Theory application of ecosystem management

Nakamura主要将生态系统管理战略应用于Shibetsu河的一个溪流恢复项目。他开发了评估生态系统结构和功能的评估方法，并进一步构建了恢复退化的河流生态系统的框架，包括实地调查和研究规划方法。菊内研究了柳树为主的河岸森林在水生生态系统养护中的作用，并确定了在频繁的洪水干扰条件下，它们的苗木策略的好处。他还研究了溪流的物理环境与水生植物豆瓣菜生长之间的关系。金子构建了两个基于地理信息系统(GIS)的数据库，以支持生态系统管理，具体是“开发有助于生态系统保护和恢复的自然环境数据库”和“利用地理信息系统和互联网进行生态系统保护和管理”。Owari利用多媒体技术(视频和音频)和信息技术(全球定位系统和地理信息系统)建立了显式知识数据库，将林农的经验知识形式化。池上运用景观方法评估了公路建设对区域环境的影响，选择了北海道北部的33个社区，并在他的地理信息系统分析中描述了奥托伊内普和中川镇的社会和自然条件。他还建立了一种使用遥感相机进行野生动物调查的野外方法。Kakizawa研究了能够在社区发展中发挥领导作用的行政结构，并调查了私人林地所有者对社区发展的看法。山本假设，森林和其他土地之间的边界已经根据对土地不断变化的社会和经济需求而不断变化。他调查了北海道的一个例子，并描述了农业和林业之间土地利用活动转移的机制。

Nakamura applied ecosystem management strategies primarily to a stream restoration project in the Shibetsu River. He developed assessment methodology that evaluates ecosystem structure and functions and further constructed a framework for restoring degraded river ecosystems including field survey and research planning methods. Kikuchi examined the roles of willow-dominant riparian forests in aquatic ecosystem conservation and identified the benefits of their seedling strategies under frequent flood disturbance regime. He also studied the relationship between physical environment of a stream and growth of an aquatic plant species, watercress. Kaneko constructed two geographic information system (GIS)-based database that support ecosystem management, which specifically are "Development of natural environment database assisting ecosystem conservation and restoration" and "Ecosystem conservation and management using GIS and the Internet". Owari constructed explicit knowledge database, which formalizes foresters' empirical knowledge, by using multimedia technologies (video and audio) and information technologies (Global positioning system and GIS). Ikegami applied landscape approaches to assess effects of highway construction on regional environment selecting 33 communities in northern Hokkaido and characterized the social and natural conditions of Otoineppu and Nakagawa towns in his GIS analyses. He also established a field method for wildlife survey using remotely sensed cameras. Kakizawa examined administrative structures that can take leadership in community development and surveyed perception of community development among private forest landowners. Yamamoto hypothesized that borders between forest and other landuses have continuously been shifted in accordance with fluctuating social and economic needs for the lands. He investigated an example in Hokkaido and described the mechanism of shifting landuse activities between agriculture and silviculture.
