Tree in river have environmental functions such as ecosystem preservation and flood control functions that protect the riverbank. On the other hand, excessive tree development can have the negative effect of fixing the sand bar and reducing the cross-sectional area. Nays2D simulation results performing two flow conditions (average dam operation discharge and two-year frequency discharge) and four tree density conditions (current, zero, low, high tree density) used as input data for PHABSIM to calculate WUA (Weighted Usable Area). The results show that riverbed changes occur more significantly in the zero tree density than presence of trees, which could have a positive impact on the biological habitat environment of Zacco platypus.

The primary factors of the LOS(Line-of-Sight) analysis process are terrain height, camera capacity, and canopy cover. The canopy cover rate differs depending on the changing season, and its value is influenced by the tree density, tree height, and etc. This study generated the canopy cover value based on relationship between NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and DMT(Density Measure % of Tree/Canopy Cover), which is a digital map attribute, and then performed the LOS analysis on six station of test sites. As results, It was found that NDVI and DMT are correlated with each other through the experiments. Based on this finding, new DMT map can be generated using NDVI. Also, There is a difference between the result of visibility analysis using the present DMT and one using a new DMT. Especially, the spatial distributions of the detected visible areas are significantly different between the two visibility analysis results.

Riverine tree management is crucial in realizing a balance between flood control and ecological preservation, which requires an accurate assessment of the impact of trees on river water elevations. In this study, eight different formulas for evaluating vegetation roughness considering the drag force acting on trees, were reviewed, and the characteristics and applicability of these methods were evaluated from a practical engineering perspective. The study compared the characteristics of vegetation roughness measurement methods for calculated roughness coefficients at different water depths and analyzed factors such as effects of tree canopy width, tree density and diameter, and tree stiffness coefficient, and water level estimation results. A comparison of roughness coefficients at the same water depths revealed that the Kouwen and Fathi-Moghadam formulas and the Fischenich formula yield excessive drag coefficients compared to other formulas. Factors such as channel geometry, tree diameter, and tree density showed varying trends depending on the formula but did not exhibit excessive outliers. Formulas considering the tree stiffness coefficient, such as the Freeman et al.'s formula and the Whittaker et al.'s formula, showed significant variations in drag coefficients depending on the stiffness coefficient. When applied to small- and medium-sized virtual rivers in South Korea using the drag coefficient results from the eight formulas, the results indicated a maximum increase in water level of approximately 0.2 to 0.4 meters. Based on this review, it was concluded that the Baptist et al., Huthoff et al., Cheng, Luhar, and Nepf's formulas, which exhibit similar characteristics and low input data uncertainties, are suitable for practical engineering applications.

Since the landslide hazard areas prediction was analyzed by slope-angle and soil properties, regional characteristics is not taken. Therefore, in order to make more rational prediction, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of the region. Tree roots have been known to increase soil cohesion in landslide hazard areas and to vary the degrees depending on the tree type. In addition, a reasonable prediction of landslide hazard areas can be made by considering crown density based on crown distribution patterns of the area of interest. In this study, using the roots cohesion considering the crown density of the trees, which is in the landslides risk areas around Mt. Gwehwa in Sejong City, the landslides risk areas were predicted and compared with predicted results obtained by not considering root cohesion.

수목에 있어서 해충방제란 인간에게 경제적 손실을 초래하고 해충의 활동을 억제하는 것으로서, 수목 해충의 밀도 개체수를 일정한 수준 이하로 조절하는 것을 의미한다. 즉 유해한 생물이 존재하더라도 그 밀도가 인간에게 심각한 피해를 줄 정도가 아니면 굳이 시간과 경비를 투자하여 방제 작업을 수행할 필요가 없다. 어떤 해충의 밀도가 점점 높아져서 이들에 의한 피해를 방치 하였을 때 예상되는 손실액이 방제에 소요될 제반 비용보다 높을 경우에는 방제 수단을 적용해야 할 것이며, 이러한 해충에 의한 손실액과 방제비용이 같을 때의 해충밀도를 경제적 피해수준이라고 한다. 따라서 경제적 피해수준을 경계로 하여 방제를 할 것인가 말 것인가를 결정하게 되며 조경수의 경우에는 경관미적 가치도 이러한 경제적 피해수준에 반영되어야 한다고 생각된다. 해충의 방제법을 대별하여 보면 기계적 방제법, 물리적 방제법, 화학적 방제법, 생물학적 방제법, 임업적 방제법, 페로몬과 기타 생리활성물질을 이용한 방제법, 법적 방제법으로 분류할 수 있다. 그러나 최근의 수목해충 방제는 화학적 방제 일변도의 방제가 이루어지고 있기 때문에 환경오염 등 생태환경에 영향을 주고 있는 상황에 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본다면 수목해충 방제는 여러 가지의 방제법을 적지 적소에 활용할 수 있는 종합적인 방제방법이 필요한 시점이라고 할 수 있다. 특히 화학적 방제를 할 시의 주의점 등 각각의 방제법에 대하여는 추후 살펴보도록 하겠으며, 본 지면에서는 직접적 방제법인 기계적 방제법과 물리적인 방제법에 대하여 소개하도록 하겠다.

