Forest patterns along topographical gradients were compared between second- and old-growth forested watersheds in a warm-temperate zone of Mt Kiyosumi, central Japan. Three community types were distinguished depending on the topographical habitat type in each watershed, for example, conifer forest was dominated byAbies firmaandTsuga sieboldiion ridge sites, evergreen broad-leaved forest was dominated byQuercus acuta, Q. salicinaandCastanopsis cuspidatavar.sieboldiion slope sites, and deciduous forest was dominated byEuptelea polyandraandCornus controversain valley sites. Beta diversity and distinctiveness of each topographical community type increased with progression of secondary succession. Conifers and evergreen broad-leaved trees, which were intermingled with each other on ridges and slopes of the second-growth watershed, were in turn restricted to the ridge and slope habitat type, respectively, in the old-growth watershed. The process of this differentiation can be explained by the continuous regeneration of conifers on ridge sites, and its absence on slope sites due to different light conditions caused by progressive canopy closure of evergreen trees on the slope sites toward the old-growth watershed. In the valley type habitat, frequent soil disturbance, such as landslides and soil creep, hinder the continuous growth of late successional evergreen trees, and thus seral or pioneer deciduous trees can persist in the habitat.
