Error estimation of trunk diameter and tree height measured with a backpack LiDAR system in Japanese plantation forests
Trunk biomass in a forest is necessary information for good forest management. The trunk biomass is usually calculated by an allometric formula using trunk diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height (TH) ...

Annual leaf loss caused by folivorous insects in tropical rain forests on Mt. Kinabalu, Borneo
Few studies have been done on the quantification of stand-level leaf herbivory in tropical forests. We evaluated the significance of annual leaf loss due to folivorous insects on the calculation of aboveground...

Effects of tidal fluctuations on CO2 and CH4 fluxes in the littoral zone of a brackish-water lake
We examined the effects of tidal fluctuations on CO2 and CH4 fluxes from sediment or soil to the atmosphere in the littoral zone of a brackish-water lake during the growing seasons in 2004 and 2005. The dominant ...

On the relationships between leaf-litter lignin and net primary productivity in tropical rain forests
We investigated if tropical rainforest trees produced more-lignified leaves in less productive environments using forests on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo. Our investigation was based on two earlier suggestions that ...

Warming effects on growth, production, and vegetation structure of alpine shrubs: a five-year experiment in northern Japan
Warming effects on shoot growth, production, reproductive activity, and vegetation structure of alpine shrubs were measured over 5 years in a mid-latitude alpine fellfield in northern Japan. Open-top chambers ...

Leaf phenology, seasonal changes in leaf quality and herbivory pattern of Sanguisorba tenuifolia at different altitudes
Leaf demography, seasonal changes in leaf quality and leaf-beetle herbivory of a herbaceous perennial plant, Sanguisorba tenuifolia, were compared between low- and high-elevation sites. Leaf nitrogen concentrati...

Classification of Japanese rivers by heavy metals in bottom mud
Bottom mud was collected from the upper and lower reaches of 92 rivers in Japan to determine the distribution of 0.5N-HCI-soluble heavy metals. The average concentrations of Cu, Zn, Pb, and Cd in the mud from ...
