Leaf characteristics of two representative deciduous-tree species in Korean peninsula were compared to assess directional ridge effect on leaf traits of both species. Leaf mass per unit area (LMA) of Rhododendron schilippenbachii in south-facing ridge slope was significantly higher than that in north-facing ridge slope, while Quercus mongolica did not change LMA. Leaf mass of Q. mongolica was increased depending on leaf size irrespective of slope. However, leaf mass of R. schilippenbachii changed differently in responding to expansion of leaf area between both slopes resulting from retardation of leaf expansion in south-facing slope. R. schilippenbachii showed higher leaf nitrogen concentration per unit area (LNCA) in south-facing slope than that in north-facing slope, while Q. mongolica indicated no difference in LNCA between southand north-facing slopes. However, both species revealed no significant difference in leaf nitrogen concentration per unit mass (LNCM) between south- and north-facing slopes. LNCA of Q. mongolica was about two times higher than that of R. schilippenbachii. These results indicate that there is a difference in leaf characteristics including leaf thickness and nitrogen allocation between Q. mongolica and R. schilippenbachii, suggesting the difference of plasticity.

Specific leaf weight (SLW), defined as the mass of tissue per unit leaf area has been found to be an important physiological parameter as it indicates the relative thickness of leaves. Greater SLW provides more photosynthetic potential per unit area of leaf and hence it is frequently been considered as correlated with photosynthesis in several plant species. Collections of 165 mulberry (Morus sp.) germplasm accessions, both Indian and exotic in origin were evaluated for their variability with respect to SLW. The mean specific leaf weight ranged from 35.3 to $72.3 g/m^{-2}$. The distribution of SLW was found to be normal. High heritability (97.08%) and a small difference between genotypic and phenotypic variance demonstrates the genetic control over SLW. Significant heterotic effect with respect to SLW was observed in crosses when parents with high and low SLW were chosen.

Dry matter allocation characteristics of Calystegia soldanella, grown in pots, was analysed to assess its plasticity in response to water-stressed conditions. As water was withheld leaf water potential between the two watering treatments was similar during the first 6 days, followed by a rapid decrease in water-stressed plants. The minimum leaf water potential was -1.50 MPa on day 15 and the maximum leaf water potential was about -0.5 MPa on day 0 in water-stressed plants. In well-watered plants leaf water potential was maintained almost consistently throughout the experiment. There was no significant difference in plant dry weight between the two watering treatments for 9 days after the start of experiment and that was remarkably increased thereafter, compared with that remained without any increase in water-stressed plants. In dry mass partitioning, however, the water-stressed plants showed a great plasticity, showing that there were 1.81, 1.35 and 0.81 times increase in root, stem and leaf, respectively. Dry mass partitioning in well-watered plants varied from 2% to 5%. The difference of dry mass partitioning between the two watering treatments was reflected in leaf mass per unit area (LMA) and root/shoot (R/S) ratio. LMA in water-stressed plants was lower than that in well-watered plants, while R/S ratio in water-stressed plants was higher in well-watered plants. This means that the water-stressed plants reduced its leaf area and increased dry mass partitioning into root and stem during the progress of soil drying. These results indicate that Calystegia soldanella inhabiting in sand dune cope with water stress with high plasticity which can adjust its dry mass partitioning according to soil water conditions.

Decomposition of plant material is an important component in the study of forest ecosystem because of its critical role in nutrient cycling. Different tree species has different nutrient release patterns, which are related to leaf litter quantitative traits and seasonal environmental factors. The quantitative traits of leaf litter are important predictors of decomposition and decomposition rates increase with greater nutrient availability in the forest ecosystems. At the ecosystem level, litter quantitative traits are most often related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the litter, for example, leaf toughness and leaf mass per unit area, and lignin content tannin and total phenolics. Thus, the analysis of litter quantitative traits and decomposition are highly important for the understanding of nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. By studying the role of litter quantitative traits on decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems will provide a valuable insight to how quantitative traits influence ecosystem nutrient dynamics. Such knowledge will contribute to future forest management and conservation practices.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cutting types on microclimate and growth characteristics of afforested tree in Quercus acutissima stand after different types of cutting. The difference in temperature reaching $5.2^{\circ}C$ was shown in between clear cutting and selective cutting treatments. On July and August days with temperatures more than $35^{\circ}C$ often appeared in clear cutting stand. The values of VPD in July and August were higher than those in other months. Maximum VPD of 3.99 kPa was shown in clear cutting stand on May 23 as a prolonged rainless days appeared. However, VPD in selective cutting stand always stayed under 3.0 kPa throughout growing season. A higher intensity was shown in clear cutting and strip clear cutting stands, reaching to more than $1,600{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ at midday on early August, while that in selective cutting stand stayed about 1,500. In relative growth rate selective cutting stand showed a significantly higher relative growth rate in plant height than those in other cutting stands (p<0.05). The number of leaf in current-year branches significantly increased in selective cutting stand, whereas no increase was shown in clear cutting and strip clear cutting stands (p<0.05). In addition, relative elongation rate of current year branch also showed higher values in selective cutting stand compared with that in strip clear cutting stand (p<0.05). However, leaf mass per unit area (LMA) was higher in order of strip clear cutting, clear cutting, and selective cutting stands. From these results it is concluded that environmental conditions in clear cutting and strip clear cutting stands during growing season are more stressful to afforested tree species, resulting in lower relative growth in plant height, elongation of current-year branches, and leaf number per branch compared with those in selective cutting stand. Consequently, more data must be accumulated in the field to find out best cutting type in plantation considering the adaptational characteristic of each tree species varies with species and life span of tree is long.

