  • To verify the possibility of using resistograph to estimate the age of big old living trees, we selected three Zelkova serrata and seven Pinus densiflora in Goesan. The mean diameters at breast height of Z. serrata and P. densiflora were 102 (92-116) cm and 80 (65-110) cm, respectively. The heights measured from the ground using a resistograph ranged at 1.2-4.3 m and 0.6-1.1 m for Z. serrata and P. Densiflora, respectively. The most appropriate needle speed to determine tree-ring boundaries for measuring ring width was 1500 r/min for both tree species. Alternatively, the suitable feed speeds for Z. serrata and P. densiflora were 50 cm/min and 150 cm/min, respectively. From the measured data, the mean numbers of tree rings of Z. serrata and P. densiflora were 57 (43-68) and 104 (93-124), respectively, and the mean tree-ring widths were 4.27 mm (3.18-5.09 mm) and 2.93 mm (2.32-3.34 mm), respectively. A comparison between the time series of tree-ring widths by resistograph and that from the local master chronologies tallied for the heartwood part. Finally, this study showed that resistograph can be used to estimate tree ages when a local master chronology is available.

  • This study was conducted to evaluate defects in Zelkova serrata trees using an ultrasonic tomograph (PICUS) and suggest a management plan to maintain it as a natural and cultural resource. In previous study, health information of 16 protected trees were obtained by surveying the following categories; tree appearance, crown, bark, root exposure, water and nutrition, deterioration, pest, vitality, ground status, and pollutant. The average score of health was 16.5 in 16 trees, which means that general monitor is needed for management. In this study, the evaluation result of tree's inside defects using an ultrasonic tomograph showed that 43.8% of decay rate has been found in 16 trees. In fact, some trees look to be good even though they actually have a defects causing broken by natural disaster such as strong wind. Therefore, it is urgent to put some support to the trees and come up with a protective plan. The results of this study would be useful as basic data in developing a guideline for the efficient conservation and management of big and old trees.

  • This research is basic research about 「the afforestation project of the Shilla Dynasty's capital forest」 which is controlled by the research institute of forest and environment of Kyungbuk province. The results of the investigation about target places and selection of major species of trees is as follows. 1. In the Shilla Dynasty's times, the peach tree was the indicator of unusual changes in weather, and was also the symbol of unsurpassed beauty. Peach trees were so prevalent that people called the forest peach-hill or peach-forest. Therefore, the main tree of Shilla Dynasty's capital forest would have to be a peach tree. 2. From several records, pine and bamboo were planted or grown together. The pattern of planting trees like this case is also historic, so should be utilized positively. 3. In order to afforest the capital forest, the bamboos have to be planted on Nam-mountain in Kyung-ju, and maple trees have to be planted on Kumgang mountain. 4. There were many big trees during the Shilla Dynasty, and the name of one of the Six Main Villages was 'Big Tree Village'. Therefore, big and long-lived trees have to be planted also. 5. The willow tree has to be considered for afforesting the capital forest even though the willow trees are misunderstood to cause allergies. They are traditional landscape architecture trees. In the traditional literature, the willow tree stands for good news. 6. Japanese cornellian cherry(Cornus officinalis), which is related with old narrative literature in the era of King Kyungmun, has to be planted for the forest, and has to be considered to be an educational tree. 7. Korean Rhododendron, which is related with Madam Suro's story, has to be planted in stone gardens.8. Lotus, Korean pulsatilla, Boxwood, Bombycis Mulberry, and Japanese Apricot have been recorded just one time, but these are also important plants which have to be reflected on afforestation of capital forest project. 9. The forests of Shilla on the old records exist in 17 places. The afforestation project has to be undertaken at these places. 10. The people of Shilla deified the forest and trees, which were the places where ancestral rites had been performed. For example, Gyerim, Sinyurim, and Wanggasu were the sacred forests of the capital forest.

  • To evaluate the value of a preserved tree as rural landscape resource, the growth environment and health condition was investigated, and the image evaluation was implemented on land~ape architectural major undergraduate students for zelkova trees in Yesan-gun. The image evaluation results of zelkova trees were as followings; 1) Typical image of preserved tree examined by Semantic Differential Scale were 'Old', 'Big', and 'Good'. 2) The 'big' image of zelkova tree and the height of tree, the width of tree crown, the breast girth of tree, the root girth of tree, the external formation of tree, and the health of tree bark is mutually related. Especially, the correlation between the 'big' and the external formation and the width of tree crown is high. 3) Typical image of preserved tree examined by Likert Scale were 'Natural', 'Green', 'Peaceful', and 'Rural'. 4) The preservation necessity for preserved tree was highly related with the state of ground, and the management necessity for preserved tree was highly related with contamination level and the state of ground. The appropriate management plan for preserved tree are proposed to improve the quality of rural landscape(basis of these results).

