This study was performed to investigate the physiological responses of Oplopanax elatus by water condition. Drought stress was induced by withholding water for 26 days. The results show that $P_{N\;max}$, SPAD, gs, E and Ci were significantly decreased with decreasing of soil moisture contents. However, AQY and WUE were decreased slightly only at 26 day. This implies that photosynthetic rate is reduced due to an inability to regulate water and $CO_2$ exchange through the stomatal. According to JIP analysis, ${\Phi}_{PO}$, ${\Psi}_O$, ${\Phi}_{EO}$ and $PI_{ABS}$ were dramatically decreased at 21 day and 26 day, which reflects the relative reduction state of the photosystem II. On the other hand, the relative activities per reaction center such as ABS/RC, TRo/RC were significantly increased at 26 day. Particularly, Dio/RC and DIo/CS increased substantially under drought stress, indicating that excessive energy was consumed by heat dissipation. These results of chlorophyll a fluorescence show that the sensitivity changes photosystem II activity. Thus, according to the results, O. elatus was exhibited a strong reduction of photosynthetic activity to approximately 10% soil moisture contents, and JIP parameters could be useful indicator to monitor the physiological states of O. elatus under drought stress.

Improved knowledge of the environmental factors affecting the natural regeneration of tree species in limestone forest is urgently required for species conservation. We examined the environmental factors and tree species characteristics that are important for colonization in diverse forest stands growing on a limestone hill in northern Thailand. Our analysis estimated the relative influence of forest structure and environmental factors on the regeneration traits of tree species. We established sixty-four $100-m^2$ plots in four forest stands on the limestone hill. We determined the species composition of canopy trees, regenerating seedlings, and saplings in relation to the physical environment. The relationships between environmental variables and tree species abundance were assessed by canonical correspondence analysis (CCA), and we used generalized linear mixed models to examine data on seedling/sapling abundances. The CCA ordination indicated that the abundance of tree species within the mixed deciduous forest was closely related to soil depth. The abundances of tree species growing within the sink-hole and hill-slope stands were positively related to the extent of rocky outcropping; light and soil moisture positively influenced the abundance of tree species in the hill-cliff stand. Physical factors had a greater effect on tree regeneration than did factors related to forest structure. Tree species, such as Ficus macleilandii, Dracaena cochinchinensis, and Phyllanthus mirabilis within the hill-cliff or sink-hole stand, colonized well on large rocky outcroppings that were well illuminated and had soft soils. These species regenerated well under conditions prevailing on the limestone hill. The colonization of several species in other stands was negatively influenced by environmental conditions at these sites. We found that natural regeneration of tree species on the limestone hill was difficult because of the prevailing combination of physical and biological factors. The influence of these factors was species dependent, and the magnitude of effects varied across forest stands.

선행함수조건(AMC)에 따라 유출용적이 매우 다르게 나타날 수 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라에서의 강우-유출 해석에는 그 적용성에 대한 평가 없이 미국에서 개발된 AMC조건(SCS, 1972)이 일반적으로 그대로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SCS의 CN 결정과정을 그대로 따라 평창강 유역의 장평 소유역에 대해 CN 값을 추정하고 이를 이용하여 AMC 조건을 평가하였다. 그 결과 CN(I), CN(II), CN(III)가 각각 72.1, 79.3, 76.7로 추정되었다. CN(II)의 경우는 기존 보고서와 유사한 값을 보여주고 있으나 나머지 값의 경우는 이론적인 값과 매우 동떨어진 결과를 나타내고 있다. 그러나 CN의 평가만으로 AMC 조건의 적절성을 판단하는 것은 어려우며, 오히려 AMC 조건의 발생 빈도를 검토하여 AMC 조건의 적절성은 판단하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 연구에서도 AMC 조건별로 호우사상의 발생빈도를 히스토그램으로 작성/비교하였으며, AMC-III 조건은 상향될 필요가, 반대로 AMC-I 조건은 하향될 필요가 있음을 확인하였다.

Forest community structure analysis in the Seooreung area, Goyang-si was carried out to supply basic data for reasonable management and conservation. The forest vegetation of the Seooreung area was classified into Alnus japonica community, Quercus mongolica - Carpinus laxiflora community, Quercus serrata community, and Pinus densiflora community. The dominant species in the area were in the order of Quercus mongolica, Quercus serrata, Robinia pseudoacacia, Quercus variabilis, Quercus aliena, Styrax japonica, Pinus rigida, and Alnus hirsuta. According to the DBH analysis result, Pinus densiflora was dominance species in Tomb area. Pinus rigida had a density of normal distribution style in the entire forests, therefore, their dominance are expected to continue for now. However, Quercus serrata is expected to extend their influence in the future in competition with Pinus rigida. Quercus mongolica had a density of normal distribution style in the Quercus mongolica - Carpinus laxiflora community, therefore, their dominance are expected to continue for now. Carpinus laxiflora is expected to extend their influence in the future in competition with Quercus mongolica. The relationship between the distribution of dominant species of forest vegetation and soil condition in Seooreung area was investigated by analyzing soil nutrition and moisture gradient. Alnus hirsuta community was distributed in the mesic and medium nutrition area and Quercus mongolica - Carpinus laxiflora community in the serix and relative good nutrition area. Pinus densiflora community was distributed in the serix and poor nutrition area and Quercus serrata community in the subserix and medium nutrition area.

