In this paper we have introduced some results of study on stand growth pattern and stand structure of larch forest which are located in selected forest sites of Khangai and Gobi-Altai mountain ranges of Mongolia. Our investigations showed that growth intensity and stand structure in western Mongolia are very specific from the other forest vegetation zones of Mongolia. Studies on the stand structure and growth trend indicate that tree types of stand structure and different types of growth of Larix sibrica are very common in Western Mongolia. These peculiarities of stand structure and growth of larch stands in Western Monolia could be used for inventory work and an improvement of the forest management in Western Mongolian region. The larch tree is the dominant tree species in Western Mogolia. Forest cover of the region is about 15%, which is two times higher than the country's average. In this region forest area is divided into 4 forest sub-regions: the Central Khangai, Western Khangai, North Eastern Khangai and South Easterun Khangai sub-regions including taiga, pseudo taiga, sub taiga, sub-alpine and forest steppe belts. Silviculture practices and forest research management request to study forest growth trends in local and general conditions, which means to indicate a change of taxonomic characteristics of stand from time to time including diameter, height, basal area, growth stock etc. The forest management practice mostly uses tables of forest growth and yield based on the results of long term research on forest growth. Forest yield tables and other relevant forest standards of Russia are used for the forest inventory and forest management. They are not able to determine forest structure and growth peculiatities of Mongolian forests. Studies on forest resource assessment in Mongolia indicate that after logging operations and forest fires the natural regeneration of desired species such as pine and larch often does not succeed. This situation forces to take a different approach of forest management and silviculture practice depending on the stand structure and growth rate of the forest stands. According to our investigation in last years, forest growth pattern of larch forest depends mostly on stand structure, stand age and growth condition including forest soil, climate and location in different slopes. Due to improve environmental function of forest ecosystem in the region, it is needed to conduct very comprehensive study of high mountain forest ecosystem in selected sub-regions.

Diameter distributions describe forest stand structure information. Prediction equations for percentiles of diameter distribution and parameter recovery procedures for the Weibull distribution function based on four percentile equations were applied to develop prediction system of even-aged slash pine stand structure development in terms of the number of stems per diameter class changes. Four percentiles of the cumulative diameter distribution were predicted as a function of stand characteristics. The predicted diameter distributions were tested against the observed diameter distributions using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov two sample test at the ${\alpha}$=0.05 level. Statistically, no significant differences were detected based on the data from 236 evaluation data sets. This stand level diameter distribution prediction system will be useful in slash pine stand structure modeling and in updating forest inventories for the long-term forest management planning.

본 연구에서는 임분구조의 다양성 또는 동질성을 계량화시키는 방법을 제시하였다. 우선 인접목과의 직경비율에 의해 임분구조를 파악할 수 있는 Gadow의 직경차이율을 소개하였고, 직경급별 본수비율과 단면적 또는 재적비율에 의해 형성되는 Lorenz곡선형태로 부터 임분구조의 다양성지수를 유도하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 Lorenz곡선원리에 의한 횡적 임분구조지수는 Gadow의 직경차이율과 마찬가지로 0에서 1사이의 값을 가지며, 임분구조가 다양할수록 1에 접근하는 특정을 지니고 있다. 이러한 Lorenz곡선원리에 의한 횡적 임분구조지수를 Gadow의 직경차이율과 비교한 결과, 본 연구에서 제시한 새로운 형적 임분구조지수는 Gadow의 직경차이율과 비슷하게 임분구조를 설명하는 것으로 나타났다.

Although there have been wide range of studies to characterize forest stands based upon spectral information of satellite image, it was not fully understood the texture information of forest stand using high resolution data. The objective of this study is to evaluate several texture measures for characterizing forest stand structure, such as species composition, diameter at breast height(DBH), stand density, and age. High resolution IKONOS satellite imagery data were acquired in August 200 lover the forested area near Ulsan, Korea. Primary forest types were plantation pine, mixed forest, and natural deciduous forest of stand age ranging from 10 to 50 years old. Several GLCM-based texture measures were compared with forest stand characteristics. In overall, a texture measure (contrast) calculated using red band were better to differentiate species and age group than other texture measures and near infrared bands.

