The Effect of Weeding Schedules on Weed Quantity and Operation Time of Improvement Cutting in 13 Year-old Sugi (<i>Cryptomeria japonica</i>) Stand in Kagoshima Prefecture, Southwestern Japan

Abstract: 下刈りスケジュールの異なる 13 年生スギ林分を対象に,下刈りスケジュールの違いが雑木量や除伐作業時間に与える影響を 明らかにした。また,下刈りと除伐の合計作業時間,スギと雑木の競合状態を下刈りスケジュール別に明らかにした。雑木の 幹密度は下刈り回数に,断面積合計と平均樹高は最終下刈り実施からの経過年数に影響を受けていた。除伐作業時間は毎年下 刈り区(6 年間実施)で最も短く(11.9~12.6 h/ha) ,植栽後 1,2,3 年目実施区で毎年下刈り区の約 2 倍となった(24.5~32.3 h/ha) 。一方で,下刈りと除伐の合計作業時間は毎年下刈り区が最も長くなり(155.1~181.3 h/ha) ,ほとんどの試験区でスギは 雑木との競争から抜けていた。これらの結果から,下刈り回数を削減することで除伐作業時間は増加するが,下刈りの回数を 削減した方が合計作業時間を短縮でき,状況次第では除伐自体も削減することで初期保育コストの大幅な削減が可能になるこ とが示唆された。 キーワード:下刈り・除伐・作業時間・低コスト造林

“…Recently, conifer plantations have matured in Japan, and it is now necessary to consider management of old trees (Miyamoto 2015). Moreover, we need to reduce management costs to improve revenue for forest owners (Fukumoto et al 2017(Fukumoto et al , 2020b(Fukumoto et al , 2021Sakai et al 2019). While promising, our models do not yet address some of the problems currently experienced in the Japanese forestry industry, and further refinement is required to adapt the yield growth models for non-standard treatments.…”
