This study was conducted to investigate the vascular flora of two outstanding forest wetlands(OFW) in Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, and to prepare an efficient management plan for forest wetlands through comparison with previous studies. Fieldwork was conducted seasonally from May to October 2023, The flora in the two OFW located in Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, consisted of 117 taxa such as 55 families, 92 genera, 108 species, 7 variants, 1 variety and 1 hybrid. The endemic plants were 4 taxa and rare plants were 7 taxa. Floristic target plants were V class 2 taxa, IV class 6 taxa, III class 8 taxa, II class 4 taxa and Iclass 21 taxa. Climate change adaptation plants were 10 taxa and naturalized plants was 1 taxa. Obligate wetland plants were 16 taxa, Facultative wetland plants 10 taxa and Facultative plant 4 taxa. OFW functioning a typical wetland ecosystem in Goheung-gun had been providing habitats for a variety of rare plants, such as the Habenaria radiata and Drosera rotundifolia. But those ecosystems would be suffering a critical disturbance such as human interference, the invasion of naturalized plants, and change of wetland function through landization for a short future. Therefore we suggest those OFWs should be designated as a Forest Genetic Resource Reserve in order to keep the ecosystems permanently and to manage them more soundly and efficiently.

Quaternary Geological and geophysical investigation was performed at the Eurimji reservoir of Jaechon City in order to interprete depositional environment and genesis of lake sediments. For this purpose, echo sounding, bottom sampling and columnar sampling by drilling on board and GPR survey were employed for a proper field investigation. Laboratory tests cover grain size population analysis, pollen analysis and $^{14}C$ datings for the lake sediments. The some parts of lake bottom sediments anthropogenically tubated and filled several times to date, indicating several mounds on the bottom surface which is difficult to explain by bottom current. Majority of natural sediments were accumulated both as rolling and suspended loads during seasonal flooding regime, when flash flow and current flow are relatively strong not only at bridge area of the western part of Eurimji, connected to stream valley, but at the several conduit or sewage system surrounding the lake. Most of uniform suspend sediments are accumulated at the lake center and lower bank area. Some parts of bottom sediments indicate the existence of turbid flow and mudflow probably due to piezometric overflowing from the lake bottom, the existence of which are proved by CM patterns of the lake bottom sediments. The columnar samples of the lake sediments in ER-1 and ER-3-1 boreholes indicate good condition without any human tubation. The grain size character of borehole samples shows poorly sorted population, predominantly composed of fine sand and muds, varying skewness and kurtosis, which indicate multi-processed lake deposits, very similar to lake bottom sediments. Borehole columnar section, echo sounding and GPR survey profilings, as well as processed data, indicate that organic mud layers of Eurimji lake deposits are deeper and thicker towards lower bank area, especially west of profile line-9. In addition the columnar sediments indicate plant coverage of the Eurimji area were divided into two pollen zones. Arboreal pollen ( AP) is predominant in the lower pollen zone, whreas non-aboreal pollen(NAP) is rich in the upper pollen zone. Both of the pollen zones are related to the vegetation coverage frequently found in coniferous and deciduous broad-leaved trees(mixed forest) surrounded by mountains and hilly areas and prevailing by aquatic or aquatic margin under the wet temperate climate. The $^{14}C$ age of the dark gray organic muds, ER1-12 sample, is 950$\pm$40 years B.P. As the sediments are anthropogenetically undisturbed, it is assumed that the reliability of age is high. Three $^{14}C$ ages of the dark gray organic muds, including ER3-1-8, ER3-1-10, ER3-1-11 samples, are 600$\pm$30 years B.P., 650$\pm$30 years B.P., 800$\pm$40 years B.P. in the descending order of stratigraphic columnar section. Based on the interpretation of depositional environments and formation ages, it is proved that Eurimji reservoir were constructed at least 950$\pm$40 years B.P., the calibrated ages of which ranges from 827 years, B.P. to 866 years B.P. Ancient people utilize the natural environment of the stream valley to meet the need of water irrigation for agriculture in the local valley center and old alluvium fan area.

