Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between climate factors and the catches in Korean offshore fisheries in recent three decades (1981 to 2010). Method: This study focused on seven types of fish species preferred in Korean cuisine. In the study, 10-year moving averages were used so that long-term trends could be easily identified. Results: Both air temperature and sea surface temperature (SST) on the coast of Korea rose in the period (p < 0.05). The rise in SST was significantly correlated with the rise in air temperature (p < 0.05), but not with precipitation. In the 2010s compared to in the 1981, catches of anchovy and squid greatly increased (p < 0.05), while catches of Alaska / walleye pollock has been almost extinct over the past 30 years. As such, cold-water fish species decreased or disappeared, and their fishing ground was replaced by warm-water fish species. Conclusions: These findings indicate that fish species caught in offshore fisheries of Korea have changed due to climate change, especially warming. This suggests that the warming of the Korean Peninsula may have a significant impact on the supply of fishery products and food security to Koreans in the near future.

Temperature lowering effects varied by the arrangement and types of vegetation The effects of the arrangement and types of vegetation on lowering temperature have shown following results. 1) The temperature range of a vegetation shows that a higher temperature was recorded near urban towns while lower temperature was observed around the vegetation area and small streams. 2) The relationship between the arrangement of a vegetation and the temperature indicates that the lower temperature area matches with each vegetation area. Streets between vegetations and the lower end of the wind area have also lower temperature. 3) The relationship between inter-vegetationstreets and the temperature indicates that the lower temperature area has been observed not only at the streets of the lower end of the wind but at the streets in-between streets as well. Even when there's no vegetation area from which the wind blows, inter-vegetation streets showed the lower temperature. 4) With land coverage ratio and the temperature, the increase of planted areas, grass areas, and water level have positive effects on lowering the temperature while bare areas increase it. 5) From arbor to sub-arbor, the increase of trees has a significant effect on lowering the temperature of nearby area.

This study was conducted to investigate the photosynthetic characters of Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa cuttings in response to elevated $CO_2$ concentration and air temperature for selecting tree species adaptive to climate change. The cuttings were grown in environment controlled growth chambers with two combinations of $CO_2$ concentration and air temperature conditions: (i) $22^{\circ}C$ + $CO_2$ 380 ${\mu}mol$ $mol^{-1}$ (control) and (ii) $27^{\circ}C$ + $CO_2$ 770 ${\mu}mol$ $mol^{-1}$ (elevated) for almost three months. The cuttings under the elevated treatment showed reduced tree height and photosynthetic pigment contents such as chlorophyll and carotenoid. In particular, the elevated treatment resulted in a marked reduction in the chlorophyll a closely associated with $CO_2$ fixative reaction system. Different levels of reduction in photosynthetic characters were found under the elevated treatment. A decrease was noted in photochemical reaction system parameters: net apparent quantum yield (7%) and photosynthetic electron transport rate (14%). Moreover, a significant reduction was obvious in $CO_2$ fixative reaction system parameters: carboxylation efficiency (52%) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate(RuBP) regeneration rate (24%). These results suggest that the low level of photosynthetic capacity may be attributed to the decreased $CO_2$ fixative reaction system rather than photochemical reaction system.

We observed air temperature and relative humidity in the green space why this research graspes effect of climate relax by coverage condition and height difference tree in green space of the 4ha scale. With this data, analyzed relationship of coverage and air temperature or relative humidity distribution, number of tree and climate relax by revolution analysis. In this result, higher zone formed barren area, lower zone did forest and surround grassland. Relative humidity have corresponding type of air temperature distribution. higher air temperature zone was lower humidity and lower zone was higher humidity. Coverage condition effect climate relax by increasing forest and grassland. and increasing number of tree effect climate relax no related hight of tree. This efficiency order of an arbor, subarbor.

For this study grasp coverage condition and forest stratification to various green space, observed air temperature and relative humidity. With this data, coverage condition and air temperature, relative humidity distribution, analyzed relationship of forest rate and air temperature or relative humidity, tree numbers and green volume and humidity by revolution analysis. In this result, higher none is formed artificiality and barren area, lower zone did fores and water area. Relative humidity have corresponding type of air temperature distribution. lower Tone was higher humidity. Different of Idlest type or water area, surround of forest showed relatively higher humidity. Increasing tree numbers or green volume effect higher humidity and this efficiency order of an arbor, subarbor, shrub.

