We identified the main impacts, drivers, and restoration projects for Atlantic Forest in Northwest of the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The objective was to analyze the quantity, distribution, and causes of the environmental crimes in 2000-2014. To verify differences between degraded and restored areas, we performed a t-test; ANOVA for the municipalities with more quantity of crimes, simple linear regression analysis for the relationship between sizes of degraded areas and quantity of seedlings planted, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for environmental damages categories and population of the municipalities. The main environmental damages found were deforestation outside permanent preservation area (20%) and those related to Permanent Preservation Area (37%). Environmental crimes in these areas fall into two categories: native and exotic vegetation removal (17%), and impediment to natural regeneration (20%). The average size of the degraded areas was $5,359{\pm}526m^2$, while for restored areas was $3,337{\pm}255m^2$. The sizes of the degraded fragments were similar among the five municipalities with the higher number of environmental crimes (ANOVA: p>0.05, F=1.24; df=241). The number of seedlings planted was positively related to the sizes of the degraded fragments (p<0.001, $R^2=0.53$). Segregation between the less and the most populous municipalities was found with the PCA analysis along PC1 (51.7%), while PC2 represented 19.2% of the total variation. The most populous municipalities showed the highest number of environmental crimes, and the majority of degraded areas were recovered by planting native seedlings. Atlantic Forest fragments need to be recognized and preserved as an ecosystem with a unique ecological function by the population and public administration.

본 연구는 백두대간 지리산권역 내 훼손지의 유형을 분류하고, 각 훼손 유형별 실태조사를 통해 훼손 정도를 파악하여 훼손지의 복원 방향을 제시하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위해 수행되었다. 지리산권역의 훼손실태를 분석한 결과 전체 훼손지의 패치 수는 57개로 확인되었고, 평균고도가 낮고 경사가 완만한 지역일수록 훼손지의 패치 수 및 훼손 면적이 더 넓게 나타났다. 훼손 유형은 초지(폐경지)와 경작지의 비율이 높게 나타나 농업적 토지이용이 주요 훼손 요인으로 분석되었다. 이 중 14개소의 훼손지를 대상으로 실태조사를 수행한 결과, 훼손 유형은 초지, 경작지, 복원지, 벌채지 및 나지로 분류되었다. 각 유형별 교란정도(일년초 및 이년초의 비율, 도시화지수, 교란율)를 분석한 결과, 초지 및 경작지에서는 대부분 초본류로만 구성된 1층 구조의 단순한 식생구조와 교란정도가 높게 나타났다. 소나무 유묘가 다수 식재된 복원지의 경우 2층 구조의 식생구조가 나타났고, 복원사업으로 인한 교란과 인근의 등산로로 인해 귀화식물의 유입이 다른 훼손지에 비해 특히 높게 나타났다. 나지의 경우 고도가 높아 귀화식물의 유입은 낮았지만, 일년초와 이년초의 비율이 높게 나타나 조사된 모든 유형의 훼손지는 천이 초기단계로 판단되었다. 훼손 유형별 군락을 서열화한 결과, I 축상의 복원지, 경작지, 초지, 벌채지 및 나지 순으로 나타나 훼손 유형별로 구분되어 배열되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 훼손 유형별 조사지와 참조생태계의 군락을 서열화한 결과, 종조성의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 이처럼 생태적 복원 절차에 따라 식생정보에 기초한 훼손 유형별 실태를 진단하고, 진단 결과와 함께 참조생태계와의 종조성의 차이를 확인함으로써 향후 복원 목표 및 복원 방향 설정의 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

National Parks in Korea occupy about four percents of South Korean land. This paper aims to prove the potentiality of the application of remotely sensed data for the effective management of National Parks. Different satellite images such as Landsat TM, IRS-1C, Alternative image, and IKONOS image are analyzed for the detection of changes, the extraction of degraded areas, and the comparison of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in Bukhansan National Park. The artificial structures such as buildings and paved areas are overvalued in relatively higher resolution data. The result showed that the choice of images should be determined according to specific purposes and the combination of different resolution data may be the solution for the effective management of National Park.

