@article{Tetsuo Okano_Teruo Arase_2021, title={VEGETATION RECOVERY PROCESS ON LANDSLIDE STEEP SLOPE AFTER Alnus sieboldiana AND Miscanthus condensatus PLANTING WITH SIMPLE TERRACING WORK IN MIKURA-JIMA ISLAND, JAPAN}, volume={10}, url={https://geomatejournal.com/geomate/article/view/2047}, abstractNote={<p>Typhoon 9512 hit the island of Mikura-jima in 1995, causing many landslides and destruction of<br>forest vegetation. For long-term observation of vegetation change, a research plot was established on a landslide<br>slope in 2003. A simple terrace was built on this slope, which was planted with native species (Alnus sieboldiana<br>and Miscanthus condensatus) in 2000 to accelerate vegetation recovery. From 2003 to 2012, a vegetation survey<br>of the plot was conducted to elucidate the vegetation recovery process at an early stage. A. sieboldiana grew<br>steadily and its density of individuals decreased. The number of species gradually increased due to invasion of<br>new seedlings from adjacent forests, i.e. Castanopsis cuspidata, Persea thunbergii. We found some differences in<br>vegetation recovery from another research site, which is a landslide slope seeded with exotic pasture grasses by<br>helicopter in 2002. Seeding of exotic pasture gasses prevented the establishment of trees and reduces successional<br>velocity.</p>}, number={21}, journal={GEOMATE Journal}, author={Tetsuo Okano and Teruo Arase}, year={2021}, month={Nov.}, pages={1884–1890} }