A simulation model was used to examine the effects of climate variation on the tree-ring structure of Larix leptolepis trees growing at a plantation plot in Worak National Park in central Korea. The model uses mathematical equations to simulate processes affecting cell(tracheid) size variations for individual rings using daily precipitation and temperature measurements. Limiting conditions are estimated from temperature, day length and a calculated water balance. The results indicate that the seasonal growth is mostly limited by the soil moisture content and precipitation income during April and May. The April-May temperature also inversely influences the growth by increasing water losses from soil. The global climate-change scenario which includes regional warming(increasing temperature in spring-summer periods) appears to decrease the duration of optimal growths. Consequently, the model estimated that Larix leptolepis would lose the total production of xylem by 25%.

This study observed the temperature and humidity within the green zone to understand the effect that land coverage and the structure of forests have on the relief of micro-climate control. Based on this set of data, this study interpreted, through the regression analysis, the relevance of land coverage of the green zone with temperature and distribution of humidity, as well as the amount of green with the relief of microclimate control. The results of the study demonstrated that high temperature regions were formed in barren areas, and low temperature regions in forests or near the water. In particular, low temperature was found in areas covered with tall and small trees, the water surrounded by forests and areas enclosing small rivers. Furthermore, mechanisms causing low temperature were, among others, the ratio of land coverage (forest, grassland, water). In fact, the temperature reduction effect varied in accordance with the types and ratios of the land coverage. Humidity also showed a close correlation with the distribution of temperature high temperature areas had low humidity and low temperature areas had high humidity. Such a phenomenon.

대기중의 $CO_2$ 농도 상승은 지구온난화의 주원인이 되고 있는데, 1960년대 전반에 320$\mu$㏖ㆍ㏖$^{-1}$ 이하 였던 $CO_2$농도가 화석연료의 사용량 증가, 삼림 벌채 등의 영향으로 근년에는 360 $\mu$㏖ㆍ㏖$^{-1}$ 이상으로 상승하였다(Bagastow et al., 1985). 이러한 추세로 대기중의 $CO_2$ 농도가 증가한다면 21세기 말에는 $CO_2$ 농도가 현재의 약 2배로 상승되고, 2~6$^{\circ}C$의 기온 상승이 예측되어 (Burroughs, 2001) 지구차원의 환경문제로 대두되고 있다.(중략)

'UNEP Global Environment Outlook 2000'의 자료에 의하면, 향후 1000년에 가장 심각한 환경문제는 "지구온난화" 였다. $CO_2$ 농도 증가 등으로 인한 기후변화로 지난 100년간 전 세계적으로 기온은 평균 0.3~0.6$^{\circ}C$ 상승, 해수면은 평균 25 cm 내외 상승, 프레온가스 등으로 인하여 성층권의 오존층이 파괴되어 피부암과 안질환이 급증하고 면역기능이 저하되며, 현종 식물종 8%, 조류 11%, 어류 5%, 포유류 14%가 멸종위기에 처하는 등 생물다양성의 감소, 내분비계 장애물질(환경호르몬) 증가로 유해화학물질에 더욱 노출되고 있다.

지구온난화를 유발하는 온실효과기체의 대표적인 성분으로는 이산화탄소, 메탄, 프레온류, 아산화질소 등을 들 수 있으며, 각 성분의 대기 중 농도는 산업화의 진행에 따라 지속적이고 철저한 증가 추세를 보이고 있다. 이에 따라 지구 온난화 현상은 점차 가속화되는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 온실효과기체가 현재와 같은 증가율로 증가하게 되면 2030년대에는 지구 전체의 평균기온이 현재에 비해 약 1.5-3.5$^{\circ}C$ 상승하게 되고, 기후 변동, 생태계의 교란, 해수면 상승, 토양침식 증가 등의 결과가 예측된다. (중략)
