Quantifying the amount of carbon pools in forest ecosystems enables to understand about various carbon pools in the forest ecosystem. Therefore, this study was conducted in the Chilimo dry afromontane forest to estimate the amount of carbon stored. The natural forest was stratified into three forest patches based on species composition, diversity, and structure. A total of 50 permanent sample plots of 20 m × 20 m (400 ㎡ ) each were established, laid out on transects of altitudinal gradients with a distance of 100 m between plots. The plots were measured twice in 2012 and 2017. Tree, deadwood, mineral soil, forest floor, and stump data were collected in the main plots, while shrubs, saplings, herbaceous plants, and seedling data were sampled inside subplots. Soil organic carbon (SOC %) was analyzed following Walkely, while Black's procedure and bulk density were estimated following the procedure of Blake (Methods of soil analysis, 1965). Aboveground biomass was calculated using the equation of Chave et al. (Glob Chang Biol_20:3177-3190, 2014). Data analysis was made using RStudio software. To analyze equality of means, we used ANOVA for multiple comparisons among elevation classes at α = 0.05. The aboveground carbon of the natural forest ranged from 148.30 ± 115.02 for high altitude to 100.14 ± 39.93 for middle altitude, was highest at 151.35 ± 108.98 t C ha^-1 for gentle slope, and was lowest at 88.01 ± 49.72 t C ha^-1 for middle slope. The mean stump carbon density 2.33 ± 1.64 t C ha^-1 was the highest for the middle slope, and 1.68 ± 1.21 t C ha^-1 was the lowest for the steep slope range. The highest 1.44 ± 2.21 t C ha^-1 deadwood carbon density was found under the middle slope range, and the lowest 0.21 ± 0.20 t C ha^-1 was found under the lowest slope range. The SOCD up to 1 m depth was highest at 295.96 ± 80.45 t C ha^-1 under the middle altitudinal gradient; however, it was lowest at 206.40 ± 65.59 t C ha^-1 under the lower altitudinal gradient. The mean ecosystem carbon stock density of the sampled plots in natural forests ranged from 221.89 to 819.44 t C ha^-1. There was a temporal variation in carbon pools along environmental and social factors. The highest carbon pool was contributed by SOC. We recommend forest carbon-related awareness creation for local people, and promotion of the local knowledge can be regarded as a possible option for sustainable forest management.

In Ethiopia, dry land vegetation including the fairly intact lowland and western escarpment woodlands occupy the largest vegetation resource of the country. These forests play a central role in environmental regulation and socio-economic assets, yet they received less scientific attention than the moist forests. This study evaluated the woody plant species composition, population structure and carbon sequestration potential of the A. senegal woodland across three distance gradients from the settlements. A total of 45 sample quadrants were laid along a systematically established nine parallel transect lines to collect vegetation and soil data across distance gradients from settlement. Mature tree dry biomass with DBH>2.5 cm was estimated using allometric equations. A total of 41 woody plant species that belong to 20 families were recorded and A. senegal was the dominant species with 56.4 IVI value. Woody plant species diversity, density and richness were significantly higher in the distant plots compared to the nearest plots to settlement (p<0.05). The cumulative DBH class distribution of all individuals had showed an interrupted inverted J-shape population pattern. There were 19 species without seedlings, 15 species without saplings and 14 species without both seedlings and saplings. A significant above ground carbon (5.3 to 12.7 ton ha^-1), root carbon (1.6 to 3.6 ton ha^-1), soil organic carbon (35.6 to 44.5 ton ha^-1), total carbon stock (42.5 to 60.7 ton ha^-1) and total carbon dioxide equivalent (157.7 to 222.8 ton ha^-1) was observed consistently with an increasing of distance from settlement (p<0.05). Distance from settlement had significant and positive correlation with species diversity and carbon stock at 0.64^⁎⁎ and 0.78^⁎⁎. Disturbance intensity may directly influence the variation of species composition, richness and density along the A. senegal woodland. The sustainability of the A. senegal woodland needs urgent protection, conservation and restoration.

생태계는 탄소순환에 있어 매우 중요한 탄소 저장고이다. 기후변화가 점점 심화됨에 따라, 생태계의 이러한 기능을 활용하여 기후변화를 완화하려는 노력들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 생태계를 대상으로 생태계 유형(산림, 농경지, 습지, 초지, 정주지) 및 탄소저장고별(지상부·지하부 생체량, 고사목, 낙엽, 토양유기탄소 및 생태계 전체) 탄소 저장 및 거동과 관련된 연구를 목록화 하고 분석하였다. 또한, 선행연구 결과를 모아 각 생태계 유형과 탄소저장고를 대상으로 탄소 저장 및 거동량의 평균값을 산정하였다. 그 결과, 대부분의(66%) 국내 탄소 저장·거동 관련 연구가 산림에서 수행된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 산림에서 수행된 연구 결과를 토대로 탄소저장고별 저장량을 분석한 결과, 식생의 지상부(4,166.66gC m^-2)와 지하부(3,880.95gC m^-2)와 토양(4,203.16gC m^-2)에 많은 양의 탄소가 저장되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 산림 지하부에 많은 탄소가 저장되어 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 다른 생태계 유형의 경우, 데이터의 제한으로 탄소저장고별 저장·거동량은 확인이 불가능하였다. 다만, 토양유기탄소 저장의 경우 산림과 초지의 데이터가 비교 가능하였는데, 두 생태계가 상대적으로 비슷한 탄소의 양을 저장하고 있는 것으로 나타났다(각각 4,203.16 gC m^-2, 4,023.23 gC m^-2). 본 연구를 통하여, 상대적으로 다양한 생태계 유형에서의 탄소 연구가 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Bhutanese forests have been well preserved and can sequester the atmospheric carbon (C). In spite of its importance, understanding Bhutanese forest C dynamics was very limited due to the lack of available data. However, forest C model can simulate forest C dynamics with comparatively limited data and references. In this study, we aimed to simulate Bhutanese forest C dynamics at 6 plots with the Forest Biomass and Dead organic matter Carbon (FBDC) model, which can simulate forest C cycles with small amount of input data. The total forest C stock ($Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$) ranged from 118.35 to 200.04 with an average of 168.41. The C stocks ($Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$) in biomass, litter, dead wood, and mineral soil were 3.40-88.13, 4.24-24.95, 1.99-20.31, 91.45-97.90, respectively. On average, the biomass, litter, dead wood, and mineral soil accounted for 36.0, 5.5, 2.5, and 56.0% of the total C stocks, respectively. Although our modeling approach was applied at a small pilot scale, it exhibited a potential to report Bhutanese forest C inventory with reliable methodology. In order to report the national forest C inventory, field work for major tree species and forest types in Bhutan are required.

