The lab studies how much carbon dioxide forests absorb and store.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring forest carbon storage and cycling
Professor Kentaro Takagi studies how much carbon dioxide forests absorb and store.
The lab also investigates how these amounts vary across climate zones and forest growth stages, and how climate change and human-caused disturbance affect them.
Recently, working with many collaborators, the lab has been conducting studies of forests across Asia, throughout Japan, and of entire research forests.
The research forests have large-scale facilities for measuring forest carbon cycling, as well as a rich information infrastructure.
Key terms
- Carbon cycle
- The flow of carbon as atmospheric carbon dioxide is taken up by plants and then moves among trees, soil, living organisms, and the atmosphere
- Anthropogenic disturbance
- A major change in the condition of a forest caused by human activities such as logging
- Forest meteorology
- The field that studies the exchange of heat, water, carbon dioxide, and other substances between forests and the atmosphere through measurement
ResearchResearch themes
From the perspective of forest meteorology, the lab studies carbon storage and cycling in forests. Using observation facilities in Hokkaido University's research forests, it also covers forests across wide regions together with collaborators.
