Vertical and horizontal distribution and seasonal changes of fine roots as well as inorganic nitrogen content in soil were determined in Quercus mongolica and Quercus acutissima stands in Mt. Taemosan, Seoul. The vertical distribution of fine rooth phytomass showed a power-functional decrease as descending soil depth. Fine root phytomass was 170 g $DM/m^2$(46%) and 225 g $DM/m^2$(47%) in top soil of 5 cm depth, and 370 g $DM/m^2$ and 480 g $DM/m^2$ from soil surface to 50 cm depth in Q. mongolica and Q. acutissima stands, respectively. Fine roots in relation to the distance from the nearest tree were evenly distributed horizontally in both stands. Fine roots phytomass in top soil of 5 cm depth reached a peak in June, and thereafter decreased gradually in both stands. Patterns of seasonal changes in fine root phytomass were closely related to inorganic nitrogen and moisture content.

수도권과 그 주변의 33장소의 리기다소나무 숲에서 연륜생장과 잔뿌리의 수직분포를 조사하였다. 생리적 연령이 16년과 20년 사이의 연륜의 생장은 전원지보다 도심지에서 불량하였다. 그리고 최근 5년간 (1985~1989)의 연륜생장은 연령 11년~20년, 연령 21년~30년 및 연령 31년~40년 그룹 모두에서 도심지에서 거리가 멀어짐에 따라 양호하였다. 리기다소나무 잔뿌리의 양은 도심지, 주변지 및 전원지 모두에서 토양의 깊이가 깊어짐에 따라 지수함수적으로 감소하였고, 그 양은 전원지에 비해 도심지에서 매우 적었다. 그리고 전원지의 잔뿌리의 수직분포와 비교해 볼 때, 도심지에서 잔뿌리는 토양층보다 낙엽층에 많이 분포하였다. 그리고 낙엽층 속의 잔뿌리 양과는 유의한 음의 상관이 있었다. 이들 결과로부터 도심지에서 리기다소나무 생장감소는 잔뿌리 생장감소와 잔뿌리의 비정상적인 수직분포에 원인이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of thinning on fine root biomass and vertical distribution. and litterfall amount in a 50 year old Pinus koraiensis plantation in Chuncheon, Kangwon Province. Fine root (< 2 mm in diameter) biomass ($367\;g/m^2$) in the site 'OC_75', thinning once in 1975, was 68% of those in the site 'CON', no thinning after planting, and in the site 'TC_00', thinning twice in 1975 and 2000. There were no significant differences of dead roots among treatments. Diameter $0{\sim}1\;mm$ roots were vertically decreased only in the TC_00 site. The litterfall was very similar between OC_75 ($5.2\;Mg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$) and TC_00 ($4.7\;Mg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$), but the composition of litterfall was different: The proportion of leaves and branches was 80% and 13% in OC_75 and 56% and 36% in TC_00, respectively. Reduction of P. koraiensis density by thinning decreased leaf litter as well as fine roots of P. koraiensis, but increased fine roots production by neighboring understory plants offset the reduction of fine roots of P. koraiensis. We suggest that belowground as well as aboveground responses, including both over- and understory vegetation, should be considered to measure the responses of trees in thinned forest ecosystems.

수목(樹木)의 뿌리는 수목(樹木)의 생장(生長)과 토양(土壤)의 구조개선(構造改善)에 밀접한 관계가 있음에도 불구하고 지하부(地下部)에 위치하고 있으므로 연구가 미진한 상태이다. 따라서 각 수종(樹種)의 근계(根系)의 발달상태를 파악하는 것은 그 수종(樹種)의 특성 파악과 뿌리가 지표고정(地表固定)에 미치는 영향을 파악하는데 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 강원도(江原道) 소나무림(林)의 특성을 파악하기 위한 기초연구의 일부로서 일차적으로 강원대학교(江原大學校) 구내(構內) 소나무림(林)의 근계(根系) 형태(形態) 및 분포(分布)에 대하여 규명하였다. 5개의 공시목(供試木)에 대해 조사한 결과 뿌리의 형태(形態)는 수평근(水平根)이 잘 발달되어 있었다. 뿌리의 분포(分布)에 있어서 크기별로는 세근(細根)은 대부분이 점재(点在)(+)하고 있었음, 태근(太根)은 0.2cm가 대부분이었다. 깊이별로는 태근(太根), 세근(細根) 모두가 10~30cm에서 60~70% 이상 집중되었으며, 태근(太根)은 주로 0.9cm 이하였고, 세근(細根)은 대부분이 점재(点在)(+)하고 있었다.

