본 연구는 우리나라의 광역지자체의 산림지 온실가스 배출량을 시범산정하기 위해 수행되었다. 온실가스 배출량은 국가 온실가스 인벤토리 산정 지침에 따라 산정하였으며, 이를 위해 임업통계연보 및 산림관련 활동 자료 및 배출계수를 이용하였다. 그 결과 산림지의 2011년 총 배출량은 -58,711Gg $CO_2eq.$, 벌채, 연료재 수집, 산불에 의한 배출량은 19,896Gg $CO_2eq.$로 나타났다. 2011년을 기준으로 산림지에서는 온실가스를 흡수하는 것으로 나타났고, 순 배출량은 -38,815Gg $CO_2eq.$로 나타났다. 광역지자체 별로는 강원도에서 온실가스를 가장 많이 흡수하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 산정결과는 현재 중복산정을 최대한 배제하고자 많은 통계를 활용하지 않은 것으로, 향후 활동자료 및 배출계수 등을 보완하여 산정할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Autophagy contributes to enhancing the immune system (innate and adaptive immune system) against foreign pathogens. Autophagy of macrophages is used as a major indicator for developing vaccine adjuvants to increase the adaptive immune response. In this study, RAL increased the production of immunostimulatory mediators and phagocytotic activity in RAW264.7 cells. RAL increased p62/SQSTM1 expression. Inhibition of TLR4, JNK, and PI3K/AKT blocked RAL-mediated increase of p62/SQSTM1. RAL activated JNK and PI3K/AKT signaling. RAL-mediated activation of JNK and PI3K/AKT signaling was reversed by TLR4 inhibition. Taken together, it is believed that RAL-mediated autophagy may be dependent on activating via TLR4-dependent activation of JNK and PI3K/AKT signaling in macrophages.

The ability of several wood rotting fungi for decolorization of two anthracene derivatives, Carminic acid (CA) and Remazol brilliant blue R (RBBR), and hardwood KP bleaching liquor (BL) as well as laccase activities in these fungi were studied. The enzyme activity appeared exclusively in fungi destaining RBBR and CA, but in the case of BL, such relationship was not observed. The laccase enzyme was released into the decolorization media and its inducible (but not constitutive) forms shown destaining activity. The purified inducible forms of Kuehneromyces mutabilis and Pleurotus ostreatus laccase destained CA. Thus the possible differentiation between specificity of particular LAC forms was confirmed. In addition the nitrogen starvation induced both laccase and CA destaining activities, but the increase was higher for decolorization of CA than LAC activity. Probably LAC would be only partly responsible for decolorization of this dye. This results suggested that purified LACs decolorize CA, however its destaining activities were considerably lower than the activities on syringaldazine.

The toxicity of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) and formaldehyde (FA) on the indigenous microbial community in forest soil was studied. MTBE, TBA and FA with different concentrations were added into microcosms containing forest soil samples. After 10 and 30 days, total viable cell number and dehydrogenase activity in the microcosms were evaluated. Bacterial communities in the microcosms were also analyzed using a denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Dehydrogenase activity and total viable cell number were decreased according to the increase of MTBE, TBA and FA concentrations (P<0.05). FA toxicity was the highest, but TBA toxicity was the lowest. The results of principal component analysis using DGGE fingerprints showed that the microbial communities contaminated MTBE, TBA and FA were grouped by exposure time not exposure concentration. Dominant species in the microcosms were as follows: Photobacterium damselae sub sp. and Bacillus sp. KAR28 for MTBE; Mycobacterium sp. and Uncultured Clostridium sp. for TBA; and Uncultured Paenibacillaceae bacterium and Anxynobacillus, Flavithermus for FA.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of watching a virtual reality (VR) forest video on stress reduction in adults. Experiments were performed in an artificial climate chamber where temperature, humidity and illumination were controlled. To cause stress in subjects, the subjects were asked to multiply two digit numbers by one digit numbers for two minutes. The subjects then watched a VR forest video for five minutes. During the experiment, the heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) of subjects were continuously measured for evaluating their physiological state. After measuring the baseline and watching a VR forest video, their psychological state was evaluated using the profile of mood state (POMS), semantic differential (SD) method, and positive affect and negative affect schedule (PANAS). The results of physiological evaluation after watching a VR forest video showed a decrease in the stress index and HR, an increase in the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, and the standard deviation of normal to normal RR intervals (SDNN). The results of psychological assessment confirmed that watching a VR forest video induced "comfort", "natural", and "soothed" feelings in subjects. In addition, watching a VR forest video decreased "tension-anxiety (T-A)", "depression-dejection (D)", "anger-hostility (A-H)", "fatigue (F)", "total mood disturbance (TMD)", and increased "vigor (V)" compared to the base line, and decreased "negative affect" and increased "positive affect." These results indicate that watching a VR forest video decreases adults' stress index, stabilizes physiological state, and has a positive impact on psychological state. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for providing forest welfare services to people in the blind spots of forest welfare, and can lay a foundation for the adoption of VR, one of the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution in forestry.

