기후변화의 영향으로 기온과 강수량의 증가가 나타나고 있으며, 이러한 변화는 수문 순환 및 강우-유출의 변화로 인해 하천의 수질에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 수질 오염원 중 배출원의 형태가 명확하지 않은 비점오염원은 강우의 유출과 함께 발생하는 특징을 띤다. 비점오염원은 지표면에 존재하던 오염 물질이 지표면에서 유출이 발생함에 따라 하천으로 유입되는 오염물이다. 이에 따라 강우량에 비례하는 특성을 띠며 점 오염원과 달리 변동 폭이 크다. 대표적인 비점오염물로 알려진 질소, 인과 같은 영양물질은 하천으로 유입 시 부영양화를 야기하는 물질로 우리나라와 같이 계절별 강수량의 차이가 큰 환경에서 비점오염물의 지속적인 관리는 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 비점오염원은 오염원을 특정할 수 없기 때문에 하천으로의 유입을 최소화하는 최적관리기법(Best Management Practices)을 통해 관리한다. 국내외에서 가장 널리 이용되는 비점오염원 최적관리기법은 식생형 시설로, 나지에 식물체를 파종함으로써 토양의 유실을 방지하여 비점오염물의 하천 유입을 저감시키고, 자연경관으로써 기능한다. 미래 수자원의 효과적인 이용을 위해서는 기후변화에 따른 수문 변화, 그로 인한 수질 변화 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기후변화 시나리오를 통해 기온, 강수, 습도와 같은 기후 조건의 변화를 고려하여 예측되는 비점오염물의 유출 저감 대책의 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 이 때, 기후변화 시나리오는 그 자체로 불확실성을 포함하는 자료이기 때문에 특정 시나리오를 분석하기 보다는 기후변화 진행 정도에 따른 비점오염물 유출을 산정하고 저감 대책의 영향을 분석한다. 연구를 수행하기 위해 장기간의 강우-유출 특성의 모의가 가능하고 저감 대책을 제공하는 SWAT 모형을 이용한다. SWAT 모형에서는 여러 최적관리기법을 제공하는데, 가장 널리 이용되는 것이 식생형 시설인 것에 기초하여 적용할 저감 대책으로 계단식 산비탈(Terracing)을 선정하였다. 저감 대책의 적용으로 비점오염물질이 적게는 약 30%에서 많게는 60%까지 변화하며 매우 효율적으로 저감되는 것이 확인되었다. 저감 시설의 적용을 통해 총 량 뿐만 아니라 시간에 따른 비점오염물 유출의 변동성 또한 감소시킬 수 있음이 확인되었다.

MODIS (Moderate Resolution Image Spectrometer) is a core satellite sensor boarded on Terra and Aqua satellite of NASA Earth Observing System since 1999 and 2001, respectively. MODIS LAI, FPAR, and GPP provide useful means to monitor plant phonology and material cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, LAI, FPAR, and GPP in Korea were evaluated and errors associated with cloud contamination on MODIS pixels were eliminated for years $2001\sim2003$. Three-year means of cloud-corrected annual GPP were 1836, 1369, and 1460g C $m^{-2}y^{-1}$ for evergreen needleleaf forest, deciduous broadleaf forest, and mixed forest, respectively. The cloud-originated errors were 8.5%, 13.1%, and 8.4% for FPAR, LAI, and GPP, respectively. Summertime errors from June to September explained by 78% of the annual accumulative errors in GPP. This study indicates that cloud-originated errors should be mitigated for practical use of MODIS vegetation products to monitor seasonal and annual changes in plant phonology and vegetation production in Korea.

The objective of this study was to determine the important factors affecting the early natural regeneration of Pinus densiflora S. et Z. Seed germination, survival and height growth of the pine seedlings were examined at four experimental plots of P. densiflora forests including forest roadside. Plots I and III were thinned in 1992, plot II was treated with hexazinone in 1993 after seed tree method was applied in 1982 and 1989. Seedlings emerged after thinning and the rate of their emergence depended on forest floor conditions. Seedling survival was related with light conditions, herbaceous vegetation, and degrees of rainfall. More seedlings emerged in forest hauling roads than within the forest because soil scarification due to logging provided better conditions for seed germination and seedling growth. Seed supply was enough, but germination rate was very low in the forest compared with that in the greenhouse because micro-environments such as organic layer and herbaceous plant acted as limiting factors. Weed control was needed for 4 to 5 years until seedlings grew upto about 50cm in height which was similar to that of herbaceous plants. But 10-40% coverage of herbaceous vegetation was needed to protect small seedlings from heavy rain. Forest works such as thinning and logging, over 40% of light were important factors to help the pine regeneration. However, over 70% coverage of herbaceous vegetation, and heavy rain inhibited rather survival and growth of pine seedlings.