  • This study was conducted to suggest a management plan for legally protected trees in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do by examining their distribution and growth. A literature review and field survey of these trees were conducted to derive problems and usage plans, with a number of key results. Among the legally protected trees (77 species in total) in 74 locations within Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, the growth status of 74 species (96.10%) was above average, indicating that most legally protected trees were growing without any issues. Despite the results, analysis of the function of these legally protected trees indicated that there was low diversity and utilization of these trees as only trees in 33.77% were used as resting places or pavilions while those in 66.23% were used for landscaping or other purposes. It was assumed that these legally protected trees and the areas surrounding them in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do will be used as community spaces if the environment is improved. This includes converting these areas into small parks or resting places for residents. In addition, further research should be carried out to maintain good growth conditions for these legally protected trees in general and to explore various plans that allow utilization of the surrounding natural ecosystem, human environment, and cultural elements in order to enhance the quality of the region and improve it as a living space for residents.

  • 별서의 성격이 나타나는 명승지역의 노거수목은 다른 명승지역보다 인위적 피해에 노출이 심하며, 수령이 많은 수목은 외부 환경조건에 매우 민감하게 반응하므로 그에 상응하는 관리방안이 필요하다. 본 연구는 명승지 중에서 별서의 유형이 나타나는 지역 내 노거수목의 실태를 살펴보고 관리방안을 제시하고자 하였으며, 도출된 결론을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 지상부 수목건강도와 관련하여 수관변형, 가지고사, 수피고사가 수세판단과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히, 탐방객이 많은 지역은 고사지와 고사목에 대한 신속한 조치가 요구되었으며, 이용객과 시설물의 안전대책에 대한 관리가 필요하였다. 둘째, 토양환경은 답압과 수세판단에서 높은 상관관계를 나타냈으며, 대상지역 15개소 중 답압에 노출된 수목은 64.2%로 이용객 증가에 따라 수세가 쇠약하였다. 이에 답압에 견딜 수 있는 지표층을 조성하는 방안으로 답압에 강한 초본류의 식재나 이용 동선에 보조시설의 설치도 검토해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 셋째, 대상지는 연못과 계류에 인접한 곳이 많았으며, 수변지역 수목들은 토양과습으로 인한 생육저하 현상이 진행되고 있어 관리대안이 필요한 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 여름철 집중호우로 인한 퇴수구 막힘 현상은 주변의 토양 과습을 초래하여 수목에는 치명적인 요인으로 작용하므로 장마 전 후에 호안 주변과 물 빠짐부에 대한 정비계획과 시행이 필요하다. 이 외에도 명승지역 별서정원 주요수목의 지속적인 보존을 위한 중장기적인 관리 정책을 계획하고, 대상지별 특징에 따른 수목관리 지침서화 작업을 적극적으로 제안하며, 이러한 체계적인 관리시스템 개발의 연구와 예산확보 등을 통한 유지관리를 위해 전문적인 인력 확보가 요구된다.

  • 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 미국 북부 이차 활엽수림지역의 2개 임분을 대상으로 노숙림 발달과정을 평가하였다. 한 임분(phelps)은 77년생 임목들이 대부분 차지하고 있는 동령임분이고, 다른 임분(Wildcat Creek)은 노숙림의 구조적 특정을 다소 갖고 있는 연령이 많은 임목들이 있는 이령임분이다. 각 임분은 노숙림 자연발달 과정을 평가하기 위하여 임분구조, 직경분포, 고사목의 크기분포, 임분의 숨틈(Gap)크기, 3차원 임분공간도 및 수관투영도와 같은 구조적 특정을 이용하여 실시하였다. 본 시뮬레이션에 의하면, Phelps 임분은 현재를 기준으로 74년 후에, Wildcat Creek 임분은 13년 후에 노숙림 초기단계에 각각 도달하였다. 45년 시뮬레이션 동안 두 임분의 흉고직경분포는 직경크기가 커짐에 따라 모두 넓고, 평평한 형태를 나타냈으며, 고사목 크기분포에서는 두 임분 모두 직경크기가 커짐에 따라 고사목 수가 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. Phelps의 숲틈 크기는 시뮬레이션 초기 연도보다 45년 후에 작게 나타난 반면, Wildcat Creek의 숲틈은 시뮬레이션 동안 일정한 패턴을 보였고, 큰 나무들의 고사로 인하여 큰 숲틈이 형성되었다.
