This study is to analyze distribution and change of montane meadows on the lava plateau in the east face of Mt. Baekdu. Process for aims carried out field survey, and analyzed landsat images of 1993, 1999, 2004, and year 2010. After research findings, the area of forests has increased by 33% from $636km^2$ to $848km^2$, montane meadow has decreased by 58% from $303km^2$ to $127km^2$ during 18 years. Montane meadows could be classified as 2 categories of wet meadow and dry meadow by the geomorphic environments and vegetation types. Wet meadow has decreased by 30%, dry meadow has decreased by 70% in the same period. Decreasing areas are replacing meadows with forests in invasion by trees and shrubs. According to the analysis with weather data for 16 years from 1993 to 2008, temperature has increased by $1.6^{\circ}C$, on the other hand, precipitation has decreased by 5.3mm. These kinds of climate change trends continue in the future, it could be change montane meadows into tree types.

This pot experiment was conducted to find out the forage productivity and quality in a grass/clover sward as affected by the application of three different fertilizers; double superphosphate(DS), fused Mg-phosphate(FP), and complex fertilizer(CF), on newly reclaimed hilly soil. This 1st part was concerned with the forage yields, yield components and botanical composition. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The significant differences in the yields(relative yields, %) of whole forages and legume were laid in the following increasing order; CF(relative yield: 150.4% in whole forages and 169.7% in ladino clover) > FP(125.4% in whole forages and 121.7% in ladino clover) > DS(100.0%). The yield of orchardgrass was significantly reduced in the DS plot, compared with the yields in the FP and CF plots, whereas these showed no significant differences between the FP and CF plots. 2. In the botanicl composition, it showed that the rates of grass : legume were 48:52% in the DS and FP, and 40:60% in the CF. It was recognized that the application of complex fertilizer contributed to the increasing of the yields of whole forages, and especially legume yield and rate in the mixed sward.

Due to the recent impact of global warming, heavy rainfall and droughts have been occurring regardless of the season, affecting the growth of Italian ryegrass (IRG), a winter forage crop. Particularly, delayed sowing due to frequent heavy rainfall or autumn droughts leads to poor growth and reduced winter survival rates. Therefore, techniques to improve yield through additional sowing in spring have been implemented. In this study, the growth of IRG sown in Spring and Autumn was compared and analyzed using vegetation indices during the months of April and May. Spectral data was collected using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a hyperspectral sensor, and the following vegetation indices were utilized: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI, Normalized Difference Red Edge Index; NDRE (I), Chlorophyll Index, Red Green Ratio Index; RGRI, Enhanced Vegetation Index; EVI and Carotenoid Reflectance Index 1; CRI1. Indices related to chlorophyll concentration exhibited similar trends. RGRI of IRG sown in autumn increased during the experimental period, while IRG sown in spring showed a decreasing trend. The results of RGRI in IRG indicated differences in optical characteristics by sowing seasons compared to the other vegetation indices. Our findings showed that the timing of sowing influences the optical growth characteristics of crops by the results of various vegetation indices presented in this study. Further research, including the development of optimal vegetation indices related to IRG growth, is necessary in the future.

With a purpose of finding out the influences of herbicide treatment on the forage value and ecological characteristics of grassland vegetations in the Rumex acetosella dominated pasture, this trial was arranged as a randomized block design with three treatments[1) Seeding(cntrol), 2)dicamba 4${\ell}$/ha+seeding+dicamba 4 ${\ell}$/ha and 3) dicamba 4${\ell}$/ha+lime+seeding+dicamba 4 ${\ell}$/ha], and conducted in Youngam, Jeonnam Province ftom June, 1995 to October, 1996. In the Rumex acetosella dominated pasture, the treatment of dicamba 4${\ell}$/ha+ lime+seeding+dicamba 4${\ell}$/ha was improved to the most desirable grassland vegetation with pasture plants of 87%. In the renovated grassland, the life forms of Hemicryptophytes increased greatly by 57.0%, on the other hand Geophytes was much more decreased by 56.8% than those of low productive grassland. The similarity coefficients between grassland vegetation groups were greatly affected by botanical composition. The forage value of standing crop in the renovated grassland with 6.56 was much more increased than low productive grassland with 2.76. The treatment of dicamba 4${\ell}$/ha+lime+ seedingdicamba 4${\ell}$/ha increased 2 1% of dry mattaer yield, and were high 18- 19% of energy (NEL and TDN) productivity than those of the control(seeding), respectively.

The vegetation activity of the Korean peninsula has been monitored temporal variations through a satellite remote sensing and the vegetation index was used to set up the vegetation data map of Korea. The AVHRR data sent by the NOAA-14 satellite was collected for 8 months between April and November, 1997 to calculate the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) which was combined the MVC(Maximum Value Composite). Then this NDVI composite map was prepared to review the temporal variations in the vegetation activity. The NDVI has been subject to the unsupervised classification for the growing season between May and October. And the vegetation type is divided into five classes ; urban, bare soil, grass, farming land, deciduous forest and coniferous forest. The unsupervised classificaion of vegetation distribution in the Korean Peninsula shows that the urban and bare soil take 4.14% of total national area, grass 4.49%, farming land 27.54%, deciduous forest 25.61% and coniferous forest 38.22%.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of seeding dates of Italian ryegrass interseeded into bermudagrass sod on the forage productivity and botanical composition of Italian ryegrass and bermudagrass. Experimental plot was located at 200 m altitude within Subtropical Animal Experiment Station, National Institute of Animal Science in Jeju from 2009 to 2010. Seeding date treatments of Italian ryegrass into bermudagrass sod were arranged in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Italian ryegrass was drilled in row 20 cm apart after clipping the bermudagrass at a cutting height of 2~3 cm. Seeding time was on 15 September, 30 September and 15 October. The dry matter yield of Italian ryegrass was higher in 15 September seeding treatment, the dry matter yields of 30 September and 15 October seeding treatment were not different. The Italian ryegrass interseeded into bermudagrass sod didn't affect the dry matter yield in the summer harvests of bermudagrass, and the dry matter yield of bermudagrass showed the highest in August. In botanical composition, Italian ryegrass showed to reduced growth in early seedling stage after seeding by competition with bermudagrass, but Italian ryegrass was dominant to June increasing of temperature in spring next year and bermudagrass after Italian ryegrass harvests was dominant during summer season.

For the purpose of using the guideline to evaluate the grassland based on the botanical composition, a valuation figures which were expressed of nine division scale from 0, very poor to 8, excellent were given to the each , grassland species. At first, a figure was given to the 14 1 herbage plants at the grassland in Korea. Fodder value of the grassland was calculated from these valuation figures of the different species and the DM percentages of each plants which was got by analysis or estimation, were only to be multiplied by the different valuation figures and then the sum of these products divided by hundred. It is suggested that the fodder value of the grassland is not only possible to express the botanical conditions of various experiments in some simple figures, but also compare with different types of grassland at the same time.
