  • Above and belowground biomass for Phyllostachys pubescens was determined in Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do. Regression analyses of dry weights of culms, foliages, and twigs versus diameter at breast height were used to calculate regression equations of the form of log Y = a + blogX. Total aboveground biomass for Phyllostachys pubescens was 69.7 ton/ha and rhizomes and roots biomass were 13.7 ton/ha and 7.5 ton/ha, respectively. Culms account for about 60% of total aboveground biomass. The aboveground biomass of each component was decreased in the order of culms>foliages>twigs. As diameter at breast height grew thicker, the proportion of culms to total aboveground biomass increased. The proportion of dry weight of culms to green weight gradually increased with height in a bamboo tree and ages. Nutrients (kg/ha) of litter layer were distributed as follows: N(45.1), Ca(17.3), K(6.1), Mg(3.6), P(3.5) and Na(0.7). Nitrogen and K were given much weight in total nutrients of rhizomes and roots. These results will be useful in measuring carbon stock and drawing up management plan to increase it for Phyllostachys pubescens stand.

  • Background: Angelica gigas Nakai has been used as an herbal medicine in Eastern Asia for treating disorders in women for a long time. To date there are no studies on the genetic diversity of A. gigas. The present study aimed to study the genetic diversity of A. gigas variants using genome-wide simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. Methods and Results: The genetic diversity of 199 variants of A. gigas cultivated in of different regions, was analyzed using 5 genome-wide SSR markers. The results revealed that the genetic variants were very diverse, and genetic analysis using the 5 SSR markers revealed high diversity among the variants. Conclusions: It is expected that the development of the true Angleical cultivar, by studying the system and group selection, can be achieved by genetic analysis using the developed markers, for generating a genetically fixed lineage and group selection.

  • The experiments were conducted by supplying hosts with natural food(chestnut, peach, Quince). The developmental difference of peach pyralid moth, Dichocrocis punctiferalis was examined in the laboratory under three different natural food regime. The periods of egg, larva and pupa were $6.01{\pm}0.07$, $12.23{\pm}0.03$ and $13.32{\pm}0.01$ days on the chestnut fruit, $6.21{\pm}0.01$, $18.69{\pm}0.02$ and $13.38{\pm}0.03$ days on the peach fruit and $7.02{\pm}0.04$, $22.62{\pm}0.04$ and $13.44{\pm}0.14$ days on the quince fruit, respectively. The growth of D. punctiferalis larva was better chestnut fruit than other tested fruits. The rates(%) of hatching, pupation and emergence were 94.0, 57.0 and 63.3 on the chestnut fruit, 89.2, 77.8 and 85.7 on the peach fruit and 79.6, 52.6 and 70.7 on the quince fruit, respectively. The survival rate(%) of D. punctiferalis from hatching to emergence were 31.0 on the chestnut fruit, 4.8 on the peach fruit and 14.3 on the quince fruit, respectively. The sex ratio (female: male) of all pupae obtained on the tested natural food fruits were 52.7 : 47.3. The sex ratio of D. punctiferalis reared on three difference food fruits were no significantly. It can be used a as the basic research for the study of D. punctiferalis.

  • To have better urban forests in future we are focusing on two major issues like other countries. How we could have more urban forest-quantitative approach-against the expanding of urbanization, and how we could produce better urban forest-qualitative approach-to give a chance in contact with better nature for urban people. Prime surveys on urban forests have been carried out in 6 major cities since 1991, and the city of Daegu which is located on the east southern area of Korea have been case studied for qualitative approaches during last 3 years. Major species of the remnant forests were Pinus densiflora, Pinus rigida, Pinus thunbergii and Robinia pseudoacacia. Approximately 20% of the surveyed forests were lost their structure as forests caused by illegal farming, facilities and as the bare ground by excessive visitors. Generally speaking the condition of forests for biotope was very poor in overall. From two years data of monitoring of birds, we found that wooded parkways and woodland squares had more species than street tree areas. Nests were found mainly on the branch of Zelkova serrata, Pinus densiflora and Quercus myrsinaefolia. The size of urban forests mainly determined the species richness of birds. According to the oxygen output and carbon input by photosynthesis measurement, the capability was in order of Platanus occidentalis, Zelkova serrata and Ginko biloba. Air conditioning effects of trees through transpiration measurement was found and the quality of forests also related to the reducing of urban heat-island.

  • Background: We measured the weight characteristics, intercellular space volume as a proportion of root volume, and quantities of the functional component in Angelica gigas Nakai, collected from four cultivation areas in Pyeongchang, including Tapdong-ri and SangjinBu-ri, and tested the results for correlations. Methods and Results: Dry weight was the highest in the Tapdong-ri group ($13.37{\pm}0.13g$) and the lowest in the SangjinBu-ri group ($11.90{\pm}0.57g$). The percentage of intercellular spaces within the roots, determined by micro-CT camera, was the highest in the Tapdong-ri group ($6.44{\pm}0.76%$) and the lowest in the SangjinBu-ri group ($9.01{\pm}2.15%$). The quantity of functional components were the highest in the Tapdong-ri group ($116.13{\pm}9.53mg/g$) and the lowest in the SangjinBu-ri group ($99.77{\pm}23.23mg/g$). Conclusions: The dry weight of A. gigas significantly correlated with the volume and percentage of intercellular space. An increase in the dry weight resulted in a negative correlation between the volume and ratio of the intercellular spaces. The volume of intercellular space correlated negatively with levels of the functional components, this was significant in the case of the nodakenin, decursin and decursinol angelate content (p < 0.016).

  • The purpose of this research is to suggest economic feasibility of cultivating Acer Mono by using profitability analysis to forest owners. To achieve this research objective, forest owner household survey with intensive cultivating has been conducted about a sap production on its age of tree. And input costs and sap production costs are calculated with silvicultural system from plant to regeneration cutting. Total income is the sum of its sap sales and thinning and regeneration cutting. The method of profitability analysis was used on the NPV(Net Present Value) and IRR(internal rate of return). Finally, when 3% discount rate is applied, NPV is about 59,436 thousand won and IRR value is 9.22% at this point. This result, therefore, proves that cultivating Acer Mono is economical feasibility to forest owners.

  • The RGB (red, green, and blue) imagery analysis is an important remote sensing tool, which estimates the effect of environmental stress on turfgrass growth and physiology. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of continuous wear stress treatment on Zoysia japonica through RGB imagery analysis. The results of the growth measurement showed that the plant height substantially decreased, after nine hours of treatment with no considerable difference thereafter. Dry weight measurement showed a substantial difference in the morphological growth characteristics of the aerial part of the turfgrass, but none in the stolon and root zone. This could be attributed to the short period of compaction treatment. The ROS (reactive oxygen species) analysis showed that ROS rapidly increased due to wear stress treatment. The MDA content increased during the traffic process, whereas the green pixels increased and decreased repeatedly; however, overall, the trend declined but the overall trend decreased. Thus, this study confirmed that MDA was effective in reflecting the wear stress of turfgrass; however, it could through RGB image analysis.
