This study was carried out to review the pattern of forest stand development for six Gangwondo Baekdudaegan Mountains which experienced different type and duration of intensive legal protection. Vegetation data from point sampling method were employed to classify community types by cluster analysis on the basis of the importance values of canopy tree species for the study areas. The names of classified communities were given by the composition of dominant tree species. The communities were also compared one another in terms of stand structure by species diversity index. The results indicated that National Parks (Seoraksan and Odaesan) had greater proportion of mixed mesophytic forest type which was supposed to progress further forest succession process so as to have more complex and diversified stand structure. On the other hand, ordinary forest areas (Seokbyeongsan and Deokhangsan) had greater proportion of the forest types which was dominatively composed of Quercus mongolica and Pinus densiflora. The forest types with large amount of these two species would tend to develop for relatively short period of time of 40-50 years after artificial disturbances. Hyangnobong of Natural Protection Area and Hambaeksan of Natural Ecosystem Conservation Area showed intermediate stand development pattern in between National Parks and ordinary forest areas. The period of intensive legal protection of the forest area was positively correlated with species diversity index (R=0.736), and noted that the forest which received intensive protection regulation for longer period tended to show more complex and diversified stand structure.

This study was conducted to examine litter inputs and litter decomposition rates following thinning, which is among the most important forest management activities that enhance the beneficial functions in Korean forests. Litter inputs and litter decomposition rates following a 2-year elapse from thinning in Pinus densiflora and following a 7-year elapse from thinning in Quercus variabilis stands were measured for 2 years from 16 sites in three regions (Sancheong-gun, Uiryeong-gun, and Jinju-si) in Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. Annual needle litter inputs in P. densiflora stands were significantly decreased following thinning, whereas annual broadleaved leaf litter inputs in Q. variabilis stands were not significantly different between thinned and unthinned treatments. The annual mean total litter inputs in both tree species were significantly lower in the thinned (P. densiflora: 3,653 kg ha^-1 year^-1; Q. variabilis: 4,963 kg ha^-1 year^-1) compared to the unthinned stands (P. densiflora: 5,138 kg ha^-1 year^-1; Q. variabilis: 5,997 kg ha^-1 year^-1) during the study period. The mass loss rates from decomposing needle litter in P. densiflora stands were significantly lower (p<0.05) in the thinned stands than in the unthinned stands for two sampling dates of the eight included in the study, whereas the decomposition rates from decomposing leaf litter in Q. variabilis stands were not affected by thinning. The results indicate that thinning effects on total litter inputs remained clear following a 2-year elapse from thinning in P. densiflora stands and following a 7-year elapse from thinning in Q. variabilis stands.

과일 나무의 생육을 평가하는 중요한 지표인 엽록소 함량을 추정하는데 비교적 많은 노동력의 투입이 요구되고 오랜 시간이 소요되는 기존의 파괴 조사 대신 비파괴적 조사 방식인 원격탐사기술을 적용하기 위한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 2년(2021, 2022) 간 무인기 기반의 초분광 영상을 이용하여 배나무 잎의 엽록소 함량을 비파괴적으로 추정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 영상 처리로 추출된 배나무 캐노피(canopy)의 단일 band 반사율은 시간 변화에 따라 불안정한 복사 효과를 최소화하기 위해 밴드비화(band rationing) 되었다. 밴드비(band ratios)를 입력 변수로 머신러닝 알고리즘인 elastic-net, k-nearest neighbors (KNN)과 support vector machine을 사용하여 추정(calibration, validation) 모델들을 개발하였다. Full band ratios 기반 추정 모델들의 성능과 비교하여 계산 비용 절감과 재현성 향상에 유리한 key band ratios를 선정하였다. 결과적으로 모든 머신러닝 모델에서 full band ratios를 이용한 calibration에 coefficient of determination (R²)≥0.67, root mean squared error (RMSE)≤1.22 ㎍/cm², relative error (RE)≤17.9%)와 validation에 R²≥0.56, RMSE≤1.41 ㎍/cm², RE≤20.7% 성능을 비교하였을 때, key band ratios 네 개가 선정되었다. 머신러닝 모델들 사이에 validation 성능에는 비교적 큰 차이가 없어 calibration 성능이 가장 높았던 KNN 모델을 기준으로 삼았으며, 그 key band ratios는 710/714, 718/722, 754/758, 758/762 nm가 선정되었다. Calibration에서 R²=0.80, RMSE=0.94 ㎍/cm², RE=13.9%와 validation에서 R²=0.57, RMSE=1.40 ㎍/cm², RE=20.5%를 나타내었다. Validation의 기준으로 한 성능 결과는 배나무 잎 엽록소 함량을 추정하기에 충분하지 않았지만, 앞으로의 연구에 기준이 될 key band ratios를 선정했다는 것에 의미가 있다. 추후 연구에서는 추정 성능을 향상하기 위해 지속적으로 추가 데이터세트를 확보하여 선정된 key band ratios의 신뢰성 검증과 함께 실제 과원에 재현 가능한 추정 모델로 고도화할 필요가 있다.

