In this study, we investigated the Fukiage sand dunes of southern Kyushu, Japan. We surveyed the status of recovery of coastal Japanese black pine forests damaged by pine wilt disease and their disaster prevention capability. We placed two transects: Transect 1, in an area that was severely damaged (80-90% damage rate) by pine wilt disease, and Transect 2, in an area that was mostly undamaged (<10% damage rate). Then, we installed survey lines, carried out vegetation surveys, and measured the depth and pH of humus soil. The survey lines were placed perpendicular to the coastline from the top of the fore-dune to the inland area, and divided into five 50 m sections. Before the point 100 m inland from the top of the fore-dune, the number of invasive hardwoods and of Japanese black pines were small because of the poor growth environment in both transects. Past the 100 m point, the species and number of Japanese black pines and broad-leaved trees increased further inland because the growth environment improved. In addition, the recovery metrics of tree height, diameter at breast height, age, and number in Transect 1 were much lower than those in Transect 2, and the basal area of broad-leaved trees and the depth of humus soil in Transect 1 were lower than in Transect 2, and the soil pH of humus soil in Transect 1 was higher than that of Transect 2. The shape ratio of the Japanese black pine forests indicated that they were insufficient for disaster prevention. Therefore, in order to fully promote the disaster prevention capability of coastal Japanese black pine forests, we should not only focus on prevention of pine wilt disease but also undertake continuous control efforts taking into consideration the sound growth environment such as appropriate density and soil management and removal of invasive broad-leaved trees.

2018년 전남 고흥군에서 발생한 유자나무의 집단 고사가 발생했다. 이에 대한 원인 조사를 위해 고흥군 풍양면에 있는 18개 유자 과수원을 무작위로 선정하여 조사를 수행한 결과 과수원별 고사증상을 보인 나무의 비율은 평균 43.6%(7.5%~100% 피해율), 증상을 보인 나무 중 56.5%는 나무 전체가 완전 고사되는 피해를 입은 것으로 나타났다. 고사 증상을 보인 대부분의 유자나무에서는 동해의 전형적인 증상인 표피 안 형성층과 목부의 갈변, 잎눈과 꽃눈의 무 발아, 가지나 줄기에 쪼개짐 증상 등이 관찰되었다. 따라서 기상 조건과 유자나무의 고사 증상이 연관 되어있을 것이라는 가설을 바탕으로 고흥지역의 과거 기상 자료를 분석하였다. 2017년 1월과 2월 고흥지역의 일평균 기온은 $-10^{\circ}C$ 이상이었으나, 2018년의 동 기간에는 $-10^{\circ}C$ 아래로 떨어진 날이 7일이나 되었다. 특히 2018년에는 1월과 2월에 유자의 내한성을 훨씬 넘어선 극최저기온(각각 $-12.6^{\circ}C$와 $-11.5^{\circ}C$)이 관측되었다. 또한 그해 3월 중순과 4월 초에 일 최저기온이 $13^{\circ}C$로 상승한 이상고온 직후 급격히 기온이 $0^{\circ}C$로 떨어지는 현상이 발생하였다. 결론적으로, 2018년 겨울철에 기록적인 극최저기온과 이상고온에 이은 급격한 기온의 저하로 인한 동해가 고흥지역에 대발생한 고사증상의 주요 원인이 되었을 것으로 추정하였다.

Background: Rehmannia glutinosa (Gaertn.) Libosch. ex Steud. has long been used as a traditional medicinal plant in Korea. This study was carried out to investigate the emergence conditions during the seedling periods in R. glutinosa. Methods and Results: The rhizomes of R. glutinosa variety (Jihwang 1) were harvested in the 22, March, 2018. The rhizomes were sown on in 50-cell plug trays. The emergence rates of seedlings at $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $25-40^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$ treatment seedling were 1.3%, 96%, 100% and 0%, respectively. Rhizome rot was occurred at the temperature of $15^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$. The emergence rates of seedlings in high moisture (HM), moderate moisture (MM) and low moisture (LM) treatments at $35^{\circ}C$ were 99.3%, 100%, and 0%, respectively. Drought damage was recorded in plant with the LM treatment. Seedling quality surveys were carried out at 10-days intervals from 10 to 60 days after sowing (DAS). Leaf length and leaf width were increasing until 50 DAS and the number of leaves was increasing until 60 DAS. Root length was increasing until 40 DAS, and then, flowering occurred from 30 to 60 DAS. Lastly, at 40 DAS, leaf aging and root enlargement was observed. Conclusions: We concluded that the emergence of seedlings was possible in the range of 20 to $40^{\circ}C$. Considering drying and rotting damage, we concluded that the moderate level of moisture is most appropriate for seedling emergence. In addition, we concluded that optimal seedling periods are between 30 and 40 DAS.

