While the recent lift of restrictions in greenbelt areas is expected to generate a number of development plans, there are efforts to create various development plans into spatial plans that consider the natural and ecological conditions of development sites. However, these development plans consider Degree of Green Naturality or Degree of Ecology only when designating areas for conservation within development sites. It is true that they don't fully reflect the value of green areas and wetlands as habitats and natural resources. Therefore, this study built an conservation value assessment model that is applicable to sites where development is planned in Korea by reviewing prior case examples md studies and applied the developed model to a case study area. The site where the conservation value assessment model was applied to is an area around Yongsan-ri and Suha-ri, Doam-myon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon province where quality natural resources are located in and wend the site. This is a site for the development of Alpensia Resort where a resort including facilities for the Winter Olympics is planned to be introduced. In order to assess the conservation value of the site for Alpensia Resort, a total of eight items including area, distribution of communities, habitation of species with conservation value, functions of habitats, connectivity of habitats, vegetation layers of forests, age of forests, and ratio of non-native plants were studied through literature review and field surveys. The assessment was made by dividing the site into 95 habitats that are perceived by aerial photographs and each habitat unit was assessed on the eight items in a 3-point scale. Each unit habitat assessed in a 3-point scale was segmented into primary, secondary or tertiary areas based on the conservation value. Habitats assessed as primary were designated as priority (absolute) conservation areas and those assessed as secondary and tertiary were set as secondary conservation areas and tertiary conservation areas, respectively. As a result, each area represented 26.9%, 20% and 3% of total site area. Based on this result, habitat management plans were developed to conserve primary conservation areas, improve secondary conservation areas and restore tertiary conservation areas. In addition, a development plan was developed to create habitats in areas where new habitats are requested in order to build an eco-network in the site and a plan to create eco-corridors was proposed. In developing a land use plan for the site, a development plan that considers conservation areas first should be set up based on the outcome of conservation value assessment. This can be linked to the development of an environment-friendly land use plan as well as easing the establishment of a green area and eco-network. This study will facilitate the implementation of the 'conservation before development' principle, which can prevent reckless development, by assessing conservation value in setting up development plans.

The issue of sustainable forest management (SFM) continues to emerge as part of the REDD+ mechanism mitigation efforts. Especially for some developing countries, such as Indonesia, forest management is required to provide benefits to the welfare of local communities in addition to forest conservation efforts. This study aims to identify the economic, social, and environmental impacts of community-based forest management (CBFM) implementation activities, which is one of the implementations of SFM at field level. The primary objectives were to find out the impacts of CBFM activities based on local people's perceptions and to identify what factors need to be considered to increase local people's satisfaction on CBFM activities. The data from 6 sub-villages was derived through surveys with local people involved in CBFM activities, interviews with a key informant, and supported by secondary data. The results of the study state that CBFM activities have increased the local people's income as well as their welfare, strengthening the local institution, and help to resolve conflicts in the study area. CBFM has also been successful in protecting forests by rehabilitating unproductive lands and increase forest cover area. By using binary logistic regression analysis, it found that income, business development opportunities, access to forests, conflict resolution, institutional strengthening, and forest rehabilitation variable significantly affected the local people's satisfaction of CBFM activities.

A pollen analytical study of sediment sequences collected from Yongneup moor (sampling point: $38^{\circ}$12'57.4" N, $120^{\circ}$7'30.2" E) was conducted to understand the vegetation history in the mountainous region of the central Korean peninsula. Carbon dating was carried out to measure five successive samples obtained from the bottom at a depth of 180 cm to the surface. The Yongneup moor sediment revealed four main local pollen zones; that is, four past vegetation phases as follows: Local pollen zone I: Quercus-Pinus zone; estimated age, 5,900-4,800 calibrated years (cal) before present (BP); vegetation type, cool-temperate central/montane deciduous broad-leaved forest. Local pollen zone II: Pinus-Abies-Quercus zone; estimated age, 4,800-3,400 cal BP; vegetation type, cool-temperate northern/alti-montane mixed coniferous and deciduous broad-leaved forest. Local pollen zone III: Quercus-Pinus-Abies zone; estimated age, 3,400-400 cal BP; vegetation type: cool-temperate central/montane deciduous broad-leaved forest. Local pollen zone IV: Pinus-Quercus zone; estimated age, 400-present cal BP; vegetation type, cool-temperate central/montane mixed deciduous broad-leaved and coniferous forest. It was confirmed that subalpine coniferous forests had expanded to the mountainous region of the central Korean peninsula during the period from 4,800-3,400 cal BP and thereafter deciduous forests dominated by Q. mongolica were established. Notably, secondary forests dominated by P. densiflora developed in the lower part of the mountainous region of the central Korean peninsula about 400 cal BP due to human interference.

