This study was performed to examine engineering properties for planting of porous concrete block containing rice straw ash. Tests for void ratio, compressive and flexural strength, pH by neutralization treatment time and curing method were peformed. As results, the void ratio tends to decrease with increasing rice straw ash content. But, the compressive and flexural strength tends to increase with Increasing rice straw ash content. When the neutralization was treated at the curing age 6 days, the greatest strength was showed. The pH of porous concrete without neutralization treatment in dry and water curing are shown in 10.32 ${\~}$ 10.55 and 9.41${\~}$9.59, respectively. The pH of porous concrete by neutralization treatment in dry and water curing were shown in 9.74${\~}$10.10 and 8.13${\~}$9.32, respectively. The porous concrete block size was 23 ${\times}$ 23 ${\times}$ 4 cm, and species of planting were Tall fescue, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya and Lespedeza cuneata. At the 6 months after seeding, germination ratio and grown-up length of Tall fescue, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya and Lespedeza cuneata were shown in 90, 60, $50\%$, and 40${\~}$50, 90${\~}$110, 65${\~}$75 cm, respectively. These porous concrete block containing rice straw ash could be used for planting.

Authors report the changes of the community structure and secondary succession after fire in Mt. Samma (333 m). Approximately six ha of the red pine (Pinus densiflora) forest and its floor vegetation were burned and cutted down. The vegetation and soil properties were investigated in the burned and unburned sites from April to October, 1998. The dominant species based on SDR₃ in the burned site were Lespedeza cyrtobotrya (96.87), Quercus serrata (77.90), Cyperus amuricus (46.22) and Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens (38.33), whereas the dominant species in the unburned site were Pinus densiflora (100.00) and Q. variabilis (66.10) at the tree layer, Q. serrata (100.00) and Zanthoxylum schinifolium (29.64) at the shrub layer., and Q. serrata (76.30) and M. sinensis var. purpurascens (72.84) at the herb layer. The biological spectra based on SDR₃ were Th-D₁-R/sub 5/-e for the burned and H (M)-D₁-R/sub 5/-e type for the unburned site, respectively. The index of similarity (CCs) between the burned and unburned sites was 0.41. The degree of succession (DS) were 609 for the burned and 1168 for the unburned site, respectively. The species diversity (H) and evenness indices (e) of the burned site were lower than those of the unburned site, but the dominance indices (C) was higher in the burned site. In the analysis of soil properties, pH, the content of NO₃/sup -/-N, available phosphrous, and exchangeable cations (K/sup +/, Ca/sup 2+/, Na/sup +/, Mg/sup 2+/) in the burned site were higher than those in the unburned site, whereas the contents of organic matter, total carbon, total nitrogen and NH₄/sup +/-N were lower in the burned site. The results show that dominant species in the burned site change from Miscanthus-Lespedeza→Lespedeza→Quercus and finally to Quercus forest, and the changes of soil properties also affect the early vegetational succession after fire.

This investigation includes the sick soil phenomenon caused by the self-poisoning of Setaria italica, Sorghum nervosum, Zea mays and Miscanthus sinensis among Poaceae. It elucidates whether the poison is directly excreted from the root or the secondary product resulting from the decomposition in the soil; the effect of Miscantus sinensis on the germination and growth of other plants, and the effect of Zea mays grown between furrows to shade Angelica gigas on its growth. The results obtained are as follows; Supplied with the leakage water from the pots, in which the same plants as the test ones were grown, in anticipation of the poison to be directly excreted from their roots, Sataria itlaica and Zea mays exhibited the growth inhibition more than 30%, whereas Sorghum nervosum and Miscanthus sisnensis were not effected in growth at all. When cultivated in the soils mixed with the roots of the some plants as the test ones, in anticipation of the poison to be the secondary product resulting from the decomposition in soil, Setaria italica and Zea mays showd growth inhibition of more than 50%, which is greater than that of the case of the leakage water, and Miscanthus sinensis exhibited no inhibition either, whereas Sorghum nervosum in the 50% plot showed heavy growth inhibition of more than 80% to the case of the leakage water. The common or uncommon plants found easily in the group of Misscanthus scinenis were not affected by the extracts of the steam and leaves of Miscanthus sinensis in germination and growth. Supplied with the leakage water from the pots in which Miscanthus sinensis was grown, among Lespedeza crytobotrya, Oenothera odorata, Raphanus sativus val'. acarlthiformis, Zoysia japonica, Patrinia scabiosaefolia. which are easily found in the group of Miscanthus sinensis, only Patrinia scabiosaefolia was slightly inhibited in growth in the 100% plot, whereas the others did not show any inhibition at all. Mean while, Amaranthus patulus. Solanum nigrum, Capsella bursa-pastoris val'. triangularis, Alopecurus amurensis, Chenopodium album val'. centrorubrum, which could not be found in the group of Miscanthus sinensis, were all distinctly inhibited. In the experiment on the effect of Zea mays on the growth of Angelica gigas, its growth was severely inhibited by one-half to two thirds with the increased concentration in both the cases of growing in the mixture of the soil and the powdered root of Zea mays and being supplied with the leakage water from the pot in which Zea mays was grown.

