Abstract

The effect of stand age and DBH in planted Larix kaempferi on the feed frequency of the Myodes rufocanus bedfordiae were analyzed in Ashoro Research Forest, Kyushu University. In addition,the effect of animal damage and meteorological ivent on the growth of L. kaempferi and the hybrid of L. kaempferi and Larix gmelinii var. japonica after planting were investigated for ten years. Positive correlations were found between the age of L. kaemperi and the feeding damage rate by M. rufocanus bedfordiae, and between the diameter of L. kaempferi and the feeding damage rate. Feeding damage by M. rufocanus bedfordiae after planting was more frequent in L. kaempferi than in the hybrid of L. kaempferi and L. gmelinii var. japonica. In order to efficiently manage L. kaempferi plantation forests with feeding damage by M. rufocanus bedfordiae, the monitoring the feeding damage and the clear cut of plantation before expansion of the damage would be needed.
