This study quantitatively assessed the effects of predation by large birds, which have a significant impact on wetland plant communities that are rapidly declining worldwide, using field surveys and manipulation experiments. Long-term experimental manipulation of the predation by Middendorf’s bean goose, which prey on the subterranean parts of Zazania latifolia and Bolboschoenus fluviatilis, revealed that predation on B. fluviatilis, increases the number of Z. latifolia. It was also shown that the abundance and biodiversity of wetland plant communities were reduced in wetlands where Middendorf’s bean goose were absent. This is important research in considering the conservation of wetlands themselves, and the diversity of their plant communities.
This issue also includes a data article on semi-natural grassland plants.

In addition, Part 2 of Blue carbon dynamics in coastal habitats: Their role in climate change mitigation is published.
Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tomimatsu’s comments: This survey and analysis of community awareness of seagrass ecosystem services for blue carbon conservation in marine protected areas, using Karimunjawa National Park (Indonesia) as a case study, is published as an open access paper. Please introduce the importance of preserving seaweed beds to your students in your lectures using this excellent paper.

世界中で急速に失われつつある湿性の植物群集に非常に影響の大きな大型の鳥類の捕食を野外調査と操作実験で定量的に評価した研究です。マコモとウキヤガラの地下部を好むオオヒシクイの捕食を長期に渡って実験的に操作することで、ウキヤガラへの捕食によってマコモの数が増えることが明らかになりました。また、オオヒシクイが居ない湿地では、湿性の植物群集の量と生物多様性が減少することも示されました。湿地自体やその植物群集の多様性の保全を考える上で重要な研究です。
本号には、半自然草原の植物についてのデータアーティクルも掲載されています。明治初期までは大きな面積を占めていたと考えられている日本の半自然草原の消失速度は極めて大きいです。その消失の影響評価や適切な保全策の策定に大きな役割を果たすことが期待できる論文です。
