Abstract

<p>Satoyama is an area forming unique landscapes, consisting of streams, paddy fields, and the forests in the back yards with people’s lives. It is not a typical landscape in Japan, but also in South East Asia. This study focused on the Satoyama-landscape in Que Phong District, North-Central Vietnam, and aimed to elucidate favorable habitats of the golden camellia: Camellia quephongensis as a component of the Satoyama-landscape. We selected two populations of this species, and conducted surveys on geological, geomorphological, and vegetational characteristics of this species’ habitat. It revealed that C. quephongensis inhabited secondary or riparian forests on the steep and south-facing slopes in the low altitude less than 300 m, and canopies were closed with openness less than 35 %. The study area contains two forest types in the variable of height: tall one and middle one, and the former possibly provide the habitat for this species and latter could be a potential habitat. Based on this speculation, total management of the regional landscape is vital to consider even for species conservation.</p>
