全国丸太分解実験によるナラ枯れ影響評価

About PLIDE project

PLIDE (Pest and Latitudinal Influences on Decomposition Experiment) project is a long-term experiment to monitor the decomposition processes of coarse dead woods along with a wide range of latitude in Japan.

Ongoing experiments:

• Logs of Quercus serrata were installed in 7 sites across a wide range of latitude in Japan. In 4 of the 7 sites, mass mortality due to Japanese Oak Wilt disease has occurred. Logs of dead trees due to the JOW and those experimentally cut from living trees were installed in the sites. Changes in wood density, water content, chemical composition such as lignin content, microbial communities has been surveyed 3 times a year since 2017.

PLIDE (Pest and Latitudinal Influences on Decomposition Experiment)プロジェクトは 日本の幅広い緯度に沿って枯死木の分解をモニタリングするための長期実験です。

進行中の実験:

• ミズナラQuercus serrataの丸太を日本の幅広い緯度範囲の７箇所に設置しています。７箇所中４箇所ではナラ枯れが発生しており（開始当初）、ナラ枯れで枯死した丸太と伐採によって枯死した丸太の両方を設置しています。
