The distribution on 88 taxa of wild orchids in the Korean Peninsula was investigated by the examinations of specimens and the distribution maps were presented. The species numbers distributed at each eight floral regions in the Korean Peninsula are as the followings; Gapsan Province 27 taxa, Gwanbuk 21, Gwanseo 13, Middle 37, South 39, Southern-coast 33, Jeju 64 and Ulleung 19. Most species (72.7%) of Korean wild orchids are found in the Jeju Island. Eighteen taxa of them are restricted to the island in the Korean Peninsula. Among Korean species, 30 taxa grow at evergreen broad-leaved forests, and 16 are northern elements distributed at high mountains or northern part. In terms of distribution, the Korean wild orchid species are classified into IUCN Red List Categories by a modified criterion for Korean plants. No orchid species included EX or EW categories is found in the Korean Peninsula. Ten species are designated to be in CR category; Cymbidium kanran, C. lancifolium, C. ensifolium, Cypripedium japonicum, Cyrtosia septentrionalis, Dendrobium moniliforme, Habenaria chejuensis, H. radiata, Neofinetia falcata and Sedirea japonica, of which C. ensifolium and H. chejuensis are regarded as CR species for the first time. On the other hand, 22 taxa are classified into EN category, and the following nine taxa are newly proposed to be EN species; Gastrochilus japonicum, G. fuscopunctatus, Gastrodia verrucosa, Habenaria flagellifera, Herminium lanceum var. longicrure, Chamaegastrodia sikokiana, Lecanorchis kiusiana, Neottia hypocastanoptica and Tipularia japonica.

This study was carried out to give basic information about the environmental conservation in Masan District. It included the actual vegetation the degree of human disturbance of vegetation, plant biomass and biomass production. The natural vegetation was nonexistent and the major plant communities of the secondary forest was P. thunbergii-Q. acutissima and Quercus forest. P. thunbergii-Q. acutissima community area was 29.2% of Masan District and the secondary forest and the afforestation area was 48% and 13% of Masan District respectively. The ecological diversity of the plant community was high value in Q. acutissima- P. thunbergii, Q.aliena and Carpinus laxiflora-Q.variabilis communicty. As the investigation of the ecological succession in Masan Forest, P. thunbergii community is edaphic climax and mixed forest will be changed gradually dominant species of Quercus species. It was implied that Genus Quercus hadnever beenso easily taken ever by the Genus Pinus which forms the edaphic climax at vast areas of forest land. In the degree of human disturbance of vegetation, the degree 7 (secondary forest 1) was 52.8% and the green spaces in Masan cover 65%, which nongreen spaces 35 %. Total amount of plant biomass produced from Masan District was estimated to be 160, 470.95 tons. Annual Production of dry matter biomass amounts to be 32,940.64 tons. Estimated amount for O$_2$produced annually from the vegetated area in Masan was 34,856 tons.

The cactus habitat in Jeju Island has a phytogeographically specific distribution in the East Asian region, and forms a unique landscape as the only native cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) habitat in Korea. However, there has been no detailed investigation on the distribution of cacti in the habitat and no investigation on the diversity of the mixed composition of plants in the habitats and their correlation with the distribution of cactus populations. This study attempted to investigate the diversity of vascular plants in the Wollyeong-ri cactus habitat and record the actual distribution and trends of cactus distribution. In addition to the distribution characteristics of cacti, we also discuss the characteristics of species reflecting the characteristics of the habitat among the mixed population of plant species, as well as the biological and environmental factors that threaten the maintenance of cactus populations or require management for preservation of cacti. Considering the phenological character, we conducted the field surveys for flora identification six times between June 2015 and September 2017. The Engler classification system was used for the arrangement sequence and names of plants, and the Korean Plant Names Index was adopted for the Korean name of the species. The study results showed that the Wolryung-ri cactus habitat in Jeju Island has the characteristic physiognomy of an area dominated by cactus. For the vascular plants, a total of 125 taxa were identified, including 53 families, 104 genera, 109 species, 15 varieties and 1 forma. Endangered plants specified by the Ministry of Environment were not found. Two species, Cyrtomium falcatum and Asplenium incisum, were identified as the ferns, and no gymnosperms were found. In addition, 123 taxa of angiosperms, 91 taxa of dicotyledones and 32 taxa of monocotyledons were identified. The distributions of cacti were confirmed in 289 meshes corresponding to 59.3% of the total 487 meshes in the cactus protected area, which showed various coverage distributions ranging from 5% to 95%. Most of the meshes where no cacti were found are coastal areas with exposed basalt rocks where the soil depth has not developed or extremely restricted due to repeated waves, or areas where artificial facilities, grasslands, and observation paths have been constructed. On the other hand, there were 71 lattice points in 14.5% of the total area where the cactus showed 70% or higher dominance. Cacti are randomly distributed in these areas. They have adapted to the microhabitat environment and are found to be opportunistically distributed along the growable locations. Considering that the reproduction of cacti in the habitat is mostly dependent on parthenogenesis, the present distribution seems to reflect the potentially distributable regions of cacti in the habitat. Based on the results of field surveys, a management plan for conservation and protection of the protected areas has been proposed.

