    Scientific journal, ABSTRACT

    Motivation

    Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R package (BioTIMEr) to facilitate use of the database.

    Main Types of Variables Included

    The database is composed of one main data table containing the abundance records and 11 metadata tables. The data are organised in a hierarchy of scales where 11,989,233 records are nested in 1,603,067 sample events, from 553,253 sampling locations, which are nested in 708 studies. A study is defined as a sampling methodology applied to an assemblage for a minimum of 2 years.

    Spatial Location and Grain

    Sampling locations in BioTIME are distributed across the planet, including marine, terrestrial and freshwater realms. Spatial grain size and extent vary across studies depending on sampling methodology. We recommend gridding of sampling locations into areas of consistent size.

    Time Period and Grain

    The earliest time series in BioTIME start in 1874, and the most recent records are from 2023. Temporal grain and duration vary across studies. We recommend doing sample‐level rarefaction to ensure consistent sampling effort through time before calculating any diversity metric.

    Major Taxa and Level of Measurement

    The database includes any eukaryotic taxa, with a combined total of 56,400 taxa.

    Scientific journal, Abstract

    Birds, bats and ants are recognised as significant arthropod predators. However, empirical studies reveal inconsistent trends in their relative roles in top‐down control across strata. Here, we describe the differences between forest strata in the separate effects of birds, bats and ants on arthropod densities and their cascading effects on plant damage.

    We implemented a factorial design to exclude vertebrates and ants in both the canopy and understorey. Additionally, we separately excluded birds and bats from the understorey using diurnal and nocturnal exclosures. At the end of the experiments, we collected all arthropods and assessed herbivory damage.

    Arthropods responded similarly to predator exclusion across forest strata, with a density increase of 81% on trees without vertebrates and 53% without both vertebrates and ants. Additionally, bird exclusion alone led to an 89% increase in arthropod density, while bat exclusion resulted in a 63% increase. Herbivory increased by 42% when vertebrates were excluded and by 35% when both vertebrates and ants were excluded. Bird exclusion alone increased herbivory damage by 28%, while the exclusion of bats showed a detectable but non‐significant increase (by 22%). In contrast, ant exclusion had no significant effect on arthropod density or herbivory damage across strata.

    Our results reveal that the effects of birds and bats on arthropod density and herbivory damage are similar between the forest canopy and understorey in this temperate forest. In addition, ants were not found to be significant predators in our system. Furthermore, birds, bats and ants appeared to exhibit antagonistic relationships in influencing arthropod density. These findings highlight, unprecedentedly, the equal importance of birds and bats in maintaining ecological balance across different strata of a temperate forest.

    Scientific journal, Abstract

    Long‐term monitoring of forest tree communities is a basis for elucidating forest structure and dynamics and for evaluating ecosystem functions such as primary production. Because global climate change is changing forest ecosystems from the local to the global scale, it is essential to document long‐term monitoring data of forests to examine the temporal and geographical trends of forest changes. We report monitoring data of 45 forest plots (average area 0.69 ha; range 0.0325–6.25 ha) at 27 sites in Japan. These plots are situated within 32.38° N to 43.36° N and at elevations ranging from 8 to 2453 m above sea level. The forest plots include both old‐growth and secondary forests, and cover various forest biomes, such as warm‐temperate evergreen forests, temperate deciduous broadleaved forests, and boreal or sub‐alpine coniferous forests. In each plot, all living trees and lianas larger than a certain minimum size (typically 15 cm stem girth at breast height) were repeatedly measured and survival and recruitment of stems were recorded over 5–40 years (average 17.3 years). The data are presented in the format used by the Monitoring Sites 1000 Project in Japan (Ishihara et al. 2011, Ecological Research, 26, 1007–1008) and in the sample‐based Darwin Core format. This dataset expands existing open monitoring data for Japanese forests and thereby facilitates further meta‐analysis of forest community structures and changes in relation to climate change and other drivers. The complete data set for this abstract is available in electronic format in MetaCat in JaLTER at http://db.cger.nies.go.jp/JaLTER/metacat/metacat/ERDP-2024-03.1/jalter-en.

