The Tracksite of Cretaceous Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs in Jeongchon, Jinju was discovered in late 2017 during the construction of the Ppuri industry complex. This site is a natural heritage site with a high paleontological value, as it preserves fossils of various types of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and animal traces at a dense concentration. In this study, we surveyed that physical weathering such as joint, crack, scaling, exfoliation, and fragmentation occurred through field research in the fossil site, and conducted basic research on conservation science to reduce the damage. To this end, among the eight levels identified after excavation, the rocks of Level 3, which yielded a large number of theropod footprint fossils, and Level 4, which yielded pterosaur footprint fossils, were analyzed for material characteristics and evaluation of the effectiveness of consolidation and adhesion. This results showed that the rocks in the Level 3 stratum were dark gray siltstone and the rocks in the Level 4 stratum were dark gray shale, which contained a large amount of calcite and were composed of quartz, plagioclase, mica, alkali feldspar, and other clay minerals, which are likely to be damaged by rainfall under external conditions. As a result of conducting an artificial weathering experiment by dividing the probationary sample into four groups: untreated, consolidation treatment, anti-swelling treatment, and adhesive treatment, the consolidation and the swelling inhibitor showed an effect immediately after treatment, but did not show a blocking effect under a freezing-thawing environment. The adhesive showed that the adhesive effect was maintained even under freezing-thawing conditions. In order to preserve the fossil sites at Jeongchon in the future, in addition to temporary measures to block the inflow of moisture, practical measures such as the construction of protective facilities should be prepared.

Weather is one of the important factors in the agricultural industry as it affects the price, production, and quality of crops. Upland crops are directly exposed to the natural environment because they are mainly grown in mountainous areas. Therefore, it is necessary to provide accurate weather for upland crops. This study examined the effectiveness of 12 forest soil factors to interpolate the weather in mountainous areas. The daily temperature and precipitation were collected by the Korea Meteorological Administration between January 2009 and December 2018. The Generalized Additive Model (GAM), Kriging, and Random Forest (RF) were considered to interpolate. For evaluating the interpolation performance, automatic weather stations were used as training data and automated synoptic observing systems were used as test data for cross-validation. Unfortunately, the forest soil factors were not significant to interpolate the weather in the mountainous areas. GAM with only geography aspects showed that it can interpolate well in terms of root mean squared error and mean absolute error. The significance of the factors was tested at the 5% significance level in GAM, and the climate zone code (CLZN_CD) and soil water code B (SIBFLR_LAR) were identified as relatively important factors. It has shown that CLZN_CD could help to interpolate the daily average and minimum daily temperature for upland crops.

In this paper, the experiments with installing a rainfall storage tank in the sub-surface were conducted and the reduction rates of the total runoff volume were investigated. The analysis were conducted based upon the variations of the rainfall intensity, surface coverage and surface slope. The reduction rate of the runoff volume was varied from 42.3% to 52.9% with the soil in the bank of the Seung Gi stream. In the experiments, the rainfall intensities were varied from 40mm/hr to 100mm/hr and the results indicate that the direct runoff reduction can be obtained with the installation of the rainfall storage tank in the sub-surface. The variation of the stored volume in the tank is very large in the mild slope but very small in the steep slope with over 3% slope. With this results, the reduction of the direct runoff volume for the longtime flood is expected with the installation of the rainfall storage tank in the region haying the steep slope such as the mountain area.

강우레이더 관측의 정확도는, 호우의 강도나 형태와 같은 기상학적 조건(변동 오차 요소) 외에도, 관측 지점의 레이더로부터의 거리, 고도, 관측유역의 형태나 크기 등 다양한 관측환경 조건(고정 오차 요소)에 의해서도 달라질 수 있기 때문에, 강우레이더 관측의 오차 성분을 정량화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 거리와 고도에 의한 오차 특성을 이중편파 변수의 특성을 이용하여 실증적으로 분석하였고, 이를 통해 감쇠의 영향과 산지효과(또는 지형효과)로 인한 오차 규모를 정량적으로 산정 비교하였다. 거리가 멀어짐에 따라 고도도 높아지기 때문에 QPE 불확실도의 거리와 고도에 따른 성분을 구분하는 것은 매우 어려운데, 거리에 대한 불확실도 성분이 매우 작은 R(KDP)를 이용한다면 효과적으로 분리가 가능하다. 이러한 원리를 이용하여, 관측 거리에 따른 오차가 매우 작은 R(KDP)를 기준으로 관측 거리에 따른 오차와 고도에 따른 오차를 분리하여 표준화[Z-score] 하였다. R(Z)의 경우는 관측 고도와 거리에 따른 오차가 중첩되어 나타나나, R(KDP)는 거리에 따른 오차는 거의 나타나지 않으므로 이를 기본 가정으로 하여 R(Z)와 R(KDP) 관계로부터 관측 고도에 따른 오차 성분만 분리하였다. 분리 결과, 관측 거리에 따른 표준 오차의 경우 100km 까지는 대략 10%(0.1) 이하로 나타났으나, 150km 이상에서는 30%(0.3)를 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 관측 고도에 따른 표준 오차의 경우 2~3번째 고도각 까지는 대략10%(0.1) 이하로 나타났으나, 3번째 고도각 이상에서는 20%(0.2), 4번째 고도각 이상에서는 50%(0.5)를 초과하는 것으로 나타나, 고도에 의한 영향이 거리에 의한 영향보다 민감하게 나타났다. 1번째 고도각에서는, 100km 이내 근거리에서 관측 거리가 가까워질수록 오차가 증가하는 경향을 보이는데, 이는 저고도 빔 간섭(빔 차폐) 등의 영향으로 추정되었다.