The second year's results of surface fire effects on forest vegetation and soil properties and fire tolerance of various tree species were investigated in Mt. Gwanak, Kyunggi-do, successively after the study of the first year's effect in the same place. Soil moisture contents, organic matters, and most of soil nutrients including exchangeable bases had increased just after fire and went down to become somewhat constant. Available phosphorous at fired area decreased until it became similar to that at unfired area, while pH of subsoil was continuously increasing from just after fire till after 1 year. For Lespedeza and Weigela species, fire tolerance of tree crown was the lowest but reproductive capacity was the highest. And both of them were high for Rhododendron species. More exact classification into Increasers, Decreasers, Invaders and Neutral species was possible in the second year's study. According to comparison of similarities, it was found that the vegetational structure at fired area is slowly restoring to original state as time goes.

The current study aimed to review the research trends on forest liming by age, country, and research topics, and seeks to summarize the effects of forest liming on soil, vegetation and water system in forest ecosystems. The recent goals of forest liming have been changed in response to changes in the acid deposition, and related studies have been mainly carried out in Europe and North America, where there is noted a massive forest decline, which was subsequently caused by acid rain. Most forest liming studies are noted to have focused on soil responses, however, the number of studies on the responses of vegetation and water system according to a literature review on the subject were relatively small. Meanwhile, forest liming influenced whole forest ecosystems through interaction between the soil, vegetation and water system as associated with the relevant regions. The changes in soil pH, base saturation, and cation exchange capacity by forest liming were noted as different depending on the soil layer and elapsed time after liming. The responses of vegetation to forest liming were shown in above- and below-ground plant growth and plant nutrient concentration, and also were noted to have varied depending on the available regional plant species and noted specific soil conditions. The chemical properties of the water system were changed similarly to those in the soil, leading to notable changes as seen in the planktons and available fish species in the region. Finally, these results could be used to plan further studies on forest liming, which would significantly benefit regional studies to promote the preservation of the species noted for protection in the region.

Clear-cut followed by tree planting has been a conventional management practice in burned forests in Korea. Because this can considerably increase soil loss, hillslope treatments may be needed in order to improve soil stability at poorly regenerating areas. This paper reviews the effects of hillslope treatments, such as seeding, mulching and log erosion barriers, which have been applied to restore vegetation and conserve soil in burned forests in North America and Europe. Seeding has been the most common method for postfire restoration. However, the effects of seeding on vegetation cover and soil erosion are not clear and seeding with non-native species has been reported to inhibit regeneration of native vegetation. Mulching has been found to be effective at reducing soil erosion. However, this also can introduce non-native plant species and inhibit native plant regeration. Although studies on the effect of log erosion barriers are very few, it appears that log erosion barriers are effective in the period of little rainfall. Hillslope treatments for postfire restoration is not necessary for naturally regenerating areas and therefore, they should be restricted to the areas where regeneration potential is low and runoff and soil loss is considerable. Long-term monitoring is needed to assess the effectiveness of hillslope treatments on soil erosion, the introduction of non-native plant species and the inhibition of natural plant regeneration.

A study was conducted to determine the effects of seed mixture and nitrogen application levels on botanical composition and forage productivity in grazing pasture. Legume forage have the ability to take nitrogen from the atmosphere and convert it into a form usable by plants. Including legumes in mixtures with grass lowers the amount of nitrogen fertilizer required to produce forages. Dry matter (DM) yield of grass-legume mixtures was more than that of grass mono-cultivated and grass+white clover+red clover mixtures was the highest as 17,391 kg/ha in legume mixture (P<0.01). The highest DM yield was in N-200 kg/ha, but it was similar between N-100 kg/ha(15,128) and N-200 kg/ha (16,017). The large decline in the proportion of grass during April to June in 2004 probably was due to the drought and summer depression in grass-legume mixtures. Grass proportions decreased by 8.2% after 2 year, and white clover was dominated in grass-white clover mixture by May 2005. Crud protein (CP) content tends to increase with increased nitrogen application level.

Comparisons of understory vegetation between the burned and the unburned area, and effects of fire on seed germination of Melica onoei, which increased importance value in burned area, were investigated in the black pine forest. The number of plant species in burned and unburned area was 38 and 20, respectively. Melica onoei, indigofera kirilowii, Lespedeza bicolor Miscanthus sinensis were the most abundant species in burned area. A number of seedlings and sprouts of these species were found in burned area. Standing biomass of understory vegetation in burned and unburned area was 88.7g/㎡ and 299.8g/㎡, respectively, in the immediate postfire year. However, standing biomass in burned area increased to 537.2g/㎡ and relative standing biomass of Melica onoei was the highest with a value of 25.7% in the second year Seed germination of Melica onoei in control(C), dark (D), leaf (L), leaf extract (E) treatment was 92.5%, 86.0%, 45.5% and 39.0%, respectively. However, seed germination in L+E and D+L+E treatment was 10.5% and 4.0%, respectively. It is assumed that higher importance value of M. onoei in the postfire vegetation in this study area might be due to the removal of allelopathic inhibitors and the improvement of light condition after fire.