    Scientific journal, As interest in natural capital grows and society increasingly recognizes the value of biodiversity, we must discuss how ecosystem observations to detect changes in biodiversity can be sustained through collaboration across regions and sectors. However, there are many barriers to establishing and sustaining large-scale, fine-resolution ecosystem observations. First, comprehensive monitoring data on both biodiversity and possible anthropogenic factors are lacking. Second, somein situecosystem observations cannot be systematically established and maintained across locations. Third, equitable solutions across sectors and countries are needed to build a global network. Here, by examining individual cases and emerging frameworks, mainly from (but not limited to) Japan, we illustrate how ecological science relies on long-term data and how neglecting basic monitoring of our home planet further reduces our chances of overcoming the environmental crisis. We also discuss emerging techniques and opportunities, such as environmental DNA and citizen science as well as using the existing and forgotten sites of monitoring, that can help overcome some of the difficulties in establishing and sustaining ecosystem observations at a large scale with fine resolution. Overall, this paper presents a call to action for joint monitoring of biodiversity and anthropogenic factors, the systematic establishment and maintenance ofin situobservations, and equitable solutions across sectors and countries to build a global network, beyond cultures, languages, and economic status. We hope that our proposed framework and the examples from Japan can serve as a starting point for further discussions and collaborations among stakeholders across multiple sectors of society. It is time to take the next step in detecting changes in socio-ecological systems, and if monitoring and observation can be made more equitable and feasible, they will play an even more important role in ensuring global sustainability for future generations.

    Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 4, Frontiers Media SA, 22 Sep. 2021, [Peer-reviewed]
    Scientific journal, Given the time scale based on the duration of exposure to global warming, natural climate-gradient studies and experimental manipulations have detected long-term (decades to centuries) and short-term (years to decades) ecological responses to global warming. Combination of these two complementary approaches within a single study may enable prediction of the likely responses of ecological processes to global warming. To understand how global warming affects plant–herbivore interactions within a canopy of Erman’s birch, we combined an elevational gradient study and a warming experiment involving mature birch trees in which the soil and tree branches were warmed separately. In the elevational gradient study, herbivory by chewing insects and plant growth increased as elevation decreased, and the concentrations of condensed tannins and total phenolics in the leaves decreased. In the warming experiment, soil warming alone increased herbivory, and the addition of branch warming amplified the effect on herbivory. Soil warming alone decreased the tannin concentration, and the addition of branch warming led to a further reduction. The variation in herbivory was best explained by the tannin content of leaves. Our experimental results demonstrate that the decreased tannin content of leaves due to a combination of soil and branch warming was an important driver of increased herbivory in the canopy of the mature birch trees. The similar tendencies in the short- and long-term responses imply that global warming is likely to increase background herbivory in mature birch trees by decreasing the tannin content of leaves in the canopy.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, What is the value of long-term ecological research (LTER) for young academic (or professional) ecologists? In this review, we suggest that combining long-term and large-scale monitoring, which are primary components of LTER, with field experiments allows for effective hypothesis testing in the field. The procedure is as follows: first, long-term and large-scale studies detect new spatial and temporal patterns in ecological processes. Consequently, new hypotheses can be formulated. Finally, field experiments can test these hypotheses by isolating and manipulating the driving factors. This process is very useful because it provides a means of first searching for, and ultimately elucidating the mechanisms underlying, a new subject. To this end, it is also important to connect with other researchers across multiple disciplines. Freeing oneself from private management may also pave the way to new research topics of interest to young ecologists.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, 北海道北部の森林生態系が台風による撹乱をうけた状況を想定し, 撹乱以後の生態系および炭素動態の回復過程を定量的に評価することを目的とした撹乱操作実験が実施された. 本実験に際し, 遷移初期段階にあるダケカンバ二次林を対象に葉群の完全切除が実施された. 撹乱処理の結果, 葉群は撹乱以前の状態への回復の兆候を示すものの, 撹乱から3年経過した段階においても未だに完全な回復に至っていない. 一方で, 同一光条件下での個葉レベルの最大光合成速度は撹乱以前と比べて高まる傾向を示した. また, 撹乱による林冠構造の変化は林床の微気象環境を変化させ, 林床植生であるササの被度を高めた. 本結果から, 葉群撹乱による生態系炭素動態への影響として, 短期的には樹木の光合成機能が高まることで直後にみられる生産性の低下が補償されるが, 一方で長期的にはササの被度を増加させ遷移の進行を妨げることで炭素動態を大きく変化させる可能性のあることが考えられる. したがって, 今後の気候変化に伴い同域に強い勢力の台風が到来する頻度が高まると, 長期的にはササの優占度がさらに高まることで, 従来とは異なる植生状態やそれに伴う生態系炭素動態へ移行する可能性が示唆される.To assess the effects of typhoon-induced disturbance on vegetation state, foliage, and ecosystem carbondynamics, we conducted a manipulation experiment to simulate typhoon disturbance in a northern forest inJapan. The experiment simulated a less intensive disturbance than one that would cause stand replacement,forcing the vegetation to form an alternative stable state. We ripped away most of the foliage from theoverstory trees in an established plot. Three years after this disturbance,the foliage had recovered to one-thirdof its original state before the disturbance occurred,whereas the photosynthetic rate was markedly higher thanthat before the disturbance. The structural changes in the foliage of the overstory trees after the disturbanceresulted in a brighter light environment at the forest floor,which favored the growth of understory vegetation.These results suggest that from a long-term viewpoint,widespread understory Sasa vegetation may disturb theregeneration of tree seedlings,creating an alternative stable state in which Sasa dominates in the next generation of the forested area.