To survey trail damage and vegetational change around trail at Bukhan Mountain National Park in Korea, field survey was executed over Bukhan mountain district during August, 1987. Trail damage was surveyed for he section of 7.18km from Ui valley to Jeongnung valley in which user's density was high. Ground vegetation was surveyed with a belt-transect method from trail edge to forest and edge species were surveyed with a belt method along trail edge. Interrelation between trail damage and user's density was not dear. Damage class II of trail showed 23.9% of the surveyed section and class III showed 8.0% and class II and III of natural trail showed 19.7% and those of facilitated trail showed 12.3%. The length of damage class II and III requiring readjustment were estimated as 3.65 km and 1.22km from the main trail course of 15.3km at Bukhan mountain district. In case of no intervention to forest by users, vegetational change around trails was appeared up to 6-8 m from trailside. But in case of intervention to forest by users, vegetational change was not coincident with the change of soil hardness and was diverse locally. Quercus mongolica, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya and Rbo-dodendron mucronulatum were appeared as Raunkiaer frequency class E, and Weigela subsessilis. Lespedeza maximowiczii, Rhododendron schlippenbachii and Sorbus alnifolid were appeared as class D at trail edge of ridge-Quercus mongolica was appeared as class E and Rhododenderon mucrounulatium. Stephanandra incisa were appeared as class D at trail edge of midslope. Rhododenron mucronulatum. Lespedeza maximowiczii and Stepanandra incisa were appeared as class D at trail edge of valley. Lespedeza cyrtobotrya. Lespedeza maximowiczii and Stephanandra incisa were appeared as class D at trail edge of valley beside motorway.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the process of natural plant establishment and revegetation on the slopes of landslide scars, both untreated(l4 plots) and treated plots (14 plots) with rehabilitation measures in 1993 and 1994 at Yongin Hwaseong-gun region. While total of 61 species were identified at surveyed sites. in the region, the pioneer species on landslide scars were Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, Arundinella hirta, Artemisia princeps, Pteridium acquilinum, Erigeron canadensis. Rubus crataegifolius, Stephanandra incisa etc. The species diversity (H') and evenness(E') of the untreated scars were greater than those of the treated scars. Similarity indices in the untreated scars were higher than those in the treated scars, and succession indices showed similar value in both areas. As a conclusion, this study shows that the untreated scars were more influenced by the around-vegetation, and the native vegetations(plants) like Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, Arundinella hirta. Miscanthus sinensis, Artemisia princeps, Pteridium acquilinum, Erigeron canadensis. Rubus crataegifolius, Stephanandra incisa ete. could be more effectively used as plant vegetation for rehabilitation of landslide scars.

