Abstract
The aim of this study is to indicate the relationships between the management history and vegetation types of fallow paddy field and abandoned paddy fields in low land regions as basic information for the agricultural land resource maintenance. All sampled stands were classified into 9 vegetation types by cluster analysis and INSPAN (Indicator Species Analysis). Divisions of natural structure were related to some vegetation types, and then we executed the hearing investigation of the management history to the owner of vegetation types with a not clear relation to divisions of natural structure, and management history determining each vegetation type were detected positively by using multiple regression analysis. These results support the conclusion that vegetation types is produced from management history.