    Japanese, The majority of investigations into increased CO_2 levels are limited to studies of the photosynthesis and respiration of leaves in forest ecosystems. However, temperature increases are predicted to be greater at higher latitudes and will affect virtually all chemical and biological processes. Therefore, ecosystem responses to global warming will be complex and vary temporally and spatially, due to direct and indirect effects. Field manipulations to examine the effects of global wanning have been conducted to determine the response of entire terrestrial ecosystems to an environmental variab...

    Japanese, 撹乱は、直接効果だけでなく相互作用の連鎖によって生じる間接効果でも生物の密度・行動・生存率・分布などに大きな影響を与える可能性がある。その一つは、撹乱後に生き残った植物の表現型の変化によって生じる間接効果である。特に、パイオニア植物では撹乱後に幹から萌芽枝を伸ばす補償生長が起こる場合が多く、補償生長によって間接効果が引き起こされることが知られている。そこで、本稿では撹乱後の植物の変化として補償生長に注目し、撹乱が植物上の昆虫群集へ与える間接効果の研究について解説(紹介)を行った。撹乱による間接効果に関して、これまでに次の3つの成果がある。(1)植食性昆虫の密度にプラスの間接効果を与えること、(2)上位の栄養段階にある捕食性節足動物の密度に影響が及ぶこと(ボトムアップカスケード)、(3)植食性昆虫や捕食性節足動物の種数に影響を与えることである。しかし、これまでの研究では、撹乱後1-2年の短期的な調査に基づくものがほとんどで、「その間接効果の影響力が続く期間」については明確にされてこなかった。今後、撹乱による間接効果の重要性を正しく評価するためには、長期調査を行うことが必要であろう。

