본 연구는 수도권 인근에 위치하며 잠재오염원이 비교적 많이 분포하는 용인시 인근지역에서 생활용수로 사용되는 천부 지하수의 수질과 오염특성, 그리고 이들의 계절적 변화를 규명하고자. 봄(4월 말)과 가을(9월 말)의 2차에 걸친 지하수조사에서 각각 19개의 관정으로부터 지하수 시료를 채취하고, 잠재오염원 근처의 지표수 시료 6개를 채취하여 분석하였다. 천부 지하수의 주 양이온은 Ca, Mg이고, 주 음이온은 1차 조사시에는 Cl 영향이 크게 나타났으며, 2차 조사에서는 HCO$_3$이었다. 전기전도도 및 질산성 질소의 농도는 1차조사시에 비하여 2차 조사시 크게 낮아졌다. 주성분에 의한 지하수 유형의 변화, 전기전도도 및 질산성 질소의 농도변화 등은 천부 지하수의 수질에서 계절적 변화가 나타남을 보여준다. 지하수에서 지속적으로 망간이 먹는물 기준치의 약 10배에 해당하는 농도로 나타남은, 하천 인근에 위치하여 하상퇴적물과 지하수의 대수층이 연결되어 있는 경우. 퇴적물에 흡착. 침전되어 있는 중금속원소들이 지하수로 유입될 수 있음을 의미한다. 지표 오염물질은 봄철의 spring melt 현상이 일어날 때 지하수의 충진과 함께 유입되는 특성을 보인다.

디젤유로 오염된 토양으로부터 분리한 디젤 분해 우수 균주를 HS 균주로 명명하고, 각 균주의 디젤유 분해능과 특성을 조사하였다. 분리된 HS균주의 동정결과 HSI 균주는 Acinetobacter sp. HS2, HS3 균주는Pseudomonas sp.로 동정되었다. 최소배지에서 디젤유2%, pH 7.0,$25^{\circ}C$, 교반속도 200 rpm의 조건으로 5일간 배양한 결과 HSI 균주는 88% 이상의 높은 분해효율을 나타내었다. 소수성과 유화능의 측정 결과 HSI 균주가 가장 높은 소수성을 나타내었고, 유화능은 HS3 균주가 가장 높게 나타났다. 위의 결과를 토대로 액체 배양시 분해효율이 가장 높은 HSI 균주를 선택하여 토양배양을 실시한 결과 30일이 경과된 후 80%이상의 디젤유 분해효율을 나타내었고, 디젤유 분해효율은 미생물 활성과 비례하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 신규 분리된 디젤유 분해균주는 높은 디젤유 분해능과 토양 생존능으로 실제 유류오염 환경에 적용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The ecological background of a restoration project is complex and difficult to betermine without experimentation. A useful context for experiments is the well-studied process of natural succession, because the factors that drive or inhibit succession are also at work during reclamation (a form of primary succession) and restoration (which often resembles secondary succession). Using experimental studies on urban wasteland reclamation, we have tested for factors that stimulate or inhibit succession during early phases of woodland development in the Northeastern United states. The emphasis has been on mutualisms (seed dispersal, pollination, and mycorrhizae) and microsite limitations in the recruitment, growth, and reproduction of woody plants. Using plantings of seeds, seedlings, and clusters of reproductively mature plants on abandoned landfills, we have observed that (1) soil microsite deficiencies lead to very poor germination (<0.1$\%$) and seedling survival (<0.01$\%$) of most native species; (2) seed dispersal by birds is a significant and reliable source of woody plant recruitment; however (3) proximity effects are strong, with most (up to 95$\%$) of seed rain falling in the vicinity of planted clusters that are closest to putative seed sources; and (4) remnant natural woodlands are critical components of the recruitment process. To emphasize the last point, in one case, we found that the destruction of approximately 50$\%$ of nearby natural woodland vegetation led to a commensurate decline in seed rain. In another case, we found that the species richness of recruits was strictly limited by the species composition of nearby source plant communities, with no evidence of community enrichment by long distance dispersal over 5 years. We conclude from these results that the size and proximity of remnant natural populations are critical considerations when planning reclamation and restoration programs that rely on natural successional processes.

