The nutrient elements which are used in forest fertilization vary from country to country. The development of forest fertilization is influenced by different national interests and/or economic situtations. The fertilized area/year of each country is shown. As one can see, Korea will have one of the largest fertilized forest area in the world. Nevertheless, attention needs to be paid from the technical viewpoint, since the development has been very rapid. The fertilization techniques, kinds of nutrient element, amounts of dosage, types of fertilizers, estimation of their efficiency, leaf analysis, ecological or physiological aspects of forest fertilization, tree species, wood qualities, forest vegetation, damages such as deseases, insects, frost, wind and snow, are discussed in relation to forest fertilization. Finally, the problem of eutrophication of water is discussed. The technical assessment will become necessary in introducing new techniques into the field.

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key biophysical variable influencing land surface processes such as photosynthesis, transpiration and energy balance, and is a required input to estimate evapotranspiration in various ecological and hydrological models. The development of more correct and useful LAIs estimation techniques is required by these importance, but LAIs had been assumed in most LAI research through simple relations with the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) because the field measurement is difficult on wide area. This paper is to evaluate the MODIS LAI Product's practical use by comparing with LAIs that is derived from NOAA AVHRR NDVIs and the 2 years (2003-2004) measured LAIs of Korea Forest Research Institute in Gyeongancheon watershed (561.12 $Km^2$). As a result, the MODIS LAIs of deciduous forests showed higher values about 14 % and 15~30 % than the measured LAIs and NOAA LAIs. In the year of 2003, the MODIS LAIs in coniferous forests were 5 % higher than the measured LAIs, and showed about 7 % differences comparing with the NOAA LAIs except April. These differences come from the insufficient field data measured in partial points of the target area, and the extracted reference data from MODIS LAIs include the limits of spatial resolution and the error of incorrect land cover classification. Thus, using the MODIS data by the proper correction with the measured data can be useful as an input data for ecological and hydrological models which offers the vegetation information and simulates the water balance of a given watershed.

This study was conducted to predict number and fresh weight of leaves, and total leaf area of a single-stemmed rose 'Vital' based on the accumulated thermal units, and to develop a model of shoot development for the prediction of the time when the flowering shoot reaches a phenological stage in a plant factory system. The base temperature ($T_b$), optimum temperature ($T_{opt}$), and maximum temperature ($T_{max}$) were estimated by regressing the rate of shoot development against the temperature gradient. The rate of shoot development ($R$, $d^{-1}$) for the phase from cutting to bud break (CT-BB) was best described by a linear model $R_b$ ($d^{-1}$) = -0.0089 + $0.0016{\cdot}temp$. The rate of shoot development for the phase from bud break to harvest (BB-HV) was fitted to the parabolic model $R_h$ ($d^{-1}$) = $-0.0001{\cdot}temp^2$ + $0.0054{\cdot}temp$ - 0.0484. The $T_b$, $T_{opt}$, and $T_{max}$ values were 5.56, 27.0, and $42.7^{\circ}C$, respectively. The $T_b$ value was used in the thermal unit computations for the shoot development. Number of leaves, leaf area (LA), and leaf fresh weight showed sigmoidal curves regardless of the cut time. The shoot development and leaf area model was described as a sigmoidal function using thermal units. Leaf area was described as LA = 578.7 $[1+(thermal units/956.1)^{-8.54}]^{-1}$. Estimated and observed shoot length and leaf fresh weight showed a reasonably good fit with 1.060 ($R^2=0.976^{***}$) and 1.043 ($R^2=0.955^{***}$), respectively. The average thermal units required from cutting to transplant and from transplant to harvest stages were $426{\pm}42^{\circ}C{\cdot}d$ and $783{\pm}24^{\circ}C{\cdot}d$, respectively.

A Chinese cabbage is one of important vegetables which accounts for more than 60 percent of leaf vegetable. However, cultivation area and yield of Chinese cabbage are steadily decreasing recently. Because meteorological changes destabilize the balance of Chinese cabbage, we need to study on meteorological factors affecting estimation of Chinese cabbage yield. So we conducted a panel analysis using mean temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, precipitation and sunshine's duration from August to November for estimation of Chinese cabbage yield. As the results, we found that if the mean temperature of September increase by $1^{\circ}C$ the amount of production of Chinese cabbage per unit area was increased by 348.6 kg/10a. We also found that the mean temperature of October increased by 174.8 kg/10a, that of November 148 kg/10a, the difference between the maxium temperature and the minimum temperature of October equals 443.3 kg/10a. However, we found that the difference between the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature of November decreased 274.1 kg/10a.