엄밀한 의미의 비무장지대(Demilitarized Zone : DMZ)는 한국군사정전협정에 의해서 설정된 폭 4km, 길이 248km의 좁은 띠로 이루어진 육상지역으로서 서쪽으로는 경기도 파주시 장단면 장단반도의 임진강 하구로부터 시작해서 동쪽으로는 강원도 고성군 현내면의 동해안까지 이른다. 그러나 비무장지대에 인접한 민통선지역(민북지역)과 한강 하구와 서해안의 민통선지역의 생태계도 어느 정도 비무장지대의 생태계와 유사하므로 비무장지대와 민통선지역을 합쳐 일반적으로 "비무장지대 일원의 생태계"라고 부르고 있다. 비무장지대 일원의 식물상은 총 1,864종류로 파악되며 이는 우리나라 전체 관속식물 종류의 약 42%에 해당한다. 비무장지대 내부의 식생, 식물상, 동물상은 수많은 지뢰와 출입의 제약 때문에 정밀한 조사가 거의 불가능하다. 2001년 경기도 파주시 장단면 경의선 남북 연결 철도 건설 구간의 비무장지대 내부 식생을 조사한 결과 산림 식생은 신갈나무, 상수리나무, 굴참나무 등 참나무류가 주로 우점하는 2차림으로서 구조가 매우 단순하였고 비무장지대의 나머지 반은 과거의 묵논에 형성된 억새, 물억새, 달뿌리풀 등의 장경초지로 이루어져 있었다. 비무장지대의 대부분이 원시림으로 덮여 있을 것이라는 예상과는 전혀 다르게 비무장지대 내부의 식생은 이와 같이 군사적인 활동에 기인한 빈번한 산불로 대부분 구조가 단순한 2차 천이 초기의 산림이거나 과거의 농경지에 형성된 묵논 습지 및 초지로 되어 있다. 비무장지대의 법적 보호 장치로는 통일 후 2년 동안만 한시적으로 적용되는 환경부의 자연유보지역이 유일하다. 따라서 비무장지대의 보전을 위해서는 천연보호구역, 명승, 국립공원 등 국내법에 따르는 자연보호지역 지정이 우선되어야 한다. 국제적인 협력을 얻기 위해서는 유네스코 생물권보전지역, 유네스코 세계유산, 람사르 국제습지의 지정에 비무장지대가 포함될 수 있도록 노력해야 할 필요가 있다. 비무장지대의 세계유산 신청 시에는 지난 60여 년간 산불에 의해서 2차림과 묵논 습지가 유지되어온 독특한 생태적 경관적 가치를 내세울 수 있다. 아무런 자연 보전 대책 없이 통일이 이루어질 경우 비무장지대 생태계는 순식간에 6.25전쟁 직전 상태로 되돌아갈 수 있다. 통일 후에도 비무장지대 생태계를 현 상태로 유지하기 위해서는 지뢰 존치, 철조망 존치, 도로와 철도의 터널 및 교량화, 산불 유지 등의 대책이 논의되고 준비되어야 한다.

A study was conducted for indentifying the floral biodiversity of woody species by calculating four diversity indices using data collected from 4 stands of different age groups and disturbance regimes in two areas of Madhupur tract. Results showed that highest species diversity in the old growth secondary coppice forest (>60 years) under moderate anthropogenic disturbances of Madhupur National Park area (delete (D=0.74, H'=3.36) followed by old growth secondary forest stands (>40 years) under moderate disturbances at Bhawal National Park area (D=0.65, H'=2.81). Plant species diversity of the young enrichment plantations (<20 years and <15 years) under high anthropogenic disturbances in both the areas are much low (D=0.54 and H'=2.16 and D=0.52 and H'=1.92 respectively), which indicate high anthropogenic disturbances coupled with introduction of invasive exotics that are rival for endemic species are detrimental for conservation of biological diversity of tropical moist deciduous forests of Madhupur tract in Bangladesh.

