본 논문은 숲가꾸기 산물인 간벌목이 산불에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 즉, 간벌목이 산불에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 강원도 양양군과 인제군, 경기도 가평군의 숲가꾸기 실행지와 미실행 지역을 선정하였다. 이 조사대상지에 대하여 수종, 입지특성, 간벌강도, 숲가꾸기 종류, 간벌재의 적재행태 및 산불위험도에 대한 조사를 수행하였다. 조사대상지인 양양군 5개소, 가평군 4개소, 인제군 5개소 총 14개 조사구에 대하여 숲가꾸기 실행지 9개소, 미실행지 5개소에 대한 현장조사를 실시하였다. 숲가꾸기 미실행지 5개소는 숲가꾸기 실행지와 인접한 조사지역을 선정하였고, 숲가꾸기 실행지와의 산불위험도에 대해 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 조사결과 숲가꾸기 실행지의 산물인 간벌목의 적재높이는 1 m 미만으로 적재되어 있어 산불연소시 수관부로 전파될 위험성은 거의 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 그러나 적재된 간벌목과 임목간의 거리가 거의 붙어 있어 적재된 간벌목에 산불이 붙을 경우 임목 줄기부(수간)에 직접영향을 줄 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 적재된 간벌목이 많이 쌓여 있을 경우 이로 인하여 재발화의 가능성이 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of thinning and pruning on characteristics of forest stand, mesopore ratio and soil water content at the Pinus koraiensis stands in Gwangneung, Gyeonggido. The Pinus koraiensis had been planted in 1976 and thinning and pruning were carried out in 1996. A sample area survey was conducted at experimental plots (thinned and unthinned) in 1998 and 2005, and mesopore ratio and soil water content have been monitored from 2000 to present. Average tree height of the thinned plot increased from 10.9m to 13.2m and from 10.3m to 12.8m for the unthinned plot. Average D.B.H of the thinned plot increased from 15.9cm to 21.1cm and from 14.5cm to 16.7cm for the unthinned plot during the period 1998-2005. Crown density at the thinned plot increased from 81.5% to 95.0% and from 89.5% to 95.0% for the unthinned plot during the period 1998-2005. Mesopore ratio (pF2.7) of A layer soil at the thinned plot was 40.1% while that of the unthinned plot was 37.3%. Changes of mesopore ratio at unthinned plot were not associated with stand age, but those at thinned plot had increased and then decreased, showing declining of the practice effect. Average soil water content at the thinned plot were 23.7% and 22.4% for the unthinned plot. Soil watercontents at both plots have been increased with increase in stand age. But the difference of soil watercontent at each plot has been decreased, especially at the depth of 10cm.

Nowadays, excessive using of fossil fuel contributes to global warming. Also, this phenomenon increases steadily. Therefore forest biomass from logging residues has received attention. The goal of this study was to determine the sustainability and economic feasibility of forest-biomass energy source. Accordingly, forest biomass resource was calculated, and harvesting and transporting machines which can be used in investing area were chosen, when using forest biomass as energy source. And then through these data, the harvesting cost was decided. The forest biomass resource calculated, thinned trees and logging residues, was 37,330.23 $m^3$ and 14,073.60 ton, respectively. When harvesting timber in each sub-compartment, the average thinned trees yield was 120.73 $m^3$, and tree logging residues was 402.80 ton. The use of tower yarder as harvesting and transporting equipments in study area was 85.4% and 66.7%, respectively, in up hill and down hill yarding. The average harvesting cost of biomass in the possibility area of timber yarding operation was expensive as 81,757 won/$m^3$, 85,434 won/m3 and 50,003 won/ton, respectively, in thinned trees and logging residue. If using data from this research analysis, tree could be felled by choosing sub-compartment.

본 연구는 전남 완도 붉가시나무림의 솎아베기 강도 처리에 따른 임분의 생장반응 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 1999년 솎아베기 후 연년 직경 생장량과 연년 재적 생장량에서 강도구의 효과가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났고, 약도구 또한 비슷한 수준의 효과가 있었다. H/D율은 DBH 생장량의 증가로 인해 약 80%까지 임목 형질 개선효과가 나타났다. 솎아베기 이후 강도구와 약도구의 임분 흉고단면적 총 생장량이 증가하는 경향으로 나타났으나, 간벌구의 손실로 말미암아 임분 흉고단면적은 대조구의 생장량 수준까지 장차 회복하기는 어려울 것으로 예측되었다.

Seral changes in floristic composition during abandoned field succession after shifting cultivation was investigated in eastern Kangwon-Do, Korea. According to the DCA ordination based on the floristic composition, sere of the dominant species was shown as follows: Digitaria sanguinalis, Persicaria spp., Commelina communis etc. in the annual stage (0∼1 years); Erigeron spp., Artemisia spp., Rubus crataegus etc. in the Erigeron-Artemisia stage (2∼6 years); Pinus densiflora, Salix spp., Miscanthus sinensis, Arundinella hirta etc. in the shrub - earlier tree stage (10∼25 years); P. densiflora, Quercus mongolica, Spodiopogon sibiricus etc. in the mid-tree stage (25∼50 years); Q. mongolica, Tripterigium regelii, Lespedeza maximowiczii, Carex siderosticta etc. in the latter tree stage (50∼80 years). In mid-tree stage, size-frequency distribution of P. densiflora was plotted as a platycurtic curve and that of Q. mongolica as a reverse J-shaped curve, which meant P. densiflora was thinned through interspecific competition and Q. mongolica was regenerated by itself in the later tree stage.