1. Amylase 생산세균(生産細菌)의 분리(分離) 및 동정(同定) 다수(多數)의 amylase 생산세균(生産細菌)을 검색(檢索)하여 공기(空氣) 및 토양(士壞)에서 강력균주(强力菌株) A-12 및 S-8를 얻었다. 이들 균(菌)의 균학적(菌學的) 성질(性質)을 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果) 균주(菌株) A-12 및 S-8의 모든 특성(特性)은 Bergey's manual의 Bac. subtilis와 비슷하나 몇가지 탄수화물(炭水化物)로부터의 산생성(酸生成)과 구연산 이용성(利用性)이 달랐다. 즉(卽) A-12는 구연산을 이용(利用)하지 않고 arabinose와 xylose에서 산(酸)을 생성(生成)하지 않았으며 S-8는 xylose에서 산(酸)을 생성(生成)하지 않았다. 2. 액체배양(液體培養)에 의(依)한 Amylase 생산(生産) 정치배양(靜置培養)에 있어서 균주(菌株) A-12의 amylase 생산(生産)에 관(關)한 제반조건(諸般條件)을 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. (1) 최적조건(最適條件)은 배양온도(培養溫度) $35^{\circ}C$, 초발(初發) PH $6.5{\sim}7.0$, 배양기간(培養期間) $3{\sim}4$일(日)의 조건(條件)이었다. (2) 전배양(前培養)한 균(菌)의 보존기간(保存期間)는 amylase 생성(生成)에 영향(影響)을 주지 않았다. (3) amylase 생산(生産)에 있어서 각종(各種)의 고형원료중(固形原料中) 탈지대두박(脫脂大豆粕)이 가장 좋았다. 그러나 탈지대두박(脫脂大豆粕)을 alkali 처리(處理)한 것은 유채박(油菜粕)의 경우와는 반대(反對)로 그대로 사용(使用)하는 것보다 효과(效果)가 적었다. 대두박(大豆粕) alkali 침출액(浸出液)에 가용성(可溶性) 전분(澱粉)을 첨가(添加)한 배지(培地)는 amylase 생성(生成)을 뚜렷이 증가(增加)시켰다. (4) 탄소원(炭素源)이 부족(不足)한 배지(培地)에서는 1%의 ethanol의 첨가(添加)는 amylase 생성(生成)을 증가(增加)시켰으나 탄소원(炭素源)이 풍부(豊富)한 배지(培地)에서는 효과(效果)가 없었다. (5) 저렴(低廉)하게 구(求)할 수 있는 밀기울에 10%의 탈지대두박(脫脂大豆粕)을 혼합(混合)할 때에는 amylase 생성(生成)이 밀기울만의 경우의 2.5배(倍)로 증가(增加)되었다. (6) 탈지분유(脫脂粉乳)의 단용배지(單用培地)에서는 amylase 생성(生成)이 극(極)히 불량(不良)하였으나 탈지분유(脫脂粉乳)에 20%의 밀기울을 혼합(混合) 할때에는 amylase 생산(生産)이 월등(越等)히 증대(增大)되었다. 그 역가(力價)는 10% 농도배지(濃度培地)에서 $D^{40^{\circ}}_{30'}$ 7,000(L.S.V. 1,800)이었다. (7) 각종(各種) 무기염류(無機鹽類)의 첨가효과(添加效果)는 인정(認定)되지 않았다. 3. 밀기울 고체배양(固體培養)에 있어서 균주(菌株) A-12의 amylase 생산(生産)에 관(關)한 제반조건(諸般條件)을 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. (1) 최적배양조건(最適培養條件)은 배양온도(培養溫度) $33^{\circ}C$, 기간(其間) 2일간(日間) 첨수량(添水量) $150{\sim}175%$, 배지(培地)의 두께 1.5cm의 조건(條件)이었다. 최적조건(最適條件)에서의 amylase 역가(力價)는 $D^{40^{\circ}}_{30'}$ 36,000 (L.S.V. 15,000)이었다. (2) 각종(各種) 유기자원(有機資源) 및 무기물질(無機物質)의 첨가효과(添加?果)는 인정(認定)되지 않았다.
