식생의 광학적 특성을 기반으로 만들어진 식생지수들은 식물의 생물생산량뿐만 아니라 생리적 활성을 나타내고 있다. 식생지수의 활용은 위성에 장착된 다중분광 광학 센서의 발달에 힘입은 바가 크지만, 관측 공간규모에 따라 식생지수의 민감도가 달라질 수 있어 여러 규모에서의 비교 관측이 요구된다. 특히 광화학반사지수(PRI, Photochemical Reflectance Index)는 광합성능과 식물 스트레스 탐지에 유용한 것으로 알려져 있지만 올바른 해석을 위한 다양한 공간규모에서의 선행연구가 드물다. 본 연구에서는 드론에 장착된 다중분광 카메라, 소형 필드 초분광계, 휴대용 잎 반사계를 이용해 마늘 작물을 대상으로 서로 다른 공간규모의 PRI를 평가하였다. 잎 규모에서 하루 중 PRI는 잎의 윗면이 향하는 방위에 따라 서로 다른 시간에 최저값을 보였으며, 이는 어떤 순간에 잎마다 다른 광이용효율(LUE, Light Use Efficiency) 상태라는 것을 의미한다. 잎 규모에서는 식생피복율에 영향을 받지 않으므로 PRI 생물계절적 변화는 생육 초기에 개체 및 군락 규모보다 값이 높게 나타났다. 개체 및 군락 규모에서 PRI는 생물량을 나타내는 NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)와는 달리 공간적 변동성이 크게 나타났다. 반면, 지상의 개체들 규모의 식생지수를 드론 영상의 관측 지점 값과 비교해 보면 NDVI에 비해 PRI가좀더 좋은 일치도를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 서로 다른 공간규모에서 관측된 PRI를 이해하고 활용하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

The study was carried out in two different forest types viz., Banj oak and Chir pine forests to assess the variation in forest species composition and soil properties along altitudinal gradients in the Garhwal Himalayas. The results of the study showed that between the forests soil moisture was higher in Banj oak forest because of closed canopy and dense forest compared to Chir pine forest. The sand particles were reported higher in Banj oak forest which might be due to the addition of organic matter favouring coarse structure of soil, helping in holding maximum water in soils. However in the Chir pine forest low amount of soil organic matter and presence of clayey soil, develops soil compactness which reduces the penetration of water resulting in high soil bulk density. The higher accumulation of litter and presence of moisture in Banj oak forest favours higher nutrient level of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compared to Chir pine forest. The soil organic carbon also reduced with increasing altitude at both gradients. While bulk density has reverse trend with soil organic carbon in both the forests at different peaks of same region. In Banj oak forest, the highest density and total basal cover was reported 1,100 tree $ha^{-1}$ and 58.86 $m^2\;ha^{-1}$ respectively. However, the highest values of density and total basal cover of Chir pine forest was 560 tree$ha^{-1}$ and 56.94 $m^2\;ha^{-1}$ respectively. The total density and basal cover of both the forests reduced with increasing altitude. The study concludes that Banj oak forest has better nutrient cycling ability, well developed foest floor and has a greater protective and productive features compared to the Chir pine forest which is without lower vegetation cover and having only pine litter accumulation which does not allow any other species to grow.

