With physico-chemical environmental factors such as temperature, DO, pH, conductivity and nutrients, size fractionated of phytoplankton standing crops and chlorophyll a concentrations $(>8\mu{m},\;3-8\mu{m},\;<3\mu{m})$ and their relationships were investigated at each station of Kyungan Stream and Togyo Reservoir from April to November in 1997. The two sampling sites showed different nutrient status: Kyungan Stream was eutrophic, while Togyo Reservoir was mesotrophic. Large sizes of phytoplankton and chl. a were higher in Kyungan Stream, opposite to those of Togyo Reservoir; Standing crops of phytoplankton $(>8\mu{m)$ and chl. a $(3-8\mu{m)}$ were high in Kyung-an Stream, while phytoplankton $(3-8\mu{m)}$and chi. a $(<3\mu{m)$ were abundant in Togyo Reservoir. These results imply that phytoplankton community in the highly eutrophicated water mainly comprised the large filamentous and/or colonial algae, such as Microcystis spp. and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, which easily enriched by nutrients loading.

Researches on estimating national-scaled forest biomass are being carried out to quantify the carbon stock of forests with the Kyoto Protocol. In general, estimates of national-scaled forest biomass are based on forest inventory data which provides estimates of forest area, stem volume, and growth of stem by age classes. Estimates of forest biomass are, however, obtained by converting stem volumes to dry weight with stem density and thereafter to whole tree biomass with biomass expansion factors (ratios of whole tree dry weight to stem dry weight). Pinus densiflora is widely distributed and one of the most economically important timber species in Korea. The species are largely grouped into two ecotypes of Geumgang and Jungbu. Stems of Geumgang type trees are straight and high compared to those of Jungbu type trees. The objective of this study was to determine and compare stem density and biomass expansion factors fore two ecotypes of Pinus densiflora according to stand age. Stem density of both ecotypes of Pinus densora increased and biomass expansion factors of them decreased with increasing tree age. In he same age class, stem density and biomass expansion factor of Geungang type Pinus densiflora were lower than those of Jungbu type Pinus densiflora. There were statistically significant differences in stem density and biomass expansion factors between Geumgang type and Jungbu type Pinus densiflora in 0-20-year-old stands and 40-60-year-old stands. Our results suggested that the reliability of the national forest biomass inventory could be improved by applying the ecotype- and age-dependent stem density and biomass expansion factors.

In order to study the relationship between water quality and phytoplankton standing crops, the authors investigated the physicochemical factors, phytoplankton standing crops and chlorophyll-a at two stations in the Daechung Reservoir during the period from May to November 1998. Nutrients (nitrite, nitrate, ammonia and phosphate) have gradually increased more than those of the previous reports. Concentrations of the total nitrogen, phosphorus, chlorophyll -a and transparency exceeded the standard value of eutrophication. It could be assumed that the eutrophication of the Daechung reservoir was caused by various pollutants. Chlorophyll-a concentration was under the influence of phytoplankton standing crops, but very tiny cell-sized blue-green algae were less important in regards to the chlorophyll-a. Except at station 1 from July to August, phytoplankton standing crops bloomed during the time of the survey. Spring phytoplankton blooms caused by nitrate and phosphate in the surface layer. High concentrations of the suspended solids in July and August were caused by an inflow of them due to heavy rains. Density of heterotrophic bacteria was high in August owing to the high water temperatures and the organic nutrients which were from the nearby reservoir.

Diurnal vertical distribution of phytoplankton and physico-chemical characteristics were studied in Kongsan reservoir during summer 1996, when a dense algal bloom, consisting mostly of Microcystis, developed. The maximum biomass was observed near the surface layer, where Microcystis aeruginosa dominated and declined gradually with depth. The dense population of blue-green alga M. aeruginosa acumulated near the surface layer during the early morning and evening, but abruptly decreased after sunrise. The most of biomass was distributed above 5 m of the water column and diurnal changes of biomass clearly appeared at the surface but was not showed upward and downward migration. The results of this study suggest that diurnal variation of biomass at the surface layer was affected by horizontal migration with wind.

