Social and scientific changes, i.e., global warming, desertification, pollution, biodiversity, bioenergy, plant variety protection, biotechnology, timber demand, reforestation in North Korea, and etc., were reviewed for new strategy of forest tree breeding in Korea. Diversified breeding goals, globalization of breeding target species, multidisciplinary research approaches, manpower networking, establishment of new administrative and research units in KFS and KFRI were proposed. Principles suggested for new tree breeding strategy are: 1) multi-disciplinary approach in settlement of objectives, breeding methods, and etc., 2) expansion of target trees including foreign species, 3) fulfillment of both domestic and international demands for forest tree breeding, 4) establishment of breeding program well-grounded on genetic resources conservation, 5) acknowledgement of breeding products (i.e., variety, technique, gene, and etc.) as goods, and 6) provision of more research opportunities for young scientists. Lastly, ongoing tree breeding project in Indonesia and NTFP R&D Center at the College of Forest and Environmental Sciences, Kangwon National University were introduced as examples of desirable breeding projects based on target species diversification, multidisciplinary approach, and manpower networking.

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) is one of the multipurpose tree species distributed in the tropical and sub-tropical climates. It is an important fruit yielding tree that supports the livelihood and has high social and cultural values for rural communities. The vegetative, reproductive, qualitative, and quantitative traits of tamarind vary widely. Characterization of phenotypic and genetic structure is essential for the selection of suitable accessions for sustainable cultivation and conservation. This study aimedto examine the genetic relationship among the collected accessions of sweet, red, and sour tamarind by using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. Nine accessions were collected from germplasm gene banks and subjected to marker analysis. Fifteen highly polymorphic primers generated a total of 169 fragments, out of which 138 bands were polymorphic. The polymorphic information content of RAPD markers varied from 0.10 to 0.44, and the Jaccard's similarity coefficient values ranged from 0.37 to 0.70. The genetic clustering showed a sizable genetic variation in the tamarind accessions at the molecular level. The molecular and biochemical variations in the selected accessions are very important for developing varieties with high sugar, anthocyanin, and acidity traits in the ongoing tamarind improvement program.

For the purpose of breeding a high-yield superior variety of Korean raisin tree (Hovenia dulcis var. koreana Nakai), whose value as an edible and medicinal resource is increasing, tree candidates for superior individuals were selected from its 11 habitats in Korea from 1996 to 1998. A clone bank preserve was created in 1998 with 70 clones proliferated by grafting; the fruition traits (e.g., the number of fructified laterals, the average number of bunches per fructified lateral, the average number of bunches per fruiting lateral, the fruitpetiole weight per individual, and the yield per individual) of 47 clones that had bloomed and borne fruit were investigated and analyzed in 2002; five upper-ranking clones whose yield per individual exhibited a 261% improvement against the total average were picked in 2005; and three clones, including 'Poong-Sung 1', that showed a difference in their fruit petiole ripening stage, were finally selected in 2007 as high-yield new cultivars of Korean raisin tree.

