The fluctuation of old climate was studied by the analysis of radial growth in trees, since 1782. For the effects of environmental factors on the radial growth, the authors proposed the relative radial growth(Rg) concept modified the emperical equation of Fritts (1969) as follow: Yt=aebt Yt: theoretical annual ring width time t a and b: constants in different tree species Rg=Yt/Yt Rg: ratio of real radial growth to theoretical growth with age Yt: real annual radial growth Used the Rg value, the relationship between climatic conditions and the radial growth during 70 years was investigated, and the fluctuations in climate during the last 200 years with the historical records was detected.

To elucidate the effects of a hydroelectric dam construction on annual ring growth of Pinus densiflora, the annual ring widths of 68 trees collected from 7 sites were closely examined. The result was analyzed to ask three special questions first, whether there are real effects of dam construction on the radial growth second, would the magnitude of the effect be different due to two periods of under-construction and post-construction the last, would it be different among age classes. Annual ring growth has been significantly enhanced by the dam construction. Specially, its effect was marked after the construction was finished and the reservoir was filled up with water. There was, however, no remarkable evidence that pine growth would be reduced while the dam was under construction, even though there was a minor decreasing trend. The magnitude of the effect was different among age groups. That is, the changed condition after the construction enhanced relatively the growth of aged trees monre. According to other meterological research since the dam was constructed, the reasons of enhancing pine growth assumed to be the increase of daily temperature, the decreased of daily temperature difference and the increased of rainy days.

본 연구는 한국 중부지방의 소나무와 참나무류의 생장에 기후와 지형인자가 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 입목의 반경생장량과 기상 인자간의 관계를 규명하기 위해 수목의 목편을 채취하고 연년반경생장량을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서는 연년반경생장량이 기본적으로 수령에 영향을 받는다고 가정하여 수령을 독립변수로 하는 생장량을 추정하고 이를 기반으로 수령 30년 일때의 생장량을 표준생장량으로 정의하여 추정하였다. 표준생장량의 공간분석을 통해 소나무 생장의 공간적인 변이성을 발견하였으며, Generalized Additive Model(GAM) 통해 지형 및 기상인자와 표준 생장량간의 관계를 밝힐 수 있었다. 기온상승은 소나무 생장에는 부(-)의 영향을 참나무에는 양(+)의 영향을 주며, 강수량 증가는 두 수종 모두에게 부(-)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 표준생장량과 지형 및 기상 인자간의 관계식을 GIS기반 임상도의 소나무와 참나무류 공간분포에 적용하여 기온상승에 대한 소나무와 참나무류의 공간분포변화를 예측하였다. 이를 통해 우리나라의 소나무는 참나무류에 비해 기후변화에 취약하며, 60년 이후에는 동해안 및 남부지역을 중심으로 대부분의 소나무림이 참나무류림으로 대체될 것으로 예측되었다.

The floristic composition and structure of the Oriental Arbor-viate forest, natural monument no. 1, were investigated in the Daegu city, southeastern Korea. Vegetation stratification have four layers including tree (＞5m), subtree (2m-5m), shrub (1m-2m) and herbs (＜1m), which occupied 63.8%, 10.7%, 12.1% and 49.4%, respectively. The vegetation of the study area were divided into Artemisia keiskeana - Quercus variabilis and Pyrrosia linearifolia-Thuja orientalis (OAV) communities. Frequency distribution for diameter classes of the Oriental Arbor-vitae population showed a reverse-J shape. The result suggests that the OAV forest of this site might maintains continuously the present state. The annual radial growth of OAV, Pinus densiflora and Quercus variabilis, the dominant species of the present site showed 0.29, 1.01 and 1.28 mm/year, respectively. Competition of OAV with theh other species including P. densiflora and Q. variabilis could influence negatively on the growthand survival of OAV forest in this site.

