Population dynamics of the oldest relic stand of Pinus densiflora for. erecta which remains as a status of patch in Sokwang-Ri area, Uljin-Gun, was studied to provide the basic data for conservation of the oldest pine stand in Korea. The upper slope site and ridge site including total 12 plots mainly represented Pinus densiflora for. erecta and Quercus mongolica. These two tree species showed reverse J-shaped distribution. From this information, it was concluded that intensive interspecific competition between two species could be occurring. Age distribution of P. densiflora for. erecta on the sites above middle slope area was indicated bi-modal type or tri-modal type which was known as an age structure of climax forest. Therefore, it was estimated that Pinus densiflora for. erecta population could be continuously maintained in the each patch above middle slope area. In the valley sites, hardwood species such as Q. mongolica, Q. variabilis, Styrax obassia and Acer pseudosieboldianum occupied most part of the under crown-cover area and their seedlings and saplings were developing into the closed upper layer crown because the height of upper layer crown reached about 35 meters and such a high crown height was more suitable for light utilization by plants of under layer. The growth patterns were mainly fluctuated for the entire life time of the oldest tree caused by frequent disturbance. And the initial growth curves of the mature trees and suppressed juvenile trees showed different tendencies along the sites.

Habitats loss and fragmentation are major threats to biodiversity. There are various kinds of environmental assessment have been developed for various problems to solve. Yet, there are no well-developed methods for quantifying and predicting about biodiversity. To achieve a sustainable conservation for biodiversity, the structural diversity of forest must be assessed by proper indexes. This study aim to quantitatively assess the diversity of forest structure as habitats and results of the verification by bird survey for objective presentation of evidence. As a result of literature review, some indexes were selected as potential prediction tools for biodiversity; area of patch, area of core regions, shape of patch and average age of stand. The assessment results were estimated by monitoring of birds for accuracy verification and the results were almost in agreement with each others. But, 1 and 2 level of forests were showed ambiguous results. Certainly, this study was limited in some valuation indexes on landscape scale. Further studies should be considered that different environmental factors such as land use, disturbances by human and vegetation index. Also, we expect that the additional monitoring of birds should give rise to the result which is improved assessment results.

눈잣나무는 동북아시아가 주 분포지로 남한에서는 설악산 고산지역에만 제한적으로 분포한다. 본 연구는 설악산 눈잣나무 집단의 분포형태와 특성, 유전다양성 및 공간분포에 따른 유전구조를 파악하였다. 선발된 9개 I-SSR primer에서 총 78개 I-SSR 증폭산물을 얻었으며, 30개의 단형성 증폭산물을 제외한 48개의 증폭산물을 분석에 이용하였다. 조사구(40 m ${\times}$ 70 m)에는 눈잣나무 65개체가 자생하고 있었으며, 채집한 눈잣나무의 위치자료를 바탕으로 군집지수를 계산한 결과 약하게 집중분포(Aggregation Index = 0.871)하고 있음을 확인하였다. 모든 개체에 대하여 I-SSR 유전자형을 비교한 결과, 65개체 중 유전자형이 서로 다른 40개의 genet이 식별되었다. 유전자형 비율(G/N)은 61.5%, 유전자형 다양성(D)은 0.977, 유전자형 균등도(E)는 0.909로 각각 나타났다. Shannon의 다양성지수(I = 0.567)는 적은 개체수와 제한적 분포에도 불구하고 다른 수종들에 비해 비교적 높은 유전다양성을 나타났다. 공간적 자기상관 분석을 실시한 결과 조사지역 내의 눈잣나무 집단은 12 m 이내에서 유전적으로 유사한 군락구조를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. Mantel 검정 결과 유전적 거리와 지리적 거리간에 낮은 상관관계를 나타내 눈잣나무 집단이 초기에 여러 개의 모수에서 형성된 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구결과 설악산 눈잣나무 집단의 현지외 유전자 보존을 위한 표본추출 전략은 최소 12 m 이상의 거리를 두는 것이 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

