  • Background: Though the biomass of floral vegetation in understory plant communities in a forested ecosystem only accounts for less than 1% of the total biomass of a forest, they contain most of the floral resources of a forest. The diversity of understory honey plants determines visitation rate of pollinators such as honey bee (Apis mellifera) as they provide rich food resources. Since the flower visitation and foraging activity of pollinators lead to the provision of pollination service, it also means the enhancement of plant-pollinator relationship. Therefore, an appropriate management scheme for understory vegetation is essential in order to conserve pollinator population that is decreasing due to habitat destruction and disease infection. This research examined the diversity of understory honey plant and studied how it is related to environmental variables such as (1) canopy density, (2) horizontal heterogeneity of canopy surface height, (3) slope gradient, and (4) distance from roads. Vegetation survey data of 39 plots of mixed forests in Chuncheon, Korea, were used, and possible management practices for understory vegetation were suggested. Results: This study found that 113 species among 141 species of honey plant of the forests were classified as understory vegetation. Also, the understory honey plant diversity is significantly positively correlated with distance from the nearest road and horizontal heterogeneity of canopy surface height and negatively correlated with canopy density. Conclusions: The diversity of understory honey plant vegetation is correlated to vegetation structure and human impact. In order to enhance the diversity of understory honey plant, management of density and height of canopy is necessary. This study suggests that improved diversity of canopy cover through thinning of overstory vegetation can increase the diversity of understory honey plant species.

  • 본 연구에서는 개엽된 지표 식물이 건조된 낙엽층에 비해 수분함유량이 상대적으로 많은 것에 착안하여 피복율이 증가하고 개엽량이 많아짐에 따라 산불위험성이 낮아진다는 가정을 세워 열방출량 실험분석과 함께 화염높이 등을 비교, 평가하였다. 그 결과, 초본류의 피복율 및 개엽량이 증가할수록 열방출량이 비례적으로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고 화염높이 또한 현저히 감소되는 결과를 나타내었다. 향후, 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 봄철 순기별, 지역별 산림 식물의 개엽량을 모니터링하여 산불위험도 및 산불확산예측에 반영해야 될 것으로 판단된다.

  • 햇볕이 잘 드는 양지 잔디밭이나 풀밭에 씀바귀들이 한창 피어나는 계절이다. 꽃이 노란 씀바귀나 좀씀바귀, 약간 흰색인 선씀바귀, 종종 그 중간색을 띠는 개체도 보인다. 잔디밭에 나는 것들은 잡초로 뽑아버리기 아까울 정도로 꽃이 아름답다. 이 중 좀씀바귀는 키가 작으면서 포복지로 잘 번식하며 꽃은 물론 잎 모양도 정연하여 적당한 공간에 관상 및 지피용으로 훌륭한 식물이다.

  • 본 연구에서는 잡곡 재배 시 가장 문제가 되는 잡초관리방법을 개선하고 피복작물과 잡곡의 작부체계를 개선 및 효율을 비교하기 위하여 피복작물인 헤어리베치와 호밀이 잡곡생육과 수량에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 1. 헤어리베치구에서 수수의 초장과 엽록소 함량, 엽록소 형광, 종실수량은 무처리구 보다 각각 46.4%, 88.7%, 7.9% 높았으며 수량 또한 105.1% 많았다. 조의 경우도 무처리구 보다 각각 45.6%, 50.9%, 37.8%로 초장, 엽록소 함량, 엽록소형광이 높았으며 종실수량도 134.9% 높은 결과를 보였다. 호밀처리구에서 수수의 초장과 엽록소 함량, 엽록소형광은 무처리구 보다 각각 7.1%, 10.8%, 10.8% 높았으나 수량은 25.8% 감소하였다. 조는 무처리구 보다 각각 28.9%, 17.2%, 1.3% 감소하였으며 수량 또한 119.1% 감소하였다. 헤어라베치구에서 잡곡에 대한 녹비 효과가 좋았다. 2. 잡곡 출수 전 헤어리베치와 호밀의 잡초 발생량은 무처리에 비해 감소하였고 건물중은 헤어리베지와 무처리 차이가 없었으나 호밀은 31.6% 감소하여 호밀에서 잡곡 출수 전 잡초억제 효과가 인정되었다. 그러나 출수 후에는 혜어리베치의 장초발생량은 159%, 건물중은 55.2% 증가하였으며 호밀에서는 각각 55.2%, 10.9%로 증가하였다. 따라서 출수 후 헤어리베치와 호밀의 잡초 억제효과는 미약하였다. 3. 발생한 주요 잡초종은 총 16종으로 일년생잡초 12종으로 가장 많은 비중을 차지하였다. 특히 8월~9월의 우점 잡초종으로는 헤어리베치는 바랭이와 돌피였으며, 호밀 처리 시 강아지풀, 바랭이, 돌피 등이 우점하였다.

