Key Points

The aim is to clarify the utilization practices of toudai pollarded beech trees in a specific village area of Nagano.
Conducted interviews and surveyed each tree individually.
Analyzed the structure and characteristics of the toudai beech stand.
Examined historical utilization practices by the local youth organization.
The average diameter at breast height of toudai beech was 105.1 cm, with an average sprout height of 4.7 m.
Pollarded beech with sprout stems showed a diameter distribution peaking between 10-20 cm.
About 40% of the total basal area in the study plots was contributed by toudai beech.

Implication

Observations reveal unique utilization practices of toudai beech in a snowy mountain village, suggesting sustainable resource management.
