch system. Resources (dried weight of leaves) per leaf shoot in each category increased with increasing light intensity. The relationships between resources and the number of flowers in the following year were investigated, which resulted in the positive correlation of categories. Thus, it was found that the number of flowers was regul...

• Estimation of the Growing Rate of the Crowns and the Prospective Structure in Rhododendron reticulatum(PAPERS OF THE 17th SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH MEETING)

  Transition matrices of shoot dynamics of Rhododendron reticulatum were made for each stem growing in different light environments. Their dominant eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors were calculated to estimate the growing rate of the individual stem crowns and the prospective structure. Stem crowns in edge environments were predicted to be expanding, however, some stem crowns in gap and closed environments were predicted to be shrinking because of lower light intensity. Dispersed percentages of flower shoots among stems in edge environment were caused by the fluctuation of the light int...

  Two year-old seedlings of Quercus glauca, Quercus serrata and Zelkova serrata were grown in gravel cultures using water solutions. In order to examine the effects of long-term water stress, the osmotic potential of the water solutions were maintained at -0.02MPa, -0.04MPa, and -0.30MPa for about a year by polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatments. Different effect patterns were detected in each species. In Quercus glauca, quantitative and physiological effects were detected, but morphological effects did not appear. However in Quercus serrata and Zelkova serrata, not only quantitative and physio...

  Flowering mechanism of Rhododendron reticulatum is analyzed through flower bud ratio, shoot composition, and shoot dynamics. Solar radiation was measured continuously in 1996. In results, 1) Differentiation of flower bud was not occurred in the light environment less than 41.0 MJ・m^<-2>・month^<-1>. 2) There was not significant correlation between solar radiation and flower bud ratio. 3) The annual growth rate of vegetative shoots tended to be higher in more intensive light environment. The ratio of flower shoot (F-shoot) and flower sylleptic shoot (FS-shoot) were also higher in more intensi...

  We conducted the research for 1) Elucidating the actual situation of risks caused by abandonment of satoyama forests and artificial forests, 2) modeling risks and extracting high-risk areas, and 3) drawing a scenario of withdrawal from satoyama forest and artificial forest. As a result, 1) the windthow risk in artificial forests rises more greatly in places with high risk even in natural forests, 2) big male bear with large body sizes appear on low popularity agricultural land adjacent to the forest and use corn. 3) as a means to reduce both risks of artificial forests and satoyama forests, there is the conversion of artificial forests into mixed forest. Conversion of the old stands into mixed forests which is located on the protrusions on the slope is the most effective for reducing windthrow risks. We proposed other management methods for effective risk mitigation.

  This project focused on connectivity between various ecosystems, and examined the effects of restoration project. Among fish and aquatic insects, only high mobility groups could enhance species richness as spatial and hydrologic connectivity increased. Pond connectivity significantly affected the spatial variation of both population abundance and genetic diversity of the ninespine stickleback. We revealed millennium-scale dietary shifts of brown bears on the Hokkaido islands, Japan, using carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur stable isotope analysis, and found that human activities have caused an alteration in the trophic structure of brown bears. The meander and floodplains restoration project successfully increased the frequency of flooding over the floodplains and raised the water table, resulting in an increase of abundance and species richness of fish and invertebrate species and wetland vegetation areas.
• Risk assessment of conflicts between human and wild animals toward the reconstruction of Satoyama region

  After analyzing spatial features that conflicts between human and Ursus actors, it was found that differences on the land cover and land use in a landscape triggers the differences on the spatial features that conflicts occurs. Validation analyses on existing control policies of agricultural damage by Cervus nippon yesoensis revealed that today's level of capturing does not have advantageous effects, and deer fence that protect over 25% of agricultural lands have effects for the first time.
• Interdisciplinary research on prioritization of restoration sites and technical development of restoration methods

  We developed methodology of ecosystem evaluations regarding forests, rivers and agricultural lands. Also, we examined connectivity and historical changes of habitat mosaics and roles of biological legacies such as large wood in recovering processes of vegetation and stream biota. Fishes, invertebrates, plants, amphibians, mussels and mammals were selected as indicator species to evaluate restoration project based upon the results of monitoring and experiment. As for the economical and social aspects, restoration projects were analyzed, and social acceptance and future dimension were discussed.