본 연구는 경기도 용인 지역 전나무(Abies holophylla Maxim.) 임분의 구조를 분석하고, 이 지역 전나무 임분의 지속가능성을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 용인시의 정수리, 대대리, 호동 지역 전나무 임분에서 매목조사를 실시하고, 관목층의 구조와 치수의 발생을 조사하였다. 산림 관리나 작업이 이루어지지 않았던 정수리와 대대리 임분에서 전나무는 중요도 40%로 임분을 우점하고 있었으며, 연속적인 연령과 직경분포를 보이고 있었다. 반면 호동 지역 임분은 간벌과 택벌 등의 산림 작업이 이루어졌던 지역으로 전나무가 흉고직경 10-45 cm 범위에 분포하나 대부분 25-30 cm 직경급에 몰려 있고, 단일수관층을 가지고 있었다. 전나무의 연령과 흉고직경의 상관 관계는 유의한 것으로 나타나긴 하였으나 높지 않았고($R^2$=0.2, P=0.03), 비슷한 연령대라도 다양한 흉고직경 값을 가졌다. 정수리 임분의 연속적인 직경 분포와 다층수관구조는 전나무가 조림 후 지속적으로 갱신이 이루어져 왔음을 보여주었다. 전나무의 치수는 ha당 2000-33000본까지 발생하였으나, 2-5 cm 직경급의 전나무는 ha당 70-150본 정도로 치수 단계에서 유령목으로 자라나는 동안의 생존율은 낮았다. 지속적인 천연갱신과 연간 약 0.6 cm의 직경생장율은 조사 지역의 환경이 전나무 서식에 비교적 적합한 지역임을 나타낸다. 또한 전나무 임분은 향후에도 지속적으로 유지될 것으로 보여 내음성 수종인 전나무를 대상으로 한 택벌림 경영의 가능성을 제시해주고 있다.

Background: Abandoned coal piles after the closure of mines have a potential negative influence on the environment, such as soil acidification and heavy metal contamination. Therefore, revegetation by efficient species is required. For this, we wanted to identify the role of Silene acaulis in the succession of coal piles as a pioneer and a nurse plant. S. acaulis is a well-studied cushion plant living in the Arctic and alpine environments in the northern hemisphere. It has a highly compact cushion-like form and hosts more plant species under its canopy by ameliorating stressful microhabitats. In this research, we surveyed vegetation cover on open plots and co-occurring species within S. acaulis cushions in coal piles with different slope aspects and a control site where no coal was found. The plant cover and the similarity of communities among sites were compared. Also, the interaction effects of S. acaulis were assessed by rarefaction curves. Results: S. acaulis was a dominant species with the highest cover (6.7%) on the coal piles and occurred with other well-known pioneer species. Plant communities on the coal piles were significantly different from the control site. We found that the pioneer species S. acaulis showed facilitation, neutral, and competition effect in the north-east facing slope, the south-east facing slope, and the flat ground, respectively. This result was consistent with the stress gradient hypothesis because the facilitation only occurred on the north-east facing slope, which was the most stressed condition, although all the interactions observed were not statistically significant. Conclusions: S. acaulis was a dominant pioneer plant in the succession of coal piles. The interaction effect of S. acaulis on other species depended on the slope and its direction on the coal piles. Overall, it plays an important role in the succession of coal piles in the High Arctic, Svalbard.

Acquiring accurate quantitative and qualitative information is necessary for the technical and scientific management of forest stands. In this study, stratification and systematic random sampling methods were used to estimation of quantitative characteristics in study area. The estimator ($((E%)^2xT)$) was used to compare the systematic random and stratified sampling methods. 100 percent inventory was carried out in an area of 400 hectares; characteristics as: tree density, crown cover (canopy), and basal area were measured. Tree density of stands was compared through systemic random and stratified sampling methods. Findings of the study reveal that stratified sampling method gives a better representation of estimates than systematic random sampling.

This studies were conducted to investigate on the shade adaptation of native Sedum kamchaticum and Disporum smilacinum. All plants were grow under the controlled light intensity conditions, which controlled by two shading materials, white and/or black shading net. The results obtained were as follow. 1. Daily changes of the shading area around of the building were various by building height, width and direction. 2. Upper canopy was composed to Pinus densiflora as dominant species in native sites of Disporum species. 3. Many branches of Disporum smilacinum were sprouted after pinching. However their growth were less elongated shorter than those of Disporum viridescens. 4. Sedum sarmentosum was poor growth under the low relative light intensity as 50%, however, the growth of this species closely was similiar as under the full sun condition.