Knowing how many species live in a ecosystem is a major work because of the distributions of species are determined by the environmental condition. This study was carried out to investigate the distribution of vascular plants of Gonggeom-ji, located in Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, from April to October on 2012. The vascular plants were summarized as 240 taxa including 69 families, 176 genus, 204 species, 2 subspecies, 29 varieties, and 5 forma. Among the investigated taxa, 3 taxa of Korean endemic plants were included. Based on the list of specially designated plants by Ministry of Environment, 11 taxa including Alisma orientale, Monochoria korsakowii and Nymphoides peltata were recorded. The naturalized plants were identified as 26 taxa and the ratio of naturalized index (NI) was 10.8% of vascular plants recorded. 31 taxa of hydrophytes showed 17.8% of Korea. To conservation of wetlands, we suggest that it is required to minimize for unnecessary disturbance of human and to make a strategy for effective management by continuous monitoring for ecosystem alteration.

This study suggested methodology of Citizen Science as a tool of ecosystem conservation and management to achieve Wetland Protected Area (WPA) Conservation Plan and examined whose applicability in 3 WPAs (Jangrok of Gwangju metropolitan city, Madongho of Goseong in South Gyeongsang Province, and Incheongang estuary of Gochang in North Jeolla Province). It consists of a) figuring out main interests and stakeholder or beneficiaries of WPA and their information demand based on conservation, utilization, and management target in the WPA Conservation Plan, b) conducting research activities to gain outcome to address stakeholder's demand, and c) returning the research outcome to citizen scientists and making diffusion to the society. Based on the suggested method and process, citizen scientists conducted ecosystem monitoring (plants including Invasive Alien Plants, terrestrial insects, traces of mammals, discovering unknown wetland). As a result, citizen scientists contributed to collecting species information of 16 plans, 43 species of terrestrial insects, 5 mammals including Lutra lutra (Endangered Species I) and Prionailurus bengalensis (Endangered Species II). The authors constructed and provided distribution map of Invasive Alien Plants, which included information of location and density which citizen scientists registered, for Environment Agencies and local governments who manage 3 WPAs to aid data-based ecosystem policy, In further studies, not only accumulating research data and outcomes acquired from citizen science to suffice the policy demands but also deliberate reviewing policy applicability and social·economic ripple effect should be processed for the suggested Citizen Science in WPA to be settled down as a tool of ecosystem conservation and management.

최근에 과수농가의 농민과 원예 및 능금조합의 지도기사들을 대상으로 과수해충 방제실태에 대한 설문조사를 한 결과, 사과원에서는 응애류가 심식충류나 진딧물보다 방제가 어려운 해충으로 지적되고 있다. 또한 필자가 전국 6개 지역의 15개 일반 농가의 사과원을 2년간 년 3회 이상 관찰한 결과에서도 심식충류의 피해를 받고 있는 농가는 거의 없었으며, 응애류는 그 발생정도에 차이는 있으나 대부분의 사과원에서 상존하고 있는 현상이었다. 이와 같이 응애류가 사과원에서 주요해충으로 등장하게 된 이유는 첫째, 시비$\cdot$농약살포 등 관리상태의 향상으로 사과나무 잎의 생리적 조건이 변화되어 응애류의 생식력을 자극시켰기 때문이라는 ''생식자극설''(生殖刺戟設)과 둘째, 1940년대 후반 이후 농약 사용의 급증으로 인하여 응애류의 발생을 억제하던 포식성 응애를 비롯한 천적류가 감소 또는 멸종되었기 때문에 응애류가 격발(激發)하게 되었다는 ''포식자억제설''(捕食者抑制設) 등이 있다.

