  Scientific journal, Abstract
  
  Due to policies supporting large‐scale expansion of plantation forestry, about 40% of the forests in Japan are planted forests, such as Japanese cedar ( Cryptomeria japonica ) and hinoki cypress ( Chamaecyparis obtusa ). We present the largest freely available EcoPlate dataset for planted forests in Japan, comprising data collected from a network of 74 planted forest sites (114 plots) in regions ranging from cool‐temperate to subtropical. The EcoPlate is a 96‐well microplate that contains three sets of 31 “response wells” with different carbon substrates. The utilization of each carbon substrate by the microbial community is quantified based on the color development of the well during incubation, providing a multifunctional index of the soil microbial community. Soil properties (water content, carbon, nitrogen, the carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio, and pH) essential for interpreting the EcoPlate results were also analyzed. Using a standardized protocol, soil was sampled between July and November 2021. A preliminary principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) was performed on the temporal integration of color density using the 31 substrates. PCo1 explained 36.5% of the variance of the overall absorbance of all substrates. A model of environmental factors, including elevation, and a model of soil properties, including pH, water content, and carbon, were the best‐fit models. EcoPlate data allow us to test hypotheses related to community ecology and the ecosystem functions of the soil microbial community in planted forests on a regional scale. The complete data set for this abstract published in the Data Article section of the journal is available in electronic format in MetaCat in JaLTER at https://jalter.diasjp.net/data/ERDP-2024-08 .

  Japanese, 炭素は微生物の増殖に関わる重要な元素であるため，炭素基質の利用に関わる機能（機能の多様性と多機能性）の違いは土壌微生物群集を特徴づける指標となる。土壌微生物群集の機能の多様性と多機能性を評価するために，群集レベルでの炭素基質利用機能の生理的プロファイリング法（CLPP：Community level physiological profiles）が用いられている。森林の土壌微生物群集の機能を測定するCLPP手法の一つとして，BIOLOG^TM社が開発したエコプレートがある。本研究では，森林土壌を扱ったエコプレート実験を始めようと考えている様々な立場の方々（高校教員，大学生，一般市民，研究者）に，参考となる測定条件の情報を提供することを目的とした。参考となる土壌深度，希釈倍率，風乾期間，吸光度の測定期間を解明するために，和歌山県の典型的な照葉樹二次林の褐色森林土を使って異なる測定条件でエコプレート実験を行った。その結果，本調査地においては表層から10 cm程度の土壌層から土壌を採集して，風乾はせずに（やむを得ない場合，測定まで4 ℃程度の冷蔵庫で保管），抽出液は50倍，100倍，200倍の希釈倍率の間で，吸光度の測定は10～14日間かけて実施することが，土壌微生物群集の機能の多様性と多機能性を正確に評価できる妥当な条件であることを示した。

  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, We carefully evaluated hunting incidents to identify risk factors and develop preventive measures. We analyzed 1,471 cases that were reported to the Japanese Hunting Association as fraternal insurance between 2007 and 2011. Most hunters responsible for the incidents were in their sixties and were veterans. Although these cases were treated as "hunting" incidents, the number of incidents associated with firearms was low. Only 144 (9.8%) of all "hunting" incidents were related to firearms, and 18.6% of the cases resulted in death. The most frequent factor responsible for firearm-related incidents was improper handling of firearms. In cases where the victim was mistaken for game, at least 61.5% of the victims were wearing fluorescent orange clothing. It was clear that the main cause of firearm-related incidents was violation of basic hunting rules. Therefore, a new qualification system is required for hunters and managers so that they can demonstrate their understanding of basic hunting principles.

  これまでの報告者らの研究で、南日本の島嶼に生息するニホンジカの足の長さは島ごとに異なり、屋久島に生息するシカの足の長さは、他の島個体群に比べて顕著に短いことが分かってきた。この現象は、島の環境の違いによって足の長さの遺伝形質が分化した局地適応の結果ではないかと予測している。本研究の目的はこの仮説を検証し、九州及び周辺島嶼に生息するニホンジカについて、足の長さの進化と維持の機構を理解することである。本年度は、1)足の長さの変異はどのような環境要因が影響して引き起こされたのか、2)形質の変異には遺伝的要因が関わる適応進化を含んでいるのか、について分析し、3)進化によって変異した形質と、歴史的な隔離によって生まれた中立な遺伝的変異に基づいたグルーピングの2つを合わせ、新しいグルーピング法を提案した研究を進め、博士論文の執筆に取り組み、学位を取得した。1)の内容はOecologia誌に掲載され(Terada et al 2012)、EFES5で発表した。3)の内容は日本哺乳類学会2011年度大会で発表し、ポスター賞「優秀賞」を受賞した。これらの研究で、大型哺乳類において初めて、相対的な中手骨の形質変異が局地適応の結果であることを新しい分析手法を使って示した。シカがそれぞれの島に局地適応した形質をもつことによって、それぞれの島の生態系へ異なる選択圧をあたえている可能性があり、今後の生態学的な研究への発展が期待できる。さらに、今回使った手法は実験不可能な他の生物への応用が可能となると考えられる。
