This study was conducted to find out the growth pattern of Pinus koraiensis plantation over 34 years, focusing on DBH, height, basal area and allometric change. Total increment (TI), mean annual increment (MAI) and correlation coefficient were calculated and compared with stand and dominants. Total increment and mean annual increment of both DBH and height of dominants were bigger than those of stand. The difference was apparently shown bigger in DBH than height. Unlike DBH and height the total increment and mean annual increment of basal area per hectare of dominants were distinctively smaller than those of stand. Furthermore MAI of dominant was increasing until age 42, while MAI of stand increased at early ages and then gradually decreased after culmination like MAIs of DBH and height. MAIs of basal area of dead trees at each measurement tended to increase until early age (18 years in this study), while it reached a peak and gradually decrease after that (21 years in this study). Correlation coefficient between DBH and height tended to decrease as both dominant and stand age and the difference between dominant and stand was not clearly shown over the measurement period. Correlation coefficients between DBH and crown width tended to decrease as the trees age and correlation coefficients of dominant were clearly shown smaller than that of stand. Correlation coefficients of height and crown width also was found to be similar to correlation coefficients between DBH and crown. Meanwhile correlation coefficient of height and crown width dropped more radically than coefficient of DBH and crown width as the trees age.

Length-weight relationships (LWR) for 27 fish species inhabit Southern sea in Korea were investigated to describe several biological characters. Total 7,399 individuals were collected by R/V Tamgu-20 using bottom trawl between 2018 to 2019 and were identified as 19 families and 27 species. Parameter b ranged from 2.414 to 3.472. Thirteen species among 27 species showed isometric growth (b=3), six species showed negative allometry (b<3) and eight species showed positive allometry (b>3). The results of this study provide useful basic biological information about 27 fishes and are highly reliable due to use of data measured directly.

본 연구는 동해 중부 연안에 출현하는 명태(Gadus chalcogrammus)의 산란기, 체장-체중 관계(weight-length relationships, WLRs), 비만도(condition factor)를 조사하였다. 생식소숙도지수(gonadosomatic index, GSI))의 월변화를 통하여 추정한 명태의 산란기는 12월에서 3월이었다. 전반적인 체장-체중 관계식의 지수값 b는 2.806이었고, 2.778 (암컷)에서 2.980 (미성숙 그룹)의 범위를 나타냈다. b값은 암수 사이에서 유사하였으나, 미성숙 그룹과 비산란기 동안 성숙 그룹 또는 산란기 보다 유의하게 높은 값을 나타냈다. 비만도는 미성숙 그룹에서 성숙 그룹보다 유의하게 높았으나, 산란기와 비산란기, 암컷과 수컷 사이에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다.

버드나무 속 식물은 하천 복원시 사용되는 대표적인 생물재료이고 하천에서 주요 관리대상이 되는 식물이다. 낙동강의 모래하천 하안에서 선버들과 왕버들의 수령에 따른 생장 변화를 파악하기 위하여, 이들의 생물량 추정을 위한 상대생장식을 유도하고 입지 연령에 다른 이들 군집에서 밀도, 줄기 높이, 기저면적 및 생물량을 조사하였다. 선버들은 발아한 후 3년과 왕버들은 6년까지 줄기 밀도가 급격하게 감소하여 자기 솎음이 강하게 일어났다. 두 식물의 줄기 높이는 선버들은 수령 15년에 7.5 m까지 왕버들은 수령 13년에 14 m까지 증가하였다. 또한 지상부 생물량은 생장초기에 급속히 증가하였으며 선버들은 수령 13년에 17 ton DM/ha까지 왕버들은 수령 13년에 1,110 ton DM/ha까지 증가하였다. 한편 본 연구에서 유도된 버드나무 속 식물의 상대생장식을 이용하면 이들 식물의 생물량을 객관적으로 추정할 수 있어서 하천에서 수목 관리하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

산림 바이오매스는 임목의 크기와 산림의 성숙도, 임지의 생산성(Productivity)을 대표할 수 있는 인자로 활용된다. 따라서 이를 정량적으로 평가하는 것은 산림경영과 수확뿐만 아니라 이산화탄소(CO₂) 흡수를 포함한 생태계 기능과 서비스의 평가를 위해서도 매우 중요하다. 상대생장식(Allometric equation)은 식물의 상대생장관계(Relative growth rate)를 통해 각 부분의 값을 추정하는 방법으로, 과거부터 현재까지 폭 넓게 활용되는 방법론이다. 최근 대기중의 CO₂ 농도증가와 이에 따른 기후변화로 인해 수목의 상대생장관계가 바뀌고 있다는 연구결과들이 도출되면서, 기존에 개발된 상대생장식과 계수들에 대한 재검토 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국가산림자원조사(NFI) 자료를 통해 우리나라 주요 4개 수종[소나무(Pinus densiflora; PD), 낙엽송(Larix kaempferi; LK), 굴참나무(Quercus variabilis BL.; QV), 신갈나무(Quercus mongolica; QM)]의 수고-DBH 상대생장관계를 분석하고, 이를 기존 수확표 정보와 비교하여 지난 10년간 상대생장의 변화 유무 및 정도를 파악하고자 하였다. 분석결과 모든 수종에서 NFI 차수가 증가할수록, 동일 DBH에 대한 기대 수고값이 증가한 것으로 확인되었다. 예를 들면, 모형 분석결과 PD, LK, QV, QM의 DBH 25 cm에 대한 수고의 기댓값은 5차 NFI 자료에서는 12.48, 19.17, 14.47, 13.19 m로, 7차 NFI 자료에서는 13.61(+9.1%), 21.58(+12.7%), 15.76(+8.9%), 13.93 m (+5.6%) 로 추정되어 수종별로 5~13%정도 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 현재 우리나라 산림의 주요 수종들의 임목 생장은, 과거 조사자료를 통해 파악된 수종별 수고-DBH 발달경향과 비교 했을 때, 직경생장보다 수고생장을 더 활발하게 하고 있다는 것을 의미한다.

