Information on biodiversity plays an important role in conservation planning for ecosystem. As existing biodiversity indices are calculated and predicted only based on the number of individuals and species, it is difficult to explain aspects of genetic and ecological diversity. Phylogenetic diversity can indirectly evaluate ecological diversity as well as genetic diversity overlooked by existing biodiversity assessments. In this study, typical metrics of biodiversity (e.g., species diversity, species richness, etc.) and phylogenetic diversity were evaluated together using a long-term monitoring data of winter birds in Jungrang, Cheonggye and Anyang stream where are designated as Seoul migratory bird reserves. Then discussed the meaning of each assessmentresult. In Jungrang and Anyang stream, the number of individuals generally decreased overtime, whereas in Cheonggye stream, there was no significant change. In addition, species abundance increased over time slightly in Cheonggye stream, while there was no significant change in Jungrang and Anyang stream. Species diversity temporally increased in Jungrang and Cheonggye stream, excluding Anyang stream, but phylogenetic diversity showed a tendency to increase only in Cheonggye stream. These changes in the biodiversity assessment indices are thought to be due to anthropogenic disturbances such as construction that occurred within each site, and it was shown that species diversity and phylogenetic diversity do not always lead to the same assessment results. Therefore, this study suggests that biodiversity assessment needs to be considered from various contexts such as genetic and ecological perspectives.

Insect diversities in non-organic and organic Chinese cabbage and pepper fields were studied in 2009. Sixty-two species in 9 orders and 24 species in 6 orders were collected in organic and non-organic Chinese cabbage fields, respectively. In pepper fields, insect diversity was also higher in organic fields than in non-organic ones. Dominance index, diversity index, richness index, and evenness index in organic fields were higher than those in non-organic fields.

A survey of Hongryu-Dong and Chi-in district. Gaya National Park, was conducted using 40 sample sites of 500$m^2$ size. TWINSPAN classification confirmed a complex pattern of both local and geographical variation in the vegetation: Dry and wet community types. Within dry community types, two floristic assocation of Pinus densiflora were defined according to local variation. Within wet community types. two floristic association were defined according to altitude. Those associations can be further subdivided floristically into eight subassociation. The vegetation pattern presented by DCA ordination corresponds to one of TWINSPAN at the first two division. The DCA ordination was successful in separating Pinus densiflora from broad leaf forest. Ordination of samples produced arrangements reflectly environmental gradient of soil. The correlation between the first axe of DCA and soil moisture, soil acid, altitude, maximum species diversity and species diversity was significantly negative. The similarity index between each community was very low level.

섬괴불나무(Lonicera insularis Nakai)는 인동과(Caprifoliaceae) 인동속(Lonicera) 식물로 우리나라 울릉도에 제한적으로 분포한다. 인동과 식물 중 인동(L. japonica Thunb.), 괴불나무[L. maackii (Rupr.) Maxim] 등 다수의 분류군이 약리효능이 입증되었으며, 맛이 뛰어나 차, 술, 음료 등으로 다양하게 활용되고 있다. 그 중 섬괴불나무는 최근 면역자극 및 항비만 활성 등 다양한 약효가 확인되어 약용자원으로서의 잠재적 가치가 큰 것으로 보고된 바 있다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 특산식물인 섬괴불나무의 적정 자생지를 명확하게 구명하여 보전생물학적 연구, 재배 및 산업화와 같은 현지 외 보전연구를 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다. 연구 결과, 울릉도에서 확인된 섬괴불나무의 주요 분포지는 4개소로 해안도로 일대에 자생하고 있었다. 입지환경은 해발고도 8-20 m, 사면 방위는 남사면, 경사는 15-30°로 완경사지에서 주로 자생하고 있었다. 방형구(10×10 m) 내 개체수는 5-25 개체로 대부분 군락을 이루고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 4개 조사구에 대한 군집분석을 실시한 결과, 조사구는 곰솔 군집(Pinus thunbergii Parl.)으로 상층의 발달이 거의 없는 전형적인 해안 식생의 구조로 확인되었다. 관목층은 보리장나무(Elaeagnus glabra Thunb.), 송악[Hedera rhombea (Miq.) Bean], 머루(Vitis coignetiae Pulliat ex Planch.) 등이 경쟁관계에 있었으며, 초본층은 왕호장근[Reynoutria sachalinensis (F.Schmidt) Nakai], 갯메꽃[Calystegia soldanella (L.) R.Br], 해국(Aster spathulifolius Maxim.) 등으로 인하여 섬괴불나무는 피압된 것으로 판단된다. 군집의 안전성, 다양성을 나타내는 척도인 종다양성지수는 1.259, 최대종다양성지수는 1.286, 균재도는 0.979, 우점도는 0.021로 확인되었다.

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.

