This study intended to investigate the environmental factors including soil and vegetation in order to understand the environmental and ecological characteristics of seven different habitats of Viola websteri. These habitats, according to investigations, are mostly located on the slope of mountains facing north at an altitude of 343 m to 991 m above sea level with angle of inclination from 1 degree to 33 degrees. The type of soil is mostly sandy loam and the average field capacity of soil is 28.97%. Their average organic matter is 16.63%, soil pH 5.62, and available phosphorus is 14.75%. A total of 133 vascular plants are identified in 18 quadrates of seven habitats. Dominant species of woody plants in seven habitats are represented as Acer pictum subsp. mono and Quercus mongolica in tree layer, and Acer pictum subsp. mono in subtree layer. Importance value of Viola websteri is 9.66%, as regards the herbaceous layer, and five highly ranked species such as Meehania urticifolia(8.53%), Pseudostellaria heterophylla(6.51%), Hylomecon vernalis(5.15%), Oxalis obtriangulata (4.52%), and Pseudostellaria davidii(4.15%) are considered to be an affinity with Viola websteri in their habitats. The degree of their average species diversity is 1.32, and that of dominance and evenness are 0.08 and 0.89, respectively. Correlation coefficients analysis based on environmental factors, vegetation and soil analysis shows that the coverage of Viola websteri is correlated with silt and sand ratio, and coverage of tree layers are correlated with species richness and altitude. Cluster analysis based on vegetation structure of each habitats are forms a three groups.

This study was conducted to survey vegetation changes and soil characteristics in Saemangeum new reclaimed tidal land. Soil salinity in border area to tidal land was 22.3 dS $m^{-1}$ but showed 1.1~3.44 dS $m^{-1}$ over the distance of 2 km from border line. The vascular plants in survey sites were recorded as total 26 taxa in 6 families. The frequency of species appearance of Aster tripolium, A. subulatus var. sandwicensis were highest by 61.5 and that of Phragmites communis, Puccinellia nipponica were 53.8. The almost vegetations occurred in the patch which range of soil salinity 14 dS $m^{-1}$ were halophytes as Salicornia europaea, Suaeda asparagoides, S. japonica. As lowed soil salinity as 6.7 dS $m^{-1}$, mixed vegetation of halophytes with P. communis, P. nipponica, Carex pumila were occurred. Dominant species in the range of 3.0 dS $m^{-1}$ area were A. subulatus var. sandwicensis, P. communis, Echinochloa spp., Zoysia sinica and Conyza canadensis. Biomass production was the highest in the area of dominant vegetation with P. communis, and mixed zone with P. communis and Aeschynomene indica are followed. The correlation between vegetation biomass and soil salinity, soil pH and dominance index of vegetation were negative. But that of vegetation biomass and soil organic content were positive.

The surfgrass Phyllospadix japonicus is a dominant seagrass species playing critical ecological roles on the eastern coast of Korea. However, few studies have been conducted on the ecological characteristics of this species, generally due to the turbulent water conditions in its habitat. In this study, to examine the growth dynamics of P. japonicus, we investigated monthly changes in morphological characteristics, density, biomass, and leaf productivity as well as changes in the underwater irradiance, water temperature, and water column nutrient concentrations of its habitat from August 2017 to July 2018. Underwater irradiance and water temperature showed clear seasonal changes increasing in spring and summer and decreasing in fall and winter. Nutrient availability fluctuated substantially, but did not display any distinct seasonal trend. Morphological characteristics, shoot density, biomass, and leaf productivities of P. japonicus exhibited significant seasonal variations, increasing in spring and decreasing in fall months. Spadix of P. japonicus occurred from March to August, with the maximum spadix percentage(15.8%) occurred in May 2018. The average leaf productivity of P. japonicus per shoot and area were 2.1 mg sht^-1 d^-1 and 7.5 g m^-2 d^-1, respectively. The optimum water temperature for the growth of P. japonicus in this study was between 13-14℃. The productivity of P. japonicus was not correlated with underwater irradiance, water temperature and nutrient concentrations. These results suggest that the study site provide sufficient amount of underwater irradiance, suitable water temperature range and nutrients for the growth of P. japonicus.

The degree of their average species diversity is 1.30, and that of dominance and evenness are 0.08 and 0.88, respectively. The type of soil is sandy loam, loam and loamy sand, and the average field capacity of soil is 23.95%. Their average organic matter is 12.28%, soil pH 5.79, and available phosphorus is 25.48%. Correlation coefficients analysis based on environmental factors, vegetation and soil analysis shows that the coverage of tree layers is correlated with richness, diversity, dominance, evenness and coverage of $H.$ $asiatica$.

