绳文时代中后期（约4800-2100bp），日本中部关东平原中部盛行落叶林。它们包括落叶阔叶树，如桤木、栎树、木栗树、七叶树、槭树和白蜡树，以及一些针叶树，如柞树和头杉树。使用新石器时代石器的史前人类在这个早期就已经开始选择树木作为他们的使用工具，并且更喜欢用castanea作为木材和木桩。在古fun时期（公元4 - 6世纪）或古dai时期（公元7 - 12世纪），落叶森林继续盛行，但它们主要由次生林元素组成，如celtis， Quercus， castaneaan和morus。使用铁制工具的人更喜欢栎树。用作木桩或木板，针叶树被用作木材。至于锄头或铲子，则选择落叶栎树和常绿栎树。因此，早在绳纹时代，人们就已经知道了每种植物的特性，并选择了它们作为自己的使用对象，而在铁制工具出现后，人们的偏好发生了巨大的变化。
Deciduous forests prevailed in the middle of the Kanto Plain, central Japan, from the Middle to Late Jomon Period, i.e.c.4800-2100bp. They consisted of deciduous broadleaved trees, such asAlnus, Quercus, Castanea, Aesculus, AcerandFraxinuswith some conifers, such asTorreyaandCephalotaxus. Prehistoric people utilizing Neolithic stone tools were already selecting trees for their use by this early period, and preferredCastaneafor timber and stakes. In the Kofun Period (4th–6th centuriesad) or in the Kodai (7th–12th centuriesad), deciduous forests continued to prevail, but they were mainly composed of elements of secondary forests, such asCeltis, Quercus, CastaneaandMorus. Men with iron tools preferredQuercussect.AegilopstoCastaneafor stakes or boards, and conifers came to be used as timber. As for hoes or shovels, deciduousQuercuswere selected along with evergreenQuercus. Thus, people knew the property of each species and selected them for their use as early as the Jomon Period, and their preference changed drastically after the introduction of iron tools.
