Abstract

Sea aster (Aster tripolium L.) which grows on costal marshes is an endangered species due to the modification of rivers and land development according to the Red Data Book (Ministry of Environment (2000)). This paper aims to illustrate the characteristics of the habitat of Sea aster at Kinokawa River. The Sea aster at Kinokawa River grows on the average flood level mark and behind high-density riparian plant vegetation which consists of reed (Phragmites communis Trin.), Carex scabrifolia Steud., and so on. The soil consists of sandy gravels. It is considered that gravels trap seeds and seedlings and prevent them from washing away when water levels change. The presence of high-density vegetation is considered to contribute to a protection of the habitat by preventing bank erosion as well as trapping seeds and seedlings.