수도권과 그 주변 지역의 33지소의 리기다소나무 숲에서 리기다소나무 잎과 잔뿌리의 주요이온의 함량을 정량하였다. 잎 속의 N, P, K 및 Mg 함량운 전년도 잎에 비해 당해연도 잎속에 높았지만, Al과 Ca은 그 반대였다. 잎 속의 N, P, K 및 Al 함랴은 지역간의 차이가 없었지만, Ca과 Mg 함량은 전원지에 비해 도심지에서 낮았다. 그러나 잎속의 N/Ca와 N/Mg의 비의 값은 전원지에보다 도심지에서 컸다. 표토 잔뿌리 속의 Mg 함량은 도심으로부터 거리가 멀어짐에 따라 증가하였으나, 심층토 잔뿌리 속의 Al 함량은 그 반대였다. 토양층 잔뿌리 속의Al 함량은 도심지보다 전원지에서 낮았다. 토양층 잔뿌리속의 Al 함량은 낙엽층의 잔뿌리에 비하여 2~3배 높았다. 그리고 표토보다 심층토에 존재하는 잔뿌리 속에 Al 함량이 높았다. 그러므로 수도권 지역에서 리기다소나무의 생장감소는 조직 속의 Ca과 Mg 부족, N/Ca과 N/Mg 비의증가 및 잔뿌리 생장에 대한 Al 독성에 있었다. 그리고 수도권 지역에서 잔뿌리의 비정상적인 분포는 산성토양에서 Al 독성에 의한 잔뿌리의 생장감소가 그 원인으로 해석된다.

This study was carried out to analyze both the root structure and the fine root phytomass of the vertical and horizontal distribution of Zelkova serrata Makino. which was transplanted in the reclaimed land from the sea in Gwangyang, Jeonnam, South Korea. The base ground was reclaimed land from the sea. $Z_1$ of the planting ground was filled to a $100{\sim}150cm$ thickness with the improved soil instead of the reclaimed soil from the sea, $Z_2$ of the planting ground was covered to a $20{\sim}30cm$ thickness with the improved soil and $Z_3$ of the planting ground was mounded to 120cm thickness with the improved soil on the reclaimed land from the sea. In addition, $Z_4,\;Z_5\;and\;Z_6$ of the planting grounds were at the large-sized mound on the reclaimed land from the sea. $Z_4$ of the planting ground was located at the lowest level, $Z_5$ planting ground was located at the slope and $Z_6$ planting ground was located at the top of the large-sized mound. The large-sized mounds contain 3 layers, the base layer was reclaimed land from the sea and the second layer was mounded to a $200{\sim}300cm$ thickness with the desalinized soil from the sea on the base layers and the finally layers were mounded to a $80{\sim}120cm$ thickness with improved soil on the second layer. The planting grounds $Z_3,\;Z_4,\;Z_5\;and\;Z_6$ developed roots such as tap roots, lateral roots and heart roots. However, in $Z_1\;and\;Z_2$ roots development were inhibited. The fine-root phytomass of the 6 planting ground types was as follows: $113.5g\;DM/m^2$ for $Z_5$, $105.5g\;DM/m^2$ for $Z_4$, $88.3g\;DM/m^2$ for $Z_3$, $81.0g\;DM/m^2$ for $Z_6$, $73.0g\;DM/m^2$ for $Z_2$, $43.3g\;DM/m^2$ for $Z_1$. The vertical distribution of the fine root phytomass decreased from the upper to the deeper soil profiles in the 6 mound types. The fine root phytomass was $43.3{\sim}71.8%$ in a $0{\sim}20cm$ thickness of soil layer and it decreased according to the distance from the nearest trees. The root growth in the improved soil was better than in the reclaimed soil from the sea. However, root growth decreased more in the disturbed soils even though the planting grounds contained the improved soils. The retarded development of roots and the spatial distribution patterns of the fine root phytomass were closely connected to the reclaimed soil from the sea. In the disturbed soil, the soil hardness and alkalic cation($Na^+,\;K^+,\;Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}$). were high and the soil water was lacking. We suggest that the construction of planting grounds and the improvement of bad soil are necessary for the proper and effective growth of landscaping plants.