Mongolia has one of the strongest climate warming signals on Earth, and over 40% of the human population depends directly or indirectly on pastoral livestock production for their livelihoods. Thus, climate-driven changes in rangeland production will likely have a major effect on pastoral livelihoods . The loss of species dependent mostly on rainfall has resulted in adverse changes in the botanical composition of the steppes . Summer season in 2015 was completely dry until middle of July and, had not enough vegetation cover as last 15 years. The purpose of this study is to check plant community dynamics in Mongolia in relation to climate change in 2014 and 2015. The study sites were selected in mountain-steppe habitat in central Mongolia. In the 2014, there have been registered 81 plant species of 56 genera of 25 families on the investigated sites and, occurred 57 plant species of 44 genera of 21 families in the 2015. It is concluded that the abundance and richness of plants are directly connected to heavily affect by the climatic factor, i.e. amount of precipitation during growing season. As a same like result of climate change, in Mongolian land is going become desertification, and each spring, soil particles from Mongolia are swept up by a cold air mass into the atmosphere and blasts into south east China, Korea and Japan. The Koreans call this phenomenon the "Fifth season" or "Yellow sand", and the Chinese call it "Yellow dragon".

This research was designed to explore the meaning of housing among Korean Chinese in Harbin, China. In particular, the meaning of housing was examined by using the pathway approach. Utilizing qualitative research methods, this study administered the in-depth interview on the oral history of an individual life, and the 5 elderly persons in their 60s and 70s participated in the individualized interviews that were conducted from May 28 to 31 in 2010. The main findings of meaning of housing were as follows; 1. Similarly to the meaning of housing in 1970s and 1980s in Korea, house was viewed as both a shelter for family members and relatives and a place for their comfort. 2. Prior to multi-story residences, Harbin had only 3 different forms of single-story houses available; Chinese style with Kang and soil room(地室), Korean style with 'Ondol', and Russian style with open floor and Pechka, The promotion at work enabled participants to move to multi-story residences, their moving time varied from 1970 to 1991, and the residential moving determined their current housing status. 3. Multi-story residences were available around 1970s, floor-heating system was introduced from 1990s, and high-rise apartments were built from 1998. Korean Chinese(朝鮮族) weren't satisfied with the spatial composition of individual units embedded into the Chinese culture, especially, entrance, kitchen, bathroom and veranda. 4. Based on assimilation through socialism, adaptation to socialist society and capitalist acculturation, the lifestyles of the interviewees were categorized into five types - capitalist-proactive(Ms. KS), socialist-pragmatic(Ms. J), socialist-inducive(Ms. KY), family centered-conservative(Ms. L), and socialist-adaptive(Ms. P). This study implies that housing-related services for Korean Chinese are necessarily provided so as to embrace their life style and cultural identity in housing design, and further studies need to be explored.

For decades, the microorganisms in arctic soils have been newly discovered according to the climate change and global warming. In this study, the chemical structure of a lipid A molecule from Pseudomonas sp. strain PAMC 28615 which was newly discovered from arctic soils was characterized by mass spectrometric approaches such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and MALDI multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (MS). First, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Pseudomonas sp. strain PAMC 28615 was extracted and subsequently hydrolyzed to obtain the lipid A. The parent ion peak at m/z 1632 was determined by MALDI-TOF MS, which also can validate our lipid A purification method. For detailed structural determination, we performed the multiple-stage tandem mass analysis ($MS^4$) of the parent ion, and subsequently the abundant fragment ions in each MS stage are tested. The fragment ions in each MS stage were produced from the loss of phosphate groups and fatty acyl groups, which could be used to confirm the composition or the position of the lipid A components. Consequently, the mass spectrometry-based lipid A profiling method could provide the detail chemical structure of lipid A from the Pseudomonas sp. strain PAMC 28615 as an arctic bacterium from the frozen arctic soil.

