Four stands with different developmental stages, from young small-sized stand to fairly mature stand, were surveyed. Quercus mongolica maintained the most dominance throughout four stands with continu-ous regeneration. Betula davurica maintained next most dominance throughout four stands, although the regen-eration of this species was rather discontinuous. It was concluded that B . davurica was one of the major climax species of the continental type of the deciduous broadleaved forest, contrasting with the generally accepted view that Betula trees are usually shade-intolerant pioneer species appearing in an earlier stage of forest succession and disappearing in the climax stage. Finally vegetation geographical importance of B . davurica was stressed in discussing the geographical comparison and the reconstruction of vegetation history of the deciduous broadleaved forests of Japan.}, pages = {135--141}, title = {ロシア極東沿海地方南部に分布するモンゴリナラ-ヤエガワカンバ林の構造,更新とヤエガワカンバの植生地理学的意義}, volume = {54}, year = {2006} }
