The effects of selective cutting management on the characteristics of nutrition dynamics of coppice forest ecosystem that had been indicated by soil carbon contents and soil microbial activities were investigated in Noyama-Kita-Rokudoyama Park, Tokyo. And the suitability of the selection management cycle that had been established 20 years were examined. The soil carbon contents and soil microbial activities were decreased after selective cutting and restored to the same level with before cutting within 10 years. Therefore, it was concluded that present forest management cycle (20 years) was enough for restoration of the ecosystem, and was suitable for maintenance of nutrition dynamics.
