Japanese Journal by RICHARD E
Japanese Journal by RICHARD E. WEAVER, JR. ’ The aim of the Arnold Arboretum’s collecting trip to Japan and Korea in the fall of 1977 has already been explained briefly in the January- February issue of Arnoldia. The present article will describe in more detail our experiences in Japan; another in the next issue of Arnoldia will cover the Korean portion of the trip. Space allows for the de- scription of only the most memorable days, but a detailed itinerary with a list of the plants collected each day appears at the end of the article. Steve Spongberg and I left Logan International Airport 10 : 00 a.m. on September 1, and after changing planes in Chicago, headed for Tokyo. Our route took us across Canada’s Prairie Provinces, the southern Yukon Territory, and Alaska’s Coast Ranges to Anchorage. The views of the ice-clad peaks and glacier-filled valleys were spec- tacular and we had an enticing glimpse of Mt. McKinley on the horizon. After a frustrating hour at the Anchorage airport, we took off on the long last leg of our trip, arriving at our hotel approximately 15 hours after leaving Boston. The next morning was spent in the Ginza, the main shopping district, where everything was fascinating, particularly the flower and pro- duce shops. The former featured many standard items, but we found several surprises: One of the most common potted plants was a dwarf form of Gentiana scabra, a native Japanese gentian. Other gentians, particularly G. triflora var. japonica, a bottle-type, were sold as cut flowers. -
For More Than Forty Years, Japan Hes Been Cooperating with Partner Countries for Sustainable Forest Management
1. 2/3 OF APAN IS OVERED WITH ORESTS FOREST J C F RESOURCES CREATING A LAND OF GREENERY. ■ JAPAN 44° Japan is located at the eastern edge of the Eurasia, between longitudes of 123 and 149 degrees and latitudes 40° of 24 and 46 degrees. It is an archipelago extending over approximately 3,000 km from the Northeast to the 36° Southwest and land area of about 380,000 square kilometers. In general, the topography is very steep. Mountains ranging from 2,000-3,000 meters high form a 32° rugged backbone through the center of the country. 132° 136° 140° 1. Varietry of Forests Range from Sub-tropical forests to Alpine Forests. Japan has a wet monsoon climate and experiences distinct seasonal changes between the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Also, meteorological conditions vary because of the latitudinal difference, dividing the forests into six types. Moreover, since high mountains range through the center of the country, it is possible to find vertical variation in forest types even in areas at the same latitude. Thus the forests are extremely rich in variation. ■ The Distribution of Japan’s Forests Atpine zone Sub-frigid forest Cool temperate coniferous forest mixed with broad-leaved trees Cool temperate forest Warm temperate forest Sub-tropical forest Sub-frigid forest ■ Effects of Altitude on Vegetation The example of Norikuradake mountain(3,026m) 3000m Pinus pumila Betula Ermanii Abies Mariesii Abies Veitchii 2000m Abies homolepis Fagus crenata Abies firma 1000m Cyclobalanopsis spp.(ever green oak).

The Role of Fir Species in the Silviculture of British Forests
Kastamonu Üni., Orman Fakültesi Dergisi, 2012, Özel Sayı: 15-26 Kastamonu Univ., Journal of Forestry Faculty, 2012, Special Issue The Role of True Fir Species in the Silviculture of British Forests: past, present and future W.L. MASON Forest Research, Northern Research Station, Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland EH25 9SY, U.K. E.mail:[email protected] Abstract There are no true fir species (Abies spp.) native to the British Isles: the first to be introduced was Abies alba in the 1600s which was planted on some scale until the late 1800s when it proved vulnerable to an insect pest. Thereafter interest switched to North American species, particularly grand (Abies grandis) and noble (Abies procera) firs. Provenance tests were established for A. alba, A. amabilis, A. grandis, and A. procera. Other silver fir species were trialled in forest plots with varying success. Although species such as grand fir have proved highly productive on favourable sites, their initial slow growth on new planting sites and limited tolerance of the moist nutrient-poor soils characteristic of upland Britain restricted their use in the afforestation programmes of the last century. As a consequence, in 2010, there were about 8000 ha of Abies species in Britain, comprising less than one per cent of the forest area. Recent species trials have confirmed that best growth is on mineral soils and that, in open ground conditions, establishment takes longer than for other conifers. However, changes in forest policies increasingly favour the use of Continuous Cover Forestry and the shade tolerant nature of many fir species makes them candidates for use with selection or shelterwood silvicultural systems. -

Potential Impact of Climate Change
Adhikari et al. Journal of Ecology and Environment (2018) 42:36 Journal of Ecology https://doi.org/10.1186/s41610-018-0095-y and Environment RESEARCH Open Access Potential impact of climate change on the species richness of subalpine plant species in the mountain national parks of South Korea Pradeep Adhikari, Man-Seok Shin, Ja-Young Jeon, Hyun Woo Kim, Seungbum Hong and Changwan Seo* Abstract Background: Subalpine ecosystems at high altitudes and latitudes are particularly sensitive to climate change. In South Korea, the prediction of the species richness of subalpine plant species under future climate change is not well studied. Thus, this study aims to assess the potential impact of climate change on species richness of subalpine plant species (14 species) in the 17 mountain national parks (MNPs) of South Korea under climate change scenarios’ representative concentration pathways (RCP) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) and Migclim for the years 2050 and 2070. Results: Altogether, 723 species occurrence points of 14 species and six selected variables were used in modeling. The models developed for all species showed excellent performance (AUC > 0.89 and TSS > 0.70). The results predicted a significant loss of species richness in all MNPs. Under RCP 4.5, the range of reduction was predicted to be 15.38–94.02% by 2050 and 21.42–96.64% by 2070. Similarly, under RCP 8.5, it will decline 15.38–97.9% by 2050 and 23.07–100% by 2070. The reduction was relatively high in the MNPs located in the central regions (Songnisan and Gyeryongsan), eastern region (Juwangsan), and southern regions (Mudeungsan, Wolchulsan, Hallasan, and Jirisan) compared to the northern and northeastern regions (Odaesan, Seoraksan, Chiaksan, and Taebaeksan). -

Takahashi et al. 2 Abstract The stand structure and regeneration dynamics of trees > 2.0 m in trunk height were studied during 1982–1998 in a 1-ha plot in a sub-boreal conifer-hardwood mixed forest, northern Japan, with a dense dwarf bamboo in the understory. Total density was low in 1982 (651 trees/ha), as compared with other forests in Japan. Quercus crispula was dominant in the upper canopy layer but their saplings were rare, while Acer mono, Acer japonicum and Abies sachalinensis were dominant in the sub-canopy and understory layers with many saplings. Mortality of each species was quite low during the census period (average 0.57%/yr), and there was no clear difference among the four species. The age structure of Quercus crispula was bell-shaped with a peak at ca. -

The constructed MRF enabled prediction of the optimum seed source to achieve good performance in terms of height growth at every planting site on a fine scale. Background and objectives: Because forest tree species are adapted to the local environment, local seeds are empirically considered as the best sources for planting. However, in some cases, local seed sources show lower performance in height growth than that showed by non-local seed sources. -

The tree-ring based NDVI reconstruction tracks the observed data well (r=0.577, p<0.01, n=25) and precisely captures the drought events recorded in historical documents that occurred over a large area in 1917 and 1938. After applying a 21-year moving average, three dense (1860–1870, 1891–1907, and 1950–1974) and three sparse (1871–1890, 1908–1949, and 1975–2006) vegetation coverage periods were found in this reconstruction.