Objectives: The lung injuries by exposure to the humidifier disinfectants (HDs) were reported in 2011, Korea. For the HD victims, environmental exposure level and clinical diagnosis were conducted to determine the levels of damage by HDs. Methods: The exposure assessment to the HDs from 1st to 4th questionnaire surveys were carried out for 5,245 victims. And the affecting factors of exposure levels were analyzed by characterizing exposure and demographic information. By using of exposure concentration and cumulative time, exposure levels were classified and compared by percentage of clinical diagnosis classes. The high exposure and low clinical diagnosis rating groups, and low exposure and high clinical diagnosis rating groups were analyzed to overcome the limitation of past exposure assessment such as recall bias. Results: Among the all applicants damaged by the humidifier disinfectants, survivors were 4,028 and the dead were 1,217. And male and female were 2,675, and 2,547, respectively. In case of occurrence age of lung disease, under 10 years was majority age group (1,536) and followed by thirties (917). Pregnant women and fetuses were 339 and 439, respectively. And the damages by exposure to the HDs were concentrated on these susceptible populations in groups with low exposure and high clinical diagnosis rating. On the other hand, the groups classified by high exposure and low clinical diagnosis rating were shown different characterization. Conclusions: The questionnaire survey on past exposure may be uncertain due to recall bias. However, the relationship between classified exposure levels and clinical diagnosis ratings might be shown positive correlation if the exposure assessment errors were analyzed and controlled.

Starting in 2012, severe diebacks usually accompanied by abundant gum exudation have occurred on yuzu trees in Goheung-gun, Jeonnam Province, where severely affected trees were occasionally killed. On-farm surveys were conducted at 30 randomly-selected orchards located at Pungyang-myeon, Goheung-gun, and the resulting disease incidences were 18.5% and 39.6% for dieback and gumming symptoms, respectively. Black spots on branches and leaves also appeared on infected trees showing a typical dieback symptom. Morphological and molecular identifications of the isolated fungal organisms from lesions on the symptomatic leaves and branches revealed that they are identical to Phomopsis citri, known to cause gummosis. In order to find the reason for this sudden epidemic, we investigated the weather conditions that are exclusively distinct from previous years, hypothesizing that certain weather extremes might have caused the severe induction of pre-existing disease for yuzu. There were two extreme temperature drops beyond the yuzu's cold hardiness limit right after an abnormally-warm-temperature-rise during the winter of 2011-12, which could cause severe frost damage resulting in mechanical injuries and physiological weakness to the affected trees. Furthermore, there was an increased frequency of strong wind events, seven times in 2012 compared to only a few times in the previous years, that could also lead to extensive injuries on branches. In conclusion, we estimated that the possible damages by severe frost and frequent strong wind events during 2012 could cause the yuzu trees to be vulnerable to subsequent fungal infection by providing physical entries and increasing plant susceptibility to infections.

This paper assessed environmental impacts of marine sand mining on coastal areas and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of Korea, and diagnosed problems of the related assessment statements for suggesting key assessment items (scoping) and system improvement. To mitigate conflicts and environmental impacts caused by large-scale, concentrated sand mining, we suggest it is critical to promote sustainable and eco-friendly utilization of marine resources while listening opinions from various stakeholders and analyzing alternative plans. Especially, it should be mandatory as a scoping item to provide verifiable data on the amount of sand, potential and accumulative impacts by mining, and key assessment items (e.g. erosion and sedimentation by submarine topography, benthic change, spreading of suspended solids, water pollution, grain-size change, and impact on fisheries resources). We also suggest that postassessment and monitoring should be improved to enable tracking of environmental impacts caused by sand mining through seasonal monitoring together with intermittent short-term surveys. In addition, effective measures to mitigate the impacts is also essential. As repeated sand mining at large-scale can damage marine ecosystems by long-term accumulated impacts, we suggest that assessment systems and regulatory policies should be developed and established, especially for ensuring reliability of assessment and review on selected major sandmining projects.

An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, in favor of oxidants leading to oxidative stress, is known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Isoprostanes are structurally stable isomers of the conventional enzymatically derived prostaglandins, which are produced in vivo primarily by a free radical catalyzed peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. In asthmatics, disease severity can occur from environmental exposure to air pollution. Some surveys suggested that air pollutants, especially diesel-exhaust particulates, could trigger allergic sensitization and development of atopic diseases. Sick house syndrome (SHS) presents healthy damage owing to the indoor environment of a building. The aim of this study was to examine isoprostane as a parameter fur oxidative stress in environments related diseases such as sick house syndrome, atopy and asthma. We measured plasma and urinary levels of isoprostane from health volunteers, sick house syndrome, atopy and asthma patients. Plasma isoprostane concentrations in asthma and sick house syndrome group were significantly higher than in control. Urinary isoprostane levels were significantly higher in volunteers with sick house syndrome and asthma compared with health volunteers. These findings suggest that plasma and urinary isoprostane measurement may have useful clinical implications for investigating sick house syndrome and asthma. The interventions that decrease exposure to environmental reactive oxygen species might be beneficial in these diseases.