Soybean seed injury was analyzed in the experiments that soybean pods were allowed to be sucked by adults of the bean bug, R. clavatus, and were picked with a specimen pin. While attack by the bean bug at podding stage of soybean caused the increase of empty pods and completely-undeveloped seeds, attack at full seed stage caused the increase of seeds wi distinct injury mark on seed-coat. The ratio of deformed seed was lower than those of injury-marked seed and undeveloped seed when attacked during all stages. In at full bloom stage hardly produced injury-marked seeds and deformed seeds. When the injured seeds were dyed with acid-fuchsine solution, stylet sheaths of R. clavatus formed on seed-coat were observed in 83% of undeveloped seeds formed under attack during podding stage and in 91% of injury-marked seeds formed during full seed stage. In pods injured with a specimen pin at full seed and full maturity stages, no healthy seeds could be obtained from the pods. And the more picked at full seed stage, the more deformed seeds were produced and the higher weight reduction of injury-marked seed occurred. However, pin-injury at full maturity stage didn't give rise to weight reduction of seeds.

Extensive monitoring of aquatic organisms in rice paddy fields has been difficult due to laborious sampling methods such as quadrat sampling using a hand net. This study aimed to analyze temporal and regional community compositions of aquatic organisms collected with a less time-consuming sampling method. This method involved using submerged funnel traps in rice paddy fields. Submerged funnel traps were useful for capturing taxa containing species that are indicative of environmental changes and highly mobile species that feed on waterbirds. Fifteen taxa including Ampullariidae, Cobitidae, Chironomidae, Hydrophilidae and Dytiscidae determined the community compositions. Among the major taxa, only Chironomidae resistant to environmental disturbances represented temporal variations of aquatic organism communities in rice paddy fields. Ampullariidae, Dytiscidae, and Hydrophilidae, which are prone to be affected by anthropogenic activities, differed among regions.

This paper targets to define controlling factors of pressure-coupled combustion response and estimate their effects on droplet evaporation process. Dynamic characteristics of hydrocarbon propellant vaporization perturbed by acoustic pressure are numerically simulated and analyzed. 1-D droplet model including phase equilibrium between two phases is applied and acoustic wave is expressed by harmonic function. Effects of various design factors and acoustic pressure on combustion response are investigated with parametric studies. Results show that driving frequency of acoustic perturbation and ambient pressure have important roles in determining magnitude and phase of combustion response. On the other hand, other parameters such as gas temperature, initial droplet size and temperature, and amplitude of acoustic wave cause only minor changes to magnitude of combustion response. Resultant changes in phase of heat of vaporization and thermal wave in droplet highly influence magnitude and phase of combustion response.

Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV)는 Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)를 자연하천이나 실험실에서 넓은 영역($4m^2{\sim}45,000m^2$)에 적용할 수 있도록 확장시킨 것으로 지난 10여년 이상 세계적으로 널리 이에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. PIV는 seeding, illumination, recording 그리고 image processing으로 구성된다. LSPIV(Large Scale PIV)는 PIV의 기본원리를 근거로 하여 기존의 PIV에 비하여 실험실 내에서의 수리모형실험이나 일반 하천에서의 유속측정과 같은 큰 규모의 흐름해석을 할 수 있도록 seeding, illumination에 대한 조정이 필요하고, 촬영된 image에 대한 왜곡을 없애는 작업이 필요하다. LSPIV는 PIV의 네가지 단계를 포함하여 seeding, illumination, recording, image transformation, image processing 및 post-processing의 여섯 단계로 구성되어진다 (Li, 2002). LSPIV를 일반 하천에 적용시, 자연발생적인 tracers - 난류로 인한 표면 교란, 부유물, 수공구조물로 인해서 발생하는 자연 발생되는 거품 - 가 풍부해서 seeding이 불필요한 경우를 제외하고는 정확한 유속장의 해석을 위하여 인공적인 seeding을 필요로 한다. 일반적으로 Seeding 재료로 많이 이용되는 것은 wood mulch, Ecofoam, grain-straw 등이다. 하천에서 자연발생적 혹은 인위적 seeding을 하였을 때 이들 tracers의 물리적인 속성으로 바람에 쉽게 영향을 받고 이로 인하여 실제의 물표면유속을 대표하지 못하는 경우가 있다. 이에 실험실의 개수로에서 여러 가지 이용 가능한 tracers에 대하여 바람에 의한 오차 발생의 정도를 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 seeding 재료로는 black polypropylene, Ecofoam, white polystyrene의 세가지를 이용하였다. black polypropylene (SG=0.92)과 white polystyrene (SG=0.0125)은 폭 1 m 이내의 개수로 실험 장치에서 유속장의 해석에 많이 이용되고 Ecofoam (SG=0.0065)은 수리 모형실험에서 많이 이용된다. seeding 물질에 따른 바람의 영향을 분석하기 위해서 폭 60cm의 개수로에서 seeding 물질을 변경하면서 펌프의 조작에 의해 3가지 단면평균유속을 발생시키고, 각 평균유속조건에 대해 4가지의 바람세기 - 바람이 없을 때와 팬의 바람세기를 1단, 2단, 3단으로 조정 - 를 발생시켰으며, 개수로위에서 촬영한 이미지의 상류측기준점으로부터 0.3556m 하류 지점을 횡단하는 단면의 표면유속을 측정하여 비교하였고, 그 단면의 중앙에서 물표면 바로 위 지점의 풍속을 측정하였다. 각 Seeding 물질에 대해 팬을 켜지 않았을 때, 즉 바람의 영향이 없을 때 측정한 표면유속을 바람의 세기가 변한 경우의 기준 표면유속으로 이용하였다. 본 연구의 결과 비중이 0.01 내외인 Ecofoam과 white polystyrene에 비해 비중이 0.92인 black polypropylene은 대부분이 물속에 잠겨 있어 흐름과 거의 일치하여 움직임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 흐름의 평균유속이 0.165 m/s의 저유속에서 바람이 tracers에 미치는 영향이 평균유속 0.558m/s인 경우보다 커서, 바람의 세기의 증가에 따라 표면유속 측정값이 급속히 감소되었다. 흐름의 평균유속이 큰 경우에는 바람이 tracer에 마치는 영향이 현격히 줄어듬을 보이고 있다. 결론적으로 유속이 증가함에 따라 바람의 영향은 감소하나, 바람의 영향을 최소화시키기 위해서는 가급적 비중이 큰 물질(0.5

The wetlands have eco-sociological values because their functions have proven to be useful to human society. Many countries are working to conserve and protect the wetland ecosystems. However, many wetlands have disappeared or have been fragmented due to a natural and/or anthropogenic disturbance. These isolated wetlands appear to work best in the landscape, as a spatially distributed system. We have analyzed the spatial-social distribution patterns of wetlands in Gyeongsangnam-do Province (GNP). We examined the frequency distribution of wetland sizes, the distances to the nearest wetlands, the shapes of the wetlands, land-use patterns, land owners, and official land values were confirmed as social characteristics for each wetland. A total of 146 wetlands (3,598.85 ha), including 76 riverine wetlands (1,955.60 ha), 49 palustrine wetlands (1,282.28 ha) and 21 mountain wetlands (1,282.28 ha) were identified in GNP. Most wetlands left for use to drainage were small (<2 ha) and located in agricultural areas. However, small and isolated wetlands were clustered, according to the location, indicating that these wetlands can be connected to each other using the linear riverine wetlands and water channels in agricultural areas. This is extremely valuable in maintaining the biodiversity, such that any loss of small wetlands will cause a direct reduction in the connectedness among populations of the remaining species. Due to most wetlands belonging to the nation or businesses, being classified as reservoirs (water storage areas), and consequently, degradation of wetlands will progress due to grand-scale engineering works. Therefore, wetland policy and ecologically sensitive laws and policies should be developed in order to promote the wise-use for wetlands.

