Quantitative information on biomass and available nutrients are essential for developing sustainable forest management strategies to regulate atmospheric carbon. An attempt was made at Chilapatta Reserve Forest in Duars region of West Bengal to quantify its above and below ground carbon along with available "N", "P" and "K" in the soil. Stratified random nested quadrats were marked for soil, biomass and litter sampling. Indirect or non-destructive procedures were employed for biomass estimation. The amount of these available nutrients and organic carbon quantified in soil indicates that the forest soil is high in organic carbon and available "K" and medium in phosphorus and nitrogen. The biomass, soil carbon and total carbon (soil C＋C in plant biomass) in the forest was 1,995.98, 75.83 and $973.65Mg\;ha^{-1}$. More than 90% of the carbon accumulated in the forest was contributed by the trees. The annual litter production of the forest was $5.37Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Carbon accumulation is intricately linked with site quality factors. The estimated biomass of $1,995.98Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ clearly indicates this. The site quality factor i.e. tropical moist deciduous with optimum availability of soil nutrients, heavy precipitation, high mean monthly relative humidity and optimum temperature range supported luxuriant growth which was realized as higher biomass accumulation and hence higher carbon accumulated.

In this study, we aimed to determine the seasonal distribution and biomass of fish in Samcheok marine ranching area (MRA) of Republic of Korea using the scientific echosounder. Fish trap and gillnets were used to identify fish species in the survey area, and dB-difference method was used to estimation the spatio-temporal distribution and density of fish. The results showed that the dominant species in Samcheok marine ranching area were Chelidonichthys spinosus, Sebastes inermis, Hexagrammos otakii and Tribolodon hakonensis. The spatio-temporal distribution of fish showed that fish had a relatively higher distribution at night than during the day. In addition, the density of fish by season was highest at night in July at 34.22 g/m² and lowest in April at 0.42 g/m².

지구환경문제 등의 대두 및 친환경 에너지원으로 산림 바이오매스 자원에 대한 관심의 증폭에 따라 현재 우리나라 산림 바이오매스에 대한 정확한 추정 및 정보 관리프로그램 제작을 위하여 본 연구가 수행되었다. 2005년 말 현재 우리나라 총 산림 바이오매스량은 520,852천톤이며, 이들 중 실제 바이오매스 생산이 가능한 시업지를 대상으로 바이오매스량을 산정한 결과 402,795천톤이었고, 목재이용 가치가 가장 높은 경제림단지에 대한 바이오매스량은 200,768천톤으로 추정되었다. 또한 국내 산림에서 연간 임목의 생장에 의해 생산가능한 바이오매스량을 계산한 결과 20,340천톤이었고, 이를 화석연료로 대체할 수 있는 척도인 발열량으로 전환하여 보면 94,290Gkal로서, 이를 당시의 실내등유가로 환산하면 약 90억원에 달하는 양이다. 산림 바이오매스의 주기별 변화 추이는 '85년 말부터 '05년 말 현재까지 10년 주기로 4.95%, 5.30%, 4.46%로 '95년을 정점으로 바이오매스 생장율이 감소추세에 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한편 산림축적을 바이오매스로 전환하는 현재의 계수들이 임상별로 되어 있기에 수종별로는 계산이 곤란하므로 이에 대한 계수 개발이 요구되며, 아울러 직경 및 수고 인자 등을 이용하여 바이오매스를 추정하기 위한 함수식 개발도 필요한 시점이다.

To estimate seaweed biomass or standing crop, a nondestructive sampling can be beneficial because of not much destroying living plants and saving time in field works. We suggest a methodological procedure to estimate seaweed biomass per unit area in marine benthic habitats by using species-specific regression equations. Percent cover data are required from the field samplings for most species to convert them to weight data. However, for tall macroalgae such as kelps we need density data and their size (e.g., size class for subtidal kelps) of individuals. We propose that the field sampling should be done with 5 replicates of 50 cm x 50 cm quadrat at three zones of intertidals (upper, middle, lower) and three depth points (1, 5, 10 m) in subtidals. To obtain a reliable regression equation for a species, a substantial number of replicate is necessary from destructive samplings. The regression equation of a species can be further specified by different locality and different season, especially for the species with variable morphology temporally and spatially. Example estimation carried out in Onpyung, Jeju Island, Korea is provided to compare estimated values with real weight data.

