Objectives: Scientific verification for health effects has been constantly demanded through the forest healing factors. In this study, phytoncide concentration which is one of the forest healing factors, was investigated according to stand density, season and visiting time, and analyzed correlation with micrometeorology factors. Methods: Total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and Natural volatile organic compounds (NVOCs) were collected using a measuring instrument which is connected to an air pump with the Tenax TA tube. The 32NVOCs were selected through the detailed criteria of adequacy assessment for recreational forest. The statistical analysis (correlation and stepwise regression analysis) was conducted between phytoncide concentration and micrometeorology factors. Results: NVOCs concentration linearly increased according to stand density. The high level showed in the summer (p<0.05), and there is no significant difference according to visiting hours of the Healing forest. NVOCs is a negative correlation with solar radiation, PAR and wind direction, and a positive correlation with relative humidity and temperature (p<0.01). NVOCs increased following the increase of humidity and temperature ($R^2=0.55$). Conclusions: Phytoncide linearly increased according to stand density, and showed the correlation significantly with microclimate factors. In future, these results will be utilized as a basic material to promote the generation of phytoncide, which positively influences human health promotion and manage the forest welfare space.

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.

The aims of the study were to analyze (1) the effects of Prosopis juliflora (Prosopis) on the spatial distribution and soil seed banks (SSB) diversity and density, (2) the effects of environmental factors on SSB diversity and density (number of seeds in the soil per unit area), and (3) the effects of animal fecal droppings on SSB diversity, density, and dispersal. Aboveground vegetation data were collected from different Prosopis-infested habitats from quadrats (20 × 20 m) in Prosopis thickets, Prosopis + native species stand, non-invaded woodlands, and open grazing lands. In each Prosopis-infested habitats, soil samples were collected from the litter layer and three successive soil layer, i.e., 0-3 cm, 3-6 cm, and 6-9 cm. Seeds from soil samples and animal fecal matter were separated in the green house using the seedling emergence technique. Invasion of Prosopis had significant effects on the soil seed bank diversity. Results revealed that the mean value of the Shannon diversity of non-invaded woodlands was being higher by 19.2%, 18.5%, and 11.0% than Prosopis thickets; Prosopis + native species stand and open grazing lands, respectively. The seed diversity and richness, recovered from 6-9-cm-deep layer were the highest. On the other hand, the density of Prosopis seeds was the highest in the litter layer. About 156 of seeds/kg (92.9%) of seeds were germinated from cattle fecal matter. However, in a small proportion of seedlings, 12 of seeds/kg (7.1%) were germinated from shot fecal matter. Thus, as the seeds in the soil were low in the study areas, in situ and ex situ conservation of original plants and reseeding of persistent grass species such as Cynodon dactylon, Cenchrus ciliaris, Chrysopogon plumulosus, and Brachiaria ramosa are recommended.

The present study was carried out from September 2007 to February 2008 in Umfakarin natural forest reserve, South Kordofan, Sudan. The objective was to analyze the effect of different management strategies on yield of gum talha from Acacia seyal. A total of 493 single target trees were selected, based on their diameters, and assigned to tapping treatments in three different stand densities (making a total of nine treatments per stand density). The treatments are as follows: tapping date with three levels (first of October, 15 October and first of November) and two levels of local tapping tools (sonki, and makmak). Untapped trees were used as control. The first picking of gum was started fifteen days after tapping while the subsequent pickings were done in intervals of fifteen days. Yield per tree throughout the season was obtained by summing up the gum yield from all pickings. Yield throughout the season (from first to the last picking) were analyzed. General linear model (GLM) was used to test the effect of different tapping treatments on the yield of gum talha. Post hoc test after analysis of variance (ANOVA) based on Scheffe test was performed to examine the differences in gum yield as a result of different management strategies. The results showed that tapping has a significant influence on gum yield. Analysis of pick-to-pick yield indicated that only three treatments in dense stand density showed a decreasing pattern while the rest of treatments either have constant or unclear patterns. The results of the present study were based on a single season data and that may underscore the real effect of Acacia seyal stands' management strategies on gum talha yield. Conducting gum yield experiments in permanent trial plots are highly recommended in order to analyze gum yield of seasonal time series.

이 연구는 우리나라 서 남 동해안 및 제주도 총 123개소의 곰솔 해안방재림 실태조사 결과와 국내 외 사례와의 비교를 토대로 형상비를 고려한 밀도 관리의 필요성과 방안을 검토하기 위하여 실시하였다. 곰솔의 형상비(수고/흉고직경)는 서 남 동해안에서 임목밀도와 정의 상관을 보이며, 서해안은 평균 66.32로 남해안 49.57, 동해안 48.19 및 제주도 48.29에 비하여 현저히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 서해안은 형상비 70이상인 곰솔 임분이 전체 개소수의 50%를 차지하여, 국내 외 사례와 비교할 때 방재기능의 저하가 우려되었다. 임목밀도는 동해안을 제외한 대부분 지역에서 우리나라 산림청 및 일본 삼림총합연구소의 기준보다 현저히 높은 과밀상태를 보여 밀도조절이 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 우리나라 해안지역 곰솔의 생장 추정식에 의하면 해안방재림의 기능 저하를 방지하기 위하여 형상비가 급증하는 14년생 이하의 유령림에 대한 밀도관리가 중요한 것으로 시사되었다. 특히 곰솔림의 1차 솎아베기는 형상비 70을 초과하는 8년생 임분이 되기 전에 실시해야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 우리나라와 일본의 곰솔 밀도기준을 비교한 결과, 목재생산을 목표로 한 국내의 곰솔 밀도기준에 비하여 형상비를 고려한 일본의 기준은 방재기능이 비교적 취약한 흉고직경 20 cm이하의 유령림에 대해서는 보다 높은 임목밀도를 요구하는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 우리나라에는 곰솔 해안방재림의 적정 밀도기준이 없기 때문에 현지조사 결과를 토대로 방재기능에 중점을 두고 설정된 일본의 기준이 유효하게 활용될 수 있다고 판단되었다.

