  • Objectives: A great number of people visit forests for their bountiful healing factors. We investigated the quantity of terpene and analyzed the correlations with meteorological and environmental factors at Mt. Mudeung in order to support public health. Methods: The terpene amounts were investigated along 11 main trails using stainless steel tube packed by Tenax TA (150 mg) and Carbopack B (130 mg) during March to November 2012. Terpene amounts of 20 species (${\alpha}$-pinene, camphene, etc.), and meteorological and environmental factors were investigated in the field. Results: Terpene of 16 species was released from the forest and total terpene amounts were 2,080 pptv at the site of Chamaecyparis obtusa, the highest among 11 sites, nearby the first reservoir on Mt. Mudeung. Terpene concentrations in the forest were nine to 23 times higher than found in urban areas. Total terpene amounts had positive correlations with temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and oxygen (p<0.01) with $R^2$ of 0.345, 0.369, 0.591, 0.145, respectively, from April to July. Wind speed and solar radiation in the forest had a negative correlation with terpene amounts and showed statistical insignificance with p-values of 0.118 and 0.233, respectively. Conclusions: This study suggests that the amounts of terpene around Mt. Mudeung are indeed higher, so visitors may enjoy a therapeutic walk in the forest with a healing effect. These results showed the forest was very effective for improving human health.

  • Climate is one of most important environmental factors on the forest ecosystem. This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of meteorological factors in the forest area and weather stations from July 2015 to June 2016 in Cheuncheon and Hongcheon of Kangwon Province in Korea. The HOBO data logger was installed for meteorological analysis in forests area (site 1 and site 2). The meteorological data from the HOBO data logger compared with meteorological data of the weather station. The meteorological data used for the analysis was monthly mean temperature ($^{\circ}C$), monthly mean minimum temperature ($^{\circ}C$), monthly mean maximum average temperature ($^{\circ}C$), and monthly mean relative humidity (%). As a result of this study, the mean temperature ($^{\circ}C$) of forest area was relatively lower than weather station which is the outside the forest area, and the mean maximum temperature ($^{\circ}C$) of weather station was relatively higher than that of forest area. The mean relative humidity (%) was higher in forest area than weather station.

  • 목질 바이오매스 자원의 고도이용을 위한 연구의 일환으로 산불피해재와 정상재의 목질펠릿 특성을 조사하였다. 제조된 목질펠릿의 전건밀도는 소나무 정상재 및 피해재 각각 0.93~0.94, $0.86{\sim}0.88g/cm^3$로 나타났다. 각 시료의 압축강도는 $145{\sim}168kgf/cm^2$의 범위로서 소나무 정상재와 피해재 양자간에는 거의 차이가 없었다. 각 시료의 회분량은 소나무 정상재와 피해재가 각각 0.32~0.37%, 0.25~0.35%로 나타내었으며, 발열량은 18~19MJ/kg 범위로서 피해목과 톱밥 크기에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았다. 원소분석의 결과, 탄소 45.8~48.8% 범위이며, 수소와 산소의 경우 각각 6.2~6.5%와 46.5~48.0%로 나타났다. 결론적으로 산불피해재와 정상재간에 목질 펠릿의 특성의 차이는 거의 나타나지 않았다.

  • 풀베기작업은 양분, 수분, 광량의 경쟁을 유발시키는 조림목 주변의 잡초목을 제거하는 작업으로, 조림 수종의 활착 및 초기 생장에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 주요 조림 수종에 적합한 풀베기 시기와 방법을 알아보기 위하여 전국 국유림을 대상으로 조림수종별 풀베기 시기 및 횟수, 조림목의 수고와 잡초목의 길이를 분석하였다. 조림 후 5년 내의 조림지에서 풀베기사업의 99%가 이뤄지고 있었으며, 소나무, 낙엽송, 편백, 산벚나무, 자작나무 조림지가 풀베기 전체 대상지 중 70% 이상을 차지하였다. 연 1회 풀베기사업은 6월 하순부터 7월 하순까지 67% 실시되었고, 연 2회 풀베기는 6월과 8월이 31%로 가장 높았다. 일부 수종을 제외한 대부분의 수종이 조림 당년과 2년 후까지 잡초목에 비해 수고가 낮았지만, 조림 3년 후부터 잡초목의 길이보다 조림목의 수고가 평균 48% 더 높았다. 따라서, 대부분의 수종은 조림 3년 후부터 모두베기 방식의 풀베기보다는 조림목과 경쟁하는 목본류 위주의 제거작업을 통해 잡초목과의 경쟁을 감소시키고, 작업자의 작업량 또한 줄일 수 있다고 판단된다. 본 연구는 각 지역에 적합한 수종별 풀베기사업 일정과 방법을 반영한다면 효율적인 산림자원육성이 가능함을 제안하고 있다.