  • This paper present a new optimization model to generate aggregate production planning by considering electric cost. The new Time Of Switching (TOS) electric type is introduced by switching over Time Of Day (TOD) and Time Of Use (TOU) electric types to minimize the electric cost. The fuzzy demand and Dynamic inventory tracking with multiple plant capacity are modeled to cover the uncertain demand of customer. The constraint for minimum hour limitation of plant running per one start up event is introduced to minimize plants idle time. Furthermore; the Optimal Weight Moving Average Factor for customer demand forecasting is introduced by monthly factors to reduce forecasting error. Application is illustrated for multiple cement mill plants. The mathematical model was formulated in spreadsheet format. Then the spreadsheet-solver technique was used as a tool to solve the model. A simulation running on part of the system in a test for six months shows the optimal solution could save 60% of the actual cost.

  • It may be fully known that Korea is the main producing country of pine tree form the pan-Asian viewpoint of the geographical distribution of the pine tree. Through the study on the reason why the pine tree became a tree of the maximum cover degree in Korea and the observation of natural preservation status of all sorts of trees in the DMZ area for nearly 20 years after the Korean Armistice, it has come to know that almost all of the pine tree were banished. This phenomenon has been resulted by the ecological characteristics of the pine tree itself which has no sprouting power at all, war disasters, deforestation and incendiary fire that have been steadily occurred until now since the time of Armistice.

  • The objective of this study was to use 'Danta PR', NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology for genome resequencing to develop polymorphic makers between Chinese oriental melon, 'Hyangseo 1' and Korean oriental melon. From the resequencing data that covered about 81 times of the genome size, 104,357 of SSR motifs and Indel, and 1,092,436 of SNPs were identified. 299 SSR and 307 Indel markers were chosen to cover each chromosome with 25 markers. These markers were subsequently used to identify genotypes of 'Danta PR' BC1 (F1 x 'Danta PR') population and a genetic linkage map was constructed. SSR, Indel, and SNPs identified in this study would be useful as a breeding tool to develop new oriental melon varieties.

  • The power plant is well known to influence air pollution as well as emission of green house gas. Because of increasing demand on electricity, the government set up the electric support action plan every 2 years. In this research, the impacts of power plants on the environment and region was studied. The study was focused on the establishment of power plant in Incheon area based on the 3rd electric support action plan. According to the 3rd electric support action plan, almost 80% of power plant in metropolitan area is planned to be built in Incheon area. The main influences of establishment of power plant are emissions of $SO_x$, $NO_x$ and PM and exceed the allocated local industry emissions, which means the emission allocation of other industry is difficult. In additions, the power plant exhaust $CO_2$ much more than other types of fuel such as waterpower generation, atomic power station. Although several supports are given in local government, these cannot cover the whole cost due to establishment of power plant. Subsequently, this study suggest the additional policy based on local consideration is needed and the current electricity distribution system should be reconsidered fundamentally in the lang term.