This study examined the biomass data estimated from different allometric models and calculated the mean aboveground biomass, mean belowground biomass and root/shoot ratio values according to the forest types and age classes. These mean values and the forest inventories in 2009 were used to estimate the aboveground and total biomass carbon storage in different forest types (coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests). The aboveground and total biomass carbon storage for all forest types in Korea were 350.201 Tg C and 436.724 Tg C. Over the past 36 years, plantations by reforestation programs have accounted for more than 70% of the observed carbon storage. The carbon storage in Korean forest biomass was 436.724 Tg C, of which 175.154 Tg C for coniferous forests, 126.772 Tg C for deciduous forests and 134.518 Tg C for mixed forests, comprising approximately 1/20 of the total carbon storage of the East Asian countries. The total carbon storage for the whole forest sector in Korea was 1213.122 Tg C, of which 436.724 Tg C is stored in forest biomass if using the ratio of carbon storage in different pools examined from the United States. Such large carbon storage in Korean forests is due mainly to active plantations growth and management practices.

Improving the urban environmental quality relies mainly on the increasing of urban forests capacity to store carbon dioxide. This study assesses the floristic diversity of urban institutional lands in Bukavu and their potential to reduce atmospheric $CO_2$. An exhaustive inventory over three sites ($Coll{\grave{e}}ge$ Alfajiri, $Cath{\acute{e}}drale$ Notre-Dame de la Paix and Institut $Sup{\acute{e}}rieur$ $P{\acute{e}}dagogique$) of Bukavu led to the identification of 1,113 trees of which the diameter at breast height (1.30 m) ranged from 4.9 to 161 cm. Results reveal a floristic diversity made up of 4 families of conifers with 4 species and 14 of broadleaves with 21 species. Average densities were of $54trees\;ha^{-1}$ and $5.21m^2\;ha^{-1}$ of basal area. Urban-based allometric equations used yielded up to 312.8 tons of carbon stored in trees aboveground biomass equivalent to 1,147.9 tons of $CO_2$ reduced from the atmosphere over the three sites. The rate of carbon storage reaches $15.1tons\;ha^{-1}$. Thus, trees of the three institutional sites in Bukavu play an important role in reducing atmospheric $CO_2$ and contribute, thereby, to mitigate global climate change effects. Given the current environmental challenge associated with high population growth rate in cities, the urban forest ecosystem in DRC requires to be extended and further investigation.

Scinaia latifrons Howe occurs in rhodolith beds between 9 to 27 m depths at San Lorenzo channel, Gulf of California, Mexico. As very little was known about the morphometrics of this normally temperate species in a subtropical area, we investigated the phenological changes from December 1998 to December 1999. The gametophytic phase of the species was present from late February to late May, which represented a shorter time period to other known species in the genus. Our results suggested that two gametophytic cohorts develop over winter and early spring based on the size class structure of the frond height. Thalli became reproductively mature at a small size (1-2 cm in height) and all the plants were monoecious. Scinaia latifrons at the study location underwent allometric growth, indicated by the lack of correlation between size, width of the plants, or branching patterns.

The influence of age on the relative growth patterns of subcutaneous, intermuscular, intramuscular, perirenal, channel and hump fat in relation to the total fat weight in carcass sides of 18 Najdi male camels averaging 8, 16 and 26 months of age has been investigated. The total fat weight in a carcass side increased (p<.01) from 17.3% to 27.1% as the camel age increased from 8 to 26 months. However, at all ages studied, intermuscular fat weight was the largest fat depot, followed, in order, by subcutaneous and intramuscular fat. The change in weight of the intramuscular, intermuscular and subcutaneous fat between 8 and 26 months of age was greater, reaching 6.7, 4.3 and 4 times respectively, than the hump, channel and perirenal fat weight which increased by 3.6, 2.5 and 2.3 times, respectively. The allometric growth coefficient (${\beta}$) for intramuscular fat in relation to the total carcass fat weight was the highest, followed, in order, by intermuscular, subcutaneous, hump, channel and perirenal fat.
