Description

To compare the performance of synthetic fiber nets and electric fences as wildlife prevention fences, we planted seedlings of Pieris japonica, Chamaecyparis obtusa and Quercus crispula in the 5 cm mesh net, 10 cm mesh net, electric fences, and control plots. Seedlings height and survival rate were recorded from 2015 to 2020. We also recorded the flora of these experimental plots in 2016 and 2021 to compare the changes of forest floor vegetation in the plots. Pieris japonica grew well in the control plot and most of the individuals survived. Tree height of Chamaecyparis obtusa was highest in the electric fence, and the survival rate was over 90 % in the 5 cm mesh net. The average height of Quercus crispula was only 87 cm and the survival rate were only 33 % due to shade by herbaceous plants. A total of 52 herbaceous species and tree seedlings in the forest floor were observed in 2016, and this number increased to 81 in 2021. In addition, seedlings of Pinus densiflora, Quercus crispula, Hydrangea paniculata and other pioneer species became established, suggesting that enclosing the floor of forest gap with fences may lead to the regional compensatory vegetation.
