It is necessary to obtain information about the productivity of the human-influenced forest and to understand the consumption of biomass resources in secondary forest in order to examine the resource flux by human activity in rural landscape. Thus the aims of this study were to elucidate the biomass and their use of secondary Pinus densiflora forests and to discuss sustainable utilization of secondary forests in rural landscape system. This study was carried out in Yanghwa-ri, Kongjugun, Chungcheongnam-do, central Korea. The changes of growth rate and aboveground biomass of a pine forest for 2 years were analyzed to understand forest management regimes in rural pine forests. Through allometric equations deduced from 25 sample trees, biomass was estimated. The biomass increase of pine forest was approximately 16.36 t/ha/yr in the unexploited stand and 12.24 t/ha/yr in the exploited stand. These were nearly equal to those of natural pine forests in central Korea. This result proved that human-influenced pine forest in rural landscape as well as the natural one has high potentiality to provide forest products. Making graveyard in forest-land was the important disturbance and land-use which currently occurring in rural landscape in the study area. Finally, we presented some forest management for stutainable and positive uses of secondary forests as one of the local energy resources in terms of the holistic landscape-ecological view.

본 연구는 보다 정확한 소나무림의 분포현황을 이용하여 효과적으로 소나무림을 보전관리하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 기후변화에 의한 남한지역에 서식하고 있는 소나무림의 지리적 분포 변화를 예측하고 연령대별 소나무림의 공간적 분포 특성을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 종 분포 변화를 예측하는데 유용한 MaxEnt 모델을 현재와 미래 시기의 기후변화 시나리오 자료에 적용하여 소나무림의 잠재적인 분포 변화를 예측하고, 연령대별 분포면적과 변화에 미치는 생물 기후 변수의 영향을 분석하였다. 소나무림의 잠재적 분포지역은 남한지역에서 10~30년생의 소나무림이 상대적으로 많이 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 연령대별 소나무림에게 기후적으로 적합한 지역의 면적이 클수록 감소 지역은 커지고, 새롭게 확장되는 지역은 작아지는 경향으로 나타났다. 이는 서식 적합한 지역의 대부분이 중복되는 지역으로서 유사한 기후환경에서 소나무림의 연령대별 상호작용이 상호 촉진 관계에서 경쟁적인 관계로 변하는 데 기인할 것으로 추측된다. 기온변화보다 강수량이 소나무림의 분포에 더 큰 영향을 주고, 소나무의 지리적인 분포 변화는 평균적인 기후 특성보다 건조한 시기의 강수량 및 최고 한기의 기온과 같이 기후의 극한성에 영향을 더 받는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 최고 건기의 강수량에 의한 소나무림의 분포 변화에 대한 영향은 연령대와 상관없이 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 향후 기온 상승에 따른 수분결핍이 증가하여 결국 생장과 생리반응에 영향을 주는 가뭄과 연관된 기후환경이 조성되어 소나무림의 감소를 초래할 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서 유도된 결과는 기존에 구축된 다양한 생물 자원 정보를 활용하여 기후변화에 따른 지리적인 변화를 예측하는 데 유용한 방법으로 적용될 수 있고, 자연생태계 분야에서 산림식생보전과 관련된 기후변화 적응정책 수립에 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

The study investigates herbage communities along the altitudinal gradient in northwest Himalaya and highlights the effect of trees on its understory floristic diversity and phytosociology. The study was conducted in nine forests at three elevations viz., chir pine (Pinus roxburghii), mixed and khair (Acacia catechu) forests at elevation $E_1$ (850-1150 m), chir pine, mixed and ban oak (Quercus leucotrichophora) forests at elevation $E_2$ (1151-1600 m) and ban oak, mixed and chir pine forests at elevation $E_3$ (>1600 m) in a sub-watershed located in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, India. These were compared grasslands located adjacent to forests. In all, 20 grass, 3 sedge, 2 forb and 4 legume species were recorded in study sites. Jaccard's coefficient of herbage vegetation was highest between chir pine forests and grasslands, and lowest in khair and ban oak forests. TWINSPAN dendrogram of herbage composition exhibited three subtypes with Apluda mutica, Arundinella nepalensis and Dichanthium annulatum as indicator species. Three groups of plant communities were identified on the basis of their moisture requirement. Peak density and basal area of herbage in forests and grasslands occurred by September. Density and basal area of herbage in grasslands at different elevations ranged from 649.6 to $1347.9tillers/m^2$ and 30.0 to $65.7cm^2/m^2$, respectively, while, in forests it varied from 351.2 to $1005.3tillers/m^2$ and 14.9 to $43.9cm^2/m^2$, respectively. Density and basal area of the herbage in plant communities decreased along the elevation. Under trees in forests the density of herbage decreased up to 77% and basal area up to 62% of their respective values in grasslands.

