Description

To clarify the relationship between the distribution of vascular plants on the forest floor and topographical factors such as slope aspect and inclination, a survey was conducted in the Ashoro Research Forest (ARF) of the Kyushu University, located in eastern Hokkaido. Nine watersheds in ARF which has north and south facing slope were chosen, and 5 plots (2 m x 4 m) were randomly set at three topographic locations (ridge, mid-slope, and valley floor) to record vascular plant composition of forest floor in natural broadleaved forests. In addition, plot location, slope aspect, slope inclination, and elevation were recorded as topographic factors. As a result, a total of 343 vascular plant species (excluding unidentifiable species) were identified in 270 plots and surroundings at 54 locations. Here we report on the species composition of the plot surveys.