The function of urban parks as wildlife habitats is becoming increasingly important. The urban park serves as a key area for preserving urban biodiversity. The purpose of this study is to estimate the bird species diversity in 30 parks in Cheonan city and quantitatively analyze the influence of vegetation, park structure and landscape connectivity index. As the results, a total of 27 birds species and 1,509 individuals were found at the sites and the largest number of birds were found in the Cheongsa park with 17 species. The optimal regression model was selected as the explanatory variables for the logged park area (LPA), the tree cover ratio (Co_T) and the patch betweenness centrality (PB). LPA and Co_T mean the internal characteristics of the park, and PB was the external environmental variable meaning landscape connectivity. LPA was the most important factor (73.3%) as bird habitat, and the PB could be interpreted as a factor that should be considered as important (26.7%). It will be possible to consider these environmental variables in the park and green area construction and management.

The purpose of this study is for the fundamental understandings about building morphological parameters and aerodynamic roughness parameters of Seoul, Korea using the detailed urban geographic information datasets. Applied roughness parameter calculations are based on a digital map of buildings with lot area polygons. The quality of the developed roughness length ($z_0$) of Seoul was evaluated with densely installed 107 automatic weather stations. The correlation coefficient results between averaged wind speeds of AWS data and averaged $z_0$ is -0.303 in night and -0.398 in day (200 m radii circles case). Further $z_0$ enhancement should follow by considering other surface features such as high tree and orography of Seoul. However, this study would meet the needs to for local- or meso-scale meteorological modeling applications of Seoul. However, further studies would require for enhancing the $z_0$ applications of Seoul.

To analyze the cooling effect of urban green areas, we conducted micrometeorological measurements in these areas and their surroundings in Seoul, Korea. From the average hourly temperature measurements through each month for the last two years (March 2013 to February 2015), we found that the maximum temperature difference between urban and green areas was about $2.9^{\circ}C$ at 16:00 LST in summer, and the minimum was about $1.7^{\circ}C$ at 22:00 LST in winter. In summer, the temperature difference was the largest during the day, rather than at night, due mainly to shading by the tree canopy. The specific humidity difference between the two areas was about $1.5g\;kg^{-1}$ in summer, and this decreased in the winter. The specific humidity difference between urban and green areas in summer is relatively large during the day, due to the higher evapotranspiration level of biologically active plants.

본 연구에서 RTK GPS의 매핑 도구로서의 가능성을 알아보고 RTK GPS의 정확도에 영향을 주는 요인을 알아보기 위해 각각 봄과 여름에 동일대상지역에서 두 번의 현장 작업을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 겨울뿐만 아니라 나무숲이 우거진 봄에도 고층건물과 나무숲으로 둘러싸인 일부환경을 제외한 곳에서 RTK GPS로 매핑이 가능하였다. 하지만 RTK GPS의 이용성과 매핑 정확도는 높지 않았다. 따라서 위성신호수신이 용이하지 않은 도심지 등에서 RTK 매핑 시 Total Station 등의 기타 장비에 의한 현장보완측량이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
