Abstract

This study was carried out to estimate the seed crop of Carpinus forest in Piagol of Mt. Chiri for six years and the results obtained were as follows; Upper two layers of Capinus forest were dominated by C. tschonoskii and Subfall tree layer ranging from 15.40 to 17.20 m in height. The distribution of seed weight of C. tsconoski was skewed to light weight classes. Most seeds fall in November. The best crop was shown in 1984, while virtually no crops in 1985. Since 1985, annual seed crop increased gradually.
