The three wild populations including unrecorded two wild populations and Do-dong population, where designated as a Natural Monument NO 51, of Cotoneaster wilsonii in Ulnung Island were studied. The population at Yilmoldae, western coast of the island is in the threat by the visitors, while the population at Tonggumi is well conserved due to the geomorphologically difficult to access . The existing 25 to 50 maturing individuals are are potentially vital sources fer the island species recovery projects in the future. There are no statistical difference in the floral characteristics of the species such as both length and width of the petals, while statistical difference were shown from the leaf characteristics such as length, width and area of the leaves in the three studies areas.

Baekdudaegan field survey has been proposed and presented as a various plan such as field survey analysis, management and restoration plan, etc. Whereas, the concerns of the Jeongmaek has increased continuously, nevertheless there is no research of present condition for Jeongmaek. This paper is to contribute to suggest for management and restoration as a basic study of vegetation structure in Yongso valley. We set up 30 plots($100m^2$) to verify the vegetation structure. As a result of classification analysis used by DCA, the type of 5 communities i.e. Pinus densiflora community, Betula schmidtii community, Populus maximowiczii community, Quercus mongolica community, Q. variabilis community were the most representative of Yongso valley vegetation communities. P. densiflora community was mainly distributed in the ridge of mountain, ridge of steep slope and stony area. In that reason, they avoid to compete with B. schmidtii community and Q. spp. community. In addition, the appearance of Rhododendron micranthum was mainly characteristics in the P. densiflora community. Species diversity indices(H') of groups were ranged from 0.7914~0.9942, the tree ages were 30~115 years. According to these results, the forests of Yongso valley not only form muti-layer vegetation structures but also have a great ecological value for protection and preservation.

This study was executed to investgate the impacts of vegetation and soil characteristics on the user's impact in Children's Park and Kumkang Park, Pusan. In survey sites, twenty plots of 100$m^2$ size were set up. The degree of soil hardness was showed above 90kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in using area, which was prevented to the plants growth. The user's control was effective to the soil surface softening, while that effects of the other soil characteristics were not cleared. In the analysis of Plant community structure, especially, shrub vegetation was severely damaged. And the user's impact was due to the lowering of species and maximum species diversity. The recreation area protection of the two years was positively operated to the natural vegetation restoration and species diversity enhancement.

The concept of Baekdudaegan(Korean traditional and major mountain system) was conceived toward the close of Silla Kingdom and in the beginning of the Goryeo dynasty. The concept was brought up through the Goryeo dynasty and was completed in the Joseon dynasty. We have to recognize the next two facts to restore the Baekdudaegan concept these days. Firstly, Baekdudaegan is not the highest watershed line but a domain. Secondly, Baekdudaegan is not a set of ridges but a corporate body of a water system and a mountain system. When it comes to fix the management area of Baekdudaegan, it is necessary to make criteria on the basis of traditional ideas and to include natural characteristics considering physical environment. The management area of Baekdudaegan include the third order of stream with the conservation area including the first order of stream. The most important thing in the management strategy is to prevent the damage of configuration of the ground. Baekdudaegan is a symbol of Korea spirit. Therefore, to manage Baekdudaegan wisely is one of ways to lay down the stepping stone of our country's reunification.

In order to understand the condition of mostly-degraded evergreen broad-leaved forests(EBLF) and to make a restoration plan of EBLF in the Korean warm temperate, the distribution of EBLF and forest vegetation types have been investigated and the categories of degraded levels have been set. The coverage of the EBLF in the Korean peninsula was approximately 10,285ha based on the existing literature review and the actual vegetation map. Forest vegetation types have been investigated at thirty-two area of the south coast and inland in the warm temperate region. As a result, The forest vegetation was classified as 52 types; 26 types of EBLF, 13 types of semi-evergreen broad-leaved forests, 9 types of deciduous broad-leaved forests, 4 types of evergreen coniferous forests. The categories of degraded levels were divided into 8 levels and 14 sub-levels according to the importance percentage(I.P.) and the number of warm temperate species.

In this study, the bird fauna of Sihwa Lake in Gyeonggi Province were investigated from 2009 to 2014 to identify the effect of the restored intertidal zone on bird community. Based upon the analysis of the habitat status and distribution change of water birds in the intertidal zone, the following conclusions were obtained. The number of water bird individuals increased by approx. 40 thousand after the restoration. Most of water bird species increased, but diving ducks decreased. Analysis of the number of individuals of water birds before and after the intertidal zone restoration showed that there was a significant increase in the number of shorebird individuals. There is a habitat use pattern change in the southern tideland intertidal zone that includes the largest area of widened intertidal zone and the inland waters of the intertidal zone. This is related to the change of benthic ecosystem which is the food source of birds. The benthic ecosystem in restoring Sihwa Lake has been stabilized with a decrease in opportunistic species and consistent increase in equilibrium species that are sensitive to pollution. As a result, the environmental conditions for shorebirds have been improved. The restoration of intertidal zone affected the habitat use and distribution patterns of water birds in a short period of time. Compared to before restoration, all the water birds now use the wide area of the intertidal zone with no partiality and it is confirmed that the restoration greatly affected the distribution of shorebirds and swan & geese. This study was conduced to identify the effects of an artificial restoration of intertidal zone due to tidal power generation of bird species. In terms of maintaining and improving biodiversity, the intertidal zone restoration was recognized to be important and still shows positive results. This study is expected to provide a direction when an alternative is required to maintain and improve biodiversity in a similar situation in the future.