농수산물 유통개선은 농정주요지표의 하나이다. 특히 청과물은 그 비중이 크고 많은 문제점을 안고있기 때문에 농수산물 유통개선의 핵심적 과제이다. 또한 청과물유통문제가 이와 같이 커다란 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 것은 문제점 개선의 많은 여지를 갖고 있기 때문이다. ‘60년대 이후 청과물소비량의 급격한 증가는 유통여건의 많은 변화를 가져왔다. 유통량의 증가 고속도로 등 사회간접자본의 확충은 유통의 광역화(廣域化)를 초래했으며, 유통단계의 확대와 다양화를 가져왔다. 또한 유통량의 증가로 유통시설의 부족현상을 초래하게 되었으며 기존유통체제로서는 증가되는 유통물량에 효율적으로 대처하기 어렵게 되었고 계절적, 자연적인 가격변동이 심화되었다. 이에 따라 과거 생산량증대에만 중점을 두던 농정문제는 유통문제에도 관심을 두지 않을 수 없게 되었으며, 유통에 대한 중요성과 관심이 날로 증대되어 가고 있다.

목초지에서 비점오염원 유출특성은 가축밀도(stocking rate)와 방목형태(grazing management practice)에 기인하여 다르게 나타난다. 전통적인 방목형태는 한 대상지역에서 높은 가축밀도의 연속적인 방목(continuous grazing)을 취하는 것인데, 이 경우 토양압밀에 따른 강우의 침투량 감소, 가축의 배설물 축적 등으로 비점오염 유출량이 증가할 수 있으며, 식물의 재성장기간 부족으로 지속적인 방목지 운영이 어려울 수 있다. 순환방목(rotational grazing)은 이러한 연속적 방목 형태의 부정적인 영향을 개선하고자 대안으로 제시되었다. 방법은 구역을 나누고 초본식물의 생육상태를 고려하여 일정기간이 지나면 다른 구역으로 이동 시키며 방목하는 형태이다. 기존의 연구들은 단위 면적당 적정 가축밀도, 필드규모에서 방목형태에 따른 비점오염 유출특성에 초점을 두고 있으며, 결과들은 가축밀도의 영향보다는 방목형태에 의한 수문, 수질 영향이 더 크다고 지적하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 가축밀도(Heavy vs Light) 및 방목형태(Continuous vs Rotational)가 유역의 비점오염 유출특성에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하고자, 미국 북텍사스 지역에 위치한 Clear Creek 유역을 대상으로 4개의 방목시나리오(heavy continuous[HC], light continuous[LC], multi-paddock[MP], no grazing)를 구성하고 Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) 모형에 적용하였다. SWAT 모형은 대상유역 내 4개의 방목지에서 측정한 토양수분 및 식물 바이오매스 자료, 유역 출구점에서 관측된 장기간의 수문 수질 자료를 이용하여 검증되었다. 연구결과는 순환방목(MP) 시나리오가 수질보호 및 토양침식 방지, 식생의 영양염류 흡수능력이 커지는 것과 같이 생태계서비스 기능의 개선 측면에서 최적의 방목형태(best grazing management)인 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 가축밀도 보다는 방목형태에 기인한 것으로 필드와 유역스케일에서 동일한 결과를 보여주었다. 그러나 유역 내 목초지의 차지비율에 따라 순환방목 채택에 따른 비점오염 유출량의 감소효과는 다르게 나타나게 된다.

To develope wild flower collected from Chollabuk-do area resource plant species were investigated from May 1996 to April 1997. This study was focussed to make the basic data for better quality of breeding species from wild flower species and to keep proper gene pool for development with competitive power internationally in future. There was 131 species blooming in spring season(34.7%), 219 species in summer(58.1%), 25 species in autumn(6.6%) and 2 species in winter(0.5%), respectively. Flower color of all the plants was 26 kinds in diverse, among them, white flowers were occupied dominantly of 28.9%, yellow flowers, 20.7%, violet flowers, 16.4% and red purple flowers, 7.9%, respectively. Transplanted wild flower plants at the garden in the study area frequently were Chelidonium majus var. asiaticum, Hemerocallis fulva, Iris nertschinskia, Rhododendron yedoense var. poukhanense, Rhododendron mucronulatum, Pulsatilla koreana, Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum, Taraxacum platycarpum, Chrysanthemum boreale, Liriope platyphylla and Lycoris radiata. Twenty-six species of wild flowers such as Cymbidium goeringii, H. fulva, L. radiata, C. zawadskii var. latilobum, etc. were collected from their habitat and being selling at the market or road side. Total 343 taxa of wild flowers to prevent carrying out to foreign countries and to improve better quality were selected and recommended in this study, for example, they were 41 taxa of Compositae plant, 25 of Rosaceae, 20 of Liliaceae and 18 of Ranunculaceae in order. Acorus calamus var. angustatus, Cypripedium japonicum, C. macranthum, Calanthe discolor, Dicentra spectabilis, Ilex cornuta, Stewartia koreana, Abeliophyllum distichum, Forsythia saxatilis and Campanula glomerata var. dahurica should be protected as wild flowers because their numbers are decreasing remarkably, belong to rare species, being at a crisis to extinct species and important plants for research materials.
