For examination of their effects on forest ecosystem, we conducted preliminary survey using a dendroecological technique. Tree-ring samples were collected mainly in the southern part of the Ishikari Lowland where some layers of pyroclastic fall were found. The number of tree-rings was counted and tree-ring widths were measured. As a result, we could distinguish from the 1739 tree ring measurements the effect of eruption with its subsequent Ta-a volcanic deposition. This proves that the effect on tree growth changed in proportion to distance from the origin of the pyroclastic fall.}, pages = {149--156}, title = {A preliminary study on the effects of pyroclastic fall deposit on the forest ecosystem in southwestern hokkaido, japan}, year = {1996} }