The community structure, phytomass, and primary productivity in Thuja orientalis stands on a limestone area located in Maepo-up, Chungbuk province in Korea were estimated quantitatively. Seven species including a small proportion of Quercus dentata were identified in the tree layer, 26 species including Ulmus macrocarpa in the shrub layer, and 79 species including Carex lnceolata in the herb layer of the Thuja stands. The vertical distribution of the fine root phytomass exhibited a power functional decrease relative to the soil depth. The seasonal changes in the fine root phytomass at a soil depth of 5 cm were closely related to the pecipitation in the study area. The productivity of the stand of stems, branches, leaves, and roots were 10.72, 0.82, 0.45 and 6.46 ton DM. $ha^{-1}$ .$yr^{-1}$, respectively. The Thuja stand had a high foliage(25%) and low rate of production per unit of foliage. The annual turnover rate of the fine roots int he Thuja stand was 6.71 $yr^{-1}$. The net primary production of the overstory including the understory was estimated at 19.48 ton DM.$ha^{-1}$.$yr^{-1}$ including an underground section of 6.46 ton DM.$ha^{-1}$.$yr^{-1}$(33%). The allocation ratio of net production to root was lower in the limestone Thuja communities than at the nearby non-limestone ones, whereas the production efficiency to leaf weight was higher in the limestone communities. These results would seem to indicate that the limited production capacity is due to the calcium toxicity and low availability of iron and phosphorus in a limestone soil with a high pH, calcium, and bicarbonate content with a strategy for survival in a hostile habitat.

Six-year-old ginseng roots were divided into rhizome, main root (epidermis, cortex and xylem) and lateral root (big tail root, mid tail root and fine tail root) and the concentration levels of soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) in each part of the ginseng were investigated. The amount ratios of SDF to IDF (SDF/IDF) in various parts of the ginseng root were also compared. The concentration levels of SDF and IDF in the ginseng root were 6.56% and 15.41 %, respectively, where the level of SDF in main root was a little higher than that of lateral root. However the amount of IDF in main root was lower than that of lateral root. The SDF/IDF was highest in main root, 0.513, which was higher than that of lateral root or rhizome. The SDF/IDF was 0.704 in xylem, 0.478 in cortex, and 0.099 in epidermis of the main root and the SDF/IDF was 0.576 in big tail root, 0.463 in mid tail root, and 0.255 in fine tail root of the lateral root. It has been reported that SDF might have preventive effects on diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, colon and rectum cancers, while IDF might have preventive effects on constipation. Therefore, main root of six-year- old ginseng root is thought to have a little different physiological activity from lateral or fine tail roots.

Wild ginseng production is increasing due to forest recovery for last 30 years. Total number of Symmani (traditional mountain ginseng digger) was 558 in 2001. Provincial distribution of Symmani in 2001 was highest in Kangwon $(32\%),$ next in Choongbook $(21\%)$ and least in Jeonnam $(0.7\%)$ and Kyoungnam $(0.9\%).$ Age distribution of Symmani was $33\%\;for\;fourties,\;32\%$ for fifties and $20\%$ for sixties. There were 8 persons in eighties. Symmanies are still keeping traditional ritual for mountain god serving clothes of colored ribbons and foods. Increased production induced open market system from underground dealing of mountain ginseng. Korea Mountain Ginseng Association established mountain ginseng assessment committee with professional Symmanies in 2001. From September to November in 2001, 987 roots were requested for quality assessment to the committee and 476 roots $(48\%)$ were passed and graded and others were rejected. Highest frequency of rejection was foreign origin. Pass rate was highest $(74\%)$ in Choongnam suggesting best place for quality. Number of collected roots in each province was positively correlated (p=0.05) with number of Symmanies. There are 3 quality groups of mountain ginseng, Heaven (pure natural), Earth (from seeding of wild ginseng) and Man (from seeding or seedling of wild ginseng with slight environmental modification). The relationship between price and age was polynomial in high quality root, Heaven, Earth and seed long head of Man group, and linear in low quality group, seedling long head of Man. The best one in 2001 was 26 g, 124 years old and sold with 109 million won. Quality criteria are age, shape, weight, color and healthy outlook. Fine roots are criteria for health status of roots and taproot is criteria for efficacy and called as medicine barrel. The implication is that ginsenosides have rarely been experienced for efficacy. The quality criteria of cultivated ginseng were originated from those of mountain ginseng. It is unique for mountain ginseng that only fresh one can be on market. Since quality criteria of mountain ginseng must be based on the efficacy experience it is well expected that present criteria might almost be established at the age of Shinnong Materia Medica.
