Abstract

<p>In order to understand changes in the use of bamboo forests by wild boar, the count of the bamboo shoot feeding marks by wild boars, the position of culm, diameter of culm and a stand age-structure survey were conducted in Awaji Island from 2017 to 2018. Edible bamboo shoots appear on the ground in spring, but we found that wild boar has dug the soil and eaten bamboo shoots before the end of October. In November the number of eaten bamboo shoots accounted 0.1 to 0.7/100m2/day. The total number of the eaten bamboo shoots reached 10 to 15 /100m2 during this month and this value was almost equal to the number of current-year culm appeared in the next spring. It is considered that wild boars severely affected to the regeneration of bamboo forest.</p>
