Distribution of Physiognomical Forest Types in Urban Fringe in Southen Ibaraki Pref.

Abstract

This study discuss about the distribution of forests in urban fringe in Southen Ibaraki Pref 11 forest types were divided by thier physiognomy.
Rate of forest types, which have species composition looking like natural forest and distribute in steep slopes or by the rural residence, are similar to each area. Rate of forest types, which are secondary and plain forest, example Pinus forest, are different because of urbanization, succession and damage of Pinus forest by insects. These result were grasped from analyses about relation of each forest type's distribution and inclination, distance from residentinal area, urbanizaision.
