abstract   bibtex   
[Excerpt] In the Chinese Red List this species is assessed as Least Concern. This species is assessed as Vulnerable in Japan under the synonym Betula ovalifolia. This species is therefore considered locally threatened in Japan, but due to its wider distribution outside of Japan, where it is reported to be common with no major threats, it is not considered to be globally threatened.~It is therefore assessed here as Least Concern. [::Common Name(s)] [::]English - Japanese bog birch [::Taxonomic Notes] Betula tatewakiana is generally considered a minor variant of B. fruticosaBetula~baicalensis is a possible hybrid between B. fruticosa and B. pendulaBetula~middendorfii and B. divaricata probably belong here, but are very similar to B. glandulosa from Goose Bay in Labrador [::Range Description] This species is distributed in eastern and central North Asia and in the forest zones and subalpine zones of the mountains of East Siberia. In Japan this species is found only in the Takachi Province on the island of Hokkaido. In China it can be found in Heilongjiang and Nei Mongol, also in Jilin (Changbai Shan, incorrectly listed in The Flora of China under the name~B. ovalifolia). [::Countries] Native:China (Heilongjiang, Nei Mongol); Japan (Hokkaido); Korea, Democratic People's Republic of; Korea, Republic of; Mongolia; Russian Federation (Amur, Buryatiya, Chita, Irkutsk, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Magadan, Primoryi, Sakhalin, Yakutiya) [::Population] This species is reported to be Vulnerable in Japan, but more common elsewhere. [::Habitat and Ecology] The species~is a slender shrub with several stems to two to three metres, growing in wet ground in peat bogs and boggy forests (larch, larch-spruce, spruce-fir or mixedwood), marshes, open subtundra forests, limestone rocks and streamsides. In northeast Siberia and in the subalpine zone of mountains the species participates in the formation of dwarf birch communities, usually mixed with cedar-pine stlanik and green alder. Where it occurs in Arctic limits, the species grows in river valleys, on steep slopes, in floodplain poplar forests, in shrub thickets and in depressions near the sea coast. [::Use and Trade] There are no known uses of this species. [::Major Threat(s)] There are no major threats reported for this species.
