Global climate changes including elevated $CO_2$, drought, and global warming may influence greenhouse gas emissions in wetlands. A variety of microbial communities including denitrifiers and methanogens play a key role in determining such processes. In this paper we summarize current knowledge on the effects of climate changes on $CO_2,\;CH_4$, and $N_2O$ production and microbial communities mediating those processes in wetlands. Elevated atmospheric $CO_2$ and warming generally increase gas emissions, but effects of droughts differ with gas type and drying level. The responses of microbial community to climate changes in terms of composition, diversity and abundance are still in question due to lack of studies in wetlands. Based on the present review, it is suggested that future studies on microbial processes should consider microbial community and relationships between microbial function and structure with diverse environmental factors including climate changes. Such knowledge would be crucial to better understand and predict accurately any shifts in ecological functions of wetlands.

This paper provides some of the scientific background on how projected environmental conditions could affect weeds and weed management in crops. Elevated $CO_2$ levels may have positive effects on crop competitiveness with $C_4$ weeds, but these are generally outnumbered by $C_3$ species in weed populations. Moreover, higher temperatures and drought will favor $C_4$ over $C_3$ plants. The implementation of climate change adaptation technologies, such as drought-tolerant germplasm and water-saving irrigation regimes, will have consequences for crop-weed competition. Rainfed production systems are thought to be most vulnerable to the direct effects of climate change and are likely to face increased competition from $C_4$ and parasitic weeds. Biotic stress-tolerant crop cultivars to be developed for these systems should encompass weed competitiveness and parasitic-weed resistance. In irrigated systems, indirect effects will be more important and weed management strategies should be diversified to lessen dependency on herbicides and mechanical control, and be targeted to perennial rhizomatous ($C_3$) weeds. Water-saving production methods that replace a weed-suppressive floodwater layer by intermittent or continuous periods of aerobic conditions necessitate additional weed management strategies to address the inherent increases in weed competition. Thus, climatic conditions have a great effect on weed population dynamics all over the world.

Adverse environmental conditions such as drought, high salt and cold/freezing are major factors that reduces crop productivity worldwide. According to a survey, 50-80% of the maximum potential yield is lost by these "environmental or abiotic stresses", which is approximately ten times higher than the loss by biotic stresses. Thus, improving stress-tolerance of crop plants is an important way to improve agricultural productivity, In order to develop such stress-tolerant crop plants, we set out to identify key stress signaling components that can be used to develop commercially viable crop varieties with enhanced stress tolerance. Our primary focus so far has been on the identification of transcription factors that regulate stress responsive gene expression, especially those involved in ABA-mediated stress response. Be sessile, plants have the unique capability to adapt themselves to the abiotic stresses. This adaptive capability is largely dependent on the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA), whose level increases under various stress conditions, triggering adaptive response. Central to the response is ABA-regulated gene expression, which ultimately leads to physiological changes at the whole plant level. Thus, once identified, it would be possible to enhance stress tolerance of crop plants by manipulating the expression of the factors that mediate ABA-dependent stress response. Here, we present our work on the isolation and functional characterization of the transcription factors.n factors.

농업가뭄은 강수의 부족으로 인하여 농업용 저수지의 저수량 저하로 농작물 생육 및 수확량의 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로, 농업가뭄평가는 강수량뿐만 아니라 작물의 생육시기별 필요수량과 용수공급능력을 모두 고려할 수 있어야 한다. 농업가뭄관리의 주요 대상인 논벼는 기본적으로 수원공과 관개지역 사이의 물수지를 판단함으로써 농업가뭄의 위험을 정의할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄관리가 필요한 농업용 저수지 관개지구의 농업가뭄 평가를 위해 논 물수지 분석 모형과 저수지 물수지 분석 모형을 구성하고, 용수수급해석의 결과로부터 가뭄의 크기를 객관화하고 가뭄의 단계를 평가할 수 있도록 빈도개념을 적용한 저수지가뭄지수 (Reservoir Drought Index, RDI)를 이용하여 농업가뭄을 분석 평가하였다. 또한 농업용 저수지의 저수량 모의치와 실시간 저수위를 이용하여 경험적으로 농업용 저수지의 유입량을 자동으로 보정하여 장기적으로 최적화할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였으며, 과거 유효강수량을 시기별로 나누어 빈도분석을 통해 농업가뭄대응을 위한 가뭄 기상시나리오를 사용하여 향후 가뭄의 여러 가지 패턴에 따른 농업가뭄을 전망하였다. 이러한 다양한 시나리오를 통해 실제 물 관리 및 가뭄대책 업무에 반영하고 농업가뭄대응책 수립 및 농업수자원관리의 의사결정을 수립하는데 기초자료가 될 것으로 판단된다.

Abiotic stress is the primary cause of crop loss worldwide, reducing average yields for most major crop plants by more than 50%. In addition, future agricultural production and management will encounter multifaceted challenges from global climate change. Therefore, it is necessary to study the molecular response of crop plants to the stresses in order to develop appropriate strategies to sustain food production under adverse environmental conditions. We carried out a large scale proteomic analysis of soybean plants in response to various abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, waterlogging and their interactions. Proteins were analyzed by two dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The identified proteins are involved in a wide range of cellular functions. In addition to the well known stress-associated proteins, we identified several novel proteins, which were not reported before. In many cases our proteomic data bridges the gap between mRNA and metabolite data. Our studie provides new insights into identification of abiotic stress responsive proteins in soybean, and demonstrates the advantages of proteomic analysis in dissecting metabolic and regulatory networks.

