Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the expansion patterns of bamboo forests in Kishiwada City, Osaka, by analyzing the distribution of their habitats over time. The study found that the city had 567 bamboo forests with a total area of 2, 134, 600n in 1968, 619 bamboo forests with total area of 2, 535, 000rri in 1978, and 773 bamboo forests with total area of 4, 210, 700 m in 1992. These results provide clear evidence that bamboo forests have been expanding for years, especially from 1978 to 1992. They have been expanding at the altitude of 50 to 100m and on the south-southeast slope of 5 to 10°. They have been increasing in number and have had only a slight increase in total area at the altitude of 0 to 50m and on the east-northeast slope of 0 to 5°K, indicating that their average area has been decreasing.
