Soil organic carbon (SOC) in the Arctic is vulnerable to climate change. However, research on SOC stored in the high Arctic regions is currently very limited. Thus, this study was aimed at understanding the distribution and characteristics of SOC with respect to geomorphology and vegetation in Svalbard. In August 2011, soil samples were collected near the Vestre Lov$\acute{e}$nbreen moraine. Sampling sites were chosen according to altitude (High, Mid, and Low) and differences in levels of vegetation establishment. Vegetation coverage, aboveground biomass, and SOC contents were measured, and density-size fractionation of SOC was conducted. The SOC content was the highest in the Mid site ($126.9mg\;g^{-1}$) and the lowest in the High site ($32.1mg\;g^{-1}$), although aboveground biomass and vegetation coverage were not different between these two sites. The low SOC content measured at the High site could be related to a slower soil development following glacial retreat. On the other hand, the Low site contained a high amount of SOC despite having low vegetative cover and a high ratio of sand particles. These incompatible relationships between SOC and vegetation in the Low site might be associated with past site disturbances such as runoff from snow/glacier melting. This study showed that geomorphological features combined with glacier retreat or melting snow/glacier effects could have affected the SOC distribution and vegetation establishment in the high Arctic.

In this study, stability of the new gabion system with vegetation base materials was analysed. New gabion system with vegetation base materials is a new approach which has been developed to achieve lope stabilization and revegetation of forest road cut-slope by making the best use of advantages of gabion systems with vegetation base materials. Results from stability analysis are as follows. For the soil density, the angle of internal friction and unit weight of the rock fill was assumed to be $1.90g/cm^3$, $30^{\circ}$ and $2.30t/m^3$, respectively, the slope stability analysis showed that the new gabion system couldn't require any poles to fix it up, and could keep stable during both rainy and dry seasons. As the results of checks against overturning and sliding, the retaining wall with. the new gabion system could produce suitable factors of safety for overturning and sliding. Vegetation established on the surface of the new gabion systems indirectly can help to increase slope stability by prevention of surface erosion. Consequently, the new gabion system with vegetation base materials could achieve the desired effect on slope stabilization as much as existing gab ion system could do, and could promote rapid establishment of vegetation on cut-slopes.

This study is carried out to investigate plant community structure, actual vegetation map and flora for examining the relationship between naturally introduced vegetation and surrounding vegetation in Hamtae coal-mined spoil lands. According to the analysis of vegetation, surrounding vegetation was divided into five plant community groups : Pinus koraiensis community, Pinus densiflora - Quercus mongolica community, Q. mongolica - Deciduous broadleaved trees community, Betula schmidtii - B. davurica community, Larix leptolepis community. Robinia pseudo-acacia, which had been planted, was dominant species in coal-mined spoil lands. Young trees, which were naturally introduced, such as B. schmidtii, B. davurica etc., partially appeared with the high density($15{\sim}19ea/100m^2$) in coal-mined spoil lands. The flora of this area was listed as 54 taxa; 22 families, 42 genus, 50 species, 3 varieties and 1 forma. Especially Spodiopogon sibiricus, Miscanthus sinensis, Arundinella hirta, Artemisia capillaris, Artemisia iwayomogi and Youngia denticulata appeared with the high frequency. It is estimated that the proper way for harmonious and effective revegetation is to target B. schmidtii - B. davurica communities and to seed B. schmidtii - B. davurica mixing highly frequent herbaceous species.

본 연구에서는 흐름방향으로 식생 영역이 교차적으로 식재된 교행식생 수로에서의 3차원 수치모의를 수행하였다. 지배방정식에서의 난류 폐합을 위해 ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ 모형을 적용하였으며, 수치모형은 Olsen(2004)이 개발한 3차원 모형을 이용하였다. 먼저, 3차원 수치모형을 이용하여 하상의 일부가 식재된 부분 식생 수로를 수치모의 하고, 계산된 적분유속 및 레이놀즈응력을 기존의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 모형이 식생 수로에서의 평균 유속 분포를 매우 잘 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ 모형이 등방성 모형이므로 식생과 비식생 영역의 경계면 부근에서 발생되는 운동량 교환 효과를 정확히 예측할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 주흐름방향으로 식생 영역이 교차적으로 존재하는 교행식생 수로를 수치모의 하고, 계산된 유속 분포를 기존의 실험 결과와 비교한 결과, 계산 유속과 실험 결과가 매우 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 다양한 밀도에 따른 유속 벡터도를 계산한 결과, 식생밀도가 증가함에 따라 식생이 흐름 방향을 변화 시켜 점차 만곡수로와 유사한 형태의 유속 벡터도를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 식생 밀도 ${\alpha}$가 9.97%인 경우에는 식생 반대 측벽 영역에서 재순환 흐름이 형성되는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 식생 밀도에 따른 단면 유속 분포도 및 편수위 변화를 살펴보았다.

