In 2015-2016, we investigated the farmland management procedures used on dairy farms in Japan using a mail-back survey. In Hokkaido, 98% of the surveyed farms had meadows, 53% had pastures, and 49% had forage crop fields. In all other prefectures, 19% of farms had meadows, 10% had pastures, and 90% had forage crop fields. The median area of each field category per farm was greater in Hokkaido than in the other prefectures. In all places, the application rate of organic fertilizer decreased in the following order: forage crop field > meadow > pasture (37, 8.7, and 2.7 Mg-manure ha−1 y−1, respectively, in Hokkaido). In forage crop fields, organic fertilizer was applied at lower rates and inorganic fertilizer was applied at higher rates in Hokkaido than elsewhere (37 vs. 69 Mg-manure ha−1 y−1 and 42 vs. 22 kg-N ha−1 y−1 respectively). In meadows, organic fertilizer was applied at lower rates in Hokkaido (8.7 vs. 14 Mg-manure ha−1 y−1); however, inorganic fertilizer was applied at similar rates. The annual rate of grassland renovation with full-inversion tillage in 2006-2010 was 3.0% in Hokkaido and 1.3% in the other prefectures. In both regions, manure was intensively applied during grassland renovation.

In order to understand the relationships between understory bamboo and soil properties, we compared microbial community structures in the soil of a Betula ermanii boreal forest with Sasa kurilensis present and removed using high-throughput DNA sequencing. The presence of understory S. kurilensis strongly affected soil properties, including total carbon, total nitrogen, nitrate, and the C:N ratio as well as relative soil moisture. Marked differences were also noted in fungal and bacterial communities between plots. The relative abundance of the fungal phylum Ascomycota was 13.9% in the Sasa-intact plot and only 0.54% in the Sasa-removed plot. Among the Ascomycota fungi identified, the most prevalent were members of the family Pezizaceae. We found that the abundance of Pezizaceae, known to act as mycorrhizal fungi, was related to the amount of total carbon in the Sasa-intact plot. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria was significantly higher, whereas those of Planctomycetes and Actinobacteria were lower in the Sasa-intact plot than in the Sasa-removed plot. Furthermore, the results obtained suggest that some species of the phylum Planctomycetes are more likely to occur in the presence of S. kurilensis. Collectively, these results indicate that the presence of S. kurilensis affects microbial communities and soil properties in a B. ermanii boreal forest.