A thermochemical equilibrium model was constructed for predicting composition of synthesis gas in biomass gasification. The model included estimation of equilibrium constants using Gibbs free energy. After constructing the model, the results were compared with the experimental values and predictions from a previous model. Gas compositions were reasonably well agreed with them and showed effects of operational and fuel condition. When the reaction temperature increased, the lower heating values decreased due to the decrease in CH4 concentrations. The methane concentrations were lower than those observed in experimental results. The model was used to predict the gas composition and heating values for the cases of mixed fuel of charcoal and un-dry woodchips. Although downdraft gasifiers require fuels less than 15% of moisture contents, the model results indicated that the mixed fuel with charcoal and woodchips which had over 25% of moisture contents could be used in the downdraft gasifiers. It might be explained by increase in energy density resulting from mixing charcoal. The results imply that the efforts and costs for drying biomass fuels could be reduced by mixing charcoal or fuels with higher calorific values.

Recently, the development of renewable energy sources in Korea has been needed due to climate change. One of powerful alternative energy resources to mitigate emission is to switch conventional fuels to renewable energy, such as bioenergy. In this study, current status of bioenergy conversion technology and its supply in Korea was investigate. Based on theoretical, technical and realizable potential of biomass in Korea, the amount of reduction of green house gases was estimated. The results shown that the contribution of biomass on 2020 reduction target of green house gases emission in power generation was $513,000\;tCO_2/yr$ and utilization ratio of technical potential of biomass was 6.4%. For the effective supply of bioenergy in Korea, more exact estimation of realizable potential of biomass in Korea and stable supply sources are needed.

Estimation of carbon in the natural forest regions is a pre-requisite for carbon management. In the light of increasing carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, the amount of carbon present in the plants and soils are very much needed to estimate the sequestered carbons stock of any region. Carbon stock estimation studies are limited in India, especially in the natural forest regions of Eastern ghats of Tamil Nadu. Remote sensing, Geographical Information System (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS) were used along with extensive field and laboratory works to estimate the carbon stock in the living biomass and soil. About five forest types were identified and mapped using satellite data. The total biomass carbon including above and below ground were 2.74 Tg and the total soil organic carbon was 3.48 Tg. This study has yielded significant information about the carbon stock in a natural forest region and it could be used for future comparative studies.

This study was conducted to develop allometric equations and to determine the stem density and biomass expansion factor (BEF) for the estimation of the aboveground and belowground biomass of Cryptomeria japonica in Jeju Island, Korea. A total of 18 trees were harvested from the 40-year-old C. japonica stands in Hannam experimental forest, Jeju Island. The mean biomass of the C. japonica was $50.4Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in stem wood, $23.1Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in root, $9.6Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in branch, $4.6Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in needle and $4.3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in stem bark. The diameter at breast height (DBH) was selected as independent variable for the development of allometric equations. To evaluate the performance of these equations, coefficient of determination ($R^2$) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used and results of the evaluation showed that $R^2$ ranged from 71% (root biomass equation) to 96% (aboveground biomass equation) and the RMSE ranged from 0.10 (aboveground biomass equation) to 0.33 (root biomass equation). The mean stem density of C. japonica was $0.37g\;cm^{-3}$ and the mean aboveground BEF was $1.28g\;g^{-1}$. Furthermore, the ratio of the root biomass to aboveground biomass was 0.32.

Simocephalus spp.는 수생식물이 발달한 호소의 수변부 및 습지 서식처에서 우점 출현하는 중대형 지각류로, 해당 서식처의 동물플랑크톤 군집 생체량(biomass)에 기여하는 정도가 높아 먹이망 내 생물학적 상호작용을 기반으로 한 물질 순환을 이해하기 위해서는 Simocephalus종들의 생체량 산정이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 S. serrulatus의 생체량 추정에 사용되어지고 있던 기존의 선행 산정식을 검토하고, 현미경 디지털 카메라와 미세 저울 같은 장비를 사용하여 개체의 다양한 체측값(체장, 너비 및 면적)과 생체량(건중량)을 직접 측정하여 상호 간 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 국내 『생물측정망 조사 및 평가지침 - 보구간편』에서 제시하고 있는 Simocephalus spp.의 생체량 산정식(Kawabata and Urabe, 1998)을 사용하여 S. serrulatus 생체량을 추정했을 때, Lemke and Benke (2003)에 의해 개발된 S. serrulatus종 특이적 생체량 산정식 대비 추정치-실측치 간 오차가 상대적으로 크게 나타났으며, 두 산정식에서 모두 개체 체장 증가에 따른 오차 증가 및 유사 체장 개체 간 오차 편차 증가 경향이 보여졌다. 체측값별로 건중량과 회귀 분석을 실시한 결과, S. serrulatus 생체량 추정에 가장 적합한 산정식은 너비-건중량 지수 회귀식(R²=0.9555)으로 도출되었다. 이 같은 종 특이적 생체량 산정식의 검토 및 개발 연구는 수생태계 먹이망 내 동물플랑크톤 역할 및 기능 파악하는 데 도구(tool)로써 활용될 수 있다.
