A pollen analytical study of sediment sequences collected from Yongneup moor (sampling point: $38^{\circ}$12'57.4" N, $120^{\circ}$7'30.2" E) was conducted to understand the vegetation history in the mountainous region of the central Korean peninsula. Carbon dating was carried out to measure five successive samples obtained from the bottom at a depth of 180 cm to the surface. The Yongneup moor sediment revealed four main local pollen zones; that is, four past vegetation phases as follows: Local pollen zone I: Quercus-Pinus zone; estimated age, 5,900-4,800 calibrated years (cal) before present (BP); vegetation type, cool-temperate central/montane deciduous broad-leaved forest. Local pollen zone II: Pinus-Abies-Quercus zone; estimated age, 4,800-3,400 cal BP; vegetation type, cool-temperate northern/alti-montane mixed coniferous and deciduous broad-leaved forest. Local pollen zone III: Quercus-Pinus-Abies zone; estimated age, 3,400-400 cal BP; vegetation type: cool-temperate central/montane deciduous broad-leaved forest. Local pollen zone IV: Pinus-Quercus zone; estimated age, 400-present cal BP; vegetation type, cool-temperate central/montane mixed deciduous broad-leaved and coniferous forest. It was confirmed that subalpine coniferous forests had expanded to the mountainous region of the central Korean peninsula during the period from 4,800-3,400 cal BP and thereafter deciduous forests dominated by Q. mongolica were established. Notably, secondary forests dominated by P. densiflora developed in the lower part of the mountainous region of the central Korean peninsula about 400 cal BP due to human interference.

Fog deposition onto the cool-temperate deciduous forest around Lake Mashu in northern Japan was estimated by the inferential method using the parameterizations of deposition velocity and liquid water content of fog (LWC). Two parameterizations of fog deposition velocity derived from field experiments in Europe and numerical simulations using a detailed multi-layer atmosphere-vegetation-soil model were tested. The empirical function between horizontal visibility (VIS) and LWC was applied to produce hourly LWC as an input data for the inferential method. Weekly mean LWC computed from VIS had a good correlation with LWC sampled by an active string-fog collector. By considering the enhancement of fog deposition due to the edge effect, fog deposition calculated by the inferential method using two parameterizations of deposition velocity agreed with that computed from throughfall data. The results indicated that the inferential method using the current parameterizations of deposition velocity and LWC can provide a rough estimation of water input due to fog deposition onto cool-temperature deciduous forests. Limitations of current parameterizations of deposition velocity related to wind speed, evaporation loss of rain and fog droplets intercepted by tree canopies, and leaf area index were discussed.

무안군 피서리 유적지에 노출된 후기 제4기층에서 포자$\cdot$화분 분석결과，낙엽성 활엽수　화분이 주종을 이루고 있으며 초본류와 침엽수 화분도 풍부하게 산출되었다. 대표적인 종류로는 고란초과, 낙우송과-측백과-주목과, 오리나무속, 서어나무속, 낙엽성 참나무속, 국화과 및 벼과 등이다. 탄소연대측정 결과, 그 생성 시기가 지난 최후 빙하기에 해당하는 43,000-18,000 yr BP 로 측정된 이 포자$\cdot$화분군은 오늘날 한반도 중부의 한랭한 온대 낙엽성 활엽수림의 식생과 유사하다. 전체적인 식생 조성에 근거하여 3개의 포자$\cdot$화분 분대를 설정하였다. Zone I은 고란초과, 낙우송과-측백과-주목과, 오리나무속 및 낙엽성 나무속 등으로 이루어진 한랭한 온대의 낙엽성 활엽수림을 지시하며 특징적으로 난대종이 지속적으로 산출된다. Zone II에서는 고란초과와 낙우송과-측백과-주목과 등이 뚜렷하게 감소하고 초본류가 증가하는 양상을 보이는데 이는 당시에 한랭한 온대의 낙엽성 활엽수림과 함께 부분적으로 초지가 분포했음을 의미한다. Zone III에서는 초본류의 지속적인 산출과 함께 침엽수가 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 피서리 포자·화분군의 식생 조성은당시의 기후가 한랭한 온대였다는 것을 지시하며 시간이 흐르면서 점차 한랭·건조해진 것으로 해석된다.

지리산국립공원 산림생태계의 탄소 수지에 관한 기초자료를 확보하기 위해 낙엽활엽수림에 대한 탄소저장량을 추정하였다. 지리산국립공원의 대표 낙엽활엽수림 군락을 중심으로 뱀사골 지구, 중산리 지구, 성삼재 지구로 나누어 조사구 ($30m{\times}30m$, 3지점)를 설치, 식생권과 토양권의 탄소저장량을 추정하였다. 식생권의 탄소량은 $107{\sim}119tC\;ha^{-1}$의 범위로 평균 약 $112tC\;ha^{-1}$ 정도의 양을 축적하고 있다. 또한 토양권의 탄소량은 $64{\sim}77tC\;ha^{-1}$의 범위로 평균 약 $66tC\;ha^{-1}$ 정도의 양을 축적하고 있다. 토양권과 식생권을 포함한 생태계 전체의 탄소저장량은 $167{\sim}184tC\;ha^{-1}$의 범위로 평균 약 $178tC\;ha^{-1}$ 정도의 양을 축적하고 있다. 값의 범위에서 알 수 있듯이 지구별 차이는 크게 나타나지 않았다. 다른 연구 결과와 비교하여 설악산국립공원을 비롯한 강원권 생태계를 제외하고 매우 많은 양의 탄소가 저장되어 있음을 알 수 있다.

