Soil quality has been regarded as an important factor for maintaining sustainability of ecosystem. Main purpose of this research was i) to select minimum factor for predicting biomass, and ii) to calculate soil quality index for biomass according to soil chemical properties. Result showed that soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic matter (SOM), cation exchange capacity (CEC), and available phosphorus are minimum data set for calculating biomass production in soil. Selected representative soil chemical properties were evaluated for soil quality index and rated from 1 to 5 (1 is the best for biomass production). Percentage of each grade in terms of biomass production in national wide was 14.52, 35.23, 33.03, 6.47, 10.75% respectively. Although, only soil chemical properties were evaluated for calculating optimum soil quality, result of this research can be useful to understand basic protocol of soil quality assessment in national wide.

Callus and cell suspension cultures of Eurycoma longifolia Jack were initiated from leaves of different trees. The leaf explant of tree Eu9 produced the most calli and also induced high cell biomass in the cell suspension culture. Optimum production of cell biomass could be initiated in proliferating culture medium with a pH of 5.75 prior to autoclaving. The effects of macronutrient inorganic salts of Murashige and Skoog (MS) liquid medium supplemented with X on production of cell biomass of Eurycoma longifolia were also investigated. The highest cell biomass was produced in MS medium containing macronutrients of $21\;mM\;NH_4NO_3,\;12.25\;mM\;KNO_3,\;3.00\;mM\;CaCl_2.2H_2O,\;0.575\;mM\;MgSO_4.7H_2O$, and $1.83\;mM\;KH_2PO_4$. A new medium labeled as TAM was formulated for the production of Eurycoma longifolia cell biomass in the cell suspension culture.

In this paper the authors provide comparative evaluation of current research that used liquefaction and pyrolysis method for bio-oil production from various types of biomass. This paper review the resources of biomass, composition of biomass, properties of bio-oil from various biomass and also the utilizations of bio-oil in industry. The primary objective of this review article is to gather all recent data about production of bio-oil by using liquefaction and pyrolysis method and their yield and properties from different types of biomass from previous research. Shortage of fossil fuels as well as environmental concern has encouraged governments to focus on renewable energy resources. Biomass is regarded as an alternative to replace fossil fuels. There are several thermo-chemical conversion processes used to transform biomass into useful products, however in this review article the focus has been made on liquefaction and pyrolysis method because the liquid obtained which is known as bio-oil is the main interest in this review article. Bio-oil contains hundreds of chemical compound mainly phenol groups which make it suitable to be used as a replacement for fossil fuels.

A natural population of Adonis multiflora, a spring ephemeral herb growing in temperate deciduous forests, was studied to determine the seed production characteristics. Plant size, flowering time, and seed number were monitored from February 2009 to May 2011 in main growing season (i.e., from March through May). The biomass rates of the shoot and the root in the A. multiflora population were 22-24% and 76-78%, respectively, and the biomass of the root was proportional to that of the shoot. The flowering rate was 60% in the plants with 1 to 2 g of shoot biomass, and 100% in the plants with >2 g of shoot biomass. In the plants with root biomass between 4 and 6 g, the flowering rate was 43% and, in the plants with the root biomass over 8 g, it was 100%. The shoot biomass was a better predictor of the flower production probability than the root biomass. The number of flowers and seeds was closely correlated to shoot biomass at 1% significance level. The size of the plant that produced seed excessively instead of the shoot biomass in one year typically decreased in the next year and vice versa. The flowering time and its duration were closely related to the number of faithful seeds but not to that of total seeds. The number of faithful seeds was proportionate to flowering duration and inversely proportionate to flowering time (year day, YD). In a plant, the number of faithful seeds noticeably decreased with the inflorescence (i.e., order of flower in a plant), and this difference between the two successive flowers was significant at the 1% level between the first and the third flower in 2009 and 2011 but not between the third and the fourth. However, the number of total seeds was mostly similar in the first through the fourth flower for all three years.

서울특별시 남산지 역 신갈나무 천연림의 $46\sim52$년생 3개 임분을 대상으로 하층식생과 뿌리를 포함한 현존량,순생산량,생산능률등을 조사하였다. 임분 전체의 현존량은 $147.76~278.481/ha$,순생산량은 $6.96\siml1.11t/ha/yr$이었으며, 임분 전체 현존량에 대한 하층 현존량의 구성비는$0.14\siml.14\%$이었다. 현존량축적율은$20.72\sim25.07$로서 장령림에서 노령림으로 이행하는 초기 단계이었으며, 순동화율은$2.79\sim3.34$이었다. 남산지역 신갈나무림은 기 보고된 다른 지역 신갈나무림에 비하여 순동화율즉, 잎의 광합성 능률과 임분 순생산량이 낮은 특성을 보였는데. 이것은 남산은 대도시의 중앙부에 위치하고 있는 지역으로서 대기오염과 인위적 간섭의 영향이 심하기 때문으로 판단되었다.

