This study designed a model of the efficient production schemes and raw materials transportation optimization of current South Korean's simple and monolithic distribution system of wood to build a SCM (supply chain management) as a basic level to establish a distribution of future by pellet production of raw materials costs and reduce transport costs, and specifically to forest of pallet to contribute to revitalizing the market. The result of each transportation costs after building the best transportation network from raw material supply area to demand area applying transport law was 964,600 thousands Won from 6 supply areas to 7 demand areas. And the result of each model's analysis to get the pellet's efficient production through production cost reduction showed that it reduced from 325,701 Won/t to 240,106 Won/t, results of existing efficient pellet for the production model 8,233 tons over 20,000 tons annual production capacity from the size of the expanded production capacity when the expansion. However, when the production size expanded to 50,000 Tons of the production, the effect was very small even though production cost decreased.

This study was carried out in order to produce useful material for the forest multiple use and forest protection by physico-chemical soil analysis of studied area in Sokwang-ri Forest Genetic Resource Protection Forest which was divided into in standard plots include Tricholoma matsutake and Sarcodon aspratus production forest. The result of physico-chemical soil analysis represented as following. The soil type of T. matsutake production forest was Dry brown forest soil(B1), while on the other hand the soil type of S. aspratus production forest was Moderately moist brown forest soil(B3). Between T. matsutake and S. aspratus production forest did not result in significant changes in soil pH(5.22-5.60) and soil depth(47cm), but available phosphorus, carbon, and nitrogen contents were different results. CN ratio of the fairy ring of T. matsutake was quite lower than that in S. aspratus production forests, which indicated that T. matsutake production forest was built up in the relatively immature soils which contain little organic matter. Generally, it was predicted that Pinus densiflora for. erecta forest succeeded to deciduous tree forest in stable soil environments. To conserve these T. matsutake and S. aspratus production forest, the contents of available phosphorous and exchangeable cation should be increased by continuous soil environment management and it should be established the secondary growth forests of old aged Pinus densiflora for. erecta trees as soon as possible.

본 연구는 국내 일본잎갈나무림에서 법적·물리적·환경적·기술적 제약조건을 적용하여 실제 목재생산이 가능한 면적을 산출하고, 이를 대상으로 향후 50년간의 자원량과 목재생산 잠재량을 최적화하였다. 연구결과 전체 일본잎갈나무 면적(259천ha) 가운데 목재생산이 가능한 면적은 124천ha(48%)로 분석되었다. 향후 일본잎갈나무림에 대한 자원조성 및 관리 노력이 뒷받침되지 않을 경우, 안정적 목재생산을 담보하기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 일본잎갈나무림의 목재생산 잠재량을 확대하기 위해 본 연구에서는 임도를 매년 705 km씩 신설하여 목재생산 가능지역을 확대하는 대안 1과 임도를 매년 1,000 km씩 신설하는 대안 2를 적용하였다. 분석 결과, 대안 1은 목재공급량이 현 수준을 유지하거나 5% 정도 증가할 경우 문제가 없으나, 10% 증가할 경우 임목축적이 정체되는 등 안정적인 목재공급에 한계가 나타났다. 반면 대안 2는 목재공급량이 10% 증가하여도 안정적 목재공급이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 국내 일본잎갈나무의 안정적인 목재공급 및 생산 잠재량 확충을 위해서는 임도 확대 및 재조림 노력이 뒤따라야 한다.

임도는 산림자원의 조성과 관리, 그리고 목재와 단기소득 임산물 생산 운반 등 산림경영을 위한 필수적인 기반시설이다. 최근에는 산림 병해충 방제, 산불예방 및 진화뿐만 아니라 산림휴양과 산림스포츠 등에도 적극 활용되고 있다. 임도를 건설하면 산림 내에서 경제적 기능이 활성화되어 생산 및 부가가치 유발은 물론 고용창출의 파급효과를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 임도를 건설함에 따라 경제 전반으로 발생하는 파급효과를 분석하는 것이다. 분석을 위해 산업 간의 상호연관관계를 수량적으로 분석하는 산업연관분석 방법을 적용하였다. 자료는 2014년 한국은행의 투입산출표를 사용하였다. 임도를 건설하면 임도 건설에 따른 경제적 효과도 발생하지만, 임도 건설 후 임산물 생산 증대로 인한 경제적 효과도 발생하게 된다. 따라서 두 가지 효과에 대한 경제적 파급효과를 분석할 것이다. 몇 가지 가정을 통해 임산물 재배의 경제적 효과인 임산물 생산액 예측치를 계산하고 경제적 파급효과를 분석하였다. 임도 건설부문은 농림수산토목 부문으로 정의하였고, 임산물 부문은 원목, 식용임산물, 기타임산물의 합으로 정의하였다. 임도건설과 임업임산물로 정의한 2개 부문을 제외하고 나머지 부문은 기존 한국은행 30개 통합대분류의 분류체계에 맞게 통합하여 총 32개 부문으로 분류하였다. 분석결과 임도건설에 대한 생산유발계수는 2.767로 분석되었고 임업임산물에 대한 생산유발계수는 1.565로 분석되었다. 이는 임도를 건설하면 임도건설에 따라 그 투자수요의 2.767배 만큼의 생산이 전체 산업에서 유발됨을 나타내고 임업임산물 생산 증대에 따라 전체 산업에서 임업임산물 생산액의 1.562배 만큼의 생산이 유발되는 것을 의미한다. 임도건설에 대한 부가가치유발계수는 0.977로 분석되었고 임업임산물에 대한 부가가치유발계수는 0.985로 분석되었다. 임도시설은 임업발전의 필수적인 기반시설로서 산림경영, 산림휴양, 산림스포츠, 마을연결 등의 기능과 함께 목재생산과 단기임산물 생산의 필수적인 요소이므로 지속적인 투자가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

