  • The objective of this study was to develop evaluation criteria for forest education using the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) model. To this end, we designed a survey based on expert advice and content analysis of previous studies on the CIPP model and forest education. The survey was conducted on 393 forest education specialists, and Cronbach's α coefficient was set as 0.6 or higher to verify reliability and validity, and to determine reliability by factor. Eventually, 52 out of 57 evaluation items were extracted, and the evaluation indexes were selected through factor analysis as follows: four evaluation indexes for the context dimension, namely "Clarity of goal setting," "Developing conditions for education," "Meeting of requirements," and "Institutional drive"; three evaluation indexes for the input dimension, namely "Acquisition of education infrastructure," "Establishment of operational support," and "Adequacy of assigned manpower"; four evaluation indexes for the process dimension, which were "Adequacy of budget allocation," "Expertise of forest education instructors," "Diversity of programs," and "Public-private academic partnership"; and five evaluation indexes for the product dimension, namely "Effectiveness of perception change," "Influence over the society," "Continuity of improvement in evaluation," "Continuity of education," and "Verification of the effects of education."

  • This study was conducted in order to recommend forest-based wildlife protection areas in Chung-nam Province using several basic habitat conditions. The conditions used in this study were the forest patch size with the potential to keep wildlife animals safe, the distance from water sources, and the availability of food for wildlife. The fractal dimension index was also used to find the edge line dynamics, which can influence on habitat conditions for edge species. The natural conservation management indices including a forest map (indicating the level of forest age), a slope map, and an elevation map were used to find the forest patches with enough space for wildlife to live on. Water resources and their buffer areas were considered as factors to protect the space as an ecological corridor. Deciduous trees and trees mixed with deciduous trees and conifers were chosen to provide wildlife animals their food. In total, 525 forest patches were chosen and recommended for the wildlife protection area. Five of these forest patches were recommended as wildlife protection areas managed by the provincial government. The other 520 forest patches were recommended to protect local wildlife animals and be managed by each county or city. These forest patches were located around the Geum-buk and Geum-nam mountains, and the forest patches are important resources as habitats to keep wildlife in the area. An ecological network consists of these separate forest patches with the ecological integration. A fractal dimension index was used to divide forest patches into several categories in order to find how patches are shaped. The forest patches with longer edges or more irregular shapes have a much higher possibility of being inhabited by various types of edge species. Through comparison of the wildlife protection areas recommended in this study to the current wildlife protection areas, we recognized that the current wildlife protection areas need boundary adjustments in order for wildlife animals to survive by themselves with water sources and food.

  • 본 연구는 국산 백합나무의 육안 특성을 이용한 등급구분과 실대재 휨시험을 실시하여 이들의 강도 및 강성의 특성 구명을 통해 국산 백합나무의 구조용재로서의 이용가능성을 평가하였다. 활엽수의 육안등급구분규정이 국내에 존재하지 않아 몇몇 활엽수 제재목에 대한 규정을 포함하고 있는 NSLB (Northern Softwood Lumber Bureau) 규정에 따라 육안등급을 수행하였다. 수행 결과로부터 계산된 백합나무의 휨허용응력을 NDS (National Design Specification)에 제시된 설계치와의 비교를 통해 국산 백합나무가 충분한 강도성능을 가지고 있음을 확인 하였다. 또한 백합나무 제재목을 국내 등급규정에 따라 허용응력을 산정하여 이를 적용하는 데 있어 타당성을 평가하기 위해 국내 국립산림과학원 고시에 따라 육안등급을 수행하였다. 백합나무는 국립산림과학원 고시에 제시된 비중에 따른 수종군 중 소나무류에 포함되었다. 적합분포로 판단된 웨이블분포에 따른 휨허용응력은 1등급 10.0 MPa, 2등급 7.4 MPa, 3등급 4.1 MPa로 제시된 설계치보다 높은 값이 나타났다. 본 실험의 결과로부터 국내 규정에 준하여 국산 백합나무를 구조용재로 이용이 가능함을 확인하였다. 국산 백합나무의 휨탄성계수는 국내외 기준 설계치를 모두 충족시키지 못하였으나, 국산백합나무를 구조용재로 이용하기 위해 본 실험을 통해 얻어진 백합나무의 평균 휨탄성계수를 제안하되, 1등급과 2등급은 9,000 MPa, 3등급 이하는 8,000 MPa를 적용 하는 것이 타당한 것으로 보인다.