This study compared the antimicrobial activity and total phenolic content of three Pinus plants (Pinus densiflora, P. thunbergii, P. rigida) for the first time. The antimicrobial activity of the water fraction of methanol extract of fresh leaves was stronger than that of fallen leaves at any concentrations. The water fraction of crude methanol extract from fresh leaves of P. thunbergii showed a higher growth inhibitory activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria than that of P. densiflora and P. rigida. The results from the disc diffusion method followed by measurements of minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) indicate that Bacillus subtilis was the most sensitive microorganism with the lowest MIC value. The highest total phenolic content was found in fresh leaves of P. rigida and P. thunbergii. The assay showed that the fresh leaves of the three Pinus plants contained higher total phenolic content than fallen leaves of the three plants. The antimicrobial activity was related with the total phenolic content.

Eucalyptus oils are widely used as spices, perfume industrial materials, food flavorings, and medicines. Several types of Eucalyptus oils also have insecticidal activity and as carminative. This study investigated the chemical composition, insecticidal (larvicidal and repellent) activity of E. urophylla oil against filarial mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus. E. urophylla oil was obtained from fresh leaves by water-steam distillation with oil yield 1.08%. E. urophylla oil in this study had no color (clear), has odor (typical eucalyptus), with specific gravity 0.941; refractive index 1.465; miscibility in 70% ethanol 1 : 3; and optical rotation (-) $5.83^{\circ}$. The major compounds of the oil were ${\alpha}$-pinene (11.73%), 1,8-cineole (49.86%), ${\beta}$-ocimene (6.25%), ${\gamma}$-terpinene (9.11%), and ${\alpha}$-terpinyl acetate (7.63%). The result showed the excellent insecticide activity against C. quinquefasciatus. The oil provided larvicidal activity with $LC_{50}$: 80.21 ppm and $LC_{90}$: 210.18 ppm, and repellent activity with $IC_{50}$: 0.82% and $IC_{90}$: 4.88%. The present study showed the effectiveness of E. urophylla as natural insecticide against C. quinquefasciatus, the mosquito vector of filariasis.

우리나라 특산, 희귀 식물로 알려져 있는 꼬리진달래(Rhododendron micranthum Turcz)를 기능성 유산균 Lactobacillus rhamnosus를 이용하여 발효 소재를 만들고 발효 소재의 항산화 활성 및 피부 개선 활성을 조사 하였다. 고형분 함량 3%의 꼬리진달래 추출물에 L. rhamnosus를 3%가 되게 접종하여 3일간 배양하여 $5{\times}10^9CFU/ml$의 높은 농도의 유산균이 배양 되었고 총페놀 함량은 배양 전 130 GAE mg/ml에서 157 GAE mg/ml로 증가 한 것으로 확인 되었다. DPPH, ABTS radical 소거능과 tyrosinase, elastase 저해 활성은 발효 전과 비교 하였을 때 각각 1.3, 1.5, 2.4, 5.6배 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 꼬리진달래 추출물을 유산균을 이용 하여 발효하였을 때 새로운 발효소재로 식품 및 화장품 산업 분야에 다양한 용도로 사용 가능할 것으로 생각 된다. 하지만 발효에 의한 천연 성분의 변화 및 활성 성분에 대한 분석, 생리활성 관련 작용 기전에 대해 추가적인 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
