As a frontier of Sustainable Basin Research Initiative, we commenced a scenario-driven planning and evaluation research project which is to identify the strategic policy scenarios. As a part of the project, this study attempts to estimate the ecological impacts of land cover changes using landscape indices at the whole basin level. We analyzed spatio-temporal characteristics of natural area including forest, agricultural land, water area, barren which play an important role in nature-friendly sustainable watershed management. The results of analysis shelved that the size and diversity of natural area have been reduced, while patch number and isolation have been increased in proportion to urbanization in 1974, 1995 and four future scenarios in the Ara River Basin. Also, we estimated that the natural area could be conserved to some degree in the SD or DE scenarios with a concept of environment-friendly development and lifestyle. Various strategic environment policies may be evaluated and designed on the basis of the method, that is, scenario approach and landscape ecological analysis suggested in this study.

Urbanization and industrialization associated with rapid economic development have resulted in air pollution in urban areas, which adversely affects human health and the environment around the world. Growing awareness of the health effects of airborne particulate matter (PM) has led to the emergence of urban greening as a promising eco-friendly, nature-based solution to reduce the concentration of PM (especially PM_2.5) to which individuals are exposed, thereby promoting public health. In this review, we highlight fundamental insights about PM and recent research on the ability of urban greening to capture PM. Reports from the scientific literature on PM published from 1992 to 2021 were retrieved from Google Scholar. Here, we explore some of the main complex relationships between leaf traits and the ability to retain PM for research or management to optimize greenspaces.

Saemangeum reclaimed area is needed to construct much green zone to make high-quality multi-functional land such as tide embankment, lake dike, industrial complex, environmental spaces, etc. However, growth of plants is somewhat difficult because a salinity of Saemangeum soil is very high and a soil fertility, water content of soil are low. Therefore, it is essential to initial desalination of soil and continuous management for planting base. It is recommended that a group of grassland to raise the efficiency of covering should be made in the first stage and a forest by improvement of vegetation should be made in the mid and long term stage. It is recommended that the construction of vegetation base should be made with a regular thickness of soil of good quality in multi-functional area such as a shrub and wood. In case of construction of a windbreak forest, it is necessary to make a wood base of suitable depth using soil brought from another place or filling of soil. Also, it is necessary to keep a maintenance of woods in early stage. Saemangeum reclaimed land will be brand-named worldwide tourist attractions due to construction of much green zone having high quality multi-functional facilities.

While a concept on biotop or the urgency of its classification systems have been under discussion recently, this study aims to examine outdoor biotop classification systems for environment-friendly community. To this end, the feasibility of creating a biotop in the community and application elements were generated and biotops were classified and categorized. Then, elements that can be applied in consideration of traditional Korean techniques were generated and biotop classification systems and specific components in residential areas were reviewed. As for the result of this study, based on a preliminary draft prepared through literature review, considerations for biotop classification systems were taken into account. Then, based on classification criteria for biotop formats, biotop functions and biotop types, a second-tier classification system was developed. Criteria for biotop formats included surfaces, lines and points while criteria for biotop functions were large cores, small bases, corridors, stepping stones and ecological islands. Criteria for habitat types were divided to include natural forest, developed green areas, lacustrine wetland, palustrine wetland, shrubs, grasslands, linear habitats, vacant plots and practical green areas, which were sub-categorized. As for the biotop classification system, macro-classification divided biotops into three types-space, line and point-based on biotop formats. Meso-classification had five groups and micro-classification had 21 groups based on habitat types. Future studies should focus on the ecological features of each biotop categories generated in this study and their creation and management techniques to find many practical methods to create, protect and manage outdoor biotop for environment-friendly community.

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.

본 연구는 통영 수월숲의 인문학적 특성과 자연생태적 특성을 바탕으로 효율적인 보존 관리방안을 제안하기 위해 진행하였다. 김해김씨 서암파 문중 소유인 대상지는 약 1,000년 전 태풍에 대비하여 농작물을 보호하고자 조성한 숲으로 1960년까지 동신제를 지내는 등 양호하게 보호 관리되어 왔었다. 방풍림의 면적은 $12,392.69m^2$로 느티나무, 팽나무, 푸조나무 등 낙엽활엽수 노거수가 우점종이었으며 주변은 경작지(52.1%), 도시화지역(26.3%), 산림지역(16.6%)으로 둘러싸여 있었다. 우점종 및 이용압을 고려하여 군집을 분류한 결과, 이용압이 낮은 푸조나무군락(I), 굴피나무-소사나무-느티나무군락(II), 이용압이 높은 느티나무군락(III), 느티나무-푸조나무군락(IV), 이용에 의해 하층이 훼손된 느티나무군락(V)으로 구분되었다. 방풍림의 보존상태는 양호하나 과거 잘못된 마을숲 복원 사업, 내부를 관통하는 산책로, 교육장 설치 등으로 인해 훼손의 우려가 있었다. 따라서 수월숲 고유의 가치를 복원하기 위해서는 개발에 의한 숲 변화, 이용압에 의한 훼손, 관리부재로 인한 쇠퇴현상을 개선해야 할 것이다. 이용압에 의한 훼손을 방지하기 위해서는 과도한 휴게시설 철거와 정적이고 소극적인 이용을 유도해야 하고, 개발에 의한 숲 변화를 막기 위해서는 우회로를 설정한 후 관통도로를 폐쇄하는 것이, 관리부재로 인한 쇠퇴현상 개선을 위해서는 현명한 이용을 전제로 차대목 육성과 하층식생 복원이 필요하였다. 차대목은 숲내 우점종인 느티나무, 팽나무, 푸조나무, 이팝나무 등을 모수로 실생묘를 육성 도입하여 식생 및 원형경관을 회복해야 할 것이다. 하층식생 훼손지역 복원을 위해 훼손지와 양호한 식생군락을 비교한 결과 아교목층은 10.8개체, 관목층은 79.7개체 차이가 나므로 부족분을 보완식재해야 할 것이다.