Cyathea gigantea is a tree fern distributed throughout humid tropical regions of northeast India and other parts of the country. However, wild populations of this species are largely affected by various natural and anthropogenic activities. Therefore, an attempt was made to study the population structure and regeneration status of C. gigantea in and around greater Itanagar area of Papum Pare district, Arunachal Pradesh. Altogether 45 patches, ranging from 19.63 to $260m^2$ of area, were randomly sampled to study population structure and regeneration status of the species. Population study showed highest number of youngs in the height class of 0.50-0.75 m while, immatures were recorded highest in the height class of 2.0 to 2.5 m. Majority of the matures belonged to 6-9 m height class while it was recorded maximum in the diameter class of 10-15 cm. Average density of C. gigantea was $0.07individuals\;ha^{-1}$ which varied greatly among different patches with a range of 2 to 14. Significant correlations were found between patch size and density of youngs, immatures, matures and total density. Maximum concentration of youngs was observed in patch size $60-140m^2$, while for immatures, it was highest in patch size $20-160m^2$. Similarly, highest concentration of matures was observed in patch size $20-80m^2$ and $80-180m^2$. Population structure of the total population exhibited inverted pyramid shaped distribution. Population structure consisting of youngs, immatures, matures showed that around 60% patches lack of regenerating individuals which depict very poor natural regeneration of the species. Effective conservation strategies are therefore to be formulated to save C. gigantea from the threat of extinction in near future.

변화하는 자연환경에서 식물이 생존하기 위해서는 적절한 유전다양성을 유지할 뿐 아니라 지역적응성을 갖추어야 세대를 성공적으로 이어나갈 수 있다. 만약 유전다양성이 급격히 감소하게 된다면 집단이 쇠퇴하고 소멸 위험성이 커지게 된다. 본 연구는 주변 집단으로 부터 화분이나 종자의 유입이 어려운 소규모 사시나무 집단의 유전구조를 구명하였다. 월악산 미륵리의 사시나무림은 전체 분포면적 $14,000m^2$에 성목은 350개체로 추정되며, 임분내에 설정한 $70m{\times}70m$ 조사구에 출현하는 123개체 중 61개체를 대상으로 AFLP 마커를 이용하여 유전변이를 분석하였다. 조사구내 사시나무의 수령은 평균 16년 최고 32년생이었으며, 개체의 공간적 분포는 약한 밀집 형태를 이루고 있었다. AFLP primer 6조합에서 196개 증폭산물을 확인하였으며, 이 중 151개는 다형성을 보였다. primer 조합당 평균 유전자좌수는 32.7(표준편차=7.2), 이형접합도 기대치($H_e$)는 0.154, Shannon의 다양성 지수(S.I.)는 0.254로 나타나서, 월악산 사시나무는 우리나라 사시나무 집단 평균에 비하여 매우 낮은 유전다양성을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 공간적 유전구조는 24 m 이내에서 분포하는 개체들 간에 유전적 유사성이 나타났으며, 소규모 면적과 고립된 분포지 특성으로 인하여 비교적 작은 유전군락이 형성된 것으로 생각된다.

For landscape ecological management of the isolated forestlands in Incheon city located in the western tip of South Korea, the forest vegetation of Mt. Cheolma was classified phytosciologically and mapped out its spatial distribution at a scale of 1:5,000. Characteristics of forest landscape structures were discussed in terms of the number and size of patches obtained by analyzing vegetation map. Units to manage the forest vegetation were categorized into eighteen communities, seventeen groups, and sixteen subgroups. Landscape elements were classified into five types: secondary vegetation, introduced vegetation for forestry (IVF), introduced vegetation for agriculture (IVA), and other elements. Two hundred and ninety-three forest landscape patches covers 443.3ha of which IVF accounted for 316.8ha(71.5%), the largest portion, secondary vegetation for f01.2ha(22.8%), IVA for 6.2ha(1.4%), and others for 19.1ha(4.3%). The ratio of natural forest elements of 31.9% showed that this area was mainly comprised of artificially introduced vegetation, such as Robinia pseudoacacia plantation and Pinus rigida plantation. Forest landscape patches have a mean area of 4.5ha, a density of 66.1/100ha, and a diversity index of 0.87. It was estimated that differentiation of patches recognized in community level would be related to human interference and those in subordinate level to natural processes.

Recently, reckless exploitation of land resources without much consideration for the environmental value of the land has been witnessed to accommodate the ever-increasing demands for regional development. Fragmentation due to land development is a major reason for the declining biodiversity in forest ecosystems. The purposes of this study were (1) to investigate the relationship between the factors of land development and forest fragmentation in 13 watersheds of a metropolitan area and (2) to suggest a forest management plan through the relationship. We carried out a factor analysis to determine explanatory axes of forest fragmentation, and then conducted a correlation analysis between the factor scores and the factor of land development, such as the rate of built-up areas, road density, number of built-up patches, and area of housing developments. The first explanatory axis represented stability of landscape highly related with the rate of the built-up area and road density. The second axis represented the level of fragment highly related with a number of built-up patches. Forest fragmentation patterns of the 13 watersheds were classified for the similarity in forest fragmentation. This study presents the forest management plans including distribution and level of land development and forest conservation.