[ $PM_{2.5}$ ], particulate matter less than 2.5 um in a diameter, can penetrate deeply into the lungs. Exposure to $PM_{2.5}$ has been associated with increased hospital visits for respiratory aliments as well as increase mortality. $PM_{2.5}$ is a byproduct of combustion processes and as such has a complex composition including a variety of metallic elements, inorganic and organic compounds as well as biogenic materials (microorganisms, proteins, etc). In this study, the average concentrations of fine particulates $PM_{2.5}$ have been measured simultaneously in Asan and Seoul, Korea, by using particulate matter portable sampler from September 2001 to August 2002. Sample collection filters were analyzed by ICP-OES to determine the concentrations of metallic elements (As, Ni, Fe, Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Si). Annual mean $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations in Asan and Seoul were 37.70 and $45.83\;{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. The highest concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$ were found in spring season in both cities and the concentrations of measured metallic elements except As in Asan were higher than those in Seoul, suggesting that yellow dust in spring could affect $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations in Asan rather than Seoul. The correlation coefficients of Pb and Zn were 0.343 for Asan and 0.813 for Seoul during non-yellow dust condition, suggesting that Pb and Zn were influenced with the same sources. The correlation coefficients between Si and Fe in the fine particulate mode were 0.999 (Asan) and 0.998 (Seoul) during yellow dust condition. It was suggested that these two elements were impacted by soil-related transport from China during the yellow dust storm condition.

재는 가축분을 중성화 시키며 토양에 산포하면 악취를 저감시키는 역할을 하며 하천에서 P의 양을 감소시킬 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 재의 특성과 이들의 첨가가 가져올 환경적인 이용에 관해서 언급하였다. 재는 아직도 물리적 화학적으로 일정한 정의가 없다 (석탄재-CFA, 목재재-WA, 왕겨재-RHA). 이들 재를 형성하고 있는 조건과 조성에 따라 산도는 6.0이하 그리고 12.5이상까지 이른다. CFA를 분중에 첨가하면 분중에 녹아있는 P의 양이 감소되어 토양에 산포하면 수질을 향상시킨다. WA는 WA 자체에 많은 탄소 원자를 갖고 있기 때문에 분에서 발생하는 냄새를 제거할 수 있다. RHA는 재중에 $20{\sim}60%$ 가량이 실리카이다. 현재까지 CFA, WA 그리고 RHA를 토양에 산포하여 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 많이 되어 있으므로 앞으로 가축분에 첨가하면 분중의 P과 악취를 낮출 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.

We investigated tree composition, stand characteristics, biomass allocation pattern and carbon storage variability in Sal forests (Shorea robusta Garten.) under two forest management regimes (Sal forest and Sal plantation) in Tripura, Northeast India. The results revealed higher species richness (29 species), stand density of $1060.00{\pm}11.12stems\;ha^{-1}$ and diversity index ($1.90{\pm}0.08$) in Sal forest. and lower species richness (4 species), stand density of $ 230.00{\pm}37.22stems\;ha^{-1}$ and diversity index ($0.38{\pm}0.15$) in Sal plantation. The total basal cover $33.02{\pm}4.87m^2ha^{-1}$) and dominance ($0.76{\pm}0.08$) were found higher in Sal plantation than the Sal forest ($22.53{\pm}0.38m^2ha^{-1}$ and $0.23{\pm}0.02$ respectively). The total vegetation carbon density was recorded higher in Sal plantation ($219.68{\pm}19.65Mg\;ha^{-1}$) than the Sal forest ($167.64{\pm}16.73Mg\;ha^{-1}$). The carbon density estimates acquired in this study suggest that Sal plantation in Tripura has the potentiality to store a large amount of atmospheric carbon inspite of a very low species diversity. However, Sal forests has also an impending sink of carbon due to presence of large number of young trees.
