  • Weight loss, N and P dynamics during decomposition of fine roots (<2mm) of alder(Alnus japonica), oak (Quercus acutissima) and pitch pine(Pinus rigida) were studied for 33 months in Kongju, Korea. After 33 months, remaining weight of fine roots of alder, oak and pitch pine was 29.2%, 47.7% and 53.4% of the initial weight, respectively. The decomposition rate constant (k) for alder, oak and pitch pine was 0.448 $yr^1$, 0.269 $yr^1$, 0.228 $yr^1$, respectively. Initial concentration of N and P in fine roots was 10.32mg/g and 0.69mg/g for alder, 6.20mg/g and 0.37mg/g for oak and 7.26mg/g and 0.44mg/g for pitch pine, respectively. Initial concentration of N and P in alder were higher than those in oak and pitch pine. After 33 months, remaining N and P in fine roots was 39.5$\%$ and 31.8$\%$ for alder, 59.4$\%$ and 57.8$\%$ for oak, 63.0$\%$ and 83.4$\%$ for pitch pine, respectively. Decomposition rate and the rate of N released from decomposing fine roots was positively correlated with the initial N concentration of the fine roots.

  • In order to predict substituent and Lewis acid effects on the regiospecificity of the Diels-Alder reaction, and to investigate the competition for the complexation of Lewis acid between diene and dienophile, frontier orbital theory has been applied to thermal and catalyzed Diels-Alder reaction by means of CNDO/2 MO method. It has been found that: (1) Lewis acid coordinated preferentially with diene rather than dienophile when carbonyl oxygen of acetoxy substituted diene had larger negative atomic charges than that of dienophile. (2) Most of the reaction were neutral electron demand type, and hence 4-C, 2-C and quantitative secondary orbital interacion methods were generally in good accord with experiments. (3) Sulfur activated the adjacent terminal carbon atom greatly to increase diene LUMO-dienophile HOMO interaction through vacant-d-orbital participation, and played an important role in controlling regioselectivity of neutral electron demand reaction type.