This study was carried out to review the pattern of forest stand development for six Gangwondo Baekdudaegan Mountains which experienced different type and duration of intensive legal protection. Vegetation data from point sampling method were employed to classify community types by cluster analysis on the basis of the importance values of canopy tree species for the study areas. The names of classified communities were given by the composition of dominant tree species. The communities were also compared one another in terms of stand structure by species diversity index. The results indicated that National Parks (Seoraksan and Odaesan) had greater proportion of mixed mesophytic forest type which was supposed to progress further forest succession process so as to have more complex and diversified stand structure. On the other hand, ordinary forest areas (Seokbyeongsan and Deokhangsan) had greater proportion of the forest types which was dominatively composed of Quercus mongolica and Pinus densiflora. The forest types with large amount of these two species would tend to develop for relatively short period of time of 40-50 years after artificial disturbances. Hyangnobong of Natural Protection Area and Hambaeksan of Natural Ecosystem Conservation Area showed intermediate stand development pattern in between National Parks and ordinary forest areas. The period of intensive legal protection of the forest area was positively correlated with species diversity index (R=0.736), and noted that the forest which received intensive protection regulation for longer period tended to show more complex and diversified stand structure.

Returned laser pulse has certain relationship with vegetation canopy structure (canopy closure, height, LAI, biomass). This study attempts to analyze the characteristics of airborne laser scanner data over very dense forest canopy. Discrete pulse laser scanner data were obtained on April 25, 2004 along with digital aerial color imagery. Using forest stand maps, 14 sample stands of 7 species groups were selected and the elevations from the first and last laser return were compared. From the preliminary analysis, we found that the difference between the first and last return was higher with deciduous forest stand than in coniferous stand. Although difference between the first and the last laser returns often corresponds to tree height, it would not be the case for the forest site having very dense canopy structure.

Tree species diversity is an important aspect of forest ecosystem stability. Tree species inventories at defined sites and in minimum diameter classes give a reliable indicator of the diversity level as well as the structural stability level of a study site. This study was conducted to investigate the species composition and the stand structure of the natural forest, timber-harvested forest (logged-over forest) and degraded forest of the Oak-twin Township in the Bago Yoma Region of Myanmar. Natural forest showed the highest family and species richness in all the investigated forests. At the family level, Verbenaceae occupied the highest importance value index (IVI) in all the forest stands while teak (Tectona grandis Linn. f.) occupied the highest IVI at the species level. However, the small diameter classes of T. grandis and other commercial species were less than those of big diameter classes in all the investigated forests. This abnormal pattern of diameter distribution could be a problem for the sustainable production of commercial timber species in the near future.

본 연구는 강원도 평창지역의 천연 활엽수림을 대상으로 임분구조 조정에 의한 이단림 조성 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 이단림 시범지를 선정한 후 $30m{\times}30m$의 고정표본점을 3반복으로 설치하고 정밀 임분조사를 실시하였다. 임분조사 자료에 근거하여 이단림 시범지의 시업전 임분통계량과 임분구조를 추정하고, 이단작업의 특성에 맞는 시업방안에 따라 시업후의 임분통계량과 임분구조의 변화를 시뮬레이션 기법을 통해 예측하였다. 시업전의 임분 현황을 분석한 결과 목표임분형으로 유도하기 위해서는 임분구조의 조정이 필요한 것으로 확인되었다. 시뮬레이션 기법을 통해 예측한 시업후의 임분 현황을 보면 시업후에도 목표임분형을 달성하기 위해서는 상당한 시간이 필요한 것으로 평가되었다. 시업후 상층목의 임목본수는 ha당 170본으로 이단림의 기준에 부합되는 것으로 평가되었다. 하지만 하층의 임목본수는 이단림의 기준과 상당한 차이를 보이고 있는데, 교목치수의 진계를 통해 어느 정도 보완할 수 있을 것으로 판단되지만 수하식재를 고려할 필요가 있다. 시업후의 임분 현황을 고려하면 이단림 상층목의 목표 임목축적은 ha당 $150m^3$가 적합한 것으로 평가되었으며, 이를 달성하려면 20년 정도가 소요되는 것으로 예측되었다. 이단림 조성을 위해서는 앞으로 5년 간격의 임분조사를 통해 시간 경과에 따른 임분구조의 변화를 파악하고, 필요할 경우 이단림 유도를 위한 추가적인 조치가 요구된다.
