Abstract:
... Background and Aims When the orientation of the stems of conifers departs from the vertical as a result of environmental influences, conifers form compression wood that results in restoration of verticality. It is well known that intercellular spaces are formed between tracheids in compression wood, but the function of these spaces remains to be clarified. In the present study, we evaluated the im ...

Soil nitrate has noticeable effects on morphology and respiration. Low soil acid buffering capacity (ABC) accelerates soil acidification because of the lower concentrations of base cations (BC) and higher concentrations of aluminum (Al) p ...

Abstract:
... Heavy thinning may provide a feasible means to convert single-species coniferous plantations to broadleaved or mixed forests. To assess this possibility, we monitored tree seedling dynamics of other tree species, the understory microenvironment, and seed availability following heavy thinning (50 % by volume) in two hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) plantations in Shikoku, southwestern Japan.

Abstract:
... As a part of improving forest management practices, we tested the idea that partial defoliation of container-grown and bare-root Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) seedlings prior to outplanting can reduce transplant shock and enhance seedling survival during their first growing season after transplanting. For container-grown seedlings, the remaining leaves of defoliated seedlings showed photos ...

To better understand the mechanism of S2L formation, we focussed on the activity of laccase (a monolignol oxidase) and performed in situ studies of this enzyme in differentiating compression wood. Staining of differentiating compression wood demonstrated that laccase activity began i ...

The NO ₃-N adsorption properties of BC differ depending on the feedstock and the pyrolysis conditions, and the influences have not been systematically clarified. Therefore, we evaluated the dependence of feedstock and pyrolysis temperature on the NO ₃-N adsorption properties ...

Bark stripping by Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) has a serious impact on conifer plantations in Japan, resulting in physical damage to the tree trunks and reduction of the value of the timber. The aim of this study was to clarify whether these plantations are more prone to damage by bears at particular times and sites, to more effectively prevent this damaging behavior. The study was condu ...

Abstract:
... Chamobtusin A, a unique diterpene alkaloid isolated from Chamaecyparis obtusa cv. tetragon, is considered to be biosynthesized from an abietane diterpenoid. On the basis of this biosynthetic hypothesis, ferruginol (15) was synthesized from (+)-dehydroabietylamine and then biomimetically transformed into (−)-chamobtusin A in 6 steps (12 steps from (+)-dehydroabietylamine). ...
