What's new Up-to-date information


Research * The keyword is "Disturbance"? *

Research summary
Major interests are to understand how determinants on plant community structures change with space and time. To understand these, I have surveyed plant communities in disturbed areas, including volcanoes, wetlands, forests after wildfire,mining sites, skislopes, etc.
