Abstract
The abandonment of management for Satoyama forests. It decreases a number of plant species in their shrub and herb layers. But there are few research on the relationship between forest floor management of shrub layer and birds. We established four plots of different forest floor management and researched on the bird's appearance in these four plots. These research plots were non-mowing plot, striped-mowing plot, complete mowing plot, and yearly mowing plot. It was recognized that the difference of vegetation management did not influence arboreal-users. On the other hand, it was suggested that the existence of shrub layer will be important for shrub-users.
