Brief Lab Introduction

Forest ecosystem is a part of a complex-ecosystem composed of forest, and other natural and human habitats, which is dynamic and flexible. Our objectives are genetic and ecological observation and analyses of this system, and to find basic rules. We explore dynamics of genetic diversity, population and community structure, aimed at sustainable management of the forest habitats. We try to create a practical forest management theory.