This study was conducted to examine litter inputs and litter decomposition rates following thinning, which is among the most important forest management activities that enhance the beneficial functions in Korean forests. Litter inputs and litter decomposition rates following a 2-year elapse from thinning in Pinus densiflora and following a 7-year elapse from thinning in Quercus variabilis stands were measured for 2 years from 16 sites in three regions (Sancheong-gun, Uiryeong-gun, and Jinju-si) in Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. Annual needle litter inputs in P. densiflora stands were significantly decreased following thinning, whereas annual broadleaved leaf litter inputs in Q. variabilis stands were not significantly different between thinned and unthinned treatments. The annual mean total litter inputs in both tree species were significantly lower in the thinned (P. densiflora: 3,653 kg ha^-1 year^-1; Q. variabilis: 4,963 kg ha^-1 year^-1) compared to the unthinned stands (P. densiflora: 5,138 kg ha^-1 year^-1; Q. variabilis: 5,997 kg ha^-1 year^-1) during the study period. The mass loss rates from decomposing needle litter in P. densiflora stands were significantly lower (p<0.05) in the thinned stands than in the unthinned stands for two sampling dates of the eight included in the study, whereas the decomposition rates from decomposing leaf litter in Q. variabilis stands were not affected by thinning. The results indicate that thinning effects on total litter inputs remained clear following a 2-year elapse from thinning in P. densiflora stands and following a 7-year elapse from thinning in Q. variabilis stands.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of thinning on changes in stand characteristics and understory vegetation in a silvopasture practiced Japanese larch plantation in the Research Forest of Kangwon National University, Korea. Three different thinning intensities (64%, 35%, and control) were applied. Before and after thinning, the understory plant species increased its number from 48 (7 tree species, 7 shrubs species, 28 herbaceous species, and 6 woody climbers) to 100 (11 tree species, 15 shrub species, 67 herbaceous species, and 7 woody climbers). Thinning made plants invade easily on the forest floor, and plot A (325 stems/ha) had much higher number of undersory species than those Of plot B (575 stems/ha) and control plot (1,150 stems/ha). In three years after thinning, understory aboveground biomass (kg/ha) of herbs were 523 for control, 1,230 for plot B, and 1,288 for plot A. The canopy coverage had remarkable influence on the understory biomass production, resulting in relatively small amount of herbage production on control plot. The differences were statistically significant between thinned plots and unthinned plot, but there were no significant differences among the thinned plots (p<0.05).

본 연구는 소나무림의 간벌에 따른 임분의 바이오매스 변화, 토양 $CO_2$ 발생량, 낙엽 및 뿌리의 분해율을 조사하여 연간 탄소 동태를 파악하고자 수행되었다. 8년생 소나무 묘포장에 대조구, 간벌지(50%), 개벌지를 각 3 방형구씩 조성하였고, 나지는 한 방형구를 조성하였다. 측정은 2012년 3월부터 2014년 2월까지 이뤄졌다. 연평균 근원직경 증가는 대조구 0.89 cm, 간벌지 1.48 cm로 대조구보다 간벌지에서 컸다(p<0.05). 연평균 순생산량은 대조구 $5.17kg\;C\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$, 간벌지 $4.85kg\;C\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$로 나타났다. 연간 토양 $CO_2$ 발생량은 대조구, 간벌지, 개벌지, 나지에서 각각 3.71, 3.90, 4.17, $4.56kg\;CO_2\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$으로 식생의 제거는 토양 $CO_2$ 발생을 증가시켰다(P<0.05). 토양 $CO_2$ 발생은 토양온도와 양의 상관관계가 있으나 토양수분과는 뚜렷한 관계가 나타나지 않았다. 순생태계생산량(NEP)은 대조구 $1.57kg\;C\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$, 간벌지 $1.36kg\;C\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$, 개벌지 $-0.67kg\;C\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$, 나지 $-1.25kg\;C\;m^{-2}\;yr^{-1}$으로, 식생 유무에 따른 차이를 나타냈다(P<0.05). 간벌은 임분 내 개체목의 근원직경과 탄소량을 증가시켰고, 1년 후 간벌재로 반출 된 탄소량의 86%를 회복했다. 또한 토양 $CO_2$ 발생량을 증가시켰고, 순생태계생산량을 증가시켰다. 소규모의 연구임에도 불구하고, 본 연구의 결과는 간벌에 의한 임분 밀도 조절이 소나무 유령림의 탄소저장량 증대와 생장에 있어 효과적임을 보여 주었다. 이는 우리나라에서 기후변화 완화를 위한 적극적인 소나무림의 경영이 필요함을 시사한다. 추후 실제 소나무림에서 영급별, 간벌 강도별, 지위별 등 다양한 변수를 고려한 장기적 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.

As apple trees mature, it is important to maintain good light distribution within the canopy to produce marketable fruits. Tree thinning is the selective removal of a proportion of trees growing in the orchard to provide more growing space and a good light environment for the remaining trees. This study was conducted over 3 years (14-16 years after planting) to investigate the influence of tree thinning on vegetative growth, yield, fruit quality, and blooming in the 14 years old slender spindle 'Fuji'/M.9 apple trees planted with the tree space of 3.2×1.2 m. The trees were placed in a control group (no thinning; 260 trees per 10 a) or a tree thinning group (thinned 50% of the control; 130 trees per 10 a). The tree thinning successfully improved light penetration, yield per tree, fruit red color, and yield efficiency for 3 years, and the tree thinning controlled the occurrence of biennial bearing. However, tree thinning significantly decreased accumulated yield per 10 a compared with the control. The vegetative growth, yield per tree, soluble solid contents, and blooming were not clear by the occurrence of biennial bearing in the control. These results indicated that tree thinning was a good method for improving light penetration and preventing biennial bearing in the old 'Fuji'/M.9 high-density apple orchards.