본 연구는 리기다소나무림의 줄기밀도와 바이오매스 확장계수에 대한 불확실성을 평가하고자 하였다. 총 57본의 표본목을 벌채하였으며, 리기다소나무 20년생 이하의 유령임분과 21년생 이상의 성숙임분을 구분하여 t-검정을 실시한 결과, 줄기밀도는 영급별 차이가 나타나지 않는 반면(p=0.8070), 바이오매스 확장계수는 영급별 차이가 나타났다(p=0.0001). IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)에서 제시한 불확실성 평가 방법을 이용하여 줄기밀도에 대한 불확실성을 평가한 결과, 20년생 이하에서 30.92%, 21년생 이상에서 25.12%으로 나타났으며, 바이오매스 확장계수에 대한 불확실성은 20년생 이하에서 60.32%, 21년생 이상에서 22.42%으로 나타났다. 줄기밀도의 불확실성은 영급별로 약 5.8%의 차이를 나타낸 반면, 바이오매스 확장계수의 불확실성은 20년생 이하가 21년생 이상 보다 약 37.9%로 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 성숙임분은 불확실성이 상대적으로 작게 나타났으며, 반면에 유령임분은 높게 나타났다. 따라서 줄기밀도와 바이오매스 확장계수를 사용할 경우, 20년생 이하의 영급과 21년생 이상의 영급을 구분하여 줄기밀도와 바이오매스 확장계수를 적용하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 강원도 평창지역의 천연 활엽수림을 대상으로 시간 경과에 따른 택벌림화 작업지의 임분밀도와 임목본수의 변화를 파악하고, 택벌림화 작업지에 적합한 무육방법을 제시함으로써 천연 활엽수림의 경영에 필요한 정보를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 임분밀도의 조절을 위해 임분밀도지수를 사용하여 매 5년 마다 ha당 흉고단면적의 10%, 12%, 그리고 14%를 제거하는 모의시업을 시행하였다. 그 결과 택벌림화 작업지를 목표로 하는 임분으로 유도하기 위해서는 30년 정도의 정리기가 필요할 것으로 판단하였다. 최종적으로 30년이 경과하는 시점까지 각 시나리오에 따른 무육을 거치는 동안 적정 임분밀도를 유지하면서 많은 재적을 확보할 수 있는 방법을 택벌림화 작업지에 적합한 무육방법으로 판단하였다. 모의시업의 결과 매회 ha당 흉고단면적의 10%를 제거하였을 경우에는 정리기동안 임분밀도지수가 적정 수준을 초과하는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, 매회 12%와 14%를 제거하였을 경우에는 적정 임분밀도를 유지하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 최종 수확시의 경제성을 고려한 결과 흉고단면적의 12%씩을 제거하는 시업강도를 적용하는 것이 가장 적합한 무육방법으로 평가되었다.

The quantification of dry season evaporation in regions, where the magnitude of dry season flows is key to the regional water supply, is essential for good water management. Also, tree transpiration has a significant role in the water balance of a catchment whenever it is tree populated, especially in water limited environments. Such is the case in the Middle Mountains of Nepal where dry season flows play a significant role in downstream water provisioning and their proper functioning is key to the welfare of millions of people. This research seeks to study the transpiration of a pine forest stand in the Jikhu Khola Watershed in the Middle Mountains of Nepal. To the author's knowledge, no single study has been made so far to estimate the dry season evaporation from the planted forest stand in the Middle Mountains of Nepal. The study was carried out in planted pine forest embedded within the Jikhu Khola Catchment. Field campaigns of sap flow measurements were carried out from September, 2010 to February, 2011 in the selected plot of 15*15m dimension, to characterize dry season evaporation. This was done by measuring sap fluxes and sapwood areas over the six trees of different Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) classes. The sap flux was assessed using Granier's thermal dissipation probe (TDP) technique while sapwood area was determined using several incremental core(s) taken with a Pressler borer and immediately dyeing with methyl orange for estimating the actual depth of sapwood area. Transpiration of the plot was estimated by considering the contribution of each tree class. For this purpose, sap flux density, sapwood area and the proportion of total canopy area were determined for each tree class of the selected plot. From these data, hourly and diurnal transpiration rates for the plot were calculated for experimental period. Finally, Cienciala model was parameterized using the data recorded by the ADAS and other terrain data collected in the field. The calibrated model allowed the extrapolation of Sap flux density (v) over a six month period, from September 2010 to February 2011. The model given sap flux density was validated with the measured sap flux density from Grainier method.

Tree size distribution modelling is an integral part of forest management. Most distribution yield systems rely on some flexible probability models. In this study, a simple finite mixture of two components two-parameter Weibull distribution was compared with complex four-parameter distributions in terms of their fitness to predict tree size distribution of teak (Tectona grandis Linn f) plantations. Also, a system of equation was developed using Seemingly Unrelated Regression wherein the size distributions of the stand were predicted. Generalized beta, Johnson's SB, Logit-Logistic and generalized Weibull distributions were the four-parameter distributions considered. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and negative log-likelihood value were used to assess the distributions. The results show that the simple finite mixture outperformed the four-parameter distributions especially in stands that are bimodal and heavily skewed. Twelve models were developed in the system of equation-one for predicting mean diameter, seven for predicting percentiles and four for predicting the parameters of the finite mixture distribution. Predictions from the system of equation are reasonable and compare well with observed distributions of the stand. This simplified mixture would allow for wider application in distribution modelling and can also be integrated as component model in stand density management diagram.