The study was carried out in two different forest types viz., Banj oak and Chir pine forests to assess the variation in forest species composition and soil properties along altitudinal gradients in the Garhwal Himalayas. The results of the study showed that between the forests soil moisture was higher in Banj oak forest because of closed canopy and dense forest compared to Chir pine forest. The sand particles were reported higher in Banj oak forest which might be due to the addition of organic matter favouring coarse structure of soil, helping in holding maximum water in soils. However in the Chir pine forest low amount of soil organic matter and presence of clayey soil, develops soil compactness which reduces the penetration of water resulting in high soil bulk density. The higher accumulation of litter and presence of moisture in Banj oak forest favours higher nutrient level of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compared to Chir pine forest. The soil organic carbon also reduced with increasing altitude at both gradients. While bulk density has reverse trend with soil organic carbon in both the forests at different peaks of same region. In Banj oak forest, the highest density and total basal cover was reported 1,100 tree $ha^{-1}$ and 58.86 $m^2\;ha^{-1}$ respectively. However, the highest values of density and total basal cover of Chir pine forest was 560 tree$ha^{-1}$ and 56.94 $m^2\;ha^{-1}$ respectively. The total density and basal cover of both the forests reduced with increasing altitude. The study concludes that Banj oak forest has better nutrient cycling ability, well developed foest floor and has a greater protective and productive features compared to the Chir pine forest which is without lower vegetation cover and having only pine litter accumulation which does not allow any other species to grow.

Based on the data representing four typical Korean pine forest types, the age structure, DBH distribution, species composition, and forking rule were systemically analyzed for old-growth Korean pine forest in Liangshui Nature Reserve, northeast China. The age structure of Korean pine trees was strongly uneven-aged with one dominated peak following normal distribution, and age of trees varied from 100 to 180 years within a stand. The DBH and height differences in same age class (20 years) varied from 28 cm~64 cm and 5 to 20 m, respectively. Many conifer and hard wood species, such as spruce, fir, costata birch, basswood, oak, and elm, were mixed with dominated trees of Korean pine. The canopy of the old-growth Korean pine forest can be divided into two layers, and differences of mean age and height between Layer I and Layer II were ranged 80~150 years and 7~13 m, respectively. The Weibull function was used to model the diameter distribution and performed well to describe size-class distribution either with a single peak in over-story canopy and inverse J-shape in under-story canopy for old-growth Korean pine stands. The forking height of Korean pine trees ranged from 16m to 24 m (mean 19.4 m) and tree age about 120 to 160 years old. The results will provide a scientific basis to protect and recover the ecosystem of natural old-growth Korean pine and also provide the model in management of Korean pine plantation.

This study was conducted to measure litterfall and nutrient (P, K, Ca, Mg) inputs under varying degrees of disturbance by pine wilt disease in pine forests in southern Korea. Litterfall was collected to evaluate nutrient responses at different intensities of disturbance (various levels of basal area) by pine wilt disease across 2 years. Phosphorus, Ca, and Mg concentrations in needle litterfall were positively correlated (p < 0.05) with decreased disturbance intensities (increased basal area) depending on the time of sampling, whereas the nutrient concentrations in other litterfall components (branches, bark, reproductive organs, and miscellaneous litterfall) were not significantly correlated (p > 0.05) with the intensity of pine wilt disease disturbance. Dry weight and nutrient inputs through litterfall components decreased linearly with increasing intensity of disturbance by pine wilt disease (p < 0.05), except for the nutrient inputs of branch (K, Ca, Mg) and reproductive organ (K, Ca) litterfall. These results indicate that decreased litterfall across different levels of disturbance may be related to the reduced soil nutrients in pine wilt disease forests.

본 연구는 경남지역 내 소나무 장령림이 안정적으로 생육하고 있는 사찰 소나무림을 대상으로 온도 및 습도의 미기상 변화 특성과 식생분포특성을 비교하여 소나무장령림의 미기후 조절정도를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구는 국내에서 소나무 장령림의 안정적 생육지로 알려진 합천 해인사, 부산 범어사, 양산 통도사 및 경주 불국사 일대 소나무림을 대상으로 하였다. 식생분포 현황 분석결과 이들 소나무림은 알려진 바와는 달리 소나무림의 면적비율이 월등히 높지는 않았는데, 통도사 주변을 제외하면 소나무림보다 낙엽활엽수림 및 혼효림의 우점비율이 훨씬 높게 나타나고 있었다. 미기상데이터 측정 결과 통도사는 다른 세 지역과는 달리 미기후 특성이 크게 차이가 있었는데, 다른 세 지역의 경우 온도 및 습도의 일교차가 상대적으로 적은 반면 통도사는 일교차가 크게 나타나는 현상을 보였다. 이는 통도사 주변 숲이 개발지를 제외하면 대부분 소나무림인 반면, 다른 세 지역은 낙엽활엽수림의 우점비율이 높은데 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 소나무림의 적극적 관리는 온도상승과 공중습도의 감소에 효과적이지 않은 만큼 현재 양산 통도사 주변 소나무림과 같이 소나무 단순림으로의 적극적인 관리는 오히려 온도와 습도 스트레스 측면에서 부정적 영향이 더욱 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 소나무림의 미기후 완화 효과 증대를 위해서는 숲 관리의 새로운 전환이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