    Japanese, 昆虫による被食が植物の質的・量的な変化を引き起こし、他の昆虫に影響を与えるというプロセスを通って、昆虫間に間接効果が生じることが明らかになってきた。これまでのこの植物を介した間接効果の研究では、植物の変化として誘導防御反応に注目していたために、マイナスの間接効果を検出した報告が非常に多い。しかし、植物の変化として被食による構造の変化と補償生長に注目した場合、プラスの間接効果が生じる可能性がある。そこで本総説では、植物上に構造物を作る昆虫としてエゾノカワヤナギSalix miyabeanaに葉巻を作る鱗翅目幼虫と、植物に補償生長を起こさせる昆虫としてジャヤナギS. eriocarpaにゴール(虫こぶ)を形成するヤナギタマバエRabdophaga rididaeに注目することで、プラスの間接効果を検出した研究を紹介した。さらに、ヤナギの特徴である補償生長に焦点を絞って「プラスの間接効果がどの様な条件で生じ、どのような影響を昆虫群集の多様度に与えるのか?」についても考察した。攪乱環境に適応した植物上の昆虫群集では、補償生長を介したプラスの間接効果が普遍的に生じている可能性が高いことを指摘し、攪乱頻度と間接効果が昆虫群集の多様度へ与える影響についての予測をたてた。

    無線センサネットワークやIoT(Internet of Things)などの情報通信インフラや応用サービスに関する研究が活発に行われているが,都市部,郊外など通信・電力インフラが整った地域を対象としている場合が多く,森林地域のような条件不利地域での運用はあまり想定されていない.森林地域の環境は,都市部,郊外と比べて非常に厳しく,また多様である.地形,植生,気象などの電波伝搬障害となる要因が多数存在し,通信機器を稼働させる電力確保も困難な状況であり,恒常的な情報通信インフラ運用には解決すべき課題が多くある.本研究では,森林エリアネットワーク実用化をはばむ,通信インフラ,電力インフラ,ネットワーク運用における課題解決に重点を置いて検討し,実証フィールド(和歌山県,北海道の2カ所)で運用試験により評価することを目的としている.
    2019年度には,北海道大学苫小牧研究林を実証フィールドとして,フィールド内の通信特性の測定実験用のタワーを設置した.2020年度,2021年度は,新型コロナウィルス感染症の影響で国内移動が困難となり,和歌山県,北海道に設置した実証フィールへ計画通りに出向くことがかなわなかった.そのような状況下で,やむなく国内移動することなくコンピュータシミュレーションのみで実施可能な以下を実施した.
    (1)森林エリアでの利用を想定しているLPWA(Low Power Wide Area)通信方式における連続送信時間制限を考慮した送信制御手法の検討と,シミュレーション評価を行った.

    苫小牧研究林のクレーンサイトにおいて地上15-20mにある枝(地上部)の温暖化処理を2008年5月から本格的に開始した。その結果、温暖化処理は、地区部処理区、地下部+地上部処理区、対象区の3つのタイプが揃った。それぞれの温暖化処理区において、このまま温暖化が続いた場合の100年後の気温を想定して5度の温度上昇を維持するための装置も設置してある。この電熱ケーブルを枝に張り巡らす地上部の温暖化処理は世界でも例を見ない手法である。以上の実験環境の整備により、北海道の代表的なミズナラ自然林を舞台に、人工的な温暖化現象を作り出し、樹木にどのような変化が現れるのかを長期的に調べることが可能な状態になった。本年度の温暖化処理区での調査は、昨年に引き続き林冠部の葉形質と食害度の調査を行った。さらに、葉の光合成と呼吸量の測定も行った。温暖化の処理効果を近接リモートセンシングで把握できるようにクレーンの上部に分光カメラと熱カメラを設置して林冠部の撮影によるモニタリングを開始した。一方、林床植物の群集構造そして繁殖戦略についての調査を開始した。土壌の温暖化を直接大きな影響を受けているのは林床植物群集であると考えている。今年度の主な結果は、ドングリ生産量が枝の地上部(枝)の温暖化処理によって2-5倍に増加したことである。また、秋の落葉も10日ほど遅くなり、地上部の温暖化は樹木の様々な生態的な特徴に影響を与えていることがわかってきた。また、樹木の生理機能に関しては、土壌の温暖化処理によって春先の葉の呼吸量が増加することがわかった。しかし、地上部の温暖化処理はこれら機能への影響は見られなかった。