Wood biomass production at 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year rotations on both low and upper hills at 2m 2m spacing (25,000 trees/ha) was studied for a six-year period with following 12 species; Lespedeza cyrtobotrya Amorpha fruticosa. Robinia pseudoacacia, Acer saccharinum, Platanus orientalis Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa $F_1$, Salix alba, Pinus rigida, Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica, A. inokumai A. gultinosa, and A. incana. In One-year rotation, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya produced largest amoung of biomass (2.6 t/ha/year, fresh weight) and Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa $F_1$ the second largest (2.2 t/ha/year) on low hill. In two-year rotation, the latter produced the largest amount (4.8 t/ha/year) and Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica second largest (2.8 t/ha/year) on low hill. In three-year rotation, the largest weight (11.2 t/ha/year) was produced by Robinia pseudoacacia and the second largest (6.2 t/ha/year) by Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica on low hill Amorpha fruticosa, Acer saccharinum, Platanus orientalis and Salix alba were not suitable for biomass or fuelwood productio due to poor growth. Biomass yield on upper hill was reduced considerably for all tewlve species, with less than 4 t/year at maximum Only nitrogen fixing species (Robinia and Alnus species) are recommended on upper hill for biomass production wood sprouting ability of species was generally associated with good biomass production. Calori values of ovendry wood ranged from 4,485 cal/g for Salix alba to 5,125 cal/g for Alnus glutinosa. For maximum biomass production a three-year ratation with coppice is preferred to one-year and two-year roataions The best species appeared to be Robinia pseudoacacia and Alnus hirsuta var sibirica.

To examine the soil reinforcement by the shrub with shallow root systems for slope stability, we developed insitu apparatus for direct shear test and conducted the insitu field tests for Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, a representative revegetation species for artificial hillslopes. The insitu field tests were conducted for two different soil conditions (the rooted soils and non-rooted soils) and we then compared the experimental values with those calculated from the Wu model. The results showed that the soil reinforcement derived from the insitu field tests ranged from 0.01525 to 0.1438 $kgf/cm^2$ while the one calculated from the Wu model ranged from 0.1952 to 0.2696 $kgf/cm^2$. Our finding suggests more field tests are needed to collect the related parameters in the model application thereby predicting the reliable soil reinforcement by the shrub root systems.

This study was carried out to investigate the early growth of revegetation plants by microorganisms in slope of forest road in Jinju area. The results were summarized as follows; The chemical properties of forest soil were changed by microorganisms. Soil pH, organic mater content, concentrations of total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable cations and CEC in treated plot were increased more than those of controlled plot in the surface soil. It showed that the availability of nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorus was increased by an application of microorganisms in the soil. The coverage rates showed statistically significant differences between plots (p<0.05). The germination rates of woody plants were better in treated plot than in controlled plot. The results indicate that the application of microorganisms would be significantly contributed for the early growth of revegetation plants on slope of forest road.

To figure out the vegetation situation in the ridge of the Naknam-Jeongmaek, six intensive survey sites were selected considering environmental factors and human interferences, 132 quadrats (area $100m^2$) were installed to survey appearing species of trees and major environmental factors, and the characteristics of vegetation structures were analyzed. The surveyed plots were divided into six groups according to the analysis of classification by TWINSPAN; Quercus mongolica-Q. variabilis community, Pinus densiflora-Q. dentata community, Chamaecyparis obtusa community, Q. mongolica-P. densiflora community, P. densiflora-P. thunbergii community, P. koraiensis community, Rhododendron spp.-Lespedeza cyrtobotrya community. P. densiflora-Q. dentata community, Q. mongolica-P. densiflora community, and P. densiflora-P. thunbergii community are expected to be succeeded by deciduous oaks because the power of deciduous oaks is strong in their lower layer. C. obtusa community, P. densiflora community, and Rhododendron spp.-L.cyrtobotrya community are artificial forests that were artificially formed and are expected to be maintained in the current state for some time because the dominance value of planted species of trees is high. Most vegetations in Naknam-Jeongmaek were secondary forests or artificial forests formed for forest tree production and forestation for erosion control. In particular the top regions and hilly sections of the mountain were mostly dominated by deciduous oaks such as Q. mongolica, Q. variabilis showed some P. densiflora community competing with deciduous oaks. On the other hand, low sections and regions adjacent to the city showed severe artificial interference since exotic species such as P. thunbergiil, C. obtusa, P. koraiensis, and Rhododendron spp. were planted.
