This study reconstructed the flora and environmental changes of the alpine and subalpine regions on the mountains of the Sea of Japan side in central Japan since the Last Glacial. The study clarified the developmental processes of the endemic vegetation of the regions treated, focusing on the fluctuations of the humid, snowy climate and review of the geographical elements of major plants. The study presented the quite new view points of the flora and vegetation on the regions that even in the Last Glacial experiencing the arid cold climate, humid elements such as Bering type co-existed with arid type plants with topographic separations.