난온대 상록활엽수림의 식생천이계열을 논의하기 위해 극상림이라 알려진 육박나무군락이 생육하는 한국 3곳(비진도, 애도, 보길도)과 일본 1곳(다치바나산)을 조사 및 분석했다. 이를 토대로 한국, 일본, 중국, 대만의 관련문헌을 검토해 상록활엽수림의 분포특성, 식생천이계열 및 극상수종을 고찰했다. 다치바나산과 애도는 육박나무군락이 가장 발달한 식생구조를 보였지만, 토양분석 및 CCA분석에서 육박나무군락을 난온대 천이극상단계의 조건으로 판단하기엔 부족함이 보였다. 한국과 일본에서 육박나무군락은 드물게 분포하는 반면, 동아시아 난온대 지역에 보편적인 식생유형은 후박나무류, 잣밤나무류, 가시나무류였다. 한국 난온대 지역의 식생천이계열은 곰솔 소나무 졸참나무 등(초기단계)${\rightarrow}$후박나무 생달나무 참식나무 육박나무 등(중간단계)${\rightarrow}$구실잣밤나무 붉가시나무 참가시나무 등(극상단계)의 순으로 2차천이가 진행될 것으로 추정된다. 단, 조풍의 영향을 강하게 받는 입지조건이나 잣밤나무류 가시나무류의 종자공급이 어려운 곳에서는 후박나무류 유형이 토지극상일 것이다.

With the cultivated mulberry plant which feeds silkworm on its leaves in sericulture, the measuring methods of biomass of terrestrial organs were compared and the annual net productivity was estimated. The measurement of the standing crops by means of allometric method on basis of relation between the parameter D230H, square of the diameter of the branch on 30cm high above ground($D{\frac}{2}{30}$) multiplied by its height(H), and the amount of leaves(WL) or of branch (Ws) was more accurate than other methods on basis of correlation between a character of the branch such as H, D30 or D230 and WL or Ws. The estimate of value of the net productivity of terrestrial parts of mulberry was 9.06-12.54 ton/ha.year, which was similar to that obtained from secondary forests in cool temperate zone.

Fungal endophytes are defined as fungi inhabiting plant tissues, causing no apparent disease. As the agricultural and ecological importance of endophytes has increased, many studies have been performed on various aspects, ranging from basic identification, taxonomy, and evolution to secondary metabolites with potential for human use. In the Korean Peninsula, conifers are the most commonly found evergreen trees, with approximately 30 to 60 reported taxa. Studies on the effect of conifer-associated endophytes on the host plants are required for the preservation and conservation of coniferous forests which decline by climate change and deforestation. This review summarizes the diversity of endophytic fungi in coniferous trees of Korea and their relationship with host plants.

The forest vegetation occurring mainly at the mountain areas in periphery of Seoul were inversigated phyeosociologically. The granitic rocky outcrops are typical physiognomy on the study areas. The greater part of forests was the secondary vegetation to be disturbed by hyman impacts, because of being situated near the metropolis with a highly dense population. Four community types were largely differentiated by species composition. The representitive ones were the Quercus monogolica community and Pinus densiflora-Juniperus schinensis community, which are predominantly gorwing at the slopes above about 100m in altituse and the rocky ridges, respectively. The Betula chinensis-Potentilla dickinsii community at several single-peaks of windswept and the Zelkova serrata-Prunus padus community at stony valley are sporadically growing in a small area.

This survey was conducted to investigate the perception on environmental education by teachers, the current situation of environmental education including problems faced by them in teaching environmental education in the primary and secondary schools. Questions in the survey are designed to aid the development of an environmental education program on trees and forests for teachers to use in their instruction of environmental education. Eight hundred teachers were chosen as a sample in the survey and some of them were again invited to a workshop on environmental education afterwards. In the workshop the survey result was discussed in order to make it more meaningful for program development. The process of environmental education program development, which is sponsored by UNDP and the Korean Government, will be shared with the participants of the conference.