The purpose of this study is to develop a model for the density management of planting sites and an additional model for new planting sites. In the Dongtan New Town of Hwaseong, there are buffer green spaces, with widths between 8m and 15m, between roads and apartment complexes. A total 38 survey plots were set to examine the planting patterns and the density of landscape trees. The Crown Overlapping Index (COI) was developed to assess the level of overcrowding as far as tree growth and development effectively. Pinus strobus recorded the most serious level of overcrowding growth and development. Its average density and average COI were very high at $0.3trees/m^2$ and 35.6%, respectively. There were many areas in which its COI was above 45%. The criteria for density management were set by standardizing the COI into three levels, which were above 45% (Type A), 30~45% (Type B), and under 30% (Type C). A model was proposed to manage poorly growing trees and to develop a model to select and manage trees of similar specification based on the planting patterns. The trees of density management areas were reviewed in terms of tree types and the ease of transplanting to establish an application system for the management plans according to the possibility of transplanting, thinning, and pruning. In new buffer green spaces, the planting density of Pinus strobus was lowered to $0.20{\sim}0.25trees/m^2$, with that of shrubs being reduced to $1.5{\sim}2.0trees/m^2$, leading to a planting design model to cover the lower parts in at least 30~40%.

본 연구는 식생밀도와 흐름에 따른 수치모형(Nays2D) 하상변동 모의 결과를 서식처 적합도 분석 모델(PHABSIM:Phsical Habtiat Suitability Model)의 입력자료로 활용하여, 식생밀도에 따른 하상 지형 변화가 어류 서식처 적합도에 미치는 영향을 검토한다. 금강 부용리 인근 2km를 대상으로 2차원 모형인 Nays2D를 적용하여 흐름(댐 방류량, 2년 빈도 유량, 100년 빈도 유량 등)과 식생밀도(식생미반영, 현재 밀도, 밀도 감소, 밀도 증가 등)에 따른 하상변동 모의를 실시하였고, 모의 결과값(단면 표고, 유속, 수위)을 물리적 서식처 평가 모델인 PHABSIM의 입력자료로 활용하였다. 피라미 서식을 위한 적정 유속과 수심의 서식처 적합도 지수를 이용하여 각 시나리오 별가중가용면적(WUA: Weighted Usable Area)을 산정하여 비교 분석하여, 식생밀도에 따른 단면 구조의 변화가 WUA 면적과 피라미 서식처 적합도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 검토하였다. 그 결과, 수목 밀도를 미반영한 하상변동 모의 결과를 PHABSIM의 입력 자료로 활용하였을 때 가중가용면적이 가장 높았고, 식생 밀도를 증가시킨 하상변동 모의 결과를 입력 자료로 활용하였을 때 WUA값이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 이는 피라미의 서식처 적합도 측면에서 식생이 적어 특정 유량에 따른 하상변동의 폭이 커지면서 저수로 최저하상과 고수부 하상과의 표고차가 상대적으로 낮은 하상 단면이 피라미의 서식처 측면에서 유리할 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

This study spatially assesses the impact of trees on residential rooftop solar energy potential using urban three-dimensional models derived from Light Detection and Ranging(LiDAR) data in San Francisco, California. In recent years on-site solar energy generation in cities has become an essential agenda in municipal climate action plans. However, it can be limited by neighboring environments such as shade from topography, buildings and trees. Of all these effects, the impact of trees on rooftop photovoltaics(PVs) requires careful attention because improper situation of solar panels without considering trees can result in inefficient solar energy generation, tree removal, and/or increasing building energy demand and urban heat island effect. Using ArcMap 9.3.1, we calculated the incoming annual solar radiation on individual rooftops in San Francisco and the reduced insolation affected by trees. Furthermore, we performed a multiple regression analysis to see what attributes of trees in a neighborhood(tree density, tree heights, and the variance of tree heights) affect rooftop insolation. The result shows that annual total residential rooftops insolation in San Francisco is 18,326,671 MWh and annual total light-loss reduction caused by trees is 326,406 MWh, which is about 1.78%. The annual insolation shows a wide range of values from $34.4kWh/m^2/year$ to $1,348.4kWh/m^2/year$. The result spatially maps the locations that show the various levels of impact from trees. The result from multiple regression shows that tree density, average tree heights and the variation of tree heights in a neighborhood have statistically significant effects on the rooftop solar potential. The results can be linked to municipal energy planning in order to manage potential conflicts as cities with low to medium population density begin implementing on-site solar energy generation. Rooftop solar energy generation makes the best contribution towards achieving sustainability when PVs are optimally located while pursuing the preservation of urban trees.