본 연구는 새마을운동 기간에 개발된 조림, 육종 및 사방 기술 개발이 우리나라 국토녹화 과정에 미친 공헌을 규명하기 위해 산림분야 학술지의 문헌을 고찰하고 산림녹화 사업에 참여한 임업인을 인터뷰하였다. 우리나라 국토녹화 사업은 1970년대에 새마을운동과 함께 본격적으로 이루어졌으며, 당시 연구 개발된 조림, 육종 및 사방 기술의 현장 보급을 통해 산사태 방지와 조기 녹화를 달성할 수 있었다. 새마을운동 당시 조림, 육종 및 사방 기술 연구는 대부분 황폐된 산지의 조기 복구에 집중되었다: 조림 기술 연구는 번식 양묘와 특수조림; 육종 기술 연구는 도입 선발 교잡 및 배수체육종, 내병 내충성 육종; 사방 기술 연구는 산지 야계 해안 사방에 집중되었다. 조림, 육종 및 사방 기술 연구는 새마을운동과 연계되어 지역주민의 일자리 창출, 소득 증진에 많은 기여를 하였다. 우리나라의 조림, 육종 및 사방 연구 기술을 기반으로 한, 국토녹화 성공사례는 산림이 심하게 훼손된 북한 및 개발도상 국가들에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to reveal tree species preference and inter-specific difference of foraging behavior among four canopy-dwelling birds at forest dominated by Quercus mongolica, Acer pseudosieboldian and Carpinus cordata at 1,000 meters above sea level during breeding season of birds from 1995 to 1997 in Mt. Jumbongsan. Breeding birds were about 25 species and dominant birds were Erithacus cyane, Parus ater and Parus palustris. A relatively high number of bush-nesters can be a characteristic of breeding bird community at study area. Three gleaners (Tits, P. varius, P. palustris and P. ater) selectively preferred the trees irrespective of dominant tree species, whereas bark foragers (Nuthatch, Sitta europaea) utilized the dominant trees. The four birds showed significant inter-specific difference in use of foraging location, but the three tits did not show significant inter-specific difference in use of foraging maneuver and trees. Closely related tits may coexist with each other by inter-specific different use of foraging location determined by foliage structure and leaf arrangement.

전체 온실가스 배출량의 약 72%를 차지하는 이산화탄소($CO_2$)는 지구온난화를 야기하는 대표적인 온실가스로 분류되어 있다. IPCC의 제5차 기후변화 종합평가보고서(2014)에 의하면, 지난 100년간 지구 대기의 $CO_2$는 약 35% 증가했으며 지구의 온난화는 최근 30년간 심화되는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 지구 온난화에 따른 기후변화, 기상이변으로 산림식생대의 이동과 식물계절 변화가 유발되고 있다. 산림은 교토의정서에서 인정한 유일한 온실가스 흡수원으로서 보전 및 증진 필요성이 있으며 기후변화에 대한 수목 반응의 연구는 미래의 산림생태계 변화를 예측하는데 필수불가결한 요소이다. 따라서 장기 기후변화 연구시설을 이용한 수목의 생리 생태적 반응 연구와 실제 산지에서 이루어지는 장기 모니터링 연구를 결부하여 이용한다면 기후변화로 인한 미래 산림생태계의 변화를 예측하고 대응하는데 크게 기여할 것이다.

Zelkova serrata is an important hardwood species for the timber industry in Japan. Tree breeding programs for this species have mainly focused on growth characteristics such as stem diameter (D), tree height (TH), stem form, and branching. In order to fulfill timber industry needs, wood quality improvement should be included in the tree breeding program of this species. In the present study, growth characteristics, such as D and TH, and the stress-wave velocity (SWV), which is highly correlated with Young's modulus of wood, were measured for 20-year-old Z. serrata from eight half-sib families planted in a progeny test site with three different initial spacings. Significant differences in all the measured characteristics were found among the eight half-sib families. The variance components of the half-sib families for D, TH, and SWV were 27.2%, 47.3%, and 33.5%, respectively. These results indicate that all the measured characteristics of this species could be improved by tree breeding programs. In addition, only low correlation coefficients were obtained between the growth characteristics and SWV, indicating that extensive selection on SWV in tree breeding programs may not always lead to a reduction in yield volume.

There are many countries having a long history of exotic tree introduction from different countries and several countries including New Zealand, Brazil and Hungary have successfully introduced exotic trees. Korea's tree breeding program for introduction of exotic tree was originally started from 1924. Records reveal that hundreds of tree species were introduced from many countries and tested their germination and viability. About 415 introductions were eliminated since they had been introduced and tested. Subsequently, seven exotic trees that proved successful in trials and plantations have planted for afforestation. Simultaneously, several promising exotic trees are still under the test. In this paper, we will succinctly review and evaluate their comparative growth performance of the exotic trees in the plantation programs of the country to coping with climate change.
