  • The present study analyses the effect of land use on the vegetation of some desert ecosystems in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Three sites were selected to represent different types of land use, inside Umm Al-Banadeq forest, outside the forest and along Abu Dhabi-Al Ain Trucks Road. In total, fifty-two stands were examined; including a matrix of 14 species ${\times}$ 52 stands. Based on species cover data, stands were classified using TWINSPAN and ordinated using DCA. Four vegetation groups were generated at level three of classification. Zygophyllum mandavillei was dominant in most vegetation groups; Heliotropium bacciferum dominated vegetation groups inhabited the forest. Species richness, species turnover, relative evenness and relative concentration of dominance of forest vegetation groups were 2.8, 5.7, 0.7, and 2.0, respectively. The differences were attributed to both natural variability and forestry-induced changes, including change in land use, drainage and ploughing and shading by trees. Vegetation group inhabited Abu Dhabi-Al Ain Trucks Road, that were dominated by Haloxylon salicornicum and Zygophyllum mandavillei have high total cover (8.8 m per $m^{-1}$). Most community and vegetation attributes were significantly higher inside the forest than outside. Human interventions and environmental factors affected species diversity and abundance of these communities.

  • 산불피해지의 복원과정은 산불 후 장기간에 걸친 천이의 영향으로 조류군집에 많은 변화가 예상되므로 장기적인 조사가 필요하다. 본 연구는 대형 산불 발생 13년 후 복원 방법에 따른 번식기 조류 군집의 차이를 파악하기 위해 강원도 삼척시 검봉산 지역에서 산불 미피해지와 산불 후 자연복원지, 산림시업복원지 등 3개 지역을 대상으로 하였으며, 2013년 봄철 번식기 동안 108개 지점의 정점을 조사하였다. 조사 결과, 평균 종수와 개체수, 종다양도는 모두 자연복원지역이 피해목 벌채 및 식재와 같은 산림시업복원지역에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 미피해지역과 자연복원지역은 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 길드 분석 결과, 수관 탐색 조류(foliage searcher)와 수간 및 나무줄기 천공 조류(timber driller), 일차 수동성 조류(primary cavity nester), 이차 수동성 조류(secondary cavity nester) 모두 산불 후 산림시업복원지역이 다른 두 지역보다 서식 밀도가 낮게 나타났으며, 미피해지역과 자연복원지역은 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 산불 후 개벌 및 조림으로 대표되는 복원 방법은 번식기 조류의 밀도 및 종 다양성 회복을 저해할 수 있으므로, 가능한 인위적인 산림시업 방법을 지양하고 자연복원 방식을 채택하는 것이 효율적인 방법이라 생각된다.

  • 미국 오대호 지역에서는 최근 들어 미국사시나무의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 마국사시나무는 1800년도 후반부터 이 지방에 들어오기 시작하면서 축적이 계속 증가해 지금은 오대호 지방의 임업 관련 산업의 구조를 바꾸기에 이르렀다. 집약적인 임목 벌채와 임지로부터 목재 반출은 양분의 손실을 초래해 양분 부족으로 인한 생산력 저하를 일으킬 수 있다. 산림내 양분과 양분순환의 변화 과정을 미국 미네소타의 사질토양에서 자라는 7-10, 27-33, 41-42년생 미국사시나무림에서 조사하였다. 대기로부터 그리고 풍화에 의해 유입되는 양분은 식물체내에 효과적으로 흡수, 저장되었다. 지상부 생물량은 유령림에서 $24.4t{\cdot}ha^{-1}$였고 성숙림에서 $139.2t{\cdot}ha^{-1}$로 증가하였으며, 여기에 저장된 양분의 총량도 같은 비율로 증가 하였다. 대기로부터 유입되는 양분의 양은 Ca, N, K, Mg, P 순으로 많았다. 연간 총낙엽생산량은 성숙림으로 갈수록 많았다. 그러나 유령임에서는 낙엽내 양분 함량이 높아 낙엽으로 인해 임지에 환원되는 양분의 총량에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 낙엽 분해와 양분 방출률은 성숙림보다는 유령림에서 높았고, 따라서 가용성 양분도 유령림에서 가장 많았다. 용탈에 의한 양분 손실은 모든 조사구에서 극히 적은 것으로 나다났다. 질소무기화작용은 유령림에서 가장 높았고 지하수위가 높은 곳에서는 2-3배 더 상승하였다. 양분순환 과정은 가용 양분의 증가와 함께 유령림에서 촉진된 것을 알 수 있었다. 양분의 수지균형과 벌채에 의한 양분 손실량을 고려했을 때 짧은 벌기령에 집약적인 벌채가 계속 될 경우 칼슘이 가장 고갈되기 쉬운 양분인 것으로 나타났다.

  • Despite it has been mentioned that the successful restoration in landscape level was achieved in the Young-il soil erosion control project, quantitative evaluation of restored plant communities (Alnus firma as introduced species and Pinus thunbergii as native species) was hardly founded. Light availability, litter and woody debris cover, and forest structure and composition were determined for 500 m2 band-quadrat in three forest types. Abiotic factors of Q. serrata stands, as reference forest, and A. firma stands were similar but not for P. thunbergii stands. There were no significant difference on mean stem density (stems ha-1, H = 3.6, p = 0.162), and the mean basal area of each stand had marginal significance (m2 ha-1, H = 5.7, p = 0.058) among stands as total basal area was higher with the order of A. firma (21.4 m2 ha-1), P. thunbergii (19.8 m2 ha-1) and Q. serrata (16.2 m2 ha-1). Restoration of vegetation structure was more effective in fast-growing and N-fixing A. firma, as introduced species plantation. However, result of MRPP, NMS ordination and ISPAN for herbaceous layer, not for tree and shrub species composition, indicated that restoration of ground vegetation was likely influenced highly from local environment. Propagule availability from landscape context such as connectedness to natural vegetation and management practices in restored isolated stands are available explanations for restoration effects and gaps between restored plantations and secondary oak forest.

