Non-point pollution is caused by many diffusive sources, unlike a point pollution derived from industrial wastewater treatment plants or sewage treatment plants. Runoff of non-point pollutants is originated from rainfall or thawing in short period of time moving over and through the a ground surface. They cause ill effect on the quality of neighboring aquatic environment. To prevent effectively the wash off from non-point pollutant, it should be immediately reduced at the source or be treated after gathering of runoff water. This study has been carried out for the best width of riparian buffer zone. So we implemented the experiment in terms of its depth, width and kind of vegetations and calculated the reduction of pollutants loading. The experimental zone encompasses the watershed of Namhan River (Kyunggido Yangpyunggun Byungsanri). The region was divided into 5 land cover sectors : grass, reed, pussy willow, mixed(grass+pussy willow) and natural zone to compare effectiveness of vegetation. Water samples from four points have been collected in different depths. And the pollutant removal efficiency by sectors with different plant species was yielded through influent with one of each sample. And we obtained the correlation between the width of riparian buffer zone and the removal efficiency of pollutants. Using correlation result, the width of riparian buffer zones which needs to improve the water quality of river could be derived.

This study was conducted to investigate the potentiality of various Korean Sedum species as ornamental plants based on morphological characteristics and to analyze the genetic relationship among the Sedum species. S. kamtschaticum and S. takesimense possessing splendour flowercluster with yellow color could be suggested for garden plant, S. routundifolium having pink flower-clusters with round leaf shape for pot flower or garden plant and S. sarmentosum, S. polystichoides and S. oryzifolium with creeping stem and low plant height for ground cover plant or floral carpet. Eighteen oligonucleotide random primers were used to amplify genomic DNA of Sedum species using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Ninety five polymorphic bands among 125 different DNA fragments in the range of 224 to 3,675 base pairs were obtained from RAPD analysis. Similarity matrix of RAPD profiles was generated by coefficient value of variation, and the data were subjected to be cluster analysis. Fifteen lines of Sedum species analyzed were classified into 3 groups with the similarity coefficient value of 0.418, and 12 groups with the value of 0.328. RAPD results showed similar trends as the morphological characteristics of the plants.

It was aimed to promote Cyrtomium falcatum as a material for interior landscape by validating it indoor adaptability in the indoor environment, especially irrigation times, soil treatment and drainage level. Irrigation times were 2 times per week and 7 times per week. Soil treatment and drainage level were carried out drainage-peatmoss : vermiculite : perlite=1 : 1 : 1(D-PVP), peatmoss : vermiculite : perlite=1 : 1 : 1(PVP), drainage-saprolite : leaf mold=1 : 1(D-SL) and saprolite : leaf mold=1 : 1(SL). 1. Top of growth was better with irrigation 7 times per week than irrigation 2 times per week but indoor adaptability was decreased and shown yellowish green. 2. In case of soil treatment, growth was better with saprolite : leaf mold=1 : 1 but indoor growth adaptability was decreased than peatmoss : vermiculite : perlite=1 : 1 : 1. 3. Plant height and blade length were increased under non-drainage treatment but indoor adaptability, number of new fronds and number of sporophyll were decreased under drainage treatment, regardless of irrigation times and soil treatment. 4. Photosynthetic rate(Pn) was the highest in the drainage-peatmoss : vermiculite : perlite=1 : 1 : 1 treatment of irrigation 2 times per week and was the lowest in the saprolite : leaf mold=1 : 1 treatment of irrigation 7 times per week.

This study was carried out to analyze the problems on several steps of the establishment of the Nature Ecological Forest in Yeouido Park, Seoul, and also to suggest improved approaches on each step. For execution drawing, planting models and plans seemed to be uncertain, and the quantity and size of planting trees seemed to be impractical. For construction, the woody plants planted on the site were different in species and size from the planting plan. Ecological planting was somewhat limited because of the inappropriate soil properties. For management, replacement of the dead trees was not executed properly, and no management scheme was prepared after the replacement period. We suggested improved approaches for the establishment of ecological forests in urban areas as follows: for execution drawing, overstory, understory and herbaceous ground cover layers should be composed based on standard plant community structures. Trees that are available from tree markets should be specified in the planting plan. For construction, trees for planting need to be tagged to identify species and size. When tree species and size are changed, they should be checked to ensure that they are proper to the plant community model. Soil information should be collected to check that they fit the target plant community model. For management, the proper amount of trees needs to be specified in the planting plan by applying regular discount rates, especially for trees supplied from the government sector. The replacement period should be extended from two years to five years. The change of plant communities should be monitored during first five years after establishment.

