Research on forest management methods that balance timber use with forest conservation.

AboutAbout the lab
Forestry that balances use and conservation
Professor Toshiya Yoshida studies forest management practices designed with ecosystem conservation in mind.
Making use of timber resources is important for a sustainable society, but forest management practices such as logging are sometimes regarded as degrading forest ecosystems.
The lab analyzes the structure, succession, and diversity of forests where management has been carried out, aiming to identify management methods that are compatible with ecosystem conservation.
The research forest has forests with a variety of histories, along with technical staff who put forest management into practice.
Key terms
- Forest management practices

ResearchResearch themes
From the perspectives of silviculture and regional resource management, the lab aims to balance the use of timber resources with the conservation of forest ecosystems. Based in a Hokkaido University research forest, it conducts research and education on resource management.
