Aomori prefecture have many beautiful nature place and good fields for ecology studies exist close to us. There are full of study subjects. Let's study plant ecology together.

Research Theme

My research mainly focuses on three themes: 

1) The evolution, morphology, distribution and life history of “spring ephemeral” plants.

2) The effects of climate change on plant populations and vegetation of Pseudo-Alpine Zone in the Shirakami Mountains.

3) Conservation study of local plants.
