The growth of trees planted through transplantation rapidly decreases immediately after planting due to extreme disturbances such as root cutting and crown damage. Although the growth rate is recovered as time elapses, the time required to restore the original growth varies by species. Therefore, it is necessary to set an appropriate tree management period for survival after transplantation by analyzing each species' annual growth change. In this study, we analyzed the growth amount of deciduous broad-leaf species planted in the area where the riparian ecological belt was formed and proposed the management period based on the results. Slowed growth immediately after planting is a common phenomenon due to root cutting and pruning, the pre-works performed to increase tree survival rate during the transplantation process. Afterward, the original growth rate is recovered as time passes, but the time required may vary depending on the species and planting environment. Most of the trees showed a rapid decrease in growth immediately after transplantation. After that, although it is different for each species, most of them showed a gradual recovery from 2 years onwards. The analysis of the growth rate by tree species confirmed that it took 2 to 4 years, depending on the tree species, to recover the growth level before transplantation after a rapid decrease in growth immediately after transplantation. The results suggest that improving the defect rate of planted trees is necessary to meet the project objectives: ecological restoration and pollutant reduction. It requires setting a tree management period of at least two years and creating an appropriate base environment.

The objective of this study was to improve the performance of the existing individual-tree/distantindependent stand growth model in predicting the growth of Pinus koraiensis forest stands. The parameters of diameter growth and mortality prediction models were estimated using periodic annual increment (PAI) of permanent plots and the performance of the models were compared with that of the existing ones using mean anuual increment (MAI). The diameter growth model includes crown ratio, potential diameter growth and modifier to compute for competitions of trees of a stand. In deriving the mortality prediction model, the parameters were estimated based on PAI which was also estimated as the function of MAI due to the lacking of permanent plot data. The results of this study showed that the newly-estimated functions based on PAI provide more realistic patterns in diameter growth of individual trees. The new approach using PAI in mortality model seems to overcome the over-estimate problem by the MAI-based model in estimating mortality of stand trees.

본 연구는 자연생태계 소목의 생장에 따른 탄소저장 및 흡수량 지표를 도출하고 용인시를 대상으로 임상유형의 영급별 탄소저장 및 흡수를 계량하였다. 침엽수 1주당 탄소저장 및 흡수량은 중부와 남부의 생장지역간 유의한 차이가 없었으나(p>0.05). 활엽수의경우는 남부지역에서 중부지역보다 더욱 많았다. 수목 1주당 탄소저장 및 흡수량은 활엽수가 동일 직경의 침엽수보다 더욱 많았으며, 그 차이는 직경생장과 더불어 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 용인시 자연생태계의 단위면적당 평균 탄소저장 및 흡수량은 역시 영급이 높을수록 많았으며, II 영급을 제외한 동일 영급내에서는 침엽수림보다는 혼효림이, 혼효림보다는 활엽수림이 더욱 많았다. 중부지역에서 생장하는 흉고직경 20cm 의 활엽수 1주는 약 175리터의 휘발유 소비로 인하여 배출되는 탄소량을 저장하고, 1ha의 IV 영급 활엽수림은 시민 57명이 화석연료 소비로 연간 배출하는 탄소량을 저장하였다. 본 연구의 탄소저장 및 흡수 지표는 직경 생장에 따른 삼림수목의 대기탄소농도 저감 가치를 용이하게 추정하는데 활용될 수 있다.

This study analyzed the impact of climatic and topographic factors on tree radial growth of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. in central regions of Korea. To find the relationship between annual tree radial growth and climatic factors, we took the core samples from individual trees and measured the tree radial width. On the assumption that the tree radial growth is related to the tree age, we estimated the radial growth by the tree age as an independent variable. Also, we estimated the standard growth, defined as the radial growth of trees aged 30. As results, we found the spatial auto-correlation in the radial growth of the red pine. Moreover, we also found the relationships between climatic and topographic and the standard growth using the GAM (Generalized Additive Model). Increase of temperature has negative impacts on the radial growth of Pinus densiflora, while it has positive impacts on the radial growth of Quercus spp.. On the other hands, increase of precipitation has negative impacts on the radial growth of both species. Lastly, we predicted the spatial distribution changes of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. using the temperature increase scenario and the Geographic Information System (GIS) based forest type map. We could predict that Pinus densiflora is more vulnerable than Quercus spp. to climate change so that the habitats of Pinus densiflora will be gradually changed to the habitats of Quercus spp. in eastern coastal and southern regions of Korea after 60 years.

