AboutAbout the lab
Exploring forests and green spaces from three perspectives
The Silviculture Lab studies forests in Japan and abroad, as well as green spaces and parks in urban and suburban areas, from the perspectives of ecology, physiology, and genetics and breeding.
The lab invites anyone interested in living things in general, not only forests and trees, to join.
Assistant Professor Sakuta works on forest regeneration and management, forest tree breeding, disease control, and greening, based on the physiology and ecology of trees.
Assistant Professor Tsuyama is attempting to create improved trees based on information obtained from research on photosynthesis.
Key terms
- Genetics and Breeding
- The field concerned with using the mechanisms of heredity in living organisms to create individuals and varieties with desirable traits.
- Photosynthesis
- The process by which plants use light energy to produce nutrients from carbon dioxide.
- Greening
- Planting trees and grasses to create an environment with greenery.
ResearchResearch themes
The Silviculture Lab investigates forests in Japan and abroad, as well as green spaces and parks in urban and suburban areas, from the perspectives of ecology, physiology, and genetics and breeding. Each faculty member has their own research themes, including beech forests, planted forests, green space management, and the mechanisms of photosynthesis.
*Illustrative imageCurrent Condition and Health of Beech Forests
The lab investigates the current state of beech forests in Kyushu. It examines their present condition and health in terms of stand structure, flowering and fruiting, and distribution.
*Illustrative imageProductivity of Coniferous Plantations
The lab studies the productivity of coniferous plantations such as Japanese cedar (sugi) and Japanese cypress (hinoki). Slopes and site environments are key topics in this research.
*Illustrative imageMaintenance and Management of Peri-Urban Forests
The lab studies how to maintain and manage forests and green spaces near cities. The lab as a whole also includes urban and suburban green spaces and parks among its research subjects.
*Illustrative imageRegulation of Photosynthesis and Tree Improvement
The lab investigates how photosynthesis is regulated and attempts to create improved trees based on the information obtained. Its goals include strengthening tolerance to environmental stress and enhancing photosynthetic capacity.
