The present study was conducted to quantify wood and leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release of a dominant tree species, Tectona grandis Linn. F. in a tropical dry deciduous forest of Rajasthan, Western India. The mean relative decomposition rate was maximum in the wet summer and minimum during dry summer. Rainfall and its associated variables exhibited greater control over litter decomposition than temperature. The concentrations of N and P increased in decomposing litter with increasing retrieval days. Mass loss was negatively correlated with N and P concentrations. The monthly weight loss was significantly correlated (P < 0.05) with soil moisture and rainfall in both wood and leaf litter. Tectona grandis was found to be most suitable tree species for plantation programmes in dry tropical regions as it has high litter deposition and decomposition rates and thus it has advantages in degraded soil restoration and sustainable land management.

천연활엽수림에서 자생하는 활엽수종 고유의 생장 특성을 감안하여, 18개 주요 상층 임관 구성 수종을 대상으로 임목 형질을 평가하는 한 방편으로서 임목(林木) 형질(形質) 지수(指數)(tree form index: TFI)를 추정하였다. 선정된 6개의 형질 속성을 4개의 급수로 나누고, 임목 개체의 전반적인 형질에 미치는 영향력을 고려하여 합당한 점수를 부여하였다. 18개 수종에 대하여 속성 별로 점수를 부여하고 백분률(百分率)로 환산한 후, 각 점수를 합하여 임목 형질 지수를 산출하였다. 각 쌍의 수종별 점수 차이와 $18{\times}6$ 행렬(行列)을 바탕으로 집락분석(集落分析)(cluster analysis) 을 시도하여 수종별로 어떠한 속성들이 공통적인가를 검토하였다. 연구 결과, 임목 형질이 가장 좋은 수종은 TFI 수치 80.8을 기록한 사시나무로 파악되었고, TFI 수치 46.3을 기록한 까치박달나무는 임목 형질이 가장 좋지 않은 수종으로 분석되었다. 70점 이상의 비교적 높은 지수를 획득한 상층 임관 수종들은 사시나무, 거제수나무, 들메나무, 느릅나무 등으로서, 통직하고 완만한 수간, 높은 지하고(枝下高), 좁은 수관(樹冠), 가는 가지 등의 특성을 갖는 장점을 지니고 있었다. 반면에, 60점 미만의 낮은 지수를 얻은 수종들은 팔배나무, 산벚나무, 복장나무, 가래나무, 까치박달나무 등으로서, 굽었거나 기울어진 수간, 낮은 지하고(枝下高), 넓은 수관, 굵은 가지 등의 성격을 갖는 경향이 있었다. 집락분석 결과에 의한 분류도(分類圖)에서 Euclidean 거리계수(距離係數) 임의의 값 10은 연구 대상 수종들을 4개의 뚜렷한 수종군(樹種群)으로 분류하였고, 각 수종군에 대한 임목 형질 특성을 검토하였다.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effects of the conversion of the forest management type from a natural deciduous broad-leaved forest to an artificial evergreen coniferous forest based on organic matter dynamics. We investigated the amounts and carbon contents of the forest floor and the litterfall, soil chemical characteristics and cellulose decomposition rates in the natural deciduous broad-leaved forest and adjacent artificial evergreen coniferous forest. In the artificial evergreen coniferous forest were planted Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) on the upper slope and Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) on the lower slope. The soil carbon and nitrogen contents, CEC and microbial activity had decreased due to the conversion of the forest management type from a natural deciduous broad-leaved forest to an artificial Japanese cypress forest, and were almost the same for the conversion to a Japanese cedar forest. Under the same conditions, it is considered that the soil fertility was different by planting specific tree species because the organic matter dynamics were changed by them.

In December-January of 1996-1997 and 1997-1998, information was gathered about vertical distribution of foraging sites of tits in 34 flocks in coniferous and deciduous forests. There was a significant effect of forest type on the distribution of foraging sites of each species. Habitat was classified into 5 height layers vertically: ground, bushes (usually＜1.5 m, up to 3 m), tree layer 1 (up to 1/3 of tree height), tree layer 2 (1/3-2/3 tree height). and tree layer 3 (＞2/3 tree height). There were differences among species: great tit (Parus major) foraged mostly on the ground, coal tit (P. ater) and long-tailed tit (Acrocephalus caudatus) - on the highest tree layer, marsh tit (P. palustris) was often seen on bushes, and varied tit (P. varius) - in tree layer 2. Smaller species used upper and outer parts of trees. suggesting that, like in most other similar studies. larger dominant species prevented smaller species from using inner parts of trees.

