Abstract

Removal of understory and A0 horizon on the forest floor was implemented in the pine forest damaged by pine wilt disease. Removal of understory accelerated diameter growth in the remaining canopy pine trees because of reduction of the suppression by the understory. Pine tree seedling establishment was accelerated by the removal of understoty and A0 horizon. In the remaining conditions of A0 horizon, mortality of seedlings in the initial stage immediately after seedling emerging was the higher than in the later stage, due to the drought stress to the root systems in A0 horizon. The results suggested removal of understory and A0 horizon was effective for the restoration of damaged pine forests.
