Detection of impacts of climate change on terrestrial ecosystem using ecological modeling and monitoring.

本研究提出了利用生态模拟和监测来检测气候变化对陆地生态系统影响的方法。Mt.Mt.北海道南部的Apoi被选为高危地区，是通过使用陆地生态系统模型比较气候变化和当前气候条件下预测的自然植被分布而确定的。遥感数据(Landsat TM5)的图像分析在估算山地植被面积空间分布中的应用APOI建议在1985-2000年间扩大木本植物面积。

This study proposed methods for detecting impacts of climate change on terrestrial ecosystem using ecological modeling and monitoring. Mt. Apoi in the southern Hokkaido was selected as high-risk area by comparison of projected natural vegetation distributions between under climate change and present climate conditions using the terrestrial ecosystem model. Image analyses of remotely sensed data (Landsat TM5) for estimation of spatial distribution of vegetated area in Mt. Apoi suggested the expansion of woody plants area between 1985 and 2000.
