This experiment has been made to find out the influence of soil bulk density on growth and root development of Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa in Buyeo-kun, Chungnam. Bulk density and porosity significantly change according to slope position and soil depth and have a significant effect on tree height, DBH, biomass, and the distribution of root development. The results extracted from the experiments are as follows; 1) Bulk density in average changes from $1.17g/cm^3$ (1.05 ~ 1.40) in lower slope position to $1.43g/cm^3$ (1.36 ~ 1.60) in upper slope position, and porosity from 52.65% (55.05 ~ 45.50) in lower slope position to 41.20% (43.81 ~ 37.21) in upper slope position. 2) Bulk density increases significantly with soil depth. 3) Tree height, DBH, and total biomass decrease with bulk density. 4) Foliage, branch, bolewood, bolebark, and root also significantly have a negative correlation with hulk density. 5) Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa has a shallow root system chiefly distributing only in AI horizon, and critical bulk density is $1.43g/cm^3$. Therefore, slope position, hulk density, and porosity are considered to influence on the growth, biomass, and root development of Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa.

The purpose of this study is to show the possibility of 3-dimensional modeling of open-pit limestone mine by using a rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, a drone, and to estimate the amount of mining before and after mining of limestone by explosive blasting. Analysis of the image duplication of the mine has shown that it is possible to achieve high image quality. Analysis of each axis error at the shooting position after analyzing the distortions through camera calibration was shown the allowable range. As a result of estimating the amount of mining before and after explosive blasting, it was possible to estimate the amount of mining of a wide range quickly and accurately in a relatively short time. In conclusion, it is considered that the drone of a rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle can be usefully used for the monitoring of open-pit limestone mines and the estimation of the amount of mining. Furthermore, it is expected that this method will be utilized for periodic monitoring of construction sites and road slopes as well as open-pit mines in the future.
