The vegetation-landscape units (type and subtype) distinguished by a table manipulation for the urban green-spaces classification were divided into four main groups by a correspondence analysis. The landscape elements which would characterize each main group were identified by an independence test and a residual analysis. Based on those statistical analyses, we have evaluated about the positive psychological effect by which the urban green-spaces bring people “comfort” and “relief” which are a part of the cultural services.

Sixteen survey sites with differing topography and types of forest vegetation were set around Mt. Takadate. We counted the number of individual adult fireflies at each survey site between June and July 2018. The relationship between the number of adult individuals and topographic position index (TPI), an indicator of topography, and the forest vegetation types (broad-leaved forest, pine forest, or cedar forest), was analyzed by the generalized linear mixed model (GLMM). In addition, the amount of food resources (land snails and soil animals) considered important during the larval stage was surveyed in October 2018, and the survey of soil water content was conducted in June and October 2018. The relationships between food resources and soil water content and environmental conditions (i.e. TPI and forest vegetation types) were analyzed by the generalized linear model or GLMM, respectively. The result of the model revealed that TPI is related to the number of adult individuals, and that the population tends to be larger near the valley. Moreover, it was shown that the valley tends to have a large number of land snails and a high soil water content. It is therefore suggested that the environment with a large number of individual adult fireflies was a suitable habitat for the larvae of fireflies. This may be related to the poor ability of adult females and larvae to migrate.","PeriodicalId":176820,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Ecology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122733789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Considering a practical scenario for mainstreaming rain gardens in Japan","authors":"K. Ishimatsu","doi":"10.5738/JALE.25.33","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5738/JALE.25.33","url":null,"abstract":": As a consequence of increased urbanisation, floods threaten inhabitants of various cities in Japan. Although a conventional way of treating urban flooding is to construct sewage systems, alternative approaches have to be developed because of their expense in the context of the current financial crisis. Rain gardens have recently been recommended as a best management practice for the treatment of stormwater runoff in Northern European countries, the USA, etc. While demand for rain gardens has been increasing in Japan, there is a lack of knowledge about policy planning for the development of rain gardens. This present study aims to 1) visualise a possibility for the development of rain gardens as a map and evaluate its effect in terms of storm water management in most urbanised area “ Delta Zone ” in Hiroshima-City, Japan, 2) discuss a method for policy planning for mainstreaming rain gardens as a kind of green infrastructure. By use of GIS technology, the areas under the conditions (elevation < 5.0 m, slope angle < 1.1 degrees and GWL < -2.0 m) were selected as potential areas for rain garden installation. Next, 1) green spaces, 2) sandy spaces, 3) car parks on the potential areas were identified because those spaces are easier to install rain gardens than building and road areas. As s result, it was indicated that “ Delta Zone ” could obtain a rainwater infiltration function to treat 20 mm/h stormwater event if only 10 % of those spaces turn into rain gardens. In addition, a practical scenario to mainstream rain gardens in Japan was discussed.","PeriodicalId":176820,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Ecology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130147980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aboveground biomass increment of the moso bamboo stand, an index of bamboo growth, was consistently negative throughout the study period, presumably due to limitations on the production of new bamboo shoots. Using camera traps, I frequently observed damages to moso bamboo shoots by wild boar Sus scrofa and sika deer Cervus nippon between March and May, which led to growth failure for new bamboo shoot production. This report highlights the possibility that wild animal activity may inhibit moso bamboo growth in naturalized moso bamboo stands in Japan.","PeriodicalId":176820,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Ecology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130199769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