For biomass estimation of Phyllostachys pubescens stands by optimal survey method we established 9 bamboo sample plots in the research forests of KFRI (Korea Forest Research Institute). The dry weight of culm segment determined by relative heights of total bamboo height show us two groups of 1st to 5th culm segment (up to 0~55% culm of tree height from the bottom area) and 6th to 8th culm segment (55~100%) by the results of cluster analysis for dry weight ratio. This results show that upper and lower part of 55~70% reference height from the bottom area against total culm height can be used in obtaining 1 kg of a sample bamboo, respectively, rather than 2.0 m stem segments of other forest tree species. In above-ground biomass estimation by $W=aD+bD^2$ having the highest coefficient of determination in this study, above ground stand biomass was 57.77 ton/ha (culm 40.47 ton/ha, branch 9.29 ton/ha, and leaf 8.01 ton/ha) of which 70% was contributed by culm component followed by branch (16%) and leaf (14%). Below-ground biomass was 53.35 ton/ha in total.

The biomass of Pinus densiflora stands burnt out by the 2005 Yangyang forest fire was estimated based on the grades of fire severity; light, moderate and heavy. In order to measure the post-fire ground biomass in kg/ha, the ground fuels including shrub layer were collected and weighted and the crown biomass was estimated using allometric regressions and leaf area index for dry weight of P. densiflora. The pre-fire biomass was assumed to be equal to that of non-damaged P. densiflora stands having the same characteristics. The results indicated that the forest fire burnt out fuels of stands; 3,693 kg/ha in the light-damaged, 8,724 kg/ha in the moderately-damaged, and 17,451 kg/ha in the heavily-damaged forest stands.

작물의 엽면적 등 다양한 생육정보를 간편하고 비파괴적으로 추정할 수 있다면 작물의 생리 생태학적 모델에의 적용을 통하여 다양한 작물 연구에 중요한 공헌을 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 오이 개개 잎의 형태정보를 이용하여 오이의 개개 엽면적, 생체중 및 건물중 예측하는 것을 목적으로 하였고, 이를 위하여 엽면적은 5가지 모델을 사용하였고, 생체중 및 건물중은 6가지의 모델을 사용하여 분석하였다. 또한 신경회로망은 3 layer의 back propagation method를 사용하여 분석하였다. 각 모델들은 독립변수로는 Robinson ＆ Pharr이 사용한 개개 잎의 폭 및 길이를 사용하였다. 회귀모델에 의한 추정 결과, 모델의 정확성 및 정밀성은 엽면적 > 생체중 > 건물중 순 이었지만, 특히 건물중의 경우는 상대적으로 낮은 상관관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 회귀모델을 사용하여 건물중 추정하는 것에는 한계가 있는 것으로 생각되며, 신경회로망도 이와 유사한 관계를 나타냈지만 다양한 변수 수정을 통하여 상관계수를 증가시킬 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 가용 Landsat TM 위성자료를 이용하여 금호강유역의 수문변수를 산정하였다. 대상 유역인 금호강유역은 대구시를 포함한 하천유역으로 도시화로 인한 유역 환경변화가 매우 심한 지역이다. 대상유역의 수문변수의 변화가 유역 생태 및 수문순환구조에 미치는 영향이 크므로 위성자료를 활용한 광역에 대한 수문변수 산정과 시공간변화 특성의 자연적요인은 물론 인위적인 요인을 분석하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 가용한 Landsat자료는 30-120m의 뛰어난 공간분해능과 다양한 관측 밴드를 가지고 있어, 수문변수 산정 및 유역 환경변화를 파악하기에 적합한 자료이다. 본 연구에서는 1985, 1998, 1999년, 2001년 Landsat TM자료를 이용하여 대상지역에 대한 기하학적 보정 등 전처리과정을 거쳐 정규화 식생지수(NDVI; Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)와 이와 연계한 엽면적지수(LAI; Leaf Area Index)를 산정하였으며 토지피복변화를 분석하였다. Landsat자료를 이용한 광역의 토지피복변화와 수문변수변화 분석을 통하여, 위성관측기법 이용한 유역 수문변수 변화특성 도출 가능성을 제시하였다.

The regression line was used to predict ginseng root yield from characters of aerial parts, stem diameter, leaf length and width, and degrees of missing plants per unit area. The rates of fitness of predicted yield on practical yield investigated in field were high. Especially, theoretical yield calculated by the size of stem diameter was a good fit. Therefore, a line regression appeared to be a satisfactory fit.

이 논문에서는 합성된 애기장대 데이터셋을 활용하여 딸기의 엽면적을 추정할 수 있는 딥러닝 모델을 제안한다. 제안된 모델에서는 개별 잎 검출을 위하여 합성 데이터셋으로 학습된 Mask R-CNN 의 객체 검출 모델을 사용하였고, 이어 이미지 후처리 작업에 해당되는 모폴로지 연산의 침식 및 팽창, 픽셀 카운터를 통해 엽면적을 추정하였다. 각기 다른 역할을 수행하는 신경망 계층에 어텐션 메커니즘 적용하여 검출 성능의 향상과 검출 시간을 단축하였다. 제안된 모델은 딸기 데이터셋을 사용하지 않는 합성된 데이터셋만으로도 실제 온실에서 획득한 다양한 이미지에서의 딸기 엽면적을 추정하는 데에 우수한 성능을 보여준다.