  • The Environmental Conservation Value Assessment Map (ECVAM) is a five grade assessment map created with nationally integrated environmental information and environmental values. The map is made through the evaluation of 67 items, including greenbelt area and bio-diversity. The ECVAM assesses the stability of the community using forest maps. However, the existing assessment method is problematic because the assessment grades are evaluated using higher than practical values; in part because it uses even-valued overlay and minimal indicator methods. This study was performed in order to suggest an integrated assessment method that could complement the stability evaluation based on existing methods. Accordingly, this study added forest type information, including whether the forest was natural or artificial, to the overlay method using forest diameter maps and forest density maps. As a result, the proposed ECVAM indicated a drastic grade change. After applying the method in South Korea, Grade I areas decreased 12.1%, from 52.6% to 40.6%, Grade II areas increased 11.9%, from 17.4% to 29.2%, and Grade III areas increased 0.2%, from 17.1% to 17.4%, respectively. From the results of the field survey, we found differences between natural forest and planted forest with regard to the number of mortality, species of shrubs, and vine cover. This means that natural forests are more stable than planted forests. This study suggests an improved assessment methodology to complement the existing EVCAM method. The results are expected to be used in environmental evaluations and forest conservation value assessments in ecology and environmental fields.

  • 본 연구에서는 재배 환경에 따른 산수유나무의 지표성분인 loganin 및 morroniside을 함량 분석을 통한 상관관계 구명하고자 하였다. Loganin 및 morroniside 함량은 UPLC에 의해 동시 분석되었다. 토양 데이터의 Mg2+ 함량과 pH가 loganin 함량에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 Mg2+, Na+ 함량, pH, 염도, silt 비율, 점토 비율이 morroniside 함량에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 Mg2+ 함량, pH, 점토비율은 산수유 지표성분인 morroniside 및 loganin 함량에 높은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 산수유나무의 최적의 재배환경요건에 대한 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Daphne pseudomezereum var. koreana is an endangered deciduous shrub distributed in mountain areas that is vulnerable to climate change. The purpose of this study was to provide foundational data on the physical characteristics, soil environment, and vegetation structure of habitats of Daphne pseudomezereum var. koreana habitat in Korea in order to help with management decisions on ecosystem restoration. Rock exposure was 15 to 35%, with an average of 24%. The native habitat of D. pseudomezereum included 129 taxa consisting of 46 families and 95 genera. Two-way cluster analysis divided the habitat into three plant communities: Community I (dominaterd by Tilia amurensis and Quercus mongolica), Community II (dominaterd by Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Acer pseudosieboldianum), and Community III (dominaterd by Ulmus davidiana var. japonica). The diversity indices for Communities I, II, and III were 1.124, 1.047 and 0.932, respectively. The soils were loam or clay loam. Soil pH, organic matter content, and available phosphoric acid were 5.40, 14.38%, and 31.08 ppm, respectively. Ordination analysis resulted that most significant factors influencing D. pseudomezereum distribution were magnesium content of soil, shrub layer, and altitude.

  • This study aims at classifying and analyzing the vegetation structure of Castanopsis sieboldii forest, one of the evergreen broad-leaved forests found under the warm-temperate climate of Korea. It is also compared with the ones of the Castanopsis sieboldii forest in Japan where most similar such forest of Korea, to find unique vegetation structures of the only Korean forest. Vegetation structure of Korean Castanopsis sieboldii forest was divided into two units at the level of community units both of Ardisia japonica-Castanopsis sieboldii community and Ardisio-Castanopsietum sieboldii association. The association carries similar type with the vegetation system of Japan, but any subunits differentiated with the Japan were found vary much. Hierarchical cluster analysis brings in similar result with the analysis on the vegetation structure as well.
