AboutAbout the lab
Forests in Kyushu and Hokkaido, serving as grounds for research and education
The Experimental Forests attached to the Faculty of Agriculture are facilities that carry out a wide range of research and education in three forests located in Fukuoka, Miyazaki, and Hokkaido.
The Hokkaido Forest is described as a northern hilly forest, the Fukuoka Forest as a peri-urban forest, and the Miyazaki Forest as a remote mountain forest.
The faculty members of the Experimental Forests provide graduate education in the Forest Environmental Science Education Course of the Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences.
There are two labs, the Forest Production Control Lab and the Watershed Environment Control Lab. Graduate students are based at the Fukuoka Forest and also stay at the Miyazaki and Hokkaido forests for long or short periods to conduct research.
Key terms
- Experimental Forests
- Forests managed by the university as places where students do field training and where forest research is carried out
- Forest Production Control Lab
- A lab that studies the structure and function of forests at various scales, such as individual trees and stands, and applies the findings to resource use and restoration
- Watershed Environment Control Lab
- A lab that studies watershed environments, including water, heat, and material cycles, and applies the findings to the creation, use, and conservation of green space
ResearchResearch themes
Making use of the Experimental Forests attached to the Faculty of Agriculture, the labs carry out education and research on elucidating and applying the environmental functions of forests and green spaces, creating forest production control technologies that support ecosystem conservation, and utilizing forest resources. There are two labs: the Forest Production Control Lab and the Watershed Environment Control Lab.
*Illustrative imageForest Structure and Function, and Resource Use
Researchers analyze the structure and function of forests at various scales, including individual trees, stands, and landscapes. They also evaluate diverse forest resources, develop new techniques for resource production and use, and work on forest restoration.
*Illustrative imageWatershed Environment and Green Space
Researchers conduct basic research needed to control watershed environments, such as water, heat, and material cycles (forest environmental science). They also conduct applied research on the creation, use, and conservation of green space (green space environmental science).