The objectives of this study were to study 1) emergence of pine bark beetles, 2) larval density in residual timber on Idlest land by each felling season, and 3) the secondary damage rates in the tended forest. Pine forest land which had undergone tending had a higher secondary damage ratio $(59.6\%)$ by pine bark beetles than forest land that was not tended $(2.8\%)$. The number of escape holes averaged 11.3 0.31 per $250 cm^2$ on the bark of leaf trees in the tended forest. The number of escape holes was higher in the Jinju site than in the Hamyang site. The larval habitat density of pine bark beetles as compared with each felling period was higher after mid-October than in forests tended early in October. Thus, forests should be tended before early October in order to prevent secondary damage from pine bark beetles. Secondary damage in the tended forest was higher in the upper part $(75.5\%)$ of the tree crown than in the lower part $(49.2\%)$. The damage was higher in terminal shoots $(80\%)$ than in lateral shoots $(48\%)$. Therefore, secondary damage by pine bark beetles can cause deterioration of the elongation growth of the forest trees. In conclusion, if by-products of tended pine forest forests are neglected, they will be utilized as a propagation site for pine bark beetles (Blastophagus piniperda L). The propagated adults will damage the tender shoots of the leaf trees and thus seriously limittheir elongation.

소나무림 산림생태계의 자연적 임분 동태 변화 과정에 따라 참나무류 등 활엽수와의 경쟁에 밀려 분포 면적이 지속적으로 감소하고 있다. 소나무림의 자연적 쇠퇴가 가시화되면서 소나무가 우리 국민들에게 제공해왔던 다양한 가치들이 함께 소멸될 위험에 처해 있으며, 지역별 소나무 쇠퇴 진행 상황에 따라 미래 산림관리 방향을 마련하는 것이 중요한 과제로 제기되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 자연적 임분 동태 변화에 따른 소나무림 변화 특성을 이해하고, 미래 소나무림의 지역별 변화를 전망하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해, 시계열 국가산림자원조사 자료 기반 전국 소나무림 변화 정보를 이용하여 소나무림의 변화 경향을 분석하고 변화에 영향을 줄 수 있는 변수(지형, 임분, 교란, 기후)들을 평가하였다. 또한 유효변수들을 이용하여 모형을 구축하고 미래의 소나무림의 미래 변화 모습을 예측했다. 그 결과, 과거 10년 동안 전국 산림에서 소나무류의 중요치는 전반적으로 감소하였으며 소나무류가 대표수종인 표본점이 10년 후에도 대표수종이 유지된 비율은 75%, 나머지 25%는 혼효림으로 전환된 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 변화는 수분 조건이 좋으며 임분 내·외부의 교란 요인이 많은 지역에서 발생한 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 10년 후의 소나무림 변화를 전망한 결과, 전국적으로 현재 기준 소나무림 순림의 약 14.2%가 자연적인 임분 동태 변화에 따라 혼효림으로 전환될 가능성이 높을 것으로 추정되었다. 지역적으로 보면 소나무림 변화율은 제주와 경기가 42.8%, 26.9%로 가장 높았고 경북과 강원이 8.8%, 13.8%로 가장 낮았다. 경기, 충청, 전남 지역 등 한반도 서쪽 지역에 있는 소나무림의 감소 위험이 높을 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 자연적 임분동태 변화에 따른 소나무림 변화 민감도 평가 결과는 전국 소나무림의 종합적 관리 방안을 마련하는데 활용할 수 있다.

We have researched the image of different forest species by asking those who use these forests how they feel when enjoying them for their various purposes. We surveyed five different forest areas, these were a pine forest a korean pine forest a cypress forest a broad leafed forest and a mixed forest. We asked 806 people how these forests made them feel and what they thought was the image of these forests. We offered them a choice of 18 pairs of adjectives to describe how they felt. We used the SD Scale and discovered 4 different factors. A feeling of comfort and freshness and a feeling of order and space. There was also a feeling of intimacy with nature. Each forest gave out its own feeling and image. comfort and freshness was felt by those in the pine forest, the korean pine forest, the broad leafed forest and the mixed forest. A Feeling of order and space was felt in the korean pine forest. Intimacy was felt in the pine forest, broad leafed forest and the mixed forest.