Object of this study is to suggest the plan for natural vegetation restoration and management by ecological approach. The concept of biotope planting technique was introduced in order to restore the natural vegetation in the northern part of Mt. Nam in Seoul, and Quercus mongolica forests was surveyed so as to obtain the basic data. This study focused on the vegetational context between northern part of Mt. Nam and develop-reserved site. The results are following ; 1. It is suitable to plant 25~30 trees in $100\m^2$ with trees of DBH 10cm and below at intervals of about 2m in canopy layer. In the case of subtree layer of DBH 2cm, about 30 trees were planted at an Intervals of 1.5~2m around in $100\m^2$. 2. In the last step of nature vegetation restoration, it is desiable that canopy density is $5/100\m^2$ and 녀btree one is 10~20/$100\m^2$. 3. Management plans was proposed to use the native species of Mt. Nam around and to investigate the ecological situation once a year such as species introduce, dead-tree, soil, fauna etc.

본연구는 조경소재로 이용가능성이 크지만 현재 자생지가 파괴되어 복원이 요구되고 있는 야생자란의 대량번식을 위해 무균배양시 배지 내 담함량의 변화와 펩톤, 트립톤 등의 첨가가 종자발아와 계대배양 후 유식물의 생육에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 배지 내 펩톤과 트립톤의 첨가는 발아에 영향을 주지는 않았지만, 당의 함량은 그 농도가 10g/L까지 증가함에 따라 발아율을 높였다. 또한 발아 후 유식물의 생육시 당의 첨가는 뿌리의 생육을 두드러지게 향상시켰으며, 생체중도 거의 2~3배정도 많았다. 하이포넥스 배지(대조구)에서는 높은 발아율을 보였지만 유식물의 생육은 트립톤 첨가배지(2g/L)에서 많았는데 엽수, 뿌리수, 엽장 근장, 생체중 등이 모두 다른 처리구의 2~3배에 이르는 초기생육을 보였다. 계대배양 이후의 생육상은 펩톤 첨가배지에서 가장 많은 생육량을 보였는데 특히 엽장과 엽폭 그리고 근장이 다른 처리구보다 월등히 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 생체중도 한 개체당 0.18g으로 가장 높게 나타나 펩톤의 첨가가 계대배양 이후의 생육을 크게 촉지시키는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 하이포넥스 배지에 트립톤 2g/L를 첨가하였을 때 발아율과 유식물의 생육이 다른 배지에 대해 매우 양호한 것으로 나타나 자생 자란의 종자발아용 배지로 가장 적당한 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 이후 계대배양시에는 펩톤의 첨가 (3g/L)가 유식물의 생육을 가장 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다.

To monitor vegetation structure of evergreen broad-leaved forest, twenty plots were set up at Wando Arboretum in 1996. Twenty plots were divided into ten experimental plots and control plots. A few evergreen broad-leaved species were planted after selective cutting at ten experimental plots. Dominant species of twenty plots were Quercus acuta, Q. acuta and Carpinus tschonoskii, Pinus densiflora, etc.. Vegetation structure of the experimental plots showed seral stage of succession from P. densiflora community or deciduous broad-leaved forest to Q. acuta community. Dominant species of the experimental plots were changed to Q. acuta or P. densiflora after selective cutting. And a number of species and individuals, coverages etc. were increased at shrub and ground cover layer after treatment.

Thirty-two plots have been set up and surveyed to investigate the plant community structure and distribution density of Pinus thunbergii-P. densiflora forest in Kojedo District, Hallyo-Haesang National Park. By DCA ordination technique P. thunbergii-P. densiflora forest was classified into P. thunbergii community, P. thunbergii-P. densiflora community, and P. densiflora community. The trend of plant community succession was invalid. The results of simple regression analysis between mean DBH(cm), mean distribution distance(m), and number of individual of P. thunbergii and P. densiflora were as follows: Distribution distance(m) = 0.094$\times$DBH(cm)-0.1248, Number of individual=1,820.1$\times$(cm)$DBH^{-1.6734}$ , Distribution distance(m)=6.6805$\times$Number of $individual^{-0.5425}$ .