For the sustainable conservation of forests within and around the somma of Nari basin in Ulleung Island, the stand structure and dynamics with the aspect, altitude and stand types were estimated by using analyses of importance value, plant species diversity, S$\o$rensen's similarity index and distributions of diameter classes. Results of the importance value analysis with vegetation stories on each stand showed that Fagus engleriana and Acer okamotoanum were dominant in most stands regardless of the aspect and altitude of the forest around the somma of Nari basin and the plant species composition among stands was not significantly different. The forest within Nari basin was composed of pine, beech, alder and deciduous-mixed stand. Moreover, the species composition was greatly different among the four stands. The diversity of plant species within stand was in general higher within Nari basin than around the somma, and among stands within Nari basin, the plant species diversity of pine and deciduous-mixed stand showed higher values than that of beech and alder stands. The similarity index among stands with aspect and altitude showed that the index among stands of eastern, western and northern slope in forest around the somma and forest within the basin ranged from 0.68 to 0.69, and the similarity among four stands with altitude was very high having index range from 0.85 to 0.95. The patterns of diameter class distribution of the major dominant species from four altitude classes followed an almost normal bell-shaped distribution. The results were interpreted as an indication that these forests will in general maintain a stable stand structure. Therefore, despite diverse topographic features around Nari basin, the stand structure and plant species composition among stands were not diversified as expected. For the conservation of diversity of forest plant species and of forest ecosystems, a promising and intensive program should be considered.

The seasonal changes in phytoplankton standing crops, species composition, dominant species, species diversity and physico-chemical characteristics in Woopo and Mokpo swamps were studied from January to December, 1998. Phytoplankton of a total 353 taxa were identified, the composition of phytoplankton community was characetrized by green algae and diatoms and quantity composition of standing crops was dominated by green alga Oscillatoria sp. was especially prominent. The standing crops varied from 108 cells/ml and 118 cells/ml to 19,178 cells and 38,393 cells/ml in Woopo and Mokpo swamps, respectively. The maximum algal density was observed in November, Micractinium pusillum and Oscillatoria sp. usually contributed 83.2% to total cell numbers in Woopo swamp. However, the maximum density occurred in May when Oscillatoria sp. formed bloom in Mokpo swamp. The low species diversity of the phytoplankton coincided with maximum standing crops of the filamentous blue-green alga Oscillatoria sp. and green alga Micractinium pusillum in May and November.

Terrestrial insect fauna was surveyed in the Junam wetland area, which consists of the Junam, Dongpan, and Sannam wetlands, by visual counting and pictures. A sweep net collection was conducted from May to October 2010. A neighburing artificial lotus wetland was also surveyed for comparison. A total of 5,730 insects were surveyed, representing 268 species in 85 families and 12 orders. Sixty-three species of coleopterans were surveyed, followed by 60 species of Lepidoptera, and 37 species of Hemiptera. Coleopteran individuals were 25.9% of the total insect numbers surveyed, comprising most abundant group. This was followed by Odonata, Lepidoptera, and Orthoptera at 22.3%, 15.4%, and 12.7%, respectively. In total, 197 species were surveyed in the Dongpan wetland, 175 in the Junam wetland, and 154 species in the Sannam wetlands. However, only 86 species were surveyed in the artificial lotus wetland. Galerucella nipponensis in Coleoptera, Crocothemis servilia mariannae in Odonata, and Polygonia c-aureum in Lepidoptera were the most abundant in all four wetlands. Community analyses showed that the dominance index was highest in the artificial lotus wetland at 0.25 and lowest in Junam wetland at 0.08. Diversity indices were relatively high in all wetlands at 4.48, 4.44, 4.28, and 3.87 in Junam, Dongpan, Sannam, and the artificial lotus wetland, respectively. The insect fauna similarity index was highest in the Junam and Dongpan wetlands at 0.96. The lotus wetland showed the lowest similarity of the three wetlands with values of 0.45-0.53.

We classified the forest type and figured out the ecological characteristics for each of the types in order to provide the basic informations for being induced ecologically efficient forest practice plan by vegetation units in the natural forest of Songnisan. We established the 250 sample points and collected the vegetation data of vertical distribution for each sample. A variety of multivariate statistical methods were applied to classify the forest types. The species diversity index were analyzed to estimate the stability and maturity for forest vegetation in each the type. The types were divided from two to ten clusters by cluster analysis. The appropriate number of clusters was estimated five clusters by indicator species analysis. It was verified through the multiple discriminant analysis that the estimated number of clusters had been suitable. Based on the species composition for each the type, this study site was classified into five forest types: 1) Quercus serrata and 2) mixed mesophytic forest in the valley area, 3) Q. mongolica forest in the main ridge, 4) Pinus densiflora forest in the sub-ridge extending from the main, and 5) Q. variabilis-P. densiflora forest between the sub-ridge and valley. The species diversity index of the pine forest that had been a simple species composition was the lowest while that of the mixed mesophytic forest of which the composition had been diverse was the highest. As the forest vegetation was more varied, the index showed a tendency to increase.

In this study, the community structures of the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in the roots of Abies koreana and Taxus cuspidata were investigated at different altitudes of Mt. Halla. We identified the collected ECM root tips based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis through sequencing of the rDNA ITS regions. From the roots of A. koreana and T. cuspidata, 11 species and 12 species were identified, respectively. The Shannon's index and species evenness and abundance of the ECM fungi were higher in the higher than lower regions, regardless of host plant species, however, the number of ECM root tips showed the opposite pattern. The community similarity among the ECM fungi in A. koreana was significantly higher than that among the ECM fungi in T. cuspidata or than that between A. koreana and T. cuspidata (p < 0.05). These results could be useful for the conservation and management of the habitat of A. koreana, which is threatened with extinction due to increasing ambient air temperature.
