小川森林保护区（OFR）位于日本中部太平洋沿岸从福岛县到茨城县的阿武熊山脉南部的准平原（海拔约610-660米）上。该地区具有日本太平洋沿岸的典型气候，其特征是寒冷，干燥的冬季，降雪量很少（见第2章;铃木1952），落叶阔叶林自然发展，主要由水青冈属和栎属物种组成（Hukushima et al. 1995）。该地区位于山区的下部，以及暖温带和冷温带气候带之间的过渡带（铃木1952年; Kashimura 1968年; cf.第7章表7.3）。此外，在过去，这一地区的森林至少在过去500年里一直受到人类活动的影响，如焚烧、放牧和砍伐薪材（见第7章）。结果，几乎所有的天然森林植被都变成了次生林或针叶林（茨木县森林实验站，1980年）。
Ogawa Forest Reserve (OFR) is located on a quasiplain (about 610–660 m above sea level) in the southern part of the Abukuma Mountains, which run from Fukushima Prefecture to Ibaraki Prefecture along the Pacific Coast of central Japan. This area has the typical climate of the Pacific Coast of Japan, which is characterized by cold, dry winters with little snowfall (see Chapter 2; Suzuki 1952), and deciduous broad-leaved forests which have developed naturally and which are mainly composed of Fagus and Quercus species (Hukushima et al. 1995). The area is located in the lower part of the montane zone, as well as in the transition zone between the warm temperate and cool temperate climate zones (Suzuki 1952; Kashimura 1968; cf. Table 7.3 in Chapter 7). Moreover, in the past, the forests in this area have been subjected to human activities such as buming, cattle grazing, and clear-cutting for fuelwood for at least the last 500 years (see Chapter 7). As a result, almost all the natural forest vegetation has now changed into secondary forest or coniferous plantations (Ibaraki Prefectural Forest Experiment Station 1980).