최근 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 폭염, 가뭄, 홍수 등 기상 재해의 발생빈도가 상승하고 있으며, 강우 집중도와 변동성이 증가함에 따라 2010년 이후 2014년을 제외한 현재까지 지속적인 농업가뭄의 발생으로 연속적인 가뭄 피해를 겪고 있다. 근대적 수리시설의 발달과 선제적 가뭄대책 등으로 가뭄대응력은 향상되어 피해 수준은 과거에 비해 상대적으로 적은 편이나 정량적인 가뭄피해 평가의 기준이나 피해 평가 사례가 미흡하다. 일반적으로 기상학적 가뭄은 표준강수지수(Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI)를 활용하고 있으며, 농업적 가뭄은 농촌수자원의 주요한 용수공급시설인 농업용 저수지의 용수공급능력과 관개지역의 필요수량을 평가하여 시기별로 부족 수량을 산정하고 가뭄강도를 정량화함으로써 농업가뭄 상황을 평가할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상학적 가뭄 지수인 SPI와 농업용 저수지의 용수공급능력, 농업적 가뭄 피해 지역의 관련 자료 등을 수집하여 농업 가뭄의 직접 피해를 중심으로 기상학적 가뭄 정도에 따른 농업적 가뭄 피해에 대한 상관성을 살펴보고자 한다.

현재 우리나라의 가뭄감시 정보는 기상학적/농업적/수문학적 가뭄이 별도의 지수로 개발되어 다양한 형태의 정보를 생산·제공되고 있다. 각각의 가뭄 지수들 기준 및 특성에 따라 분석되고 있기 때문에 가뭄전문가의 입장에서는 매우 정밀한 가뭄정보를 제공받는 장점이 있는 반면에, 일반 국민들이 가뭄 정보를 받아들이고 이해하는데 어려움이 있어 이를 한눈에 알아볼 수 있는 통합가뭄지도가 필요하며, 통합가뭄도를 제작하기 위해서는 통합가뭄지수가 개발되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 원격탐사자료를 활용하여 농업적 가뭄지수인 Agricultural Dry Condition Index (ADCI)와 수문학적 가뭄지수인 Water Budget-based Drought Index (WBDI)를 개발하였으며, 기상학적 가뭄지수인 Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI)를 포함하여 기상-농업-수문학적 가뭄지수를 결합한 통합가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 다양한 가뭄지수를 활용하여 개발되었기 때문에 다변량 통계 모형 중 선형 모형인 Principal Component Analysis (PCA)기법과 비선형 모형인 Kernel Entropy PCA, Kernel PCA를 적용하였다. 또한 과거 가뭄사상을 활용하여 산정된 통합가뭄지수 검증을 위해 과거 가뭄사상에 대한 가뭄 발생시기, 심도, 쇠퇴패턴이 양상 평가 및 Intentionally Biased Bootstrap Resampling (IBBR)을 활용한 지수별 민감도 분석을 통해 통합가뭄지수 적용성 평가를 진행하였다.

농업적 가뭄을 모니터링하기 위해 토양수분량, 증발산량, 지하수위 등을 이용하며, 농업용 저수지의 저수율을 기반으로 농업용수 공급능력을 평가해 왔다. 특히, 농업용 저수지에 대한 농업적 가뭄을 평가하기 위해 저수율 관측 자료를 저수율을 이용하거나, 관측 자료가 없는 경우 물수지 모형을 이용한 연구는 다수 진행되어 왔다. 다만, 농업적 가뭄을 전망하는데 있어 물수지 모형의 활용은 입력 자료의 구축 및 기상예보자료의 활용 기술 부족으로 많은 평가가 진행되지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 기상예보자료와 회귀모델을 연계한 농업적 가뭄전망정보를 산정하고, 활용성을 평가하였다. 기상예보자료는 기상청 현업예보 모델인 GloSea5로부터 생산된 자료를 이용하였으며, 농업적 가뭄을 평가하기 위해 농업용 저수율 자료 기반인 RDI (Reservoir Drought Index)를 활용하였다. 농업적 가뭄전망정보는 현재의 수문조건이 지속된다는 가정 하에 예보선행시간 3개월까지 산정하였다. 가뭄전망정보를 평가하기 위해 과거 가뭄사상을 대상으로 산정하였으며, 전망정보의 예측성은 통계분석을 이용하여 정량적으로 평가하였다. 금회 제시한 연구방법은 현재의 수문조건이 지속될 시 기상예보에 따른 농업적 가뭄을 예측할 수 있다는 점에서 활용성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Salinity which is often detected on reclaimed land is a major detrimental factor to crop growth. It would be advantageous to develop an approach for assessment of salinity and drought damages using a non-destructive method in a large landfills area. The objective of this study was to examine applicability of the decision tree classifier using imagery for classifying for spring potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) damaged by salinity or drought at vegetation growth stages. We focused on comparing the accuracies of OA (Overall accuracy) and KC (Kappa coefficient) between the simple reflectance and the band ratios minimizing the effect on the light unevenness. Spectral merging based on the commercial band width with full width at half maximum (FWHM) such as 10 nm, 25 nm, and 50 nm was also considered to invent the multispectral image sensor. In the case of the classification based on original simple reflectance with 5 nm of FWHM, the selected bands ranged from 3-13 bands with the accuracy of less than 66.7% of OA and 40.8% of KC in all FWHMs. The maximum values of OA and KC values were 78.7% and 57.7%, respectively, with 10 nm of FWHM to classify salinity and drought damages of spring potato. When the classifier was built based on the band ratios, the accuracy was more than 95% of OA and KC regardless of growth stages and FWHMs. If the multispectral image sensor is made with the six bands (the ratios of three bands) with 10 nm of FWHM, it is possible to classify the damaged spring potato by salinity or drought using the reflectance of images with 91.3% of OA and 85.0% of KC.
