: For the purpose of analyzing the relation between urban green-spaces and thermal environments, the data of a past graduation thesis performed at the “ Grand-Mall ” in the Minatomirai-21 area of Yokohama City were reviewed. Various thermal indicators and/or effect-indices, both of which would be concerned with the local heat environment, were newly quantified in this report. And streets and parks in the Grand-Mall were distinguished into six vegetation-landscape types as the principal unit with the revision of the previous classification. These units were divided into five main groups by combination of 11 landscape-zones in accordance with the significant correlations proved by means of the statistical analyses using various thermal data obtained in this study. Based on those results, authors have considered about the differences of the thermal effects that were caused by the qualitative and quantitative variations of constituent elements in each landscape-zone group. Moreover, some of creation methods of the sustainable urban green-spaces using the tree species which are suitable for the habitat there and can expect the improvement of the local heat environment were proposed.

: We applied select herbicides, chlorate and glyphosate, upon invasive bamboo forests and then monitored the herbicidal residue present within the fallen leaves, fine roots, soil, and stream water of the forests in question. In addition, we examined the effects of herbicides on seed germination and the understory vegetation within the bamboo forests studied. The herbicide chlorate nearly degraded completely within a one month period within the soil, whereas the herbicide glyphosate was slightly detected at low levels within the bamboo forest leaf fall, fine roots, and the soil. Simultaneously, none of the two applied herbicides were detected within nearby stream water during the assessment period. The possibility of herbicidal outflow from the application area is considered to be low. Among three tree species which are widespread within clearcutting sites, or the understory of bamboo forests, the germination rate of Zanthoxylum ailanthoides significantly decreased following the application of the herbicide chlorate. Furthermore, the understory vegetation within the bamboo forest was additionally surveyed in order to assess the effects of glyphosate application upon the vegetation. Following the application, vegetation coverage increased rapidly, reaching nearly double the amount of prior coverage before application across number of species, which included pioneer trees and herbs. It is assumed that glyphosate application caused effects akin to clearcutting via killing bamboos, since similar vegetation dynamics were reported within clearcutting sites. Taking all factors into account, the negative environmental impact of the select herbicides applied to bamboo forests should be limited in scope.

The Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis Linnaeus 1758), a rare raptor, is listed as an near threatened (NT) species on the red lists by the Ministry of Environment of Japan. Many guidelines about how to manage the forest have been suggested for habitat conservation of the Northern Goshawk, and suggested that active forest management is required to maintain appropriate habitat conditions for extended periods. However, there are few cases of actual active management in Japan. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the active forest management implemented in “The Forest of Accipiter gentilis, Daisen, Tottori Prefecture” by comparing the forest structure and avifauna before and after forest management and to suggest an appropriate management plan. A management plan (Management of pine tree density, improvement by cutting of broad-leaved trees that reached the sub-tall tree layer) was suggested based on the first survey by the Tottori Chapter of the Wild Bird Society of Japan and Tottori University in 2003, and this suggestion was implemented by Tottori Prefecture for the five ensuing years. A second survey, conducted after the management, revealed that pine trees with a large diameter at breast height (DBH) and open spaces between the canopy and understory foliage for flying were preferred as nest areas by the Northern Goshawk. In addition, there was a good foraging range around the case study area. The mosaic of farmland and forest of the Satoyama range was utilized by the Northern Goshawk for foraging. Forest management that includes (1) promoting growth of large diameter trees for nesting and (2) securing flight space in the forest was made clear appropriate for both the conservation of Northern Goshawk habitat and timber cultivation.
