A beech-dominated forest of the Kawakami Forest Station, University of Tsukuba, in Nagano Prefecture was found in the inner area of central Japan. Stand structure and dynamics were examined to analyze the mechanism of stand development in this forest. A research plot (0.25 ha) was set on the gentle ridge of the Kawakami Forest, and DBH and height were measured. Tree age was measured using core samples from near the plot. A tree census was carried out every two years from 2008 to 2016. Beech was dominant, with 57.9% of the total basal area. DBH and height also showed the dominance of beech and intermittent regeneration. These results suggested that beeches of this stand were regenerated all at once after some disturbances, and the stand developed stably throughout after those past events.}, pages = {23--26}, title = {Stand structure and regeneration of a beech-dominated forest in the Kawakami Forest, Mountain Science Center, University of Tsukuba, central Japan}, volume = {66}, year = {2018} }
