Title: | Kanumazawa Riparian Research Forest Data, North-East JAPAN, 1993- |
Identifier: | jalter-kanumazawa.3.2 |
Abstract: |
The Kanumazawa Riparian Research Forest is located in a cool temperate deciduous broadleaved forest that is dominated by Cercidiphyllum japonicum Sieb. et Zucc., Aesculus x carnea Heyne, Pterocarya rhoifolia Sieb. et Zucc., and Fagus crenata Bl. This natural forest, which has developed along a torrent in a gorge, is believed to contain trees that are up to 1000 years old, and there are almost no traces of disturbance by humans. Snowfall in winter can exceed 2 meters. The forest floor is dominated by Camellia japonica Linn. var. decumbens Sugimoto.

Sampling, Processing and Quality Control Methods
Step by Step Procedures
|
Step 1: |
Description:
|
Tree survey
Each tree at the research site having a gbh of at least 15 cm is surveyed. The following information from each surveyed stem is recorded: girth, species, location (5 m activity).
|
|
Sampling Area And Frequency:
|
Data have been collected in 1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2003 and 2007, the next survey is scheduled for 2011. Roughly 5000 stems are surveyed at one time.
|
Sampling Description:
|
The irregularly narrow shaped site (380 m in length, with a maximum width of 170 m) covers an area of 4.7 hectares along Kanumazawa Creek. Of this total, 2.5 hectares are in the gorge, 1 ha is in terraced uplands, and the remaining area is either steep colluvial slopes or eroded slopes between the gorge and terrace. The establishment of the study area was begun in 1988, when a 0.5 ha plot was set up near the upstream road. The next year, 1989, the plot was expanded to 1 ha to complete its initial form. After that, the plot was expanded to 2 ha in 1992, and expanded again in 1993 to 4.71 ha (including upland terraces), its present area.
