Toshiyuki Takano, Professor

The Biomaterials Chemistry Lab studies the chemistry of materials made by living organisms, such as wood components and chitin and chitosan. Moving between the material, fiber, nano, and molecular levels, the lab investigates cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Its work ranges from fundamental research on complex structures to research that leads to new functional materials and to solutions for the problems of existing materials.

The Forest and Human Relations Lab covers forest loss and conservation, sustainable forest management, trends in forestry and the wood industry, forests in relation to tourism and culture, and forest certification systems. The lab studies forest economics, forest policy, international trade and distribution of forest products, and regional development. Undergraduates are assigned to the lab in their fourth year (the graduate program is the Division of Forest and Biomaterials Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).
Hiroko Kurokawa, Professor

The Tropical Forest Environment lab conducts a wide range of research centered on the physiological ecology of tropical plants, the biodiversity of tropical forests, and the restoration of ecosystem services. Every year, many students carry out fieldwork in Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Panama, Madagascar, and various parts of Japan. Undergraduates are assigned to the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).
Masako Dannoura, Associate Professor

The Forest Utilization lab studies the carbon cycle and biomass production of forests, as well as gas exchange between trees and the atmosphere. Through field measurements and data analysis, it investigates how much carbon and methane forest trees and soils store and how much they release. Led by students, the lab also runs the Bamboo Chopsticks Project, which places bamboo chopsticks in campus cafeterias to raise awareness of the problem of abandoned bamboo forests. Undergraduates are assigned to the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Forest Biology lab analyzes the ecology of diverse forest organisms, including trees, animals, and insects, mainly from a plant perspective. Its work has two sides: basic science that clarifies how organisms in forests interact, and applied science that supports wildlife management and forest conservation. Using ecological and genetic methods, it studies plant reproduction, animal diet and behavior, and insect behavior. Undergraduates are assigned to the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Environmental Design Lab studies the theory and techniques for protecting and creating green landscapes, and proposes plans for green spaces and spatial designs. Its subjects are not limited to gardens and parks. They include cities, satoyama, natural parks, and places overseas, and the habitats of living things and the connections between them are an important theme. The lab conducts education and research in cooperation with the Landscape Ecology and Conservation lab of the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies. Undergraduates join the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Mountain Conservation Lab aims to clarify how sediment and water move in the mountains, and to help build a safer and more comfortable society. Mountains cover 70% of Japan's land area, and debris flows and slope failures occur almost every year. The "green dam" function of forests has also still not been scientifically demonstrated. The lab combines field observation, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulation in its research. Undergraduates join the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Forest Ecology Lab studies forest ecosystems formed by trees, animals, and microorganisms from perspectives such as biodiversity, material cycling, and resource conservation. It works on forest dynamics, the mechanisms by which biodiversity arises and is maintained, and the sustainable use and conservation of forests suited to each region. The lab uses a wide range of methods, including measurement with drones and terrestrial LiDAR, environmental DNA analysis, and statistical models of long-term monitoring data. Undergraduates join the lab in their fourth year (graduate students belong to the Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Forest Hydrology Lab scientifically investigates the many functions of forests, including the "green dam" effect, mitigation of global warming, purification of air and water, and moderation of climate. Many forest functions are carried out as water and carbon circulate through the forest. To understand the conditions under which these functions continue and where their limits lie, the lab studies how water and carbon circulate through forests, using observations at experimental sites in Japan and abroad. Undergraduate students join the lab in their fourth year (graduate school: Division of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture).

The Biosphere Informatics Lab is part of the Social Informatics Course of the Graduate School of Informatics, and consists of two fields: Biological Resource Informatics and Biological Environment Informatics. The Biological Environment Informatics field conducts research on collecting and making use of environmental information, in order to understand the phenomena that occur mainly in terrestrial ecosystems, their mechanisms, and their relationship with human society. Research in the Biological Resource Informatics field is introduced on that field's page. Undergraduate students join the lab in their fourth year and can belong to it from the Department of Forest Science or the Department of Bioresource Science. In graduate school, each field accepts students through the Social Informatics Course of the Graduate School of Informatics.
