Quantification of Carbon stock has become in the contest of changing climate and mitigation potential of forests. Two different forest types, Dry Shiwalik Sal Forest and Moist Shiwalik Sal Forest in Barkot and Lachchiwala of Doon Valley, Western Himalaya are selected for the study. Volume equations, destructive sampling and laboratory analysis are done to estimate the carbon stock in different carbon pools like trees, shrubs, herbs and soils. Considerable variations are observed in terms of carbon stocks in different forest types. In Dry Shiwalik Sal Forest, carbon stock density varied between 129.81 and $136.00MgCha^{-1}$ while in Moist Shiwalik Sal Forest, carbon stock density ranged from 222.29 to $271.67MgCha^{-1}$. Tree species like Shorea robusta, Syzigium cumini, Miliusa velutina, Acacia catechu, and Mallotus philippensis had significant role in carbon sequestration. Shorea robusta had contributed highest in carbon stock due to highest density. Total of 2,338,280.165 Mg carbon stock was estimated in all the forest types.

Most of the islands of Korea are distributed in the South and West Sea, and it consists of independent small stream. As a result, the fish community that inhabits the island's stream is isolated from the mainland and other island. This study utilized a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and a random forest model to analyze the relationship between environmental variables and fish communities inhabiting islands in South Korea. Through the SOM analysis, the fish communities were divided into three clusters, and there were differences in biotic and abiotic factors between these groups. Cluster I consisted of sites with relatively larger island areas and a higher number of species and population. It was found that 15 out of 16 indicator species were included. Meanwhile, the remaining clusters had fewer species and populations. Cluster II, especially, showed the lowest impact from physical variables such as water width and depth. As a result of predicting the species richness using the random forest model, physical variables in habitats, such as stream width and water depth, had a relatively higher importance on species richness. On the other hand, forest area was the most important variables for predicting Shannon diversity, followed by maximum water depth, and gravel. The results suggest that this study can be used as basic data for establishing a stream ecosystem management strategy in terms of conservation and protection of biological resources in streams of islands.

참나무시들음병 발생지역의 임분구조 특성 파악을 통한 피해해석을 목적으로, 전라남도와 제주도를 제외한 전국 7개도 18개 참나무시들음병 발생지역을 대상으로 식생조사를 실시하였고(Group A), 아울러 참나무시들음병의 매개충인 광릉긴나무좀(Platypus koryoensis)에 의한 피해 모니터링을 목적으로 설치된 경기도와 강원도 내 5개 고정조사지에도 식생조사를 실시하였다(Group B). 그 결과 전국 18개 지역(Group A) 가운데 17개 지역에서 참나무속(Quercus spp.) 수종들의 우점도가 가장 높게 나타났으며, 참나무시들음병 피해 모니터링을 목적으로 설치한 5개 고정조사지(Group B)에서는 참나무시들음병 피해 정도를 나타내는 지표 가운데 하나인 천공률(Relative Density of Entrance Holes)과 조사지 내 참나무속 수종들의 상대밀도 간에 통계적으로 매우 유의한 상관관계($R^2=0.89$, p<0.05)가 인정되어, 임분구조상 참나무속 수종의 우점도는 참나무 시들음병의 발생과 관련성이 높은 것으로 판단되었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of eco-friendly restoration in forested bog on the structure of benthic macroinvertebrate community. The benthic macroinvertebrates collected from the surveyed sites were composed of 1,071 individuals, 60 species, 40 families, 13 orders, 6 classes and 5 phyla. At the control and Site 3(small dam), the number of species and individuals were larger than that of other sites, and EPT group ratio was same as well. Considered by index, the dominance index (DI) was found the highest at the biotope area. The diversity index (H') and richness index (RI) were the highest at the control and Site 3. In addition, the ecological score of benthic macroinvertebrate (ESB) showed the highest at site 3, while the lowest at biotope area. The stability and recovery of benthic macrointebrates showed different according to restoration types at forested bog. After restoration project, the benthic macroinvertebrates were observed to get recovery at Site 3, and to have the highest communities stability at control and Site 3. At biotope areas (Site 4, Site 5 and Site 6) communities stability were the lowest, but showed different community stability values according to the presence of water. It is confirmed that the eco-friendly restoration projects indeed provided the better environment for the inhabitation of benthic macroinvertebrate community. The change of community index depending on the restoration projects suggests that the eco-friendly restoration can provide a more suitable environment for benthic macroinvertebrate ecosystem that prefers the stream environment.

