No. of visitor at Chirisan National Park increased by three times, respectively after seven years comparing to the visitors before construction of the Songsamjae access road in 1988. Fifty percent of visitors at southern and northern rigion of Chirisan National Park visited Nogodan in spring and autumn season. And thirty percent of visitors at Sesokpyongjon accessed from Nogodan, respectively. Visitors at Nogodan and Sesokpyongion were estimated each 410.000 persons and 150.000 persons in 1994. Maximum daily users of shelter and camp ground were each 570 persons in Nogodan and 1, 100 persons in Sesokpyongjon in 1994. The Songsamjae access road in Chirisan National Park increased users' impacts on mountain ridge environment including Nogodan, Sesokpyongjon. etc. Therefore user management including prohibiting camping shall be necessary in order to minimize environmental damage of mountain ridge.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of trails on breeding bird community by territory mapping method from April to August 1999 in Chirisan National Park. Twenty-five bird species were observed and 18 bird species bred in 4 study sites. Thirteen species bred in Imgullyung site 14 species in Imgullyung trail site 14 species in the Nogodan site and 15 species in the Nogodan trail site. There were bred 62.0 pairs of birds in the Imgullyung site 55.0 pairs in the Imgullyung trail site 36.5 pairs in the Nogodan site and 36.5 pairs in the Nogodan trail site in the breeding season 1999. There were no differences in breeding bird communities among 4 sites. The nesting and foraging guild structures were similar among 4 sites. It seems that trails do not influences on the breeding bird community becasuse the canopy layer was similair and connected and understory vegetation was developed around the trails. It would be needed the maintenance and management of canopy layer and understory vegetation for the protection and management of bird communities around the trails.

To investigate the vegetation structure of mountain ridge from Nogodan to Goribong, 22 plots(500$m^2$) set up with random sampling method were surveyed Three groups Quercus mongolica-Fraxinus rhynchophylla community. Quercus mongolica- Pinus densinora community. Quercus mongolica community were classified by cluster analysis. Quercus mongolica was found as it major woody plant species in the ridge area from Nogodan to Goribong. And partly in lower elevation was occupied by deciduous broadleaved tree species and Pinus densiflora. In this area, Korean endemic species, Abies koreana was distributed small amounts. Species diversity(H') of investigated group were ranged 0.9274~1.2845 and it was similar to those of the ridgee area of the national parks in Baekdudaegan.

Conquering top and climbing was a major visiting purpose of Nogodan in the Chrisan National Park. The visitors prefered climbing as visiting times increased. 37 percents of the visitors did not know Mt. Chiri as a national park and 78 percents of the visitors did not understand Mt. Chiri as a observing nature area. No of visitors to Chirisan National Park and Nogodan increased each by 2.2 times (2.6 millions) and by 7 times (260 thousands), respectively after construction of the Sungsamjae access road in 1988.

The Nogodan area has maintained the subalpine meadows(m.s.l. 1,500m) in Chirisan National Park. A field experiment including fertilizing, introducing plants and mulching treatment was conducted for three years at artificially disturbed subalpine meadows in the Nogodan to find out effective revegetation measures. Factorial experiment(2*2*2) was applied to the subsoil sites with ten percent hillslope and the topsoil sites with forty percent hillslope. Regardless of site conditions, survival rates of plants were more effective in on-site conditions, showed significant increase in the number of individuals and crown coverage of vegetation, but mulching treatment did not show a significant effect.

The present investigation was estimated the effect of temperature, precipitatiion, and time on the decomposition of litters with litter bags of Pinus densiffora and Quercus mongolica at Gure where elevation in 50m, and at Nogodan where elevation in 1300m on Mt. Jiri. As the above results, decomposition model was proposed to relation of the environmental conditions. And was investigated the production and decomposition of litters from the stands of various forest communities in Kwangneung, Mt. Jiri and Mt. Halla. The results are as follows; The models for the decay of organic carbon (C) was as follows: $C=Coe^{-Kt}$ (limiting factor;time) $C=Coe^{-K'te}$ (limiting factor;tempedrature) $C=Coe^{-KnP}$ (limiting factor:precipitation) As observed in litter bag method, the decomposition rate of litter in Pinus densiflora was slower than that of Quercus mongolica. The higher elevation, the slower decomposition rate. The decomposition of litters at Gure where elevation in 50m was equally influenced by temperature and precipitation. But at Nogodan where elevation in 1300m was much inflenced by precipitation. The decay constant of litters was larger in hardwood forest than in coniferous forest. In the same species, the more elevatiion, the less decomposition constant. The time required for the decay of 50%, 95^, 99% of the accumulated litters in the forest floor were faster in hardwood forest than in coniferous forest. In the same species, the higher elevatiion, the longer time required.

The purpose of this study is to assess the recovery rate of vegetation structure after restoration works at the damaged Nogodan area in Jirisan National Park. Fourteen monitoring plots were set up at restoring work area and twelve control plots were set up at natural forest near monitoring plots. Flora, Relative Importance Percentage and Similarity Index were analyzed. Mean Similarity Index between monitering plot and control plot near helliport area showed thirty five point two percent and height of shrub layer recovered up to twenty percent, approxomately durindg twenty three years after experimental restoration works. Mean Similarity Index between monitering plot and control plot around Nogodan peak area showed seventeen point six percent but height of shrub layer recovered up to twenty percent, approxomately during ninteen years after restoration works. Mean similarity index between monitering plot and control plot on transfered millitary area showed thirty four point three percent but coverage of shrub layer showed twenty percent,approxomately during seven years after restoration works. Long term monitering shall be necessary for developing assessment criteria of ecologial restoration and ecological restoration technology.

The purpose of this study was to develop the national park visitor counting system using the ubiquitous sensor network. This system is composed of a sensor node, sink node, gateways, CDMA module, server, and clients. The results of the study were: 1) stable data transmission distance was possible within 100 meters between sensor nodes, 2) the developed counting sensor system showed a network communication stability level of 88.3 percent in 1.2m wide trails. When installed in concentrate use areas or forks of national parks, the visitor counting system will not only contribute to provide reliable visitor counting, but also to improve the quality of national park visitor service, to manage park facilities and natural resources more efficiently, to achieve an information oriented national park system.

This study was conducted to clarify the seasonal and elevational pattern of herbivore's feeding pattern in a temperate deciduous forest. We investigated the herbivore's feeding activity for three years (2011~2013) at three survey sites in Mt. Jirisan National Park (Piagol, Siamjae, Nogodan). We selected target tree species based on the dominance across the sites (Quercus, Acer, Rhododendron and Carpinus) and scored herbivore's feeding activity every one or two weeks from April to June using leaf damage index. We found that the herbivory started early at the low elevation site (Piagol, ${\approx}300m$), and the highest feeding activity occurred at the mid elevation site (Siamjae, ${\approx}900m$). At the highest elevation site (Nogodan, ${\approx}1300m$), the herbivory started late, but the total feeding activity accumulated quickly. Compared to the breeding time of Varied tit, an insectivore bird, it was overlapped with the feeding activity period of herbivores, suggesting close interaction among plants, insects and birds in this deciduous forest. We suggested a need of long-term monitoring of this tri-trophic interaction since duration of herbivore activity can be changed followed by climate change.
