Japanese researchers investigated whether a dominant tree of warm temperate broadleaved forests inward Japan, Castanopsis sieboldii, underwent northward migration over hundreds of kilometres from Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) (about 21,000 years ago) refugia inward the Ryukyu archipelago too southern Kyushu, where fossil pollen indicates the LGM survival of broadleaved evergreen forests, or was inward fact able to last closer to its acquaint make inward colder areas such every bit the coast of the Nihon Sea too the Pacific Ocean side of eastern Honshu during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Using a combined genetic analysis too modelling approach, it was found that the East Nihon populations, where few pollen fossil records exist, survived inward situ during the LGM on both the Nihon Sea too Pacific coasts too were non established via expansion later on the LGM from southern areas. Their findings were published online inward Heredity.

In the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the bounding main level decreased past times virtually 120 m compared to the present, too the province was expanded. The dashed trouble shows the estimated coastline at the LGM.

From the earthworks of fossil pollen too works life bodies, it is believed that broadleaved evergreen forests were driven to warmer areas inward the Ryukyu Archipelago too southern Kyushu during the LGM. After the LGM, they expanded their distribution northward to the Nihon Sea too the Pacific coast. There has been a fence on whether the broadleaved evergreen forests, which shortly occupy broad areas inward warm temperate regions of Japan, had expanded from a express expanse inward the southern locomote of Kyushu, or survived inward minor forests inward diverse areas inward Japan. Using a species distribution modelling approach to model the species' LGM distribution, a suitable climate is predicted inward the southern locomote of the Pacific coast, which is farther supported past times genetic evidence.
In the study, researchers investigated where C. sieboldii, a dominant tree species of broadleaved evergreen forests inward Japan, inhabited during the glacial menstruum past times constructing multiple models based on genetic diversity. The final result indicated that the Ryukyu too the West Group existed from the oldest period, too that the East too the Nihon Sea Group were formed from the West Group. Furthermore, the estimated fourth dimension of diversification suggested that these 4 groups had already been established earlier the LGM. The final result suggested that C. sieboldii survived separately inward Ryukyu, West, Nihon Sea, East during the LGM, too expanded the population every bit it became warmer during the past-glacial.
This report identified major genetic lineages inward the broadleaved evergreen tree species C. sieboldii inward the Ryukyu Archipelago, Western Japan, the Nihon Sea, too Eastern Japan. The unique genetic composition of each part has formed every bit a final result of a long history of genetic isolation associated amongst the glacial-interglacial cycles.
In recent years, the importance of preserving local genetic variety has been recognized. When planting broadleaved trees to manage natural regeneration or during afforestation, it is necessary non to disturb the local genetic variety every bit much every bit possible.
Lead writer Kyoko Aoki at Osaka University says, "Our interrogation highlights the importance of restricting the distribution of seedlings across the genetic boundaries identified betwixt Ryukyu, Western Japan, Nihon Sea, too Eastern Nihon inward social club to retain genetic patterns which convey formed over thousands of years."
