Abstract
We investigated vegetation and seed dispersal on a revegetation slope dominated by Alnus sieboldiana Matsum. The results indicated that the component species on the revegetation slope and in the surrounding forest were different. However, we observed that evergreen woody plants from the immediate forest had invaded the revegetation slope. Therefore, plant succession will be in progress. In particular, ornithochory accounted for the presence of 60% of the invasive plants. With respect to leaf properties, evergreen woody plants accounted for 60% of the vegetation in the surrounding forest and on the upper slope, while deciduous woody plants accounted for 60% of the vegetation on the lower slope. The number of established plants and those that grew from dispersed seeds decreased with increase in the distance from the surrounding forest.
