Table 1 Mean air temperature and volume water content from April to September 2018, the height, diameter of the breast height (DBH) and the leaf area index (LAI) of Q. serrata grown in FM Tamakyuryo and FM Chichibu in 2018, the concentrations of inorganic nitrogen (NH4+-N, NO3-N and total of them) and available phosphorus, and pH in the soils of FM Tamakyuryo and FM Chichibu 2018. Temperature and VWC is mean of 1 h average value from April to September 2018. Height, DBH, LAI, NH4+-N, NO3-N, total nitrogen, available phosphorus and pH are mean value of nine individuals or soils.
