森林生態系における土壌有機炭素の循環の季節変動に関するシミュレーションモデル

抄録

A simulation model of the seasonal variation of cycling of soil organic carbon was proposed, based on the data observed in a beech/fir forest on Mt. Odaigahara in central Japan. Essential phenomena of cycling of soil organic matter dependent on soil surface temperature were selected and formulated into a mathematical model. The results of the simulation proved to fit closely the data obtained in the beech/fir forest. This simulation model, therefore, was applied to an evergreen oak forest and a tropical rain forest. This model may be applicable to any type of moist type forest.