본 연구는 훼손지에 적용된 국립공원 특별보호구 제도가 탐방로의 토양과 식생에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위해 실시되었다. 북한산 국립공원 내 일반 탐방로(개방 탐방로)와 특별보호구로 지정되어 16년 동안 출입이 금지된 탐방로(폐쇄 탐방로)의 토양의 용적밀도, 수분, 총 질소, pH, 유기물 함량을 측정하고, 지면피도를 조사하여 개방 탐방로와 폐쇄탐방로의 토양 및 식생상태를 비교분석하였다. 일반 탐방로의 토양은 탐방로 주변 식생지대의 토양에 비하여 용적밀도가 증가하고 수분과 총 질소, 유기물 함량이 감소하여 훼손을 확인하였으나, 폐쇄 탐방로의 경우, 토양의 용적밀도, 수분, 총 질소, pH, 유기물 함량이 주변 식생지대와 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않아 탐방로 폐쇄로 인한 생태적 회복을 확인하였다. 지면피도의 경우, 일반 탐방로에서 지면식생과 낙엽의 피도가 낮고 나지와 암석의 피도가 높아 훼손을 확인하였으나, 폐쇄 탐방로에서는 낙엽 암석 나지 피도가 회복되었고, 식생피도는 산림 환경피해도 등급을 적용하였을 때 제한적인 회복이 이루어진 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구를 통하여 특별보호구 지정을 통해 훼손지의 회복이 가능하나, 토양이 식생에 비하여 더 빠르게 회복됨을 알 수 있었다. 훼손지의 특별보호구 지정은 대상지의 회복특성에 대한 과학적 근거를 기반으로 판단할 필요가 있으며, 특별보호구 제도의 효과성을 높이기 위해 대상지의 생태적 사회적 가치와 중요성을 고려한 세분화된 특별보호구 선정 및 관리 기준이 필요하다.

1880년대에 이미 대기오염물질에 의한 대규모 삼림이 황폐되었고. 그 후에 이를 복구하기 위해 막대한 예산을 투자하고 있는 일본 아시오(足尾) 지역을 대상으로 삼림황폐와 황폐산지 복구사업 현황을 분석하였다. 삼림황폐의 원인은 구리 제련과정에서 배출되는 아황산가스. 제련과 광산용 목재의 남벌 대형 산불 험준한 지형 불리한 기후조건 등의 복합적인 작용으로 분석할 수 있다. 1897년부터 3년 동안 2,399ha의 식수사업을 비롯한 황폐삼림의 복구사업이 지속적으로 추진되었으나, 삼림황폐와 재해발생이 계속되어 1956년에 황폐산지의 총면적은 2,400~3,000ha이었다. 1945년부터 1996년까지$\ulcorner$인력에 의한 방법$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$헬리콥터에 의한 방법$\lrcorner$, $\ulcorner$인력과 헬리콥터 조합방법$\lrcorner$에 의한 시공으로 산복 828.19ha와 계간 133개소에 복구공사를 실행하였다. 예산은 약 800억 엔이 투자되었다. 주요 복구공법은 기초공사로서 사방댐과 흙막이공사, 녹화공사로서 식생반공법과 식생대공법 및 식재 공법이며, 인력에 의한 3단계 시공으로 장소별 완전복구를 목표로 하고 있다. 전반적으로 시공지의 녹화율은 약 49% 정도이며. 완전히 녹화된 비율은 전체 시공지의 10%에도 미치지 못한 실정이다. 남아 있는 황폐산지에 대하여 향후 25년 동안 약 213억 엔을 투입하여 산복공사 564ha, 계간공사 183개소를 복구할 계획이지만. 완전히 복구하는 데에는 몇 년이 걸릴지 예측할 수 없는 상황이다. 이곳에서의 황폐산림 복구공법은 우리 나라의 폐광지 산비탈을 복구하는 데에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Malaysia possesses about 1.56 million ha of Peat Swamp Forest (PSF). The PSF safeguard enormous biological diversity, while providing crucial benefits for the sustainable development of human communities. Numbers of threatened plant species are associated with the PSF, including the commercially important Gonystylus bancanus timber. To prevent significant losses of biodiversity, it is important to manage the PSF for both biological conservation and sustainable use. Equally important is to restore all degraded PSF in an attempt to ensure the PSF ecosystem is suitable for the vegetation to grow and rehabilitate back to the normal condition. Prior to plan any forest restoration program, there is a need to properly map the degraded PSF in order to estimate the forest conditions and determine the vegetations status. Most of the time this need to be done at a landscape level and requires a technology that can provide accurate, timely and reliable information for the planner to make decision. This paper describes a study using geospatial technology in combination with ground survey to classify the degraded PSF in South East Pahang Peat Swamp Forest (SEPPSF), Malaysia, into different degree of vegetation classes. With map accuracy of about 83%, the technique proved to be useful in delineating the different degree of PSF degradation from which the information can be used to properly plan forest restoration program in the area. The final output which is in the form of map can be used in developing a Restoration Master Plan for the degraded PSF areas.

