Analyses of distribution and characteristics of the cherry blossoms in the west part of Tottori Prefecture using the spherical SOM method(II)

Abstract

In order to examine the growth status of cherry blossom in the western part of Tottori Prefecture, we investigated the causes (their attributes, components) that hinder the growth of cherry trees for each tree species. Furthermore, their numerical data were analyzed by using the significance analysis of the SOM method. And the growth status of each cherry blossom spot was examined.