  • This study has been carried out to estimate carbon contents in an average 37-years-old Pinus densiflora plantations and an average 42-years-old natural Quercus acutissima stands in Gongju, Chungnam Province. Average carbon concentration in stemwood, stembark, branch, foliage, and root were 54.59% in Pinus densiflora and 53.73% in Quercus acutissima stands. Aboveground carbon contents was estimated by the equation model logWt = A + BlogD where Wt is oven-dry weight in kg and D is DBH in cm. Total carbon contents was 79.28t/ha in Pinus densiflora stands and 71.52t/ha in Quercus acutissima stands. Net primary carbon production was estimated at 9.79tC/ha/yr in Pinus densiflora stands and 5.52tC/ha/yr in Quercus acutissima stands.

  • This study was conducted to examine the community structure of ground beetles between coniferous- and deciduous-dominant forest in agricultural landscapes, in Miryang-si, Yeongdong-gun, Icheon-si, and Cheolwon-gun during April to October in 2009. A total of 19 species belonging to 15 genera of 9 subfamilies were identified from 6,253 collected ground beetles. Dominant species from 4 regions were Synuchus nitidus (3,715 individuals, 59.4% of total) and Synuchus cyloderus (1,783 individuals, 28.5%) respectively. Non-metric multidimensional scaling based on Bray-Curtis similarity showed that ground beetle assemblage was not different between forest stands, but it was significantly different among regions. Overall, forest stands of secondary forests may not show a different community structure of ground beetle assemblages in our study. However, monitoring on the ground beetle fauna as well as other arthropods of secondary forests in agricultural landscapes is still important for the management and conservation of biodiversity, because forests provides important habitats for many predatory arthropods, such as ground beetles, spiders and rove beetles.

  • We evaluated the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) status of litterfall in a natural red pine (Pinus densiflora) stand damaged by pine wilt disease in Jinju City, which was one of the areas severely affected by the disease in Korea. A significant correlation (P < 0.05) was found between tree density and basal area and the C and N status of litterfall components, but C and N status was not correlated with mean diameter at breast height in the pine wilt disease stands. Needle-litter C and N concentrations were linearly related (P < 0.05) to basal area in pine wilt disease stands. Needle-litter C concentration decreased with a decrease in damage intensity due to pine wilt disease, whereas litter N concentration increased with an increase of basal area in pine wilt disease stands. The linear regression equations developed for litterfall C and N inputs were significant (P < 0.05), with basal area accounting for 50-86% of the variation, except for cone and flower litter. The results indicated that the incidence of pine wilt disease could impact the quality and quantity of C and N in litterfall of pine stands suffering from pine wilt disease.

  • This study was conducted to determine the carbon (C) contents in different mixed stands of P. dens if/ora and deciduous oak species in Gwangneung, central Korea. Five mixed stands with different ratios of P. densiflora and deciduous oak species were chosen based on the basal area of all trees ${\geq}\;5cm$ DBH: pure P. densiflora (P100D0), 70% P. densiflora + 30% deciduous oak species (P70D30), 44% P. densiflora + 56% deciduous oak species (P50D50), 37% P. densiflora + 63% deciduous oak species (P40D60), and 10% P. densiflora + 90% deciduous oak species (P10D90). Total C contents in the overstory (aboveground and belowground) vegetation were higher in the mixed stands (P70D30, P50D50, P40D60) than in the pure stands (P100D0, P10D90). Moreover, except for P40D60, C contents of forest floor (litter and coarse woody debris) were larger in the mixed stands (P70D30, P50D50) than in the pure stands. However, total soil C contents up to 30cm depth were highest in the pure deciduous oak stand than in the pure P. densiflora stand and mixed stands. Total ecosystem C contents (Mg/ha) were 163.3 for P100D0, 152.3 for P70D30, 188.8 for P50D50, 160.2 for P40D60, and 150.4 for P10D90, respectively. These differences in total ecosystem C contents among the different mixed stands for P. densiflora and deciduous oak species within the study stands were attributed by the differences in vegetation development and forest management practices. Among the five study stands, the total ecosystem C contents were maximized in the 1:1 mixed ratio of P. densiflora and deciduous oak species (P50D50).

  • 아까시나무가 인접 임분의 종류와 계층구조 그리고 식생단위에 따른 이입 정도를 분석하였던 바 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있었다. 1) 인접 임분의 종류에 관계없이 전 방위로 아까시나무가 이입하고 있었다. 그러나 계층구조가 잘 발달된 임분에는 이입하기 어려우나 임분이 소개되었거나 아까시나무가 재해를 입었을 경우에는 인접 임분 내에 빠르게 이입할 것으로 예측되었다. 2) 아까시나무는 인접 임분의 식생단위에 관계없이 전 방위로 이입하고 있으나, 식생단위 간에 차이가 있었다. 갈참나무군락과 졸참나무군락 내에서는 아까시나무의 우점도가 +~2로서 낮게 나타났으며, 소나무군락, 리기다소나무군락, 굴참나무군락 및 상수리나무군락에서는 아까시나무의 우정도가 1~4로서 높게 나타나는 경향이 있었다. 소나무군락 내의 3개 식생단위 중에서는 산박하소군(I-A-1)에서 아까시나무의 우점도가 + ~2로서 가장 낮게 출현하였다.