침수식생 개수로 흐름은 식생영역과 상부영역에 서로 다른 흐름구조를 보인다. 즉, 식생영역에서 전단으로 인해 생성되는 난류는 억제되며 비교적 균일한 유속 분포를 보이며 상부영역에서는 일반 개수로 흐름과 유사한 흐름구조를 보인다. 이와 같이 두 상이한흐름구조가 결합된 복잡한 흐름특성으로 인해 침수식생 개수로흐름은 공학적인 관심의 대상이 되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 침수식생 개수로 흐름의 층적분 모형의 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 일반적으로 식생흐름의 층적분 모형은 층의 수에 따라 2층 및 3층모형으로 구분한다. 즉, 전체 수심을 식생영역과 상부영역으로 구분하는 2층모형과 식생영역을 바닥 조도의 영향 유무에 따라 내부 및 외부 식생영역으로 구분하는 3층모형으로 분류된다. 본 연구에서는 2층모형과 3층모형을 비교하였다. 다양한 실험조건에 적용한 결과, 3층모형이 식생영역에서 유속의 변화를 고려할 수 있으나 결과는 레이놀즈응력 분포에 민감하며, 적분된 유속은 2층모형에 의한 예측 결과가 더욱 정확한 것으로 나타났다. 3층모형에서 내부 식생영역의 결과가 전체 흐름구조에 미치는 영향이 무시할 수 있으므로 이 점을 착안하여 식생영역에서 유속 변화가 고려되는 수정 2층모형을 제시하였다. 수정 2층모형에서 가정하는 레이놀즈응력 분포는 상부영역에서는 선형, 식생영역에서는 멱함수 형으로 변화한다. 다양한 조건에 적용한 결과, 수정 2층모형이 대체로 기존의 모형과 비슷한 정도의 예측을 수행하나 식생밀도가 매우 작은 흐름의 경우 예측 결과가 불량한 것으로 나타났다.

자연친화적인 하천복원의 관심이 증폭되면서 하도내 식생은 경관이나 기능적으로 매우 중요한 항목으로 인정받고 있다. 반면에 식생은 통수단면적을 줄어들게 하고, 하천 흐름 저항 증가로 인해 유속이 감소, 이에 따른 수위상승이라는 치수적인 측면에서는 부정적인 역할을 하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 하천 복원으로 인해 수리학적 요소가 급변한 하천에서 정확한 조도계수 산정 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. HEC-RAS와 연직 2차원 수리해석 방법을 이용하여 하천복원 후의 양재천 중하류 구간의 하천조도계수는 주수로 0.011~~0.159, 식생 설치를 하지 않았을 시의 홍수터 0.031, 식생을 설치했을 경우에는 0.034~0.505의 값을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 홍수터에 추가로 식생 밀도를 30% 증가시켜 본 결과, 양재천에서의 수위 상승은 식생후 보다 0.13~0.34m로 모의되어, 홍수터의 추가 식생에 의한 수위변동은 미비한 것으로 판단된다.

The primary purposes for using fire are to enhance marsh vegetation to support waterfowl, and to manage invasive plant species. The study was conducted for two consecutive years in 2004 and 2005, investigating the effects of prescribed fire regimes on vegetation biomass in tidal brackish marsh areas of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge located on the eastern shore of Maryland, USA, that are under relatively similar environmental conditions. Four different burn regimes (i.e., annual burn, 3-5 year burn, 7-10 year burn, and no burn) were applied in the study. Above- and below-ground vegetation biomass samples as affected by the different burn regimes were harvested in each year for five plant species native to the marsh; Distichlis spicata, Spartina alterniflora, Schoenoplectus americanus, Spartina cynosuroides and Spartina patens. No significant difference was found either in total above-ground biomass or in above-ground biomass by species between burn regimes in 2004. However, more total above-ground biomass was produced in annual burn regime in 2005 than in the other burn regimes. There were no consistent effects of burning on vegetative biomass production by species, but it seemed D. spicata was somewhat benefited by prescribed burning for its biomass production. Moreover, the stem density for D. spicata under annual burn regime was significantly higher than that in the other burn regimes, showing some positive effects of burning on vegetation. The below-ground biomass was significantly greater in 2004 than in 2005, yet with no significant difference between burn regimes in either year. A longer-term monitoring is strongly recommended.

The LiDAR data structure has the potential for modeling in three dimensions because the LiDAR data can represent voxels with z value under certain defined conditions. Therefore, it is possible to classify the physical damaged degree of vegetation by forest fire as using the LiDAR data because the physical loss of canopy height and width by forest fire can be relative to an amount of points reached to the ground through the canopy of damaged forest. On the other hand, biological damage of vegetation by forest fire can be explained using the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) which show vegetation vitality. In this study, we graded the damaged degree of vegetation by forest fire in Yangyang-Gun of South Korea using the LiDAR data for physical grading and digital aerial photograph including Red, Green, Blue and Near Infra-Red bands for biological grading. The LiDAR data was classified into 2 classes, of which one was Serious Physical Damaged (SPD) and the other was Light Physical Damaged (LPD) area. The NDVI was also classified into 2 classes which are Serious Biological Damaged (SBD) and Light Biological Damaged (LBD) area respectively. With each 2 classes ofthe LiDAR data and NDVI, the damaged area by forest fire was graded into 4 degrees like damaged class 1,2,3 and 4 grade. As a result of this study, 1 graded area was the broadest and next was the 3 grade. With this result, we could know that the burned area by forest fire in Yangyang-Gun was damaged rather biologically because the NDVI in 1 and 3 grade appeared low value whereas the LiDAR data in 1 and 3 grade included light physical damage like the LPD.