Changing patterns and the possibility of climate change in the area of Cheiudo island, the southernmost Island in Korea, were analyzed using daily temperature and Precipitation data observed at the Cheiu Regional Meteorological Office from May 1923 to December 1998. A hydrologic simulation model "BROOK" was used to simulate and analyze the dynamics of daily soil moisture content and soil moisture deficit by applying the daily weather data. During the period, significantly increasing pattern was observed in temperature data of both annual and monthly basis, while no significantly changing pattern was observed in precipitation data. During the last 76 years. mean annual temperature was observed to have risen about 1.4$^{\circ}C$, which may show the Possibility of the initiation of climate change on the island whose validity should be tested in future studies after long-term studies on temperature. Based on the simulation, due to increased temperature, significant increase was predicted in evapotranspiration. while no significant decrease was detected in simulated soil moisture content during the period. Changing pattern of annual soil moisture content was markedly different from those of precipitation. In some dominant trees, negative effects of the drought of the late season for the previous year were shown to be statistically significant to radial growth of the tree for the current year. As annual variation of radial growth of trees is mainly affected by the soil moisture content. the information on the dynamics of soil moisture deficit possibly provides us with useful information for the interpretation of tree growth decline on the mountain. mountain.

The current study aimed to investigate the impact of CO₂ enrichment on the width of annual tree rings, earlywood and latewood, and the area of annual growth of Pinus densiflora Siebold & Zucc. grown in open-top chamber (OTC). To this end, two CO₂ enrichment cases were considered, namely 1.4 × increment (560 ppm in OTC-II) and 1.8 × (720 ppm in OTC-III) were compared with the current atmosphere (400 ppm in OTC-I). The CO₂ enrichment conditions for a period of 12 years (2010-2021) were considered, and all measurements were done through image analysis. The study showed that the increment in CO₂ concentrations positively affected the tree growth. The measurement data from the trees in OTC-III were considerably higher than those from OTC-I, whereas those from OTC-II were slightly higher than those from OTC-I. Decreasing patterns of the measured widths and area in 6-7 years after the beginning of CO₂ enrichment was found for all the OTCs. These patterns were possibly due to changes in the physiological features, such as aging. The findings of the present study can have potential uses as fundamental data for forest management considering CO₂ concentrations.

We measured radial growth of Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa growing in Gangneung, Boseong, Yangsan and Ulleung-do, respectively and analyzed its relationship with temperature and precipitation. We found from the result of tree ring counting that forest stands of Cryptomeria japonica in Gangneung and Boseong was 40 to 50 years old and 50 to 70 years old in Yangsan and Ulleung-do. According to climate change, the mean temperature in Gangneung was found to be $12^{\circ}C$ to $13^{\circ}C$ which was similar to that of Boseong and Yangsan 40 to 50 years ago. While the result of the radial growth measured from Cryptomeria japonica in Gangneung showed a slightly decreasing tendency compared to the other areas, Chamaecyparis obtusa showed an increasing tendency. In the case of Cryptomeria japonica, a strong negative correlation between radial growth and climate related variables including both mean temperature and mean precipitation existed in Ulleung. There was a strong negative correlation between radial growth and mean temperature for Chamaecyparis obtusa in Yangsan, although there was a positive correlation in Gangneung and Yangsan.

이 연구는 환경친화적이며 생태적 숲관리를 위한 활엽수의 조림기술을 개발하고자 강원도 홍천군 내면지역에 1979∼1982년에 대규모의 활엽수 조림단지를 조성했던 지역의 물푸레나무 조림지와 천연림으로 비교적 생장이 양호한 평창군 진부면 지역의 물푸레나무가 많은 천연활엽수림에 대한 임분구조 및 직경생장을 조사, 비교하였다. 조림 후 7, 8년까지의 직경생장에 임분간 유의차가 인정되었다. 연평균직경생장량은 맹아림에서 4.60mm/year로 최대값이었으며 다음으로 천연림의 물푸레나무가 4.59mm/year, 조림된 물푸레나무림에서는 4.18mm/year로 최소값을 보였다. 조림한 물푸레나무의 초기의 직경생장이 맹아갱신된 나무나 천연생의 나무보다 지극히 낮다는 것은 물푸레나무 나근묘의 식재는 성적이 매우 불량함을 나타낸다고 판단된다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 물푸레나무림 갱신에서는 맹아, 천연하종, 직파조림 등의 다른 갱신법들도 적극 검토할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.