최근 화석연료의 사용증가에 따라 대량으로 배출되는 이산화탄소는 지구 온난화 현상을 일으키는 온실가스 중 하나로 지정되어 국제협약을 통하여 온실가스의 배출을 저감하도록 규제하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이산화탄소를 저감하는 방법 중의 하나로, 3세대 바이오매스 생산시스템인 해조류를 활용한, 지속가능한 신 개념의 FPSO로서 해상환경 바이오매스 생산시스템의 최적구조를 설계하였다. 이를 위해 격자로 구조물을 설치한 후 해조류의 주변에 LED 조명을 비추어 성장을 최대화 시키는 시스템을 구상하였다. 그리고 기존 해조류의 성장자료를 통하여 해조류의 성장 모델을 만든 후 풍력발전기와 LED 조명을 포함하는 바이오매스 생산시스템을 모델링하여 최적화 도구인 GAMS 프로그램을 이용하여 본 시스템이 환경적 관점뿐만 아니라 경제성 측면에서도 타당성을 가질 수 있는 최적구조를 설계하였다. 또한 기존의 해상환경 바이오매스 생산시스템과 비교하여 최적구조를 제안하였다.

Heavy reliance on fossil fuels has been associated with increased climate disasters. As an alternative, microalgae have been proposed as an effective agent for biomass production. Several advantages of microalgae include faster growth, usage of non-arable land, recovery of nutrients from wastewater, efficient CO₂ capture, and high amount of biomolecules that are valuable for humans. Microalgae Chlorella spp. are a large group of eukaryotic, photosynthetic, unicellular microorganisms with high adaptability to environmental variations. Over the past decades, Chlorella has been used for the large-scale production of biomass. In addition, Chlorella has been actively used in various food industries for improving human health because of its antioxidant, antidiabetic, and immunomodulatory functions. However, the major restrictions in microalgal biofuel technology are the cost-consuming cultivation, processing, and lipid extraction processes. Therefore, various trials have been performed to enhance the biomass productivity and the lipid contents of Chlorella cells. This study provides a comprehensive review of lipid enhancement strategies mainly published in the last five years and aimed at regulating carbon sources, nutrients, stresses, and expression of exogenous genes to improve biomass production and lipid synthesis.

사탕무즙을 이용한 알콜생산에서 배출되는 증류폐액(sugar beet stillage)을 기질로 고온성 효모인 Candida rugosa를 이용해 단세포단백을 생산 할 때 기질의 최적화와 COD 감소를 연구하였다. 인의 첨가는 실험에 사용된 3가지 모든 시료기질에 꼭 필요한 것으로 나타났고 질소첨가는 기질의 잔당농도가 높을 경우에 필요하였다. 모든 시료에 있어서 인의 첨가는 생균생산율(Biomass production)을 23-61% 까지 크게 높였다. 이에 비해 질소의 첨가는 잔당함량이 높을 경우 생균생산율을 약간 상승시켰으나 질소와 함께 첨가할 경우 90%까지 크게 높였다. COD는 인의 첨가로 인해 26-46%까지 더 감소되었으며 질소와 함께 첨가할 경우 85%까지 크게 감소되었다.

The distribution of microzooplankton and hydrographic variables were measured in the Virginia portion of Chesapeake Bay and its major rivers. Samples were collected at 14 locations at monthly interval from September 1993 through December 1995. Ciliates were numerically dominated (>90%) and copepod nauplii comprised highest proportion of the total microzooplankton biomass (>77%). Copepod nauplii and ciliates were the most abundant at oligohaline water and rotifers at freshwater. Total microzooplankton density and biomass were usually higher at oligohaline stations than fresh water and polyhaline stations. Despite high nutrient concentration and phytoplankton density at eutrophic water, micro- and mesozooplankton biomass were low. Mesozooplankton were relatively abundant at polyhaline stations. The comparison between annual mean biomass of ciliates (12.7 ${\mu$}gC/1) and that of autotrophic picoplankton (13.5 {$\mu$}gC/1) revealed that ciliates were a major consumer of picoplankton production. The secondary production by ciliates was 12.7 ${\mu}$gC/1/day, representing 5% of the annual mean primary production in Chesapeake Bay, Total microzooplankton comprised 84% of the total zooplankton carbon content, representing five times higher than mesozooplankton biomass.