우리나라 하천 생태계에서 외래어종은 토착 어류의 개체수를 빠르게 감소시키고 서식처에서 우점종이 되어 생태계 교란을 야기하고 있다. 이러한 현안의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 외래어종과 관련된 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 대표적 외래어종인 배스와 블루길을 대상으로 수온에 따른 서식처 형성을 관찰한다. 그 후 계절별로 형성된 서식처 안에서 수온을 조절하여 외래어종의 생태환경에 따른 민감성을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 수행하였다. 실험실 연구를 진행하는 동안 외래어종이 서식처를 형성할 때 민감하게 반응하는 수온 차가 계절에 따라 달라짐을 발견하였다. 이 사실을 증명하기 위해 농업용 저수지로부터 채집한 배스와 블루길을 길이 12 m, 깊이 0.6 m, 폭 1 m의 하천과 유사한 자연적 환경이 갖추어진 수조에 이식한 후, 외래어종이 서식처를 형성할 때 계절에 따라 어떻게 반응하는지 면밀히 관찰하였다. 수조를 3개의 구역으로 나누어 좌측 끝단을 히터를 설치한 온수대, 우측 끝단을 냉각기를 설치한 냉수대, 중앙은 온도 조절장치를 설치하지 않은 중수대로 구분하여 실험하였고 계절 마다 수온을 조절하며 수온 차와 서식처 형성의 상관성 분석이 진행되었다. 실험 진행 시 수온을 제외한 수조 안 환경은 동일하게 유지하였다. 실험 결과, 동계에는 실험실 수조의 평균 수온이 $12.88^{\circ}C$이고 어류는 각 구간별 수온의 차이가 $1^{\circ}C$ 이하에도 민감하게 반응하며 조금이라도 수온이 높은 구역에 서식처를 형성하였다. 춘계에는 평균 수온 $16.15^{\circ}C$가 되면서 어류가 온수대에 서식처를 형성하기는 하나 각 구간별 $1^{\circ}C$ 정도의 차이에는 중수대까지 서식처를 형성하였다. 즉 동계보다는 수온 차이에 둔감하게 반응하는 특성을 보였다. 또한 춘계에서 하계로 넘어가는 과도기에 수조의 평균 수온이 $21^{\circ}C$로 올라가자 외래어종은 각 구간별 수온 차이와는 관계없이 이미 서식처로 형성했던 온수대를 넘어 수조 전체에 좀 더 확산된 형태의 서식처를 형성하였다. 하계에는 수조의 평균 수온이 $25.67^{\circ}C$였으며 수온을 조절하여 관찰한 결과 외래어종은 약 $24^{\circ}C$ 수온보다 낮은 냉수대에 서식처를 뚜렷하게 형성하는 모습을 보였다. 즉 외래어종은 $20{\sim}24^{\circ}C$ 정도의 수온에 서식처를 가장 선호 하며 동계에는 수온이 가장 높은 곳, 하계에는 가장 낮은 곳에 형성하는 것으로 판단된다. 실험을 진행하는 동안 수조 내 구역의 구분을 위해 공통으로 설치된 가림판 부근에 외래어종의 군락이 형성된 것을 통해, 향후에는 외래어종의 서식처 형성과 장애물과 같은 지형적인 요인이 미치는 영향에 관한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This experiment was conducted to determine the influence of weed competition in sesame and the periods for weed control. Competition periods (days), for which sesame was seeded under transparent polyethylene film at May 15, were 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and full growth season of sesame. Weed control periods (days), for which sesame was seeded under black polyethylene film at June 15, were 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, and full growth season of sesame. Dominant weeds were Ponulaca oleracea, Digitaria sanguinalis, Acalypha australis, L. Cyperus arnuricus, Arenaria aesrphllifolia, Cardamine flexucosa, Mollugo Stricta and Digitaria eschaemum. The number of weeds was maximum at the 30 days after planting. Broad leaf weeds were dominant than grass weeds, and then decreased the total number of weeds by the reason of major decrease of broad leaf weeds. However, the weight of weeds increased continuously. No weeds appeared until the 15 days after planting and the weight of broad leaf weeds was heavier than that of grass weeds until 45 days after planting. However, grass weeds were heavier than broad leaf weeds after 60 days after planting. The hazards of weeds on the growth and development appeared seriously from the 60 to 75 days after planting, but main yield reduction appeared from 30 days after planting. Therefore once more hand weeding should be practiced within 30 days after planting to minimize yield decrease. Serious hazards by weed growing appeared by removing black PE film after 15 to 30 days after planting in growth characteristics and 30 days later in grain yield. Leaf growth showed maximum from 45 to 60 days after planting and then decreased as compared with the continuous increase of stem and root in optimum planting, transparent PE film mulch and hand weeding. Leaf growth didn't show reducing in PE film mulch and weedy check but total weight of weeds increased and growth of sesame decreased as compared to PE film mulch and hand weeding. Leaf, stem and root growth of sesame, and weed weight under black PE film mulch showed same tendancy and lower growth of sesame as compared with optimum planting, transparent PE film mulch. Correlation between sesame yield and weeds weight were r =$ -0.874^{**}$ in the optimum planting and r = $-0.712^{**}$ in the late planting, so that the more weeds increase, the lesser sesame yield.
