This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ecological factors affecting Pinus densiflora forest distribution associated with climate change in the future. Ecological niche is used as a method to quantify the position occupied in biological communities, space, influence and all ecological factors. Ecological niche breadth was analyzed on meteorological and growth factors of P. densiflora. Nine sites (i.e., Gangneung, Jeongseon, Pyeongchang, Hamyang, Bonghwa, Yeongyang, Uljin, Uiseong and Boseong) were selected to set $20m{\times}20m$ quadrat from September to October 2010. The height, DBH, clearlength, crown width and basal area were measured at each quadrat and used as growth factors. In addition, the measured values from the closest weather stations of each survey area of the maximum, mean and minimum temperature, humidity and precipitation were used as meteorological factors. The ecological niche breadth of the five meteorological factors except humidity was low. It is considered that precipitation could effect on the distribution of P. densiflora forest. In particular, maximum temperature showed low ecological niche breadth less than 0.4 in most of the survey areas. However, the ecological niche breadth of the five growth factors was high in all survey areas.

This study was conducted from July to December 2004, in order to find measures to improve the water quality and the function of pond ecosystems which are often negatively affected by phytoplankton and suspended particle matters. Most of the time, the management of ponds in Korea does not consider the ecological concepts such as self-purification and nutrient recycling. Instead, conventional methods depend on other factors such as fish farming and the function of fountains and waterfalls. Sustainability of pond ecosystems must be studied with the highest emphasis given to water quality. Water discharges of inflow and outflow as well as balance adjustment for different factors must be thoroughly studied. There is a great need for studies on sustainability because it can be realized through the horizontal or vertical balances of an ecosystem. Our current research offers useful information to the academia and public on maintaining sustainability in terms of structure and function of the pond.

The purpose of this study was to explore the ecological aesthetic features and the implications for ecological landscape design by analyzing the design philosophy and ecological artworks of Patricia Johanson, an ecological artist. Literature review and a field visit were conducted to investigate Johanson's four art projects that express the functional purpose, artistry, and locality of symbiosis with nature and restoration of ecosystem habitats. As the results of analysis, first, Johanson's work created 'functional art work' and 'artistic infrastructure'. Second, the historical and regional characteristics were expressed artistically and symbolically. Third, Johanson is characterized by connecting humans and nature through the publicity of works of art, and raising the awareness of preservation of nature and environment among the community and children. Johanson's innovative works can provide inspiration for landscape architects pursuing functional and sustainable landscape design.

Integrated pest management system in Korean apple has significantly advanced for last few decades. However harmful effects of pesticides threats the ecosystem services of natural enemies and pollinators. Apple require cross-pollination and Insect pollination with diversity and abundance is one of the keys to profitable apple production in quantity and quality as well. Thus crop protection tools are to be administered in harmony to meet the pest suppression and protection of beneficial organisms such as natural enemies and pollinators. Adding onto the established IPM system, integrated pollinator-pest management (IPPM) concept is proposed as the future direction of apple IPM. For this, ecological enginnering of creating habitats for pollinators, landscape management and agroecosytem diversification as well as selective soft pesticide uses on time guided by pest monitoring and phenologyand targeted delivery are further proposed. Recent shift of agroecosystem from climate change and new pest outbreaks require new paradigm of pest management for sustainable agricultural production.

한정된 물자원을 가장 효율적으로 공급, 이용 및 보존하기 위한 수단으로서 통합수자원관리(IWRM: integrated water resources management)의 필요성이 전 세계적으로 급속히 확산되고 있다. '생태계의 지속가능성을 저해하지 않으면서 사회ㆍ경제적 복지를 극대화할 수 있도록 물과 토지 및 관련 자원들의 조화로운 개발과 관리를 촉진하는 과정'(Global Water Partnership, 2000)으로 정의되는 통합수자원관리는 해당 국가 또는 유역이 처해 있는 수량ㆍ수질환경 문제의 특성, 관련 제도의 안정성, 공공부문과 민간부문의 상대적 우위와 특성, 문화적 배경 등 다양한 요소에 따라 그 목적과 접근방법을 달리 할 수도 있다. 즉, 미국 TVA에서는 유역의 홍수관리, 내륙주운, 전력생산 등을 위해 수자원과 토지이용 등을 포함한 유역의 자원통합관리를 수행하고 있으며, 미국 환경청(US EPA) 차원에서는 수질 및 하천생태계 차원의 수계관리를 유역통합관리라고 부르기도 한다.(중략)

Domestic agricultural and forest management suffers disturbances arising from rapid economic, social and environmental changes including climate change. Sustainable management has emerged as a key to overcoming these challenges. From the domestic and international viewpoint, we have identified mainly three (i.e. indicator, accounting, and ecological) approaches to sustainable management of agricultural and forest ecosystems. Compared to persistent investment in indicator and accounting approaches, we find the paucity of the domestic efforts in ecological approach. The latter approach can be facilitated based on the long-term meteorological and flux data including the ecosystem-level energy, matter and information flows, which have been monitored and managed by Korea Meteorological Administration, Rural Development Administration and Korea Forest Service. In order to keep up with vigorous international efforts toward sustainable ecosystem management, more interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborations among diverse domestic sectors and institutes are essential.

A cultural landscape results from a combination of human activities for resource-use and the response of nature to such artificial interference. Nature provides resources necessary for human life on the Earth in terms of his survival as well as living. Humanbeing has developed civilization using the benefits that nature provides. In the past, a harmonious relationship between mankind and nature had ensured sustainability of resource-use for human. We can find such facts from the existence of cultural landscape. However, rapid economic growth and a development-oriented logic caused from such socio-economic change led to the environmental crises and the depletion of various resources at global level. In the perspective of preparation for such problems, we investigated the background for establishment, function, and value of cultural landscapes, in which a dynamic equilibrium exists between a supply of natural resources and human needs. Furthermore, we discussed a new economic model including ecological consideration, a strategy for ecological management of environment, and a framework for transmission of traditional culture to new generations on the basis of a cultural landscape regime.
