Estimating characteristics of planted forests’ relative yield index using low pulse density LiDAR and satellite remote sensing Open
The increased demand for forest management, particularly thinning, in Japan is a direct consequence of aging planted forests. However, forest inventories (FI) in Japan lack crucial details regarding the developmental stage or ecological st…

A forest floor evapotranspiration model incorporating forest structure for estimating under-canopy climate conditions in conifer plantations Open
This study focuses on forest floor evapotranspiration (Ef), a critical part of the water cycle involving the atmosphere, vegetation, and soil. It specifically involves transpiration from understory vegetation and evaporation from soil surf…

Estimation of Solar Radiation in Forests Using Drone LiDAR Data in Japanese Artificial Forests Open
Many Japanese cypress plantation forests have been degraded due to inadequate forest management, resulting in low solar radiation on the forest floor. In recent years to increase forest floor radiation, however, assessment methods for the …

Estimation of rainfall interception from merged drone and terrestrial LiDAR data by modeling 3D canopy structure in plantation forest Open
The multidimensional arrangement of upper canopy features is a physical driver of energy and water balance under various canopies, and standard modeling approaches integrate leaf area index (LAI) and canopy closure (CC) to describe canopie…

Estimation of fine sediment transport processes by forest management using Pb-210ex, Cs-137 and Cs-134 Open
<p>While thinning practices are essential for forest maintenance and management, it has been suggested that the amount of sediment discharge from forests to rivers increases with the practices.&#160; In Karasawayama, Tochigi Pref…

Evaluating changes in catchment-scale evapotranspiration after 50% thinning in a headwater catchment Open
We examined changes in catchment-scale annual and seasonal evapotranspiration after 50% strip thinning, using runoff data from headwater catchments. The short-term water balance (STWB) method between periods from 8 to 100 days was applied …

Stream Temperature Response to 50% Strip-Thinning in a Temperate Forested Headwater Catchment Open
Stream temperature is a critical parameter for understanding hydrological and biological processes in stream ecosystems. Although a large body of research has addressed the effects of forest harvesting on stream temperature, less is known …

View article: Stream temperature response to 50% strip-thinning in a temperate forested headwater catchment
Stream temperature response to 50% strip-thinning in a temperate forested headwater catchment Open
We examined stream temperature response to 50% strip-thinning of a 20- to 50-year-old Japanese cedar and cypress plantation in a 17-ha headwater catchment. The thinning lines extended through the riparian zone. Paired-catchment analysis wa…

Stable isotope-based approach to validate effects of stand structure and understory on soil water in a Japanese forest plantation Open
<p>&#160;Many researchers have studied the effects of plantation thinning on forest environments, including plantation thinning-induced changes in soil water, which recharges ground water. However, most of these studies have samp…

Evaluating of the effect of thinning on suspended sediment runoff in a cypress and cedar plantation forest using Fukushima-derived Cs-137, Cs-134 and Pb-210ex Open
<p>Skid trail and heavy machinery for forest practice becoming more common for effective forest practices, but these causes soil disturbance in the forest, leading to a sudden increase in the amount of suspended sediment during and p…

View article: Contribution of lianas to community‐level canopy transpiration in a warm‐temperate forest
Contribution of lianas to community‐level canopy transpiration in a warm‐temperate forest Open
Summary Lianas (woody climbers) have a greater amount of leaves relative to basal area or standing biomass than trees, and very wide vessels that permit efficient water transport. These features suggest that lianas possibly consume proport…