It is necessary to set a management period by analyzing growth trends for individual species because the time taken for planted trees to become established differs by species. The purpose of this study was to suggest an appropriate management period through the analysis of the annual growth of Pinus densiflora planted in the riverine eco belt. The average annual growth before planting was 0.6cm. The growth after planting showed an increase of 0.3cm in the 1st and 2nd year, 0.5cm in the 3rd and 4th year, and 0.7cm after the 5th year. Since P. densiflora was confirmed to go through poor growth stages in the 1st and 2nd year, a recovery stage in the 3rd and 4th year, and a normal growth stage in the 5th year, management should pay more attention to improve inappropriate environmental conditions until at least the 4th year, unlike the growth of hardwood. Since the period required for activation by species may vary, the management period of each species will need to be set through growth research.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of plant growth regulators, medium salt strength and nitrogen ratio on cell culture of Gymnema sylvestre. Cell growth was inhibited by 2,4-D higher than 1.0 mg L$^{-1}$, but not by kinetin lower than 0.5 mg L$^{-1}$. Maximal cell growth was obtained at 1.0 mg L$^{-1}$ 2,4-D and 0.1 mg L$^{-1}$ kinetin. Cell growth was greatest at 1x MS medium but high strength of MS medium inhibited cell growth due to low water potential in the medium. In $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$ ratio of 0:60 (i.e. 0.0 mM $^NH_4^+$ and 60.0 mM $NO_3^-$), cells growth was highest but cells were smaller and whiter compared with those in other $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$ ratio. Reduced cell growth was observed with continuous culture. These results suggested that optimal cell culture of G. sylvestre could be achieved with 1x MS medium with 20:40 ratio of $NH_4^+:NO_3^-$ supplemented with 1.0 mg L$^{-1}$ 2,4-D and 0.1 mg L$^{-1}$ kinetin.

Embryo tissue from Pinus koraiensis was established in culture on G.D. and W.S. basal medium supplemented with the auxin (NAA, 2,4-D, IBA) and kinetin. The various combinations of growth regulators were studied in order to determine the specific requirements of the callus tissue in vitro. The inorganic nutrient combination of G.D. medium was found to be better than that of W,S. medium. G,D. basal medium supplemented with 0.1 ppm NAA and 0.1 ppm kinetin was the most successful nutrient combination for the growth of callus induced from the embryo of P. koraiensis.

In this study we investigated the effects of the microclimatic conditions on tree growth in different site types for natural deciduous forests in Korea. First, we classified all the sites into 36 types according to their aspect (east, west, south, and north), elevation (higher than 1,000 m, 700$\sim$1,000 m, and lower than 700 m), and topographical conditions (ridge, slope, and valley). For each site type, we measured diameter growth with increment borer, and then estimated periodic annual increment of diameter, height and volume. We applied a topoclimatological technique for estimating microclimatic conditions, and produced monthly climatic estimates from which 17 weather variables (including indices of warmth, coldness, and aridity) were computed for each site type. The periodic annual increments of diameter, height, and volume were then correlated by regression analysis with those weather variables to examine effects of microclimate on tree growth by site type. We found that the correlation of diameter growth by site type was significantly correlated with most weather variables except daily photoperiod. Water condition was the most important factor for the height growth. For volume growth, on the other hand, the conditions such as relatively high temperature and low humidity provided favorable environment. Our regression analysis shows that aridity index is a good predictor for tree growth including diameter, height and volume increments.
