Fuji, which have wide variations in soil particle size. To clarify why P . weyrichii can dominate over a wide range of soil particle size, this study compares the root morphology of P . weyrichii growing at two habitats with different soil particle sizes. The study area was divided into two sites based on the soil particle sizes, that is, large scoria site(L-site) and small scoria site(S-site).The L-site had large scoria layer about 10 cm in depth whereas the S-site only on the surface. The root morphology and the root area were different between the sites. At the L-site, P . weyrichii had abundant coarse adventitious root(≧1 mm in diameter)in the10to20cmlayer.AttheS-site,fineadven-titious root(<1mm)develops vigorously in the first 10 cm of soil. The large scoria layer is dryer than the sand layer. The expansion of coarse adventitious roots at the L-site was considered to be adaptation for unfavorable environments. The adventitious roots as well as a vertical rhizome are important for growing on the gravel site.}, pages = {1--6}, title = {富士山高山域の異なる土壌粒径上に生育するオンタデの地下形態}, volume = {54}, year = {2006} }
