Abstract

The Larix kaempferi artificial forest in Ashoro Research Forest, Kyushu University was burned on May 3, 2015. Initial stage of post-fire vegetation was investigated in summer of 2015 and 2016. The Sasa nipponica community is usually distributed under most of forests in this area including investigation sites in Ashoro. Although the S. nipponica community recovered soon after the forest fire, the dominance of S. nipponica in the second year was higher than in the first year. Because some grass and herb species appeared after the fire immediately, the plant community of the burned area was more diverse than the unburned area. Seedlings of tree or shrub species will hard to appear and survive in a dense Sasa community. Therefore, establishment of secondary forests may be delayed at the burned area of the forest fire.
