Species sampled

Species Family Pft
Pinus thunbergii Pinaceae evergreen gymnosperm

Methods used

Sampling strategy: Harvest in Arai Experimental station was conducted in November 1969 at 5 Pinus thunbergii plantation plots (Kabaya 1981). Two plots were fertilized (F1 and F2) in 1967 with ammonium sulfate (250 kg/ha as N amount) and saw dust compost and in 1968, 1969, 1970 by ammonium sulfate (50 kg/ha as N amount). Two plots were control (C1 and C2). Litter was removed from one plot (R1) four times a year since 1967. All plots were 33-34 years old in 1967. Harvest in Futtsu sea coast was conducted in December 1968 at one fertilized (NKP) and one control (C2) plots. Both plots were planted with P. thunbergii in 1952 and 18 years old in 1966. Fertilized plot (NKP) was fertilized with ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, and potassium chloride (1 kg/a as N, 1.2kg/a as P2O5, and 3 kg/a as K) in 1966. Additionally, this plot was fertilized with ammonium phosphate (1 kg/a as N) in 1967 and 1968. Harvest in a 33 year-old P. thunbergii plantation plot in Tanashi Experimental Field was conducted in October 1968. Harvest in a 22-23 year-old plot in a naturally regenerated P. thunbergii stand of Chiba Forest of Tokyo University was conducted in November 1968. The plot was facing southwest with a slope of 35-36 degrees. Two to five sample trees were felled from each plot. Sample trees were then treated with the stratified clip technique by cutting them into parts contained in horizontal layers of 2 m depth. Roots in a 1-m radius from the stump of a sampled tree were excavated.

Height: Methods not reported in Kabaya (1981).

Biomass: Fresh weight of stem, branches, and needles in each layer were measured. Branches and needles were further separated based on their ages (current-year, one year, second year, and others). Subsamples of each organ were taken and oven-dried at 80 degrees C (Kabaya 1981). The dry-to-fresh weight ratios of these subsamples were used to calculate total dry weight of each tree component.

Other variables: M.I. Ishihara, H. Utsugi, H. Tanouchi, and T. Hiura conducted formal search of reference databases and digitized raw data from Kabaya (1981). Based on this reference, meta data was also created by M.I. Ishihara. Species name and family names were converted by M.I. Ishihara according to the following references: Satake Y, Hara H (1989a) Wild flower of Japan Woody plants I (in Japanese). Heibonsha, Tokyo; Satake Y, Hara H (1989b) Wild flower of Japan Woody plants II (in Japanese). Heibonsha, Tokyo.

Plots of data

This is how the study Kabaya1981 fits in the entire dataset (grey). each colour represents a species. A legend of species names with colours is included at the end for reports with 1 < n < 20 species.