This pot experiment was conducted te find out the effects of kieserite application ($T_1$; control, $T_2$; standard amount of $N-P_2$$O_{5}$ $-K_2$0, $T_3$; $T_2$+ kieserite) on the seedling vigour and yield of pass/clover mixed swards on newly reclaimed hilly soil. The results obtained are summarized as follows: At the $T_1$ treatment the seedling vigour and yield of mixed forages were very poor, whereas they were remarkedly enhanced by the treatments of $T_2$ and $T_3$. Comparing with the $T_2$ treatment the forage yields were increased 3.1% in orchardgrass, 27.5% in ladino clover, and 12.8% in mixed forages by the application of kieserite($T_3$). In the grass-clover mixed swards, the application of kieserite more remarkedly influenced the seedling vigour, botanical composition, and yield of clover than those of grass.

We evaluated the landscape ecological value of selected minefields and wetland patches as a habitat of the forest bird community. The avian fauna of three minefields of 8.5ha, 17.4ha, and 40.6ha were evaluated by comparing that of three control sites of mountain area. Average number of forest bird species, number of individuals, species diversity index, species richness, and species evenness were analyzed according to the size of patch and environmental characteristics such as the presence of wetland and connectivity. Community similarity was evaluated between test and control plots. Avian fauna can be summarized as follows. First, 63 species were recorded, and the sum of maximum counts was 828 individuals. Species diversity index was 3.8, and the species richness was 9.2. Species evenness was 93.3. Second, small, isolated forest patch had a low average number of species and individuals as expected. But, small forest patches with streams had higher bird density than patches without water surface. Third, forest patches with marsh wetland were evaluated as lower habitat quality than forest patches with stream wetland in terms of the number of bird species per unit area, number of individuals per unit area, species diversity index, species richness index, and species evenness. Finally, Community similarity of the small forest patches with streams was similar with large connected forest. As a result, lowland forest patch was shown the good quality for the forest bird community in spite of small extents, and community structure was similar with mountain forest bird community. Thus, riparian forest restoration could improve the biodiversity of the forest bird community.

It is difficult to generate DTM using aerial photographs because trees usually cover disaster occurred areas. So, this study proposed how to filter by moving window using digital aerial photographs and generate accurate DTM. The results were compared with those of adaptive filtering by commercial digital photogrammetry software (Socet set) to find out the effect of tree removal by window size in forest soil sediment disaster. And then they were compared with DTM generated from LiDAR data. As a result, it was showed that the accuracy of moving filtering DTM was lower than that of LiDAR DTM while it was higher by 6m than that of Adaptive filtering.

토석류는 기본적으로 강우에 기인하는 산지재해이다. 따라서 국토의 64%가 산지인 동시에 여름철 강우가 집중되는 우리나라의 특성상 토석류가 발생할 가능성이 상당히 크다. 또한 최근 높은 인구밀도로 인하여 불가피하게 토석류 발생 시 큰 인명피해마저 우려되고 있는 실정이다. 토석류저감을 위해서 FLO-2D, RAMMS, DEBRIS-2D 등의 다양한 수치해석 프로그램들이 개발되어왔다. 이러한 프로그램들을 통해 토석류를 해석하려면 조사하려는 지역의 지형자료를 습득하는 것이 선행되어져야 한다. 하지만 토석류 재해지역의 접근성 및 위험성을 감안할 때 해당 지역으로의 접근이 곤란하여 지형자료를 직접 얻는 것은 어려운 경우가 대부분이다. 본 연구에서는 토석류 재해 위험지역에서 드론촬영을 실시하여 후처리 프로그램을 통해 해당 지역의 DEM을 생성하였다. 생성한 DEM이 효용가치를 지니려면 실제 지형과의 차이를 최소한으로 가져야 한다. 따라서 드론촬영으로 생성한 DEM을 수치지도를 통해 생성한 DEM과 비교하여 좌표의 편차, 고도의 편차 등을 계산하였다. 또한 각각의 DEM 자료에 FLO-2D를 적용하여 토석류 재해 위험지역에 설치된 사방시설의 저감능력을 확인해보았다. 두 DEM의 비교분석을 통해 드론촬영으로 생성한 DEM이 충분한 실용성을 지니고 있음을 확인하였고, 또한 해당 지점에 설치된 사방시설의 저감능력을 다방면으로 확인할 수 있었다. 연구결과, 현재 급부상하고 있는 드론을 통해 사방사업을 효율적으로 진행할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이는 토석류 저감 부문에서 큰 효과를 발휘할 것으로 기대된다.
