Drought brings on long term damage in contrast to flood, on economic loss in the region, and on ecologic and environmental disruptions. Drought is one of major natural disasters and gives a painful hardship to human beings. So we have tried to quantify the droughts for reducing drought damage and developed the drought indices for drought monitoring and management. The Palmer's drought severity index (PDSI) is widely used for the drought monitoring but it has the disadvanges and limitations in that the PDSI is estimated by considering just climate conditions as pointed out by many researchers. Thus this study uses the SWAT model which can consider soil conditions like soil type and land use in addition to climate conditions. We estimate soil water (SW) and soil moisture index (SMI) by SWAT which is a long term runoff simulation model. We apply the SWAT model to Soyang dam watershed for SMI estimation and compare SMI with PDSI for drought analysis. Say, we calibrate and validate the SWAT model by daily inflows of Soyang dam site and we estimate long term daily soil water. The estimated soil water is used for the computation of SMI based on the soil moisture deficit and we compare SMI with PDSI. As the results, we obtained the determination coefficient of 0.651 which means the SWAT model is applicable for drought monitoring and we can monitor drought in more high resolution by using GIS. So, we suggest that SMI based on the soil moisture deficit can be used for the drought monitoring and management.

The negative effects on ecosystem are getting serious due to the increase of particulate matters (PM) in the air by the increase of the number of population and the industrial activities. Thus, there have been a lot of environmental policies and researches of air purification system and filter mask to relieve the environmental problem. In this research, activated carbon impregnated cellulose acetate fiber filters produced using an electrospinning technique are studied for air purification. NaCl aqueous solution was used to generate PM and the humid air with NaCl PM was dried using a dehumidifier for the filter performance test. Filtration efficiency was increased with the increase of activated carbons, and acetone adsorption capacity was enhanced.

경기도 퇴촌에 위치한 경희대학교 연습림내의 낙엽송, 잣나무 및 굴참나무의 천연활엽수로 구성된 3개의 임반에서 경사도와 년간 강우량 변화에 따른 투수특성을 조사하였다. 3개의 임반의 O, A, B층은 3개 임반 모두 경사도가 낮은 하부사면에서 관찰되었으나 경사도가 높은 산사면이나 수간우가 많은 일부 지역에서는 바로 암반층 또는 풍화층이 나타나는 경향을 보이고 있다. 그러나 잣나무 임반은 유기물 퇴적층과 A층이 낙엽송이나 굴참나무 임반보다 잘 발달되어 O층은 약 5내지 10cm 정도이고 A층 또한 O층 아래로 약 50cm까지 깊게 발달되었다. 낙엽송 임반의 하부사면의 경우 A층의 발달이 약 35cm부터 약60cm 에 이르고 있으나 토성을 구성하는 요소중 직경 2mm 이상의 자갈에 토양입자들이 전체 토양의 40%정도를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 토층분화 특성을 달리하는 임반에서의 투수특성은 표층토에서는 약 5.2cm/hr였고 A층에서는 평균 8.2cm/hr 정도였다. 이는 A층에서의 토성이 주로 자갈로 구성되어 대공극을 이루고 있고 평균 부피수분함량이 약 25%인 점을 감안하면 상대 투수속도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 그리고 산지사면의 상부보다 상대투수속도가 증가되는 경향을 볼 수 있는데 이는 상부에서의 토층발달이 제대로 이루어지지 않아 투수속도에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 실험의 결과로 추정할 때 지표층에 존재하는 유기물과 토층 분화 정도가 투수에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

In order to provide the basic information for restoration of vegetation, conservation of rare species and maintenance of biodiversity, changes of site factors and vegetation by human trampling disturbance were investigated at the subalpine zone near the peak of Mt. Sorak in Korea. The destructed vegetation was found mainly in the southern parts with gentle slope in this study area. Height and coverage of vegetation and the species diversity decreased, and the community structure depended on trampling strength. Soil moisture, organic matter contents and litter thickness in the site with destructed vegetation by human trampling showed lower values than in the undisturbed site. Soil depth decreased, and gravel exposure on the ground surface increased by soil erosion responded to trampling strength.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes of flower properties due to decomposition in the course of time and results obtained are as follows; 1. The flower shape of Salix babylonica changed so rapid that it was difficult to recognize fragments after 40 days. 2. Total weight decreased by 50% after about 40 days. Loss on ignition changed rapidly for 40 days and then steadily. 3. Remaining carbon content decreased by a half only for first 20 days, then did steadily. 4. The content of phosphorus and total nitrogen slowly during the early period and then rapidly. 5. Above phenomena are supposed to be responisble for water content, nitrogen, and phosphorus.

The degree to which microenvironmental factors are linked to spatial patterns of vegetational factors within ecosystems has important consequences for our understanding of how ecosytems are structured and for conservation of rare species in ecosystems. We studied this relationships between the spatial patterns of microenvironmental factors and vegetational factors in temperate hardwood forest in Mt. Jumbong Biological Reserve Area, Korea. To do this, environmental and vegetational factors from 196 micropoints in a 0.49 ha plot were investigated. Most of all environmental factors and vegetational factors showed the variations among micropoints. Microtopographic factors, litter depth, soil moisture content and relative light intensity at this site were spatially dependent at a scale of 14∼62 m. Coverage of tree and shrub layer and species diversity of herb layer in autumn were spatially dependent at a scale of < 15 m. Species richness and species diversity of herb layer in spring and species richness of herb layer in autumn were spatially dependent at a scale of 28∼48 m. Multiple regression analysis showed that spatial patterns of species richness and species diversity of herb layer in spring and autumn were affected by litter depth, slope, subtree layer, shrub, Sasa borealis etc. The best predictor for the spatial patterns of species richness and species diversity of herb layer at this site was the spatial pattern of litter depth. Species richness and species diversity of herb layer showed strongly negative correlation with litter depth. We estimate that the spatial pattern of litter depth at this site were affected by direction of wind, microtopography and spatial pattern of shrub layer.

