  • Suitable climate condition is essential for stable growth of crops which directly leads to an increase in crop production. Preceding domestic researches mostly used crop models to predict grain or crop yield in relation to climate change. However, the use of various models and input data based on foreign background lowered the reliability for result. Therefore in this study, we evaluated domestic applicability by comparing and analyzing various crop models developed abroad. In addition, we selected models based on the possibility of acquiring input data and suggested domestic applicability.

  • Greenhouse gases (GHGs) from agricultural sector were categorized in a guideline book from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as methane from rice paddy fields and nitrous oxide from agricultural soils. In general, GHG emissions were calculated by multiplying the activity data by emission factor. Tier 1 methodology uses IPCC default factors and Tier 2 uses country specific emission factors (CS). The CS and Scaling factors (SF) had been developed by NAAS (National Academy of Agricultural Science) projects from 2009 to 2012 to estimate how the advanced emissions. The purpose of this study was to compare GHG emissions calculated from IPCC default factors and NAAS CS and SF of agricultural sector in Korea. Methane emissions using CS and SF in rice paddy field was about 79% higher than those using IPCC default factors. In the agricultural soils, nitrous oxide emissions using CS from the 5 crops were about 40% lower than those using IPCC default. Except those 5 crops, approximately up to 52% lower emissions were calculated using CS compared to those using IPCC default factors. The total GHG emissions using CS and SF were about 33% higher than those using Tier 1 method by IPCC default factors.

  • This study examined the impact of change of land-use and meteorological condition due to urbanization on heat environment in Seoul metropolitan area over a decade (2000 and 2009) using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Urban Canopy Model (UCM). The numerical simulations consist of three sets: meteorological conditions of (1) October 2000 with land-use data in 2000 (base simulation), (2) October 2009 with land-use data in 2000 (meteorological condition change effect) and (3) October 2009 with land-use data in 2009 (both the effects of land-use and meteorological condition change). According to the experiment results, the change of land-use and meteorological condition by urbanization over a decade showed different contribution to the change of heat environment in Seoul metropolitan area. There was about $1^{\circ}C$ increase in near-surface (2 m) temperature over all of the analyzed stations due to meteorological condition change. In stations where the land-use type changed into urban, large temperature increase at nighttime was observed by combined effects of meteorological condition and land-use changes (maximum $4.23^{\circ}C$). Urban heat island (UHI) over $3^{\circ}C$ (temperature difference between Seoul and Okcheon) increased 5.24% due to the meteorological condition change and 26.61% due to the land-use change. That is, land-use change turned out to be contributing to the strengthening of UHI more than the meteorological condition change. Moreover, the land-use change plays a major role in the increase of sensible heat flux and decrease of latent heat flux.

  • It is very useful and important to see the status and change of necessary parts in a short period through selecting and observing the bioindicator continually to forecast and prepare the future. Especially, living things are so closely related to the environment that the indicator between the environment and living things shows close interrelationship. Also, the indicator related to environment provides information about representative or decisive environmental phenomenon and is used to simplify complicated facts. Considering wide range of background and application including various indicators such as the change-, destruction-, pollution-, and restoration of habitats, climate change, and species diversity, the closest category includes "environmental indicator," "ecological indicator," and "biodiversity indicator." The selection and use of bioindicator is complicated and difficult. The necessary conditions for the indicator selection are flexible and greatly depend on the goals of investigation such as the indicator for biological diversity investigation of specific area, the indicator for habitat destruction, the indicator for climate change, and the indicator for polluted area. It should meet many various conditions to select a good indicator. In this study, eleven selection standards are established based on domestic and overseas studies on bioindicator selection: species with clear classification and ecology, species distributed in geographically widespread area, species that show clear habitat characteristics, species that can provide early warning for a change, species that are easy and economically benefited for the investigation, species that have many independent individual groups and that is not greatly affected by the size of individual groups, species that is thought to represent the response of other species, species that represent the ecology change caused by the pressure of human influence, species for which researches on climate change have been done, species that is easy to observe, appears for a long time and forms a group with many individuals, and species that are important socially, economically, and culturally.