This study was carried out to find out the effect of by-product gypsum(phosphogypsum, PG) application on enhancement of turf quality. For the first experiment, 10 ton $ha^{-1}$ PG was applied to 1m${\times}$10m (width${\times}$length) Plots with 4 replicates on a sloping area of fairway where turf(Zoysia japonica L.) was grown. Both top- and sub-soil samples were collected before and after treatment and were analyzed for pH, EC(e1ectrica1 conductivity), Ca and Mg contents. At the same time when soil samples were collected, specific color difference sensor value(SCDSV) that represented chlorophyll contents, fresh and dry weight of the turf were determined to find out the effect of PG treatment on turf growth. SCDSV of turf from PG treated plots measured at 98 and 147 days after treatment were significantly higher than those from control. Considering higher fresh and dry weight of leaf per unit area from PG treated plots than that from control, it was concluded that the elevated Ca and S level of the PG treated plots resulted in vigorous leaf growth of turf. For the second experiment 2, 5 and 10 ton $ha^{-1}$ PG were applied to 1m${\times}$10m(width${\times}$length) Plots with 3 replicates at a closer location as was used for the first experiment to find out the appropriate PG application rate. Before and after treatment soil and plant samples were collected and were analyzed by the same way as the first experiment. The pH of all the soil samples collected from PG treated plots at 38 days after treatment was lower than that from control. This trend changed as time passed. However, the pH of the soil from 10 ton $ha^{-1}$ PG treated plot was lower than that from control during the whole period of the second experiment. SCDSV, fresh and dry weight of leaf from PG treated plots at all 3 rates were higher than those from control for the second experiment. PG application to turf will be beneficial for both mass consumption of by-product gypsum and enhancement of turf quality.

넓은 잎 벌로랑이의 이용에 있어서 초기생육 부진이 가장 심각한 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 유식물 활력증진을 위한 육종의 기초자료로 이용하기 위하여 종자가 작은 MO-20과 종자가 큰 302921 두 채통을 $15^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$의 생육상에서 재배하여 유식물 활력을 비교 검토하였다. 이산화탄소 교환솔(CER)은 적외선 가스분석기를 이용하여 closed system으로 측정하였다. 암호흡솔은 Gilson 호흡계로 측정하였으며 일당 순탄소 축적솔과 유식물 생장분석도 조사하였다. 302921은 MO-20에 비해 종자크기는 약 3.5배 가량이, 최대 신장 자엽 면적은 약 2배 가량이 더 컸다. $25^{\circ}C$에서 출현후 3주까지는 302921의 초기 유식물 생장이 더 양호하였으나 3주 이후부터 시험종료시 까지는 오히려 MO-20이 302921보다 연면적당 CER이 더 높고 건물축적솔도 더 많았다. 반면 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 MO-20이 302921보다 생장이 더 억압 받았다. MO-20의 암호흡솔은 302920보다 약간 높았으나 일당 순이산화탄소 교환솔은 MO-20이 $25^{\circ}C$에서 높았고 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 낮았다. MO-20의 상대생장솔은 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 높은 순동화솔로 인하여 302921보다 높았으나 $15^{\circ}C$에서는 계통간 차이가 별로 없었다.

본 연구는 급속하게 성장하는 시설농업과 동시에 증가하는 에너지 사용량 및 탄소배출량을 저감하기 위해, 온실의 에너지 부하를 동적으로 분석하기 위한 작물에너지의 다중 회귀모델 개발을 수행하였다. 온실은 연중 안정적인 대량 생산을 위한 적절한 환경을 조성하기 위해 에너지 투입이 필요하다. 도시농업의 일종인 옥상온실 플랫폼을 통해 건물에서 버려지거나 활용되지 않는 에너지를 옥상온실에서 사용할 수 있다. 옥상온실의 효율적인 운영을 위해서는 다양한 환경 조건에 대한 동적 에너지 분석이 선행되어야 하며, 온실에 도입되는 태양 에너지의 40-75%가 작물을 위한 에너지 교환이므로 필수적으로 고려되어야 한다. 한국기계연구원 내 옥상온실에서 여름철에 청경채를 재배하며 생장단계에 따른 에너지 교환을 분석하였다. 작물을 중심으로 미기상 및 양액 환경 분석과 생장 특성 조사를 수행하였다. 정식일수에 따른 엽면적지수를 추정하였으며, 개발된 수식은 결정계수 0.99로 분석되었다. 또한 작물에너지 흐름에 지배적인 잎 표면온도로부터의 현열부하와 증발산에 의한 잠열부하로 나누어 모델을 개발하였다. 엽온과 증발산량을 각각 다중 회귀모델을 이용하여 추정하고 실측한 값을 비교해 보았을 때, 평균 결정계수 0.95, 0.71로 분석되었으며, 이 모델을 이용하여 옥상온실의 에너지 부하를 동적으로 산정하기 위한 모델에 입력값으로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