Soils are the basis for plant rooting and ecosystem creation, the site of life for humankind, and require much time for their creation, so there will be no disagreement about the importance and necessity of soil conservation and management. Soil resilience is the ability of soils to maintain their original structure and function (resistance and recovery) from various kinds of disturbances, and is an indispensable field of study that prepares for a future with high uncertainty and unpredictability. Therefore, this study summarizes the concept and necessity of soil resilience, which is not yet widely known in Korea, and the contents of previous studies were reviewed. This study was carried out with the aim of contributing to lowering the threshold for entry into resilience research for domestic and foreign researchers who are new to soil resilience. In the first part of this study, we introduced resilience and soil resilience, and in the second part, we summarized the main causes of stress or disturbance that have been studied by many soil resilience researches. This makes it easy to find the references authors need. It is virtually impossible to find the same soil environment because there is no same area on the earth with all the same rock, climate, human activity, and culture, suggesting that each soil has its own uniqueness. Therefore, the researcher who wants to utilize the results of this study should take into consideration the specificity of the soil and the region to which the soil resilience is introduced, and modify it if necessary. In addition, efforts should be made to strengthen the network of soil resilience researchers to create a basis for sharing and actively utilizing the research results.

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution and habitat types of prickly lettuce, Lactuca scariola of Europe origin for supplying the basic data of management plan. It showed fairly nation-wide distribution although excessive growth was rather limited in the wild. Its habitat types were divided into four types like open fields, roadsides, seashores and riversides. Species diversity examined by species rank-dominance curve tended to increase over riverside > seashores > open fields > roadsides. As a result of analyzing life form, therophytes were more than 50%, means that the habitats of L. scariola were disturbed by human activities etc. Urbanization Index was analyzed 9.1% in roadsides, 7.4% in seashores, 5.8% in open fields and riversides. It has high spread potential with a large number of wind-flying seed per plant. It was evaluated that prickly lettuce was mainly spread along the newly constructed road, expressway and invaded the original ecosystem in the cultivated land as weeds. But it has played a role as a pioneer species in open fields. It is recommended to remove where it has considerable impact on the native plant species of conservation value.

붉가시나무는 기후변화에 따라 분포 확산이 예측되고 목재로서의 이용가치가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 국내에서 붉가시나무의 자원량 및 생육환경을 파악하기 위하여 국내 분포 및 자생지의 식생구조를 분석하였다. 분포 범위 조사 결과, 제주도를 비롯한 남해안의 도서지역에 주로 분포하는데, 제주도 남부지역 약 200~800m에 분포하며 가거도, 완도, 진도 등에 주로 분포하였다. 지역별 자생지의 입지분석 결과, 교목층의 수고는 제주도에서 17.3m로 가장 높고 가거도의 경우 11.3m로 가장 낮았다. 또한 가거도 자생지의 경우 노출암 비율 70.7%, 평균 경사도 약 $30^{\circ}$로 경사가 매우 급하고 토양층이 가장 빈약하였다. 반면, 제주도에서는 계곡 사면이나 완만한 경사의 산록지대에 주로 분포하였다. 자생지의 식생구조를 파악하기 위하여 수종별 평균중요도지수를 산출한 결과, 교목층에서는 붉가시나무가 가장 높았다. 아교목층의 평균중요도지수는 제주도, 완도, 진도 자생지의 경우 동백나무가 각각 150.93, 83.54, 91.38로 가장 높았는데 이는 동백나무의 밀도가 상대적으로 높았기 때문이다. 반면 가거도 자생지에서는 붉가시나무의 평균중요도지수가 66.55로 가장 높게 산출되었다. 자생지 내 수종의 흉고직경에 따른 수고의 분포는 제주도, 진도, 완도 자생지의 경우 붉가시나무와 기타 수종이 전체 층위에서 고르게 분포하였지만 가거도 자생지에서는 상층일수록 경쟁 종없이 단일종이 분포하는 단순림으로 나타났다. 이 같은 단순림에서는 일시적인 교란에 의해 상층 개체가 없어지면 안정적으로 후대 개체를 생산할 수 없기 때문에 숲 가꾸기와 같은 적극적인 조절이 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 종다양도지수 분석결과, 층위가 높을수록 균재도가 낮게 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 붉가시나무림의 조성이나 안정적 유지 등 인위적 조절을 위한 기초 자료로 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