  • In this study, the succession and stand dimension attributes related to the disaster prevention function of Pinus thunbergii coastal forests were examined after damage from Diplodia tip blight. In 2015, 101 years after the Taisho eruption, field investigations were performed on the vegetation, soil thickness, and pH of surface soil of P. thunbergii coastal forests in western Sakurajima (Hakamagoshi plot) and Taisho lava flows in southeastern Sakurajima (Seto plot). The Hakamagoshi plot had more woody plant species with larger basal areas than that in the Seto plot. The mean age and height, maximal age and height of plant species, and H/D ratio were all larger in the Hakamagoshi plot than in the Seto plot. These results may be explained by the relatively smaller effect of volcanic ash and gas on forests in the Hakamagoshi plot compared to the Seto plot, resulting in a more suitable environment for many plant species. Although P. thunbergii coastal forests in Sakurajima are currently recovering from damages owing to Diplodia tip blight, there has not yet been a sufficient recovery compared to the results from a 1997 study. Furthermore, the results of assessment based on the H/D ratio and abundance of trees in P. thunbergii forests indicate that both regions are not yet effective in disaster prevention. Thus, it is necessary to establish Pinus trees, which can adjust to harsh environments like coastal areas and are resistant to volcanic ash and gas, to enhance the disaster prevention function of P. thunbergii coastal forests in volcanic regions. It may also be helpful to establish coastal forests with ectotrophic mycorrhizal fungi and organic matter coverage. Additionally, it is necessary to ensure the continuous maintenance of stand density and soil quality, and further develop efforts to prevent Diplodia tip blight and promote forest recovery.

  • Nine shrub layer communities under two relatively well conserved natural summer green forests in the central region of Korean Peninsula were studied for the pattern of stem distribution in terms of Greig-Smith's multiple split-plot experiment and for the association between the population of the two main species in terms of Kershaw's covariance analysis respectively. Four contiguous belt transects, $4{\times}64m size with 1{\times}1m$ basic unit, were set in each shrub layer communities. Significant primary clumps with $1{\times}1m or 1{\times}2m$ dimension wer observed consistently throughout the nine study sites. The primary clumps themselves were significantly distributed either regularly or at random. The association between the two principal species of each shrub layer is highly significantly either positive or negative in $1{\times}1m or 1{\times}2m$ dimension. As the plot size increases from $1{\times}1m to 8{\times}8m$ the associational trends were changed from negative to positive direction in one forests. But the change from positive to negative direction and the consistent negative association were also observed from the other forest. All of the association trends were observed only from $1{\times}1m to 4{\times}4m$ dimension. These results are suggestive that the distributional pattern of the shrub layer species under the summer green forest is simple mosaic fashioned with $1{\times}1m or 1{\times}2m$ dimension. The rest of the principal species are located in that matrix. The simple mosaic pattern of two principal species are located in that matrix. The simple mosaic pattern of two principal species seems to be controlled by change in micro-environmental pattern. Differences between the primary random group and clumped group among sites also suggest that competition exists for light or/and soil between primary clumped groups.

