・Abstract
Rewetting of unused pasture through excavation is one method of restoring wetland areas that have declined globally. This study investigated the relationship between vegetation and the hydrochemical environment in the Hororo restoration area of the Kushiro Mire. Vegetation in the site was explained by the maximum relative groundwater level from April to September, and it was further suggested that flooding from surrounding open drainage channels may also play a role.