This study was conducted to determine some physical and chemical properties of the soil and their relationship to spectroscopic-based (visible range) analytical methods while evaluating soil organic matter fractions and soil quality in degraded and non-degraded soils in a wide range of environments. Soil samples were collected from the different landscape positions of cultivated and noncultivated soils, and the latter from the same landscape positions but with different vegetation, at Songco, Lantapan, Bukidnon. The physical and chemical properties of the soils were determined at the SPAL, CMU, Musuan, Bukidnon while the metagenomic properties were determined at the Laboratory of the University of Missourri, Missourri, USA. Bulk density and air dry soil strength values of the soils from the cultivated areas were generally higher than those of the uncultivated areas. Also, soils at the summit generally had lower bulk density and soil strength values than the other landscape positions. Moreover, soils planted to camote (Ipomoea batatas) had higher bulk density and soil strength values compared to soils grown to pepper under the trees. Exchangeable calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and potassium (K) and cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soils were generally higher in uncultivated areas than those of the cultivated areas. A similar trend was observed for the potassium permanganate ($KMnO_4$)-oxidizable organic C contents determined by spectroscopic method and the total C contents determined by the Walkley-Black method. The $KMnO_4$-oxidizable organic C contents determined by spectroscopic method and the total C contents determined by the Walkley-Black method were closely related ($r=0.631^{**}$). Hence, the former method shows promise in assessing soil quality as it is a rapid test, relatively low cost and can be distributed as a field kit either with a portable spectrometer or with a color chart.

This study extracted deforestation area and degraded forestland area, which are potential REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) project candidate areas in Paraguay using Land Cover Map (LCM) and Tree Cover Map (TCM). The REDD+ project objectives scenarios were set three stages: 'afforestation and economic efficiency scenario', 'local capacity reinforcement scenario', and 'Infrastructure-oriented scenario'. And then, we evaluated the project unit suitable area of the REDD+ project. All scenarios selected the evaluation factors for each scenario in addition to the area ratio factors for deforestation area and degraded forestland area and weighted values were extracted by assigning category scores. As a result of the three scenarios comparison analysis, Concepcion state score was the highest. Within Concepcion state, the Belon district had the highest score, making it appropriate as a project unit REDD+ project candidate area in Paraguay, while the San Carlos district had the lowest score. This study can be used as basic data for selecting REDD+ project candidate area in Paraguay, and it is expected to contribute sufficiently to REDD+ project if additional data or information of social, cultural and economic sectors are secured.

Fatigue life of catenary wires in various environments is reduced when stress is concentrated on some points, which are often found in corroded areas by surrounding pollutants. Therefore, the fatigue test were performed in order to investigate the effect of the surface corrosion on the destructive behavior in service environment and accelerated corrosion environment as well as th examine the corrosive property and mechanism of the catenary wires. In the fatigue test of the messenger stranded wire, the corrosion degraded materials showed 35~50% of fatigue life at a same stress amplitude compared to original material. Because the catenary wires have variable load by the interaction of periodic contacts with pantographs the maximum stresses of trolley wire and messenger wire calculated by simulation at the messenger wire during operation was estimated thought the corrosion behavior interpretation of variable stress and fatigue test.

The primary role of ZnO arresters is to protect transmission and distribution equipments against lightning surges. The extremely nonlinear V-I characteristics of the ZnO arrester obviates the need for isolation gaps and consequently it is continuously connected to line voltage. For this reason, ZnO arresters are degraded with time in actual power systems. In this work, the characteristics of the luminous events caused between the ZnO block and electrodes according to the electrode area were investigated. As a result, the luminous events were effected by electrode area and the longer electrode areas were increased, the more luminous events were decreased. Also the reduction of luminous events was fumed up to the degraded ZnO arrester block.
