- Observation In tall-tree forests, Pterocarya rhoifolia had a single trunk and reached about 30 m.
- Observation In tall-tree forests, Aesculus turbinata had a single trunk and reached about 30 m.
- Observation In dwarf forests, P. rhoifolia reached about 18 m bent trunk length.
- Observation In dwarf forests, P. rhoifolia reached 10 m in height.
- Observation In dwarf forests, P. rhoifolia produced more and smaller sprout trunks.
- Observation In dwarf forests, A. turbinata produced a single creeping trunk reaching 30 m trunk length.
- Observation In dwarf forests, A. turbinata reached about 5 m height.
- Observation Acer nipponicum was dominant after P. rhoifolia and A. turbinata in dwarf riparian forests.
- Mechanism The authors infer that tree species adapted to severe snow accumulation maintain these forests.
