  • This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of habitat structure and bird communities between natural deciduous forest and around the road from October 2005 to August 2006 in the National Arboretum, Gwangneung, Korea. There were more larger trees and higher coverage of crown canopy in the natural deciduous forest than around the road. A total thirty seven species of birds were observed in the natural deciduous forest and twenty species were around road. The observed number of bird species and individuals, and bird species diversity index (H') were higher in the natural deciduous forest in each season. Foraging and nesting guild structures were also different. The differences of characteristics of bird communities would be related with habitat structure between both study areas.

  • This study aimed to identify the growth environment of Cudrania tricuspidata by analyzing the site environment, soil characteristics, and vegetation structure of the species habitats and to provide basic data for identifying suitable cultivation sites for mass production. The study was conducted on 17 sites in five cities/counties of Gyeongnam and Jeonnam province. It was found that C. tricuspidata habitats were mainly distributed on gentle slopes in the southeast and southwest, with an average altitude of approximately 290 m. The soil of the C. tricuspidata habitats was sandy loam with a high proportion of sand, averaging 73.9%, 4.6%, and 21.5% sand, silt, and clay, respectively. The soil had a pH value of 5.41 (5.20-5.79), organic matter content of 8.2% (3.6-12.6%), total nitrogen content of 0.36% (0.19-0.54%), available phosphorus content of 3.50 ppm (0.95-7.61 ppm), and cation exchange capacity of 15.9 cmol+/kg (10.0-20.7 cmol+/kg) on average. The vegetation structure analysis showed that C. tricuspidata appeared in the tree layers of regions A (Jinju) and E (Yeosu), but the importance of C. tricuspidata was found to be high in the subtree and shrub layers in all regions. The ecological niche breadth was widest (0.874) in region B (Hadong) and narrowest (0.480) in region E (Yeosu).

  • This study was carried out to classify forest vegetation structure of the subalpine zone in Mt. Seorak (Daecheongbong 1,708 m) from June to August in 2005 with phytosociological analysis of ZM school. Samples were collected by 81 of releves more than 1,200 m of altitude. There were 14 of physiognomy stands in the study area. The results were summarized as follows. Vegetation of the area was characterized by Abies nephrolepis community group, which was classified into Rhododendron schlippenbachii community and Lonicera coerulea var. emphyl-localyx community. The former was divided into Acer truncatum group and Pinus koraiensis group (subdivided into Acer tschonoskii var. rubripes subgroup and Tilia taquetii subgroup) and the latter was into Pinus pumila group and Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii group. It consisted of 5 units of vegetation structure.

  • The purposes of this study were to investigate vegetation structure and present management planning of mountain type green space using the green space changes during the 20 years, actual vegetation, and plant community structure in land area of Inchon, Korea. The actual vegetation area in survey sites was consisted of Quercus acutissima community, Robinia pseudoacacia forest, Pinus rigida forest, Q. mongolica-Pinus rigida community, P. rigida-Q. mongolica community, Q. monogolica community and so on. According to the classification by TWINSPAN, 61 survey plots were divided into 9 groups; Q. mongolica-Alnus japonica-R. pseudoacacia-P. densiflora, R. pseudoacacia-Styrax japonica, P. rigida-R. pseudoacacia-Q. mongolica, R. pseudoacacia-P. rigida-Q. mongolica-A. hirusta, Q. mongolica-P. thunbergii, and prunus sargentii-Zelkova serrata community. From this result, ecological succession trend of vegetation seems to be change from artificial result, ecological succession trend of vegetation seems to be change from artificial planting forest to native plant community which was dominated by Quercus spp.. This study area need to manage for the increase of biodiversity through the restoration of naturalness by ecological management of artificial planting forest and ecological planting of injured green space.

  • In this study, in order to investigate the influence of insolubilizer on the double coating structure, we carried out basic research related to the double coating formulation with four insolubilizers having various chemical types such as amino aldehyde, glyoxal and two metallic salts. It was found that although the four insolubilizers showed similar results on optical and surface properties of the coated papers, they gave different results in the printabilities of the coated papers since coating structure was significantly influenced by different reacting mechanism of the insolubilizers. Three of the insolubilizers (glyoxal, two metallic salts) showed better results than amino aldehyde type one when they were applied to top coating formulation. Metallic salts type insolubilizers showed good results in the print gloss when it was applied to top coating formulation. It was believed that amino aldehyde type insolubilizer applied top coating formulation showed good both of dry-pick and wet-pick strength.

  • For the structure determination of D-(+)-sucrose, which consists of ${\alpha}$-D-(+)-glucose and ${\beta}$-D-(+)-fructose, it was acetylated with acetic anhydride and triethyl amine, pyridine, zinc chloride, and sodium acetate as catalysts. The acetylated D-(+)-sucrose was acid-hydrolyzed using sulfuric acid and sodium chloride in methanolic solution. The structures of the reaction products were determined by $^1H$-NMR and $^{13}C$-NMR spectra. The yield of the acetylation indicated the high value in zinc chloride as 70% in zinc chloride catalyst. The acid-hydrolyzed product of the acetylated D-(+)-sucrose, 2,3,4,6,1',3',4',6'-octa-O-acetyl-D-(+)-sucrose, gave 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-(+)-glucose and it suggests that the acetylated D-(+)-sucrose was rearranged through the formation of oxonium ion by mutarotation in the 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-${\alpha}$-D-(+)-glucose moiety and through the ring opening in the 1',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-(+)-fructose moiety.

  • The purpose of this study is on identifying vegetation change through monitoring representative complementary village forests according to different management. For this, two of complementary village forests around Mai mountain which many ones remain were selected. Those are complementary village forests of Seochon and Wonyeonjang. Seochon forest is a representative one which is managed naturally and Wonyeonjang one is a representative one which is managed artificially. The field survey for monitoring was preformed in 2002 and 2007, 2016. D(Dominant degree) and S(Sociability degree) were measured by Brown-Blanquet's method in field survey. Through the analysis and review of survey data, the change of species richness, appearing species characteristics, species composition and layer structure etc. according to different management was monitored. As a result, it can be seen that natural succession has increased species diversity, improved vegetation structure and circulation of complementary village forest. On the other hand, excessive anthropomorphic management was found to be detrimental to the health of the forests and to the vegetation structure and species composition. And it was found that excessive management threaten sustainability and periodical proper management is necessary. Through this review, the useful management direction of complementary village forests was suggested.