Background: The growing wild boar population has become a social issue and its feeding characteristics could affect the physical condition and the plant species composition in the South Korean forests. We aimed to reveal the preference of the wild boar on forest type and site condition as feeding grounds in two cool-temperate forested national parks, Odaesan and Seoraksan, in order to provide information to manage the growing population. Results: The 75 plots (53.6%) out of 140 plots were used as feeding grounds by the wild boar, implying a considerably large population. Especially, the observation frequency as feeding ground was the highest in Quercus forests (73.3%), and it was significantly more preferred than deciduous forest type (44.2%) and coniferous forest type (32.4%) (${\chi}^2=17.591$, p < 0.001). Significantly more and deeper pits were found in Quercus forests. Moreover, high elevation and gentle slope ridge were relatively preferred regardless of forest distribution. Conclusions: South Korean forests are growing qualitatively and quantitatively. Particularly, Quercus forest area has increased markedly, while coniferous forest area has decreased. Since the Quercus forest provides rich food sources for the wild boar, the enlargement of this forest type is expected to increase the wild boar population. The forests located at high elevations have high species diversity, and it is expected that these forests will be greatly affected by the increase in the wild boar population as preferred feeding grounds.

덕유산에 분포하는 침광혼효림의 임상선태류군락을 식물사회학적 관점에서 연구하였다. 그 결과 고등식물군락의 조성에 대응하여 조릿대-구상나무/아기호랑꼬리이끼-여우꼬리이끼군락을 식별하였다 이 군락은 지리산에 분포하는 조릿대-구상나무/비꼬리이끼-수저잎산주목이끼군락의 동위군락으로 해석되었으나 군락 사이에 임상선태류군락의 조성은 다소 다르게 나타났다. 식물사회학적으로 조릿대-구상나무/아기호랑꼬리이끼-여우꼬리이끼군락은 쇠물푸레-구상나무군집에 속하는 하나의 분층군락으로 확인되었다 지금까지 많은 연구자가 지리산지와 덕유산에 분포하는 침엽수림을 아한대(=아고산대)의 식생으로 취급하였다. 그렇지만, 현 연구결과는 식물사회학적 입장에서 덕유산의 침광혼효림이 냉온대 낙엽수림대의 식생임을 명백히 나타내었다. 덕유산 침광혼효림의 임상선태류의 종다양성은 지리산의 침광혼효림의 것과 대개 비슷한 수준이었다. 덕유산 침광혼효림의 임상선태류 분류군은 19과, 25속, 38종으로 구성되었다.

The vegetation and landscape of Hokkaido were phytosociologically referred. The region of F a g e t e a c r e n a t a e on Hokkaido is divided into two types of deciduous broad-leaved forest: the oak (Quercus mongolica var. grosseserrata) forests mixed with conifers (mainly Abies sachalinensis) and the beech (Fagus crenata) forests of northernmost distribution in far-east Asia. The oak forests, which is dominated by Quercus mongolica var. grosseserrata in Japanse islands, seem to be developed from different climatic and edaphic conditions, especially in the amount and sharing pattern of precipitation in a year, and weak acid brown forest soil, volcanic ash soil and sandy soil. On the all-inclusive phytogeographical view-point, Hokkaido is situated at northernmost region of F a g e t e a c r e n a t a e (cool-temperate zone)neighboring with subarctic and subalpine vegetation, vegetation, but the evergreen broad-leaved forest (C a m e l l i e t e a j a p o n i c a e, warm-temperate zone) is abscent.

For the reconstruction of the past vegetational changes in Jeju Island, Korea, pollen analysis and radiocarbon dating on the sediments obtained from the Mulyeongari fen were carried out. By the results, the vegetational changes around the Mulyeongari fen from ca. 3,300 cal. yr BP to the present can be interpreted and reconstructed. The pollen record from the Mulyeongari fen was divided into two local pollen assemblage zones and three sub-pollen assemblage zones. Zone I (Quercus-Carpinus-Herbs Zone) was characterized by the predominance of Quercus(30~63%), Carpinus(9~35%) and herbs(40~424%). Zone II was characterized by three sub-pollen assemblage zones and the high occurrence ratio of the tree layer in comparison with Zone I. In Zone IIa (Quercus-Carpinus Zone), herbs(3~161%) were drastically decreased in predominance of Quercus(28~56%) and Carpinus(14~31%). In Zone IIb (Carpinus-Quercus Zone), Carpinus(36~48%) was preferentially increased but Quercus(29~39%) was slightly decreased. In Zone IIc (Quercus-Carpinus Zone), Carpinus(26~38%) was decreased inversely but Quercus(36~50%) was increased. In addition, Cyperaceae was also increased to 52%. Consequently, it is suggested that cool temperate southern/sub-montane vegetation composed of Quercus and Carpinus which was physiognomy of deciduous broad leaved forest was distributed around the Mulyeongari fen from ca. 3,300 cal. yr BP. In addition, Cyclobalanopsis(4~23%), Castanopsis(1~12%) and Myrica(under 1%) which are warm-temperate evergreen deciduous forest components were constantly appeared from this period. Accordingly, it can be inferred that the present vegetation type around the Mulyeongari fen was formed from ca. 180 cal. yr BP.