The distribution and standing crop of phytoplankton were investigated at 12 stations of Songjiho, Ssangho, Maeho and Hyangho as of four lagoons in the east coast from May to November, 2001. It turned out to be total of 164 taxa, and classified as four phylums, four classes, 14 orders, 20 families, 59 genera, 139 species, 22 varieties, two forms and 1 unidentified species by Engler's classification system. Among 104 taxa, 16 taxa including Oscillatoria chlorina were identified as indicators of water pollution and only Cocconeis placentula was the indicator of the clean water. Standing crops of all stations investigated appeared to be relatively high values. Based on the present study upon the distribution and standing crop of phytoplankton, it is regarded as the state of the eutrophication in Songjiho, Ssangho, Maeho and Hyangho as of four lagoons in the east coast.

유용 수산생물인 전복, 소라, 성게 등 무척추동물의 종묘생산에 있어 부착 규조류는 수서 생태계의 일차 생산자로서 유생의 변태와 변태 후의 초기 먹이생물로 활용되고 있으며 최근에는 단일 부착규조류의 실내 배양을 통해 유용 수산생물 종묘의 대량 생산을 유도하고 있다. 부착규조류의 생물량 및 종 조성에 따라 이들 조식동물의 성장과 먹이 효율성에 커다란 영향을 끼친다. 이 연구는 종묘생산의 환경 조건과 동일한 현장에서 유수식 수조에 투명 플라스틱 부착파판(30$\times$40cm)을 설치하여 1997년 10월부터 1999년 4월까지 실내수조에 설치한 부착파판을 10일 간격으로 회수하여 부착된 규조류의 생물량과 환경적 특성을 조사하였다. 실험기간 동안 자연광을 55~75% 차단한 상태에서 실험을 진행하였고 수온과 염분은 각각 14.1$^{\circ}C$~28.6$^{\circ}C$와 32.5$\textperthousand$~35.3$\textperthousand$의 범위를 보였다. 실험기간 동안 부착규조류의 총 출현종수는 27종(17속 25종 2미동정종)으로 중심규조류(centric diatom)가 4종 그리고 우상규조류(pennate diatom)가 23종이었다. 현존량의 30% 이상을 점유하는 부착 규조류들은 Bacillaria paxillifera, Cocconeis scutellum, Diatoma hyalina, Navicula mollis, Nitzschia sp., Synedra tabulta 등 6종이 우점하였다. 부착규조류의 현존량은 2.5$\times$$10^3$~ 5.0$\times$$10^{5}$ cells $cm^{-2}$ 의 분포 범위로 1999년 4월에 가장 높고 1997년 10월에 가장 낮았다. Chlorophyll $\alpha$량 ($\mu\textrm{g}$ chl $\alpha$ $cm^{-2}$)은 0.02 ~ 1.72 $\mu\textrm{g}$ chi $\alpha$ $cm^{-2}$의 범위로써 부착규조류의 현존량과 유사한 분포 특성을 보였다. 유수식 실내수조에 부착된 부착규조류의 부착 형태, 우점종과 현존량은 배양 시기에 따라 종간 특이성을 보였다.다.

Twelve Camellia sinensis populations were studied to investigate the biomass distribution related to stand structure. With increasing mean age of the population, mean root collar diameter increased, while mean height, density and root collar area had no correlation with the age. The result of dimension analysis after cutting the sample trees showed that dry weights of stems +branches and root were exponentially increased and dry weights of current leaves and twigs were linearly increased with increasing root collar diameter. However, the dry weight of older leaves was not related to the root collar diameter. The range of total biomass was 1,162~11,474kg/ha and the range of current leaf biomass was 165~1,341kg/ha. The range of T/R ratio was 1.5~2.8. The biomass of stems+branches and root were significantly correlated with the root collar area of the population and were not significantly correlated with the mean age, mean root collar diameter and density of the population. The biomass of current leaves and twigs were significantly correlated with the root collar area and density of the population.

The above ground biomass and annual net productivity of Salix nipponica were estimated by the allometric method in the littoral zone of Parksil-nup wetland, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do Korea. The density of stems and individuals per hectare were 14,950 and 6,140, respectively and the mean number of stems per individual was 2.43. The proportion of the above ground biomass of stem, branch, and leaf were 59.2%, 28.3% and 12.5%, respectively. The standing crops was 109.7 ton/ha and total phytomass was 926.7 ton in the study area. Annual net production was 25.3 ton/ha estimated from the standing crops and the age structure.