Classified into sub-tree of the growth-form, Acer pseudosieboldianum and Carpinus cordata hardly reach the uppermost canopy with limited height growth potentiality in the natural deciduous forest. However, the two species usually dominate lower stories of the forest, playing an important role in overall ecological characteristics in the forest. Based on the vegetation data of 106 $20m{\times}20m$ sample plots in Mt. Jumbong area, this study was carried out to evaluate ecological constitution by several quantitative analysis so as to understand the mechanism of the natural deciduous forest. The results indicated that individuals of A. pseudosieboldianum and C. cordata were absent or few in overstory, but emerged the most dominant species in midstory and understory, providing adequate proof of the ecological importance. The comparison of indices of succession between presented and predicted values in midstory did not make much difference, suggesting that the species composition would not change much and come close to steady state in midstory and understory. The pair combination of species association noted that A. pseudosieboldianum had significant positive association with C. cordata, Quercus mongolica, and Tilia amurensis had significant positive association with A. pseudosieboldianum, A. pictum subsp. mono and Fraxinus mandshurica but negative association with F. rhynchophylla. Being compared with other major canopy tree species in the study forest, the target species of A. pseudosieboldianum and C. cordata had strong regeneration strategies, partially characterized by large number of saplings and pole sized trees and high ratio of live crown, which indicated high shade tolerance to survive in the limited amount of light under the canopy. Even though A. pseudosieboldianum and C. cordata do not reach and occupy the canopy layer mainly due to the inherent growth form, they would have highest competitive potentiality to prosper and dominate in the midstory of the natural deciduous forest.

Since the demands not only for value-added timber but the environmental functions of forests had been increased, native tree species has been, and is rapidly being replaced by foreign tree species in many parts of the world. However, the studies on population structure and regeneration characteristics of native tree species were not conducted enough. Regeneration of Kalopanax septemlobus growing among other hardwoods in natural forests is very difficult because of its low seed viability and germination rate. The study examined the distribution of mature trees of K. septemlobus and their regeneration pattern at the 1.12 ha study plot in natural deciduous broad-leaved forest of Mt. Jeombong. The density and mean DBH of K. septemlobus was 97 trees per ha and 32 cm, respectively. The spatial distribution of K. septemlobus showed a random pattern (aggregation index is 0.935) in the 1.12 ha study plot. The age of 90 trees among 99 sample trees of K. septemlobus ranged from 90 to 110 years and represented a single cohort, thus suggesting that K. septemlobus in advance regeneration has regenerated as a result of disturbances such as canopy opening.

We used a series of Landsat images acquired from 1984 to 2001 to observe decadal changes of the research forest of Kangwon National University. Tree NDVI images of November in 1984, 1986 and 2001 were displayed in RGB color composite. This image enabled us to identify historical change of conifer types and their approximate ages. Conifers were classified into 'old conifer aged more than 25 years', 'young conifer aged 20-25 years' 'very young conifer aged less than 20 years', and recently deforested areas. The results coincide with in situ data very well. Archives of higher resolution images should be used to monitor the change of area for various tree types.

국립산림과학원에서 발간된 임상도에 따르면 파주시 광탄면에 위치한 본 연구대상지는 활엽수 Ⅳ영급으로 분류되었으나 식생조사 결과 영급판정이 어려운 활엽수 천연림으로 구성되어 정밀 임상도 작성의 필요성이 제기되었다. 이에 정밀 현존식생 조사와 식생구조 및 연륜 분석 자료를 기초로 한 정밀 임상도 작성방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 정밀 현존식생유형 분석결과 22개 유형이었으며 자연림은 신갈나무림, 굴참나무림 등 11개 유형, 인공림은 밤나무림 등 6개 유형으로 구분되었다. 영급 판정을 위해 정밀 현존식생도를 바탕으로 방형구 42개와 89개 표본목의 목편을 채취하여 수령을 측정한 결과, 저지대에 입지한 인공림, 참나무류 소경목 지역은 II영급(29.8%), 나머지 지역은 III영급(57.6%)으로 토지이용이 가능하였고 Ⅳ영급 이상(8.8%)은 경계부의 급경사 능선부에 분포하여 토지이용은 불가능하였다. 이상과 같이 소규모 개발 예정지가 활엽수 자연림으로 판정된 경우 보전과 이용 판정에 있어 정밀 현존식생 조사, 식물군집구조 및 표본목 분석을 통한 정밀 임상도를 작성하여야 할 것이다. 정밀 임상도에는 식생의 자연성, 희소성, 다양성 등을 종합적으로 판단할 수 있는 자료가 포함되어 소규모 부지의 개발적정성 판단에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