강우강도가 큰 집중호우가 지표면에 도달하게 되면 강우량중 상당 부분이 수문학적 손실성분인 침수, 증발산, 차단 및 저류등으로 시간에 따라 분포된다. 이 가운데 지표면에 분포된 식생계 및 낙엽등에 의한 차단(canopy interception effect)과, 지표가 포화시의 증발산(wetted environmental evapotranspiration) 및 각종 저류, 즉 지표면 저류(depression storage), 지표토양층에의 저류(retention storage) 성분 등을 들 수 있으며 이들 각 손실성분은 직접유출로 나타나는 초과우량의 발생시간을 지체시켜 주는 역할을 하나 차단성분 및 저류성분은 시간이 경과함에 따라 결국은 증발산 또는 침투성분으로 흡수된다. 따라서 침투성분은 초과우량 추정에 매우 큰 영향을 줄 뿐 아니라 지표면 아래의 흙의 변형을 야기시키며, 중간유출 및 지하수유출에 기여 한다. 대부분의 호우사상은 강우초기에 강우강도가 지표 흙의 침수계수(hydraulic conductivity)보다 작기 때문에 모두 각 손실성분에 의해 손실되며, 강우강도가 점차 커져 침수능을 초과하면 지표면에 순간적으로 물이 고이게 되는데 이것을 지표심수(surface ponding)라하고, 강우시작부터 이 때까지가 침수시간(ponding time)이 된다. 이 지표침수가 나타나는 순간이 곧 직접유출 시작 시간으로 볼 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 침수시간은 지표면의 물수지면에서 볼 때 초기손실량 및 침수율 결정에 중요한 인자가 된다. 본 연구에서는 각 손실 성분별로 유역의 제반 특성을 고려하여 구한 매개변수로부터 시간에 대한 손실율을 결정하여 산지 하천유역에 발생하는 부정강우사상(unsteady rainfall)의 초과우량을 추정하는 모델을 유도하였다. 대상유역으로는 현재 건설부에서 수행하고 있는 국제수문개발계획(IHP) 대표시험유역 가운데 평창강 수계내의 장평유역으로서, 본 유역은 자기 우량계 및 자기 수위계가 운용되고 있고, 인접 대관령 측후소로부터 기상자료를 획득, 이용할 수 있는 비교적 분석에 양호한 조건을 지닌 유역이다. 모델의 유도 과정은 대상유역 식생계로 피복된 산지유역임으로, 식생차단 저류효과를 고려해서 지표면의 흙에 도달되는 순강우주상도를 얻고 이로부터 침수시간 및 침투율을 결정해서 초과우량을 산정하는 모델을 유도하였다. 강우 지속시간내 즉, 유역이 완전 포화시의 증발산율의 결정은 Morton 모델로부터, 침수시간 및 침투율 결정은 Green-Ampt 방정식을 부정강우사상에 적용할 수 있도록 수정된 모델을 사용하였으며, 분석에 이용된 호우는 1986 ~ 1987년도 발생된 호우사상 가운데 강우강도 및 총 강우량이 비교적 큰 7개 강우사상을 선정하였다. 각 호우사상별로 손실율울 지표면에서 물수지개념을 이용하여 계산하고 산술지상에 구성시킨 결과는 다음 그림과 같다. 이 그림에서 굵은 실선으로 나타낸 곡선(B. L. R)은 각 손실을 곡선을 시간축에 따라 산술평균한 대표손실율곡선이다. 이 대표손실율곡선은 역지수함수형으로서 곡선식의 유도는 회기분석을 이용하였다. 초과우량 주상도를 얻기 위하여 이 대표손실을 곡선을 관측 강우주상도에 적용시켜 본 결과 식생계에 의한 차단 저류율은 약 6mm/hr 정도인 것으로 나타났으며, 이로 인한 침수시간 지체효과는 1~3시간 정도로서 비교적 그 영향이 큼을 알았다. 또한 각 호우사상별 침수시간 계산 결과 그 변동이 큰 것으로 나타났는데 이는 초기 강우강도에 민감하기 때문인 것으로 판단되낟. 한편 유역 포화시의 증발산율은 우기의 기상자료를 이용하여 구한 결과 0.05 - 0.10 mm/hr 의 범위로서 이로 인한 강우손실량은 큰 의미가 없음을 알았다.