A simplified one-dimensional model STELLA was used to predict soil water movement in lllinois corn fields using soil water balance sheets. It offered the potential to increase understanding of soil nitrate and agrochemical leaching process. The model accounted for aU possible annual inputs and outputs of water from a closed ecosystem as represented by corn fields. Water inputs included precipitation, while outputs included runoff, transpiration, evaporation and drainage. To run the model required daily inputs of two climatic data measurements such as daily precipitation and pan evaporation. Vertical water flow through the soil profile was calculated with first order equation including the difference in hydraulic conductivity and matric potential at the various soil types. The output results included daily changes of water content in the soil layers and daily amount of water losses including run-off, percolation, transpiration. This model was verified using Illinois corn field data for the soil water content measured by neutron scattering methods through 1992 to 1994 growing seasons. Approximately 22 to 78% of simulated water contents agreed with the measured values and their standard deviation, depending on soil types, whereas 30 to 70% of simulated water values agreed with the measured values and their standard deviations depending on soil layers.

Water use efficiency (WUE) is the amount of carbon uptake per unit of water use, which is a key measure of the functions of terrestrial ecosystems, as it is related to both the hydrologic and carbon cycles. Furthermore, it can vary with many factors, such as climate conditions and land cover characteristics, in different regions. In this study, we aim to understand the spatial and temporal variations in WUE on the Korean Peninsula as well as the associated response to drought. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-derived gross primary productivity (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET) datasets and climate data were used to derive a drought index. Based on the monthly WUE, we found that WUE decreased during the monsoon summer in all regions and for all vegetation types. Furthermore, the annual WUE was negatively correlated with the drought index, with increasing correlation coefficients from the northern region to the southern region of the Korean Peninsula.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the hydrologic changes and the effect of runoff characteristics of a large river basin due to construction of a dam. The changes of land use and vegetation are quantified from remote sensing film taken before and after dam construction. Evapotranspiration, runoff and soil moisture were calculated using water balance equation. It was found that the albedo of watershed upstream of the dam is decreasing due to the decreasing of vegetation and the increasing of water surface and forest, and the increasing of potential evpotranspiration and soil moisture led to increasing actual evpotranspiration and runoff ratio after dam construction.

경기도 퇴촌에 위치한 경희대학교 연습림내의 경사도와 수종을 달리하는 3개의 서로 다른 임반에서 등고선을 따라 지표면의 토층분화를 조사하였고 이에 따른 수분침투특성을 조사하였다. 3개의 임반은 낙엽송, 잣나무 및 굴참나무의 천연활엽수로 구성되었고 이에 구성 수종에 따라 지표면에 퇴적되는 O, A, B층의 깊이를 달리한다. 토층분화 길이는 3개 임반 모두 경사도가 낮은 하부사면에서 양호하게 발달하였으며 경사도가 높은 산사면이나 수간우가 많은 일부 지역에서는 유거수에 의해 유기물이나 표층토가 유실되어 바로 암반층 또는 풍화층이 나타나는 경향을 보이고 있다. 그러나 잣나무 임반의 경우 밀식 수간에 의해 유기물퇴적층과 A층의 발달이 다른 낙엽송이나 굴참나무 임반보다 토층 발달 깊이가 약 2배 이상으로 깊게 발달되었다. 그리고 조사된 임반의 하부사면의 경우 A층의 발달이 약 35cm부터 약 60cm에 이르고 있으나 토성을 구성하는 요소 중 직경 2mm 이상의 자갈에 토양입자들이 전체 토양의 40%정도를 차지하고 있다. 이러한 토층분화 특성을 달리하는 임반에서의 수분 이동특성은 퇴적된 유기물의 두께가 깊으면 깊을수록 수분침투율은 낮아지는 반면 포면 유거수량은 증가하는 경향을 보여주고 있다. 그리고 지표면, 유기물 퇴적층 아래, 지표면으로부터 30cm 아래에 설치된 Lysimeter를 이용하여 조사된 침출수의 분포는 전체를 100으로 환산시 지표면은 약 55%, 유기물퇴적층 아래는 30%, 그라고 30cm의 위치에서는 나머지 15%정도의 침출수가 포집되었다. 따라서 본 실험의 결과를 살펴보았을 때 지표 층에 존재하는 유기물이 전체 수분이동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다.양 실험 결과, 서식지에서 조사된 결과인 잎과 줄기에서 Pb$\alpha$ 추정시에는 SeaWiFS 위성과 관련된 global algorithms 중에서 490nm와 555nm의 복합밴드를 포함하는 OC2 알고리즘(ocean color chlorophyll 2 algorithm)을 사용하는 것이 OC2 series 및 OC4 알고리즘보다 좋은 추정 값을 도출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.환경에서는 5일에서 7월에 주로 이 충체의 유충이 발육되고 전파되는 것으로 추측되었다.러 가지 방법들을 적극 적용하여 금후 검토해볼 필요가 있을 것이다.잡은 전혀 삭과가 형성되지 않았다. 이 결과는 종간 교잡종을 자방친으로 하고 그 자방친의 화분친을 사용할 때만 교잡이 이루어지고 있음을 나타내고 있다. 따라서 여교잡을 통한 종간잡종 품종육성 활용방안을 금후 적극 확대 검토해야 할 것이다하였다.함을 보이고 있다.X> , ZnCl$_{3}$$^{-}$같은