Modeling the effects of high-rise buildings on thermo-dynamic conditions and meteorological fields over a coastal urban area was conducted using the modified meso-urban meteorological model (Urbanized MM5; uMM5) with the urban canopy parameterization (UCP) and the high-resolution inputs (urban morphology, land-use/land-cover sub-grid distribution, and high-quality digital elevation model data sets). Sensitivity simulations was performed during a typical sea-breeze episode (4~8 August 2006). Comparison between simulations with real urban morphology and changed urban morphology (i.e. high-rise buildings to low residential houses) showed that high-rise buildings could play an important role in urban heat island and land-sea breeze circulation. The major changes in urban meteorologic conditions are followings: significant increase in daytime temperature nearly by $1.0^{\circ}C$ due to sensible heat flux emitted from high density residential houses, decrease in nighttime temperature nearly by $1.0^{\circ}C$ because of the reduction in the storage heat flux emitted from high-rise buildings, and large increase in wind speed (maximum 2 m $s^{-1}$) during the daytime due to lessen drag-force or increased gradient temperature over coastal area.

In the early part of rice growth, root volume primarily limits the amount of plant-accessible nitrogen (N). Therefore, knowledge of the root development is important for modeling N uptake of rice. The timing when the volume of rhizosphere cover the whole soil is also important to carry out timely top dressing. However, information about initial root expansion and associated N uptake is limited due to intrinsic technical difficulties in assessing below-ground processes. Some studies, however, showed a close relationship between below-ground root and above-ground leaf development, suggesting a possibility that above-ground attributes could serve as surrogates for the root processes. In this study, we investigated the relationship between below-ground and above-ground development of rice. Field experiments were conducted where we cultivated Koshihikari (a leading cultivar in Japan) for four different cropping schedules in 2012. In 2016, Gimbozu (HEG4) and three flowering time mutant lines of Gimbozu (X61 (se13), HS276 (ef7), DMG9 (se13, ef7)) were examined for a single season. Experiments were performed with three replications in a completely randomized design. We monitored ammonium-N concentration ([NH4+-N]) in soil solution by repeatedly taking samples from a porous tubing (10-cm long) vertically inserted at the most distant point from surrounding rice hills. Samples were taken in triplicate (= triplicate tubes) and every three days from transplanting in each experimental unit. For above-ground attributes, leaf area index (LAI) was measured in 2012, whereas soil coverage ratio was estimated by image processing in 2016. Results showed that [NH4+-N] increased gradually after transplanting and then rapidly decreased from a certain day. This distinct drop in [NH4+-N] informed us the timing at which the rice root system reached the point of porous tubing and thus essentially covered the whole soil volume. The LAI at the dropping point was about 0.43 regardless of the cropping schedules in 2012 experiment. In 2016, the coverage ratio at the N dropping point was within the range of 0.12 to 0.19 for four genotypes having different growth durations. In addition, the coverage ratios at seven weeks after the transplanting showed a good correspondence to LAI across the four genotypes. We therefore conclude that both LAI and coverage ratio may serve as robust indicators for root development and might be useful to estimate the timing when the root system fully cover the soil volume. Results obtained here will also contribute to develop models that can predict not only above-ground canopy development but also associated below-ground processes.

본 연구는 유미목 양서류인 도롱뇽(Hynobius leechii)의 생태 및 서식환경에 대한 문헌연구와 현장조사를 통해 서식지 적합성 지수(Habitat Suitability Index, HSI)를 설정하여 서식환경의 질적 평가 기초자료로 활용하기 위한 목적으로 수행하였다. 조사지역은 중부 산림지역 내 서식지 원형에 가까운 자연 서식지와 도롱뇽 출현이 모니터링된 인공 복원지로 구분하여 서식지 유형을 다양화하였다. 도롱뇽은 미소 서식 환경적 특성으로 이동이 제한되어 기후변화에 취약하고 산림개발 등으로 서식지 감소가 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 도롱뇽 HSI 설정을 위해 문헌연구로 변수를 설정하고, 문헌조사와 현장조사에서 추출된 값으로 세부기준을 설정하였다. HSI 변수와 세부기준은 현실에서 적용 가능한 물리적 허용범주의 값을 제시하였고, 연구의 검증을 위해 양서류 전문가의 심층 설문을 실시하였다. 도롱뇽 HSI 변수는 상층부 수관율(%), 하층부 피복율(%), 수중pH, 토양pH, 토양습도(%), 낙엽두께(cm), 하상 암석피도(%), 수목잔존물 유형, 위협요인(m)의 9개 변수로 선정되었다.
