Zoysiagrasses (Zoysia spp.) and Japanese culture Invited Reviewed International journal
Tanaka Satoru
International Turfgrass Society Research Journal 2025.03
Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author Language:English Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher:International Turfgrass Society
Zoysiagrasses (species of Zoysia Willd.) are native in the western Pacific Rim (including eastern Asia) and in the Indian Ocean. All are perennial warm-season grasses. Five species are found naturally in different habitats in Japan: Japanese lawngrass ( Zoysia japonica Steud.), manilagrass [ Zoysia matrella (L.) Merr.], Zoysia pacifica (Goudswaard) M. Hotta & Kuroki, Zoysia macrostachya Franch. & Sav., and Zoysia sinica Hance. Japan is a high rainfall, mountainous country, predominantly forested but with more limited areas of natural and seminatural grassland (e.g., in drier locations or following clearing) dominated by Imperata cylindrica (L.) Raeusch., Miscanthus sinensis Andersson, and Z. japonica . Such grassland areas have historically been used since the fourth century AD as grazing lands for cattle and horses, although their importance has diminished since 1945. Ornamentally, zoysiagrasses (mainly Z. japonica ) were first used as groundcover on tombs more than 1600 years ago, followed by their use in gardens and to stabilize roofs. With the advent of the Samurai warrior class, the formal style of garden with artificial mountains covered by Z. japonica or Z. matrella with ponds became popular for leisure activities, including socializing and entertaining. More widely in agriculture, Z. japonica has had a long history in the production of japonica rice ( Oryza sativa subsp. japonica Kato), the staple food in Japan, where it was used to stabilize levee banks around paddy fields. In so many different contexts and applications, zoysiagrasses have strong, wide-ranging, and longstanding historical links to Japanese culture.

An overview of Japanese turfgrass research for the past 50 years Reviewed International journal
Tanaka Satoru
International Turfgrass Society Research Journal 2025.03
Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author Language:English Publishing type:Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher:International Turfgrass Society
The Japanese Society of Turfgrass Science (JSTS) has published the Journal of Japanese Society of Turfgrass Science for over 50 years. The objective of this research was to provide an overview of Japanese turfgrass research, including that conducted in universities and other research institutes and by prolific scientists, and to visualize co-authorship networks among these researchers. Data related to the journal from 1972 to 2022, and the Researchmap database, which is the largest database of researchers in Japan, were retrieved. The 10 most prolific authors in the Journal of Japanese Society of Turfgrass Science over 50 years were selected. Lists of journal articles written by authors who had published four or more articles in the Journal of Japanese Society of Turfgrass Science were obtained from the Researchmap database, and 209 journal and proceeding titles were retrieved. A total of 750 authors and 771 articles were retrieved from the Citation Information by National Institute of Informatics (CiNii) Research database. In total, 89 authors published four or more, and 661 authors published three or fewer. Among these, the largest cluster was composed of 294 components. The logarithmic relationship between the rank and number of authors in the cluster suggested a power law relationship. According to the cluster analysis results, 131 authors were not connected to any larger clusters, indicating a lack of collaboration. Plant pathology was not connected to the largest cluster. The number of authors per paper peaked in 1992–2012. Tracking authors with many scientific publications may increase the efficiency of literature research.

Urban areas, many located in lowlands, are often characterised by poor drainage and compacted soil and this can have an impact on the growth of urban trees. Castanopsis sieboldii and Cinnamomum camphora are 2 evergreen tree species distributed throughout southern Japan. Many of these trees are planted in urban areas and their suburbs, and others grow naturally. The differences between these 2 species in their response to soil physical conditions, particularly those towards waterlogging and low aeration conditions, have not previously been studied. In this study, we analysed and compared the tolerance of Castanopsis spp. and Cinnamomum spp. to stagnant soil water conditions and investigated the effects of soil quality improvement using obsidian perlite to increase air content in soil under stagnant and drained water conditions on the growth of these plants in pot experiments. In the study, Castanopsis and Cinnamomum plants were grown on sand alone or mixed with obsidian perlite, and these were subjected to stagnant or drained water treatments. Results: Under stagnant water conditions, all young Castanopsis trees died within approximately 18 months. In contrast, only one young tree of Cinnamomum spp. grown on sand died under stagnant water conditions, and those grown on sand mixed with obsidian perlite were still alive after 35 months under stagnant conditions. Soil quality improvement using perlite increased the leaf abundance (numbers) in both species. Stagnant water with a reduced soil air phase adversely affected RCastanopsis spp. growth, but over the study period of 3 years Cinnamomum spp. was unaffected. When selecting tree species for urban planting, the impact of localised soil conditions on tree physiology may be critical.

土壌改良剤の有無による土壌物理性の違いがスダジイとクスノキ稚樹の成長に及ぼす影響 Reviewed

野外におけるポット実験により土壌改良剤を用いて異なる土壌物理性を設定し,スダジイとクスノキの成長量を比較した.大型プラスチックポットを用いて,山砂のみの対照区(C)と山砂に黒曜石パーライトを40%(体積比)混和した土壌改良区(EP)を設定し,2017年4月から41ヵ月間,生育量を測定した.その結果,両樹種ともにEPでは生育期間中Cよりも根元直径が大きい傾向があり,その傾向はクスノキよりもスダジイで著しかった.EPとCで樹高に明確な差はみられなかったが,一次枝長はスダジイEPでCより大きい傾向があり,一方でクスノキではEPとCの差はみられなかった.同様に葉数はスダジイEPでCよりも有意に多く,クスノキでは差がなかった.最終的な総乾物重量は,スダジイではCよりEPで大きい傾向があり,クスノキではEPとCの違いはなかった.スダジイでは対照区の成長が劣り,土壌改良区の葉数が有意に高まったが,クスノキでは処理による違いはなかった.土壌改良剤の効果は樹種によって異なり,植栽時の土壌物理性がその後の樹木の成長量に影響することが明らかになった.

高温水処理によるメリケントキンソウ(Soliva sessilis Ruiz & Pav.)の除草効果 Reviewed

南アメリカ原産のメリケントキンソウ(Soliva sessilis)は,鋭い棘をもつそう果を生産して芝地の利用を妨げる。本種はほふく型の一年生雑草で,刈取による防除が困難なため,高温水の茎葉処理による防除効果を検討した。4月中旬に東京都内の公園にて,高圧洗浄機を用いて98°C の高温水を個体に対してスポット処理した場合,304~1,824 mL/株(処理時間2 ~ 12 秒)のいずれも処理28 日後時点で完全枯死した。また,群落に対して全面処理した場合,760,1,520,2,280 mL/m2(処理時間5,10,15 秒)のいずれも,処理時に10 ~ 20%だった本種の被度は8%未満に低下した。ただし760 mL/m2 では高温水の散水むらが生じやすいため,草高の高い群落での全面処理においては1,520 ~ 2,280 mL/m2 が望ましいと考える。