털부처꽃(Lythrum salicaria L.)은 예로부터 발효해서 술로 마시고, 잎은 채소로 식용하며, 식중독 치료 및 설사를 멈추게 하는 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 한국, 중국, 아프리카, 유럽, 북아메리카 등의 습한 지역에 분포하며, 7~8월에 취산꽃차례로 붉은 자주색의 꽃이 핀다. 본 연구는 털부처꽃을 지피용 소재로 개발하기 위한 최적의 재배기술을 확립하기 위해 수행되었다. 재배방법의 확립을 위하여 2019년 4월 27일에 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 7월 4일에 정식하여 9월 24일까지 12주 동안 재배하였다. 공통 조건은 3치 비닐 포트에 원예상토를 충진하고, 200구 트레이에 셀당 1립씩 파종하여 생산된 1셀 묘를 정식하였으며, 추비, 차광, 적심 등은 처리하지 않았다. 추비 실험은 hyponex 하이그레이드(N-P-K, 7-10-6)를 0, 500, 1000, 2000mg·L^-1를 4주간 간격으로 총 3회 엽면시비 하였다. 차광 정도 실험은 0, 35, 55, 75% 차광막을 이용하였으며, 적심은 무적심과 4주차에 1회 적심처리 하였다. 연구의 결과, 털부처꽃은 추비 농도가 증가할수록, 생육이 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 차광처리 별로는 무차광 조건에서 생육이 가장 왕성한 결과를 보였고, 광량의 부족은 전반적으로 생육을 억제하는 경향이었다. 적심 처리는 줄기 신장을 크게 억제하였으며, 측지수를 증가시키는 결과를 보였다. 엽수는 무처리와 비교하였을 때 유의적인 차이가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 털부처꽃은 적심을 하는 것이 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었으며, 적심 시기에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로 추비처리는 털부처꽃의 생육에 부정적인 영향을 주므로 처리하지 않고, 무차광 조건에서 재배하는 것이 전반적인 생육에 유리하였다. 또한 도장이 잘되는 식물임으로 적심처리하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to suggest the ecological restoration and environmentally friendly revegetation technology for the rock-exposed cut-slopes by the Natural Topsoil Restoration Methods (NTRM) with the following restoration objectives; (1) prevention or reduction of wind and water erosion, (2) provision of food and cover for variety of animal species, (3) improvement of the visual or aesthetic quality of the disturbed slopes. On Nov. in 1995, the 5cm thick layer of artificial soil and 2cm thick layer of straw-mulching was attached at rock-exposed cut-slopes by NTRM without using anchor wire and anchor pin. The main results during four years surveying on the ground-coverage effect, plant growth, species diversity and importance values were summarized as follows. 1. Artificial soil attached at rock exposed cut-slopes was not eroded until recovered by tree and herbaceous vegetation in spite of not using anchor wire and anchor pin. Also it shows low soil hardiness and has almost the same amount of bacteria and fungi with in surrounding natural topsoil. 2. In 'combination for the woody vegetation', Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, Albizzia julibrissin, Rhus chinensis, Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria occupied upper layer vegetation. Since three years after seeding, Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria had overwhelmed the other woody plants and cool season foreign grasses, Erigeron canadensis, Taraxacum mongolicum, Commelina communis, Arundinella hirta (Thunberg) and Oenothera erythrosepala grows at lower part of the vegetation, 3. The heights of the Rhus chinensis grows 1.8m, Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria 2.0m, so it seems that the objectives of woody vegetation with native plants could be accomplished. 4. After 4 years later after seeding in 'combination for the herbaceous vegetation', the most dominant plant was Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria, the next was in order of cool-season grasses, Taraxacum mongolicum, Erigeron canadensis, lxeris dentata (Thunberg), Oenothera erythrosepala, Arundinella hirta (Thunberg). The diversity index in 'combination for woody vegetation' was higher than that in 'combination for the herbaceous vegetation'. The tendency of the intrusion of secondary succession plants was more effective in 'combination for the herbaceous vegetation' than in 'combination for the woody vegetation'.

Hibiscus hamabo, called "Hwang-geun", growing about 3m in height is a deciduous shrub or subtree of Malvaceae. Because the number of these species is very limited in the world, the Ministry of Environment has designated H. hamabo as a preserved plant. The Korea Forest Service also protects it strictly by law since H. hamabo is an out-of-the-way plant and possibly may be exterminated soon in Korea. Investigation for distribution and ecological characteristics of the habitat for H. hamabo was carried out on Soan Island. Two wild H. hamabo were found at the forest edge (equation omitted) along the sea coast located in the southern part of Soan Island and this was the first report in the Korean academic world. These two wild H. hamabos were growing in a naturally inhibited area. The diameters at the base were 12cm and 15cm. The Tree heights were 150cm and 210cm and the number of branches of each wild H. hamabo was 4 and 7. However, the present condition of these plants was not good. Environmental conditions of the naturally inhibited area of H. hamabo were very mild because it is located at the edge of the forest and is always sunny during the daytime since the slope of the inhibited area is facing South. The ground drained very well since the soil was made of gravels and sand. Because the percent of vegetation of the subtree layer where H. hamabo was growing was 40%, the cover degree and sociability of flex crenata trees and Eurya japonica were found to be high. In the naturally inhibited area of H. hamabo, a dominant value of Rubus parvifolius in the lower part of the herb layer was very high and many plants in Compositae, such as Artemisia princeps var. orientalis and Erigeron annuus, were also present. A dominant value of liana, such as Vitis thunbergii var. sinuata, Rosa multiflora, Clematis terniflora and Hedera rhombea, and Gramineae plants that rhizomes were well developed and aggressively propagated, such as Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens, Phragmites communis, Spodiopogon cotulifer and Oplismenus undulatifolius which were surveyed as high, too. These results imply that H. hamabo might be exterminated soon through a natural selection if the proper management of the naturally inhibited area of H. hamabo is not conducted continually.
