“…On the other hand, soil pH was among the main important soil properties influencing growth of the species. Other studies also revealed that the growth of C. obtusa was regulated by soil pH, indicating that soil pH has a noticeable effect on the growth performance of the species [27][28][29][30].…”

“…However, soil pH was found to be an influential factor in the DBH growth pattern of the species. Previous studies also noted that the species prefers moist but well-drained, loamy, somehow acidic soil for optimum health and growth (Larum, 2018;Park et al, 2015).…”

“…Among the growth evaluation methods, analysis of annual tree-rings is a potential source of long term information (Haines et al, 2018). Soil and tree-ring analysis is also often used to assess long-term trends in tree growth (Peters et al, 2015;Park et al, 2015). Those methods are powerful tools to reconstruct historical growth changes and have been widely used to assess tree responses to global warming (Duchesne et al, 2019).…”

Tree growth is affected by environmental factors, climate condition and tree age. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth patterns of Chamaecyparis obtusa (C. obtusa) stand in the Gyeongnam province. Data was collected from two cities and one county by using sample quadrats of 20 * 20 m. A total of 11 quadrats were used to collect tree height, diameter at the breast height (DBH), annual growth rings and soil data. The data analysis of soil moisture content, pH, organic matter (%), EC (cmol + /kg of soil), and available phosphorous was conducted. Growth ring was analyzed by using computer based software and the ages of the trees were identified. Average growth of height and DBH was computed from the surveyed data and annual growth of each tree was assessed by computer based reading of annual growth rings. The results of the study revealed that tree growth showed a reducing trend along the longevity. It was identified that soil pH, age, variation in annual average temperature, and altitude were the main factors related with growth of C. obtusa trees along the life of the stand.

“…There is a little information known about the growth preference of Hinoki cypress species. Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) prefers moist but well-drained, loamy soil, somehow acidic for optimum health, full sun is best, but the tree can also grow in light shade [15,16].…”

“…Thus, levels of soil pH can be used as a general guide for determining what species will grow on a given site and are typically indicative of available nutrient levels [34]. In the study areas, most sites were having a strong pH level ranging (4-4.7), however, due to the nature of the species C. obtusa and it is requirements for optimum growth, the acidic nature of the soil is recommendable for the plantation expansion [16].…”

This study was conducted at eight different cities and counties of Gyeongnam province with the objective of evaluating the suitability of lands for the growth of Chamaecyparis obtusa (C. obtusa) species. From each city and county seven to ten sites were systematically selected for the study based on the regional representation of the sample sites by considering south, east, west and north regions of the province. From the selected sites soil data was collected by removing the top fertile soil in order to avoid the influence of decomposed top organic materials on the top soil. Soil samples from each site were air dried and the necessary laboratory processes undertaken. Evaluation of physiochemical characteristics was conducted by analyzing the properties of soil with growth requirement of the species. Storie parametric and FAO land evaluation methods were adopted to evaluate the parameters which were identified as important for the growth of the species. Based on the total index resulted from the parametric evaluation, suitability class was defined by assigning classes of highly suitable, (S1), moderately suitable (S2), marginally suitable (S3) and non-suitable (S4). The results of the study revealed that two study city/county were moderately suitable and the rest were categorized under marginally suitable for the growth and productivity of the species but there was no site which was categorized as highly suitable and non-suitable. It was recommended to use more silvicultural management for the areas categorized under marginally suitable in order to enhance the productivity.