  • 본 연구는 낙엽송 개체목의 가공처리 과정에서 생산되는 제재목 및 제재 부산물의 양을 분석하기 위한 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하고자 수행되었다. 이 모델에서는 수간곡선 추정식을 이용하여 개체목의 전간재적을 산출하고 절동된 원목에 대한 목재 가공 시뮬레이션을 통해 판재 및 각재, 원주목의 규격에 따른 최대 생산가능량을 예측하였다. 또한 제재목 가공처리 과정에서 생산되는 톱밥 및 죽데기의 잔존재적에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 흉고직경 12 cm 이상부터 제재목의 생산이 가능한 것으로 나타났고, 제재목의 생산이 가능한 경우에는 보다 큰 규격의 판재와 각재를 생산하는 것이 상대적으로 작은 규격의 판재와 각재 혹은 원주목을 생산하는 것에 비해 더 많은 생산량을 얻을 수 있었다. 향후 이 모델은 낙엽송의 이용재적 산출을 통한 산림의 경제적 가치평가는 물론, 최근 목질계 바이오에너지 자원으로서 그 중요성이 점차 높아지고 있는 톱밥과 같은 제재 부산물의 양을 예측하는 데에도 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 본 연구는 잣나무와 낙엽송을 대상으로 흉고직경급에 따른 임목의 용도별 이용재적 및 목재수율을 산출하기 위해 수행되었다. 먼저 기존에 개발된 수간곡선, 수고 추정식을 이용하여 입목의 형상에 따른 수간 재적량을 산출하였다. 그리고 일반용재와 펄프재의 이용재적 및 조재수율, 일반용재를 판재 및 각재로 가공했을 때 제재목의 이용재적 및 조재수율을 직경급별로 산출하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 수간재적에 있어서 낙엽송의 재적이 잣나무보다 동일한 흉고직경급에 있어서 23~38% 높게 나타났다. 일반용재 생산은 2개 수종 모두 흉고 직경급 18 cm부터 가능하였다. 또한 일반용재와 펄프재용 원목의 조재수율 합계는 흉고직경이 커지는 초기에 급격하게 증가하였고 잣나무의 경우 흉고직경 26 cm에서 90%, 낙엽송의 경우 흉고직경 38 cm에서 88%로 최대로 나타났다. 한편 판재의 조재수율은 23~56%, 각재는 그 생산크기가 커질수록 조재수율이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구의 결과는 산림의 이용재적 산출 및 임목평가 그리고 제재목의 결정에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 작물모형 평가에 사용되거나 사용할 수 있는 9가지 지표를 소개하였으며 이들의 특징은 다음과 같다. efficiency of model (EF)와 index of agreement (d)은 dimension이 없고 관측수(n)에 의존적이지 않았으며, dimension에 대해서만 자유로운 것은 relative root mean square error (RRMSE), bias factor (Bf)와 accuracy factor (Af)이다. Root mean sqruar, mean error, mean absolute error들은 관측수와 dimension에 영향을 받기 때문에 판단 시 주의가 필요하다. 따라서 이들의 특징을 파악하여 목적에 맞게 모형의 성능을 파악하여야 한다.

  • In this paper, major species of tree were discriminated in compartment by using LiDAR data and optic imagery. This is an important work in forest field. A current digital stock map has created the aerial photo and collecting survey data. Unlike high resolution imagery, LiDAR data is not influenced by topographic effects since it is an active sensory system. LiDAR system can measure three dimension information of individual tree. And the main methods of this study were to extract reliable the individual tree and analysis techniques to facilitate the used LiDAR data for calculating tree crown 2D parameter. We should estimate the forest inventory for calculating parameter. 2D parameter has need of area, perimeter, diameter, height, crown shape, etc. Eventually, major species of tree were determined the tree parameters, compared a digital stock map.

  • This report explains the intervessel pit dimension of Populus tomentiglandulosa and its role in embolism repair according to proposed mechanism by Zwieniecki and Holbrook, 2000. It was found that mean contact angle ( ) of water droplets on the inner surface of vessels was $56^{\circ}$. Openings into the bordered pits were typically elliptical. The angle of the bordered pit chamber ($2{\alpha}$) was found $142.17^{\circ}$. From the capillary equation $Pmax\;=\;Gcos\;(\;+{\alpha})$, it was found that mathematically the maximum pressure 0.08MPa created by pits, can be employed to force the air within the embolized vessel into solution.