최근 부각되고 있는 도시지역의 환경문제 해결을 위해서는 다각적인 접근방법이 요구되는데, 도시지역에 산재해 있는 도시숲의 효율적 조성 및 관리는 그 방법 중 하나가 될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도시숲의 경관생태학적 관리를 위한 평가지표를 설정하고, 대전광역시와 울산광역시 시가지에 분포하는 도시녹지를 대상으로 생물서식공간으로서의 비오톱 유형을 구분하였으며, 그 기능적 특성에 기초한 등급과 식생경관의 구성적 특성을 평가하였다. 평가지표 및 방법은 국내의 연구사례가 드물어 유럽에서 사용되고 있는 지표를 국내 실정에 맞게 수정 보완하였으며, 최종 결과는 합산평가 매트릭스법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 비오톱 유형은 기존 문헌의 조사결과와는 달리 면적이 다양성에 미치는 영향은 적은 것으로 분석되었으며, 중점 비오톱 등급은 공원의 면적 차이와 성립위치 및 인위적 간섭정도의 차이로 인해 남선공원과 함월산은 3등급, 보문산과 염포산은 4등급으로 나타났다. 생물서식공간으로서의 비오톱 기능평가 등급을 분석한 결과, 지역에 관계없이 3~5등급 즉 보통 이하로 나타나, 서식공간의 제공이라는 기능적 역할은 상대적으로 낮게 나타난 것으로 분석되었다.

The characterization of tree species and forest stand conditions is useful in the planning of activities aimed to conserve biodiversity. The main objective of this study was to describe tree species diversity, species composition and stand structure of tropical deciduous forests distributed in three regions in Myanmar. Forest inventory was conducted in the Oktwin teak bearing forest, the Letpanpin community forest and Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park. According to the Jackknife estimator of species richness, 85 species (${\pm}18.16$), 70 species (${\pm}5.88$) and 186 species (${\pm}17.10$) belonging to 31 families were found in the Oktwin teak bearing forest, 33 families in Letpanpin community forest and 53 families in Alaungdaw Kathapa national park, respectively. Shannon's diversity indices were significantly different among the forests (p<0.05). It ranged from 3.36 to 4.36. Mean tree density (n/ha) of the Oktwin teak bearing forest, Letpanpin community forest and Alaungdaw Kathapa National Park were 488 (${\pm}18.6$), 535 (${\pm}15.6$) and 412 (${\pm}14.1$), while basal areas per hectare were $46.96m^2({\pm}3.23),\;49.01m^2({\pm}5.08)\;and\;60.03m^2({\pm}3.88)$, respectively. At the family level, Verbenaceae, Myrtaceae and Combretaceae occupied the highest importance value index, while at the species level it was Tectona grandis, Lagerstoremia speciosa and Xylia xylocarpa.

The forest vegetation established on Mt. Hwangryung located in Pusan, southern Korea was analyzed through phytosociological procedure. Vegetation of the study area was categorized into 14 communities, 16 groups, and 13 subgroups. Vegetation units obtained from such an analysis were shown in a detailed vegetation map (scale 1:5,000). Ecological characteristics of each vegetation unit were discussed on the basis of the principle of restoration ecology. From those results, it was confirmed that some introduced vegetation under excessive artificial interference was in unstable state and then ecological restoration was needed. On the other hand, ecological information and management systems to maintain the urban forest as ecologically healthy state were developed using GIS.