This study aims to assess habitat feature on the large-scale spawning ground of the Boreal Digging Frog Kaloula borealis in Daemyung retarding basin of Daegu, and to analyze the relationships between species abundance and meteorological factors for each habitat. Fifty-seven(57) pitfalls were installed to collect species abundance of 4 survey regions, and high-resolution satellite image, soil sampling equipment, digital topographic map, and GPS were used to develop habitat features such as terrain, soil, vegetation, human disturbance. The analysis shows that the frog is most abundant in sloped region with densely herbaceous cover in southern part of the retarding basin. In the breeding season, lowland regions, where Phragmites communis and P. japonica dominant wetlands and temporary ponds distributed, are heavily concentrated by the species for spawning and foraging. Located in between legally protected Dalsung wetands and lowland regions of the retarding basin, riverine natural levee is ecologically important area as core habitat for Kaloula borealis, and high number of individuals were detected both breeding and non-breeding seasons. Temperate- and pressure-related meteorological elements are selected as statistically significant variables in species abundance of non-breeding season in lowland and highland regions. However, in sloped regions, only a few variables are statistically significant during non-breeding season. Moreover, breeding activities in sloped regions are statistically significant with minimum temperature, grass minimum temperature, dew point temperature, and vapor pressure. Significant meteorological factors with habitat features are effectively applied to establish species conservation strategy of the retarding basin and to construct for avoiding massive road-kills on neighboring roads of the study sites, particularly post-breeding movements from spawning to burrowing areas.

In this study, the LIDMOD3 was developed to design and evaluate low impact development (LIDMOD). In the same fashion, the LIDMOD3 employs a curve number (NRCS-CN) method to estimate the surface runoff, infiltration and event mean concentration as applicable to pollutant loads which are based on a daily time step. In these terms, the LIDMOD3 can consider a hydrologic soil group for each land use type LID-BMP, and the applied removal efficiency of the surface runoff and pollutant loads by virtue of the stored capacity, which was calculated by analyzing the recorded water balance. As a result of Model development, the LIDMOD3 is based on an Excel spread sheet and consists of 8 sheets of information data, including: General information, Annual precipitation, Land use, Drainage area, LID-BMPs, Cals-cap, Parameters, and the Results. In addition, the LIDMOD3 can estimate the annual hydrology and annual pollutant loads including surface runoff and infiltration, the LID efficiency of the estimated surface runoff for a design rainfall event, and an analysis of the peak flow and time to peak using a unit hydrolograph for pre-development, post-development without LID, and as calculated with LID. As a result of the model application as applied to an apartment, the LIDMOD3 can estimate LID-BMPs considering a well spatical distributed hydroloic soil group as realized on land use and with the LID-BMPs. Essentially, the LIDMOD3 is a screen level and simple model which is easy to use because it is an Excel based model, as are most parameters in the database. This system can be expected to be widely used at the LID site to collect data within various programmable model parameters for the processing of a detail LID model simulation.

경남에 소재하는 삼천포 및 하동 석탄 화력발전소 인근 농경지 토양을 대상으로 중금속 함량을 측정하였다. 삼천포지역 48개, 하동 지역 61개의 표토 및 심토를 대상으로 분석한 결과, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Zn는 모두 토양오염 우려기준 미만으로 나타났으나 Cd는 삼천포 38개, 하동 13개 시료에서 우려기준을 초과하였다. 지질부하지수와 농축계수를 구한 결과 Cd는 높은 오염도를 보였으며 Cd와 Pb는 인위적 오염원에 의한 토양 내 농축인 것으로 보인다. 그러나 연속추출을 통해 중금속의 존재형태를 규명한 결과 Cd를 포함한 토양 내 중금속들은 대부분 용출 가능성이 매우 적은 형태로 존재하여 생물이용도가 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 석탄 화력발전소 인근 토양이 인위적인 요인으로 인해 Cd로 오염되었으나 인근 생태계로 유입될 가능성은 낮음을 의미한다.

함평만은 좁은 만 입구와 복잡한 지형 구조로 인하여 비대칭적인 퇴적물 이동이 일어나기 때문에, 갯벌의 저질에는 모래 함량이 증가하는 것으로 연구되었다. 모래화 갯벌은 염습지 식생 분포를 변화시키는 것으로 현존식생도와 식생단면도 조사를 통해 분석되었다. 2016년과 2022년의 식생면적 비교에서 절대염생식물인 해홍나물군락은 74% 감소하였다. 반면 임의염생식물인 갯잔디군락은 75% 증가하였다. 특히 갯잔디는 지하경과 줄기의 밀도가 높게 발달하여, 군락 내 모래와 같은 퇴적물을 가둬서 견고한 사구환경을 조성하는 것으로 보인다. 함평만 갯벌의 효과적인 자연보전 관리 계획 수립을 위하여, 갯벌 토성 변화와 식생 군집의 상호작용이 향후 갯벌생태계에 미치는 영향에 대해 통합적 접근이 필요하다.