In the forest ecosystems, litterfall is an important component of the nutrient cycle that regulates the accumulation of soil organic matter (SOM), the input and output of the nutrients, nutrient replenishment, biodiversity conservation, and other ecosystem functions. Therefore, a profound understanding of the major processes (litterfall production and its decomposition rate) in the cycle is vital for sustainable forest management (SFM). Despite these facts, there is still a limited knowledge in tropical forest ecosystems, and further researches are highly needed. This shortfall of research-based knowledge, especially in tropical forest ecosystems, may be a contributing factor to the lack of understanding of the role of plant litter in the forest ecosystem function for sustainable forest management, particularly in the tropical forest landscapes. Therefore, in this paper, I review the role of plant litter in tropical forest ecosystems with the aims of assessing the importance of plant litter in forest ecosystems for the biogeochemical cycle. Then, the major factors that affect the plant litter production and decomposition were identified, which could direct and contribute to future research. The small set of studies reviewed in this paper demonstrated the potential of plant litter to improve the biogeochemical cycle and nutrients in the forest ecosystems. However, further researches are needed particularly on the effect of species, forest structures, seasons, and climate factors on the plant litter production and decomposition in various types of forest ecosystems.

This study investigates to identify the impact factors of timber production cost on the relationship between production cost components and revenues generated by evaluating the entire timber supply chain. In this research, selected 13 logging zones as target areas and classified 14 forest production cost factors, six groups. Additionally, established 13 externalenvironmental factors with related stakeholders and forestry experts. And the BCR (Benefit Cost Ratio) method was then used to analyze the economics of each zone. Filled up a checklist and rated using 5 point scale for each target region, and extracted major cost factors for the production economy of the item. The analysis of major cost factors in the timber production revealed that wood grab equipment usage fee was the first ranked and forest trees purchase cost was ranked in the $2^{nd}$Also, the $3^{rd}$ranking was logging expenses, and transport cost, which accounted for 84% of the total cost, was ranked in the $4^{th}$. In addition, the rock land ratio, slope, timber payment (forest trees purchase cost), special timber, ratio of timber, DBH (Diameter at Breast Height), and mixed forest ratio were the factors that most affected the timber supply chain cost.

The carbon cycle came into the spotlight due to the climate change and forests are well-known for their capacity to store carbon amongst other terrestrial ecosystems. The annual organic carbon of litter production, forest floor litter layer, soil, aboveground and belowground part of plant, standing biomass, net primary production, uptake of organic carbon, soil respiration, etc. were measured in Mt. Worak in order to understand the production and carbon budget of Quercus serrata forest that are widely spread in the central and southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The total amount of organic carbon of Q. serrata forest during the study period (2010-2013) was 130.745 ton C ha^-1. The aboveground part of plant, belowground part of plant, forest floor litter layer, and organic carbon in soil was 50.041, 12.510, 4.075, and 64.119 ton C ha^-1, respectively. The total average of carbon fixation in plants from photosynthesis was 4.935 ton C ha^-1 yr^-1 and organic carbon released from soil respiration to microbial respiration was 3.972 ton C ha^-1 yr^-1. As a result, the net ecosystem production of Q. serrata forest estimated from carbon fixation and soil respiration was 0.963 ton C ha^-1 yr^-1. Therefore, it seems that Q. serrata forest can act as a sink that absorbs carbon from the atmosphere. The carbon uptake of Q. serrata forest was highest in stem of the plant and the research site had young forest which had many trees with small diameter at breast height (DBH). Consequentially, it seems that active matter production and vigorous carbon dioxide assimilation occurred in Q. serrata forest and these results have proven to be effective for Q. serrata forest to play a role as carbon storage and NEP.

This study was aimed to analyze the increased forestry incomes by combining timber production and wood processing, which is one of 6th industrialization types in Korean forestry. The selected household has been engaged in forestry for two generations and they produce timber and associated wood products in their own facility. The wood products include dimension lumber, interior wood material, cutting board, and cube chips, the household also utilize logging and sawmill residues as well as seed and seedlings as by-products. Incomes and expenses that have been incurred on individual processes of the sequential timber production and wood processing were surveyed, and we analyzed the economic outcomes of entire business. The results of this study indicate that the gross income of the household is 122.3 million Korean won and the net income is 93.6 million Korean won. The net income of the household is approximately 2.8 times higher than the average net income of whole households in the forestry of Korea in 2016, which is approximately 4.3 times higher than that of households that have been particularly engaged in timber production over the country. We found that the 6th industrialization by combining the two sequential processes creates approximately 3.2 times as much added value compared to the case relying on timber production only.

This study investigated on enzyme production in the digestive organs of the native termite (Reticulitermes speratus) in Milyang, Korea. Four types of major cellulases [EG (endo-1,4-${\beta}$-glucanase), BGL (${\beta}$-glucosidase), CBH (cellobiohydrolase) and BXL (${\beta}$-1,4-xylosidase)] were present in the digestive organs of the termite. The strong enzyme activity for BGL was found from the native termite, and also shown that the enzyme was distributed in the salivary gland, foregut, and hindgut. BXL, which breaks down hemicellulose near the amorphous region, was detected mainly from salivary gland, foregut, and midgut. However, CBH was distributed mainly in the hindgut. Meanwhile, EG which degrades cellulose, was found mainly in the hindgut and salivary glands. These facts indicate that celluases production patterns are differ from different sites compare to the same species found in Japan, suggesting that enzyme production in the digestive organs of termites is changed according to their habitats.
