Conservation biology of fauna and flora in the montane-alpine zone, Central Honshu, Japan

从保护生物学的角度对日本北阿尔卑斯国家公园典型山地和高山生物群和生态系统进行了研究。1.结合气温等气象因子的变化，研究了6 ~ 8月融雪后高山植物的植被演替和物候。不仅在自然条件下的高山生态系统，而且各种人为干扰对高山生物区系的影响进行了严格的调查。研究了高山多年生草本植物的越冬期和高山矮松（Pinuspumila）的物候和生理生态与环境变化的关系。2.在立山海拔900- 1,400 m的山地，研究了日本山毛榉（Faguscrenata）和七叶树（Aesculusturbinata）的更新过程和生理生态。在连续17年的固定样地中，对日本山毛榉树的活力和空气污染的生理效应进行了监测研究，其中包括两年的研究期（1993和1994）. 3.各种哺乳动物的行为和生活史，如日本serow（Capricornis crispus）、日本猴（Macaca fuscata）和其他几种小型哺乳动物物种在山地和高山地区进行了研究。对高山松鸡（Lagopus mutus）的生活习性和生活史参数进行了研究。

The representative montane as well as alpine biota and ecosystems were studied from the standpoints of conservation biology.1.Vegetational succession and phenology of alpine plants after snowmelt during June to August were studied in connection with the changes in temperature and other meteorological factors in the Japan North Alps National Park. Not only alpine ecosystems under natural conditions but also effects of various human disturbances to alpine biota were critically surveyed. Wintering froms of alpine perennial herbs and shoot phenology and eco-physiology of alpine dwart pine (Pinus pumila) in relation to changes in environmental regimes were studied.2.Regeneration process and eco-physiology of Japanese beech (Fagus crenata) and horse chestnut (Aesculus turbinata) were studied in the montane zone, 900-1,400m above sea level, on Tateyama. The results of monitoring as to the vigor of Japanese beech trees, and physiological effects due to air pollution have been studied in the permanent plots for last 17 years, including the two years'study period (1993 and 1994).3.Behaviors and life histories of various mammals, such as Japanese serow (Capricornis crispus), Japanese monkey (Macaca fuscata), and several other small mammal species were studied in montane as well as alpine zones. Bahaviors and life history parameters have been critically studied on alpine ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus).
