In India, forest based insect enterprises has never been linked up with any forest management activity, either as a forest conservation strategy or to reduce the poverty in forested area. This investigation indicated that when forest dependent people are associated with forest insect industry (FII) like forest sericulture, lac culture or apiculture; this income generating activity links livelihood with forest conservation, and generates a viable model of collaborative forest management (CFM). In this model different stakeholders work together as a coherent entity for unified goal of managing the forest for well-being of the poor people in fringe areas. Article summaries and evaluates the prospect of India specific forest insect industry, and discusses how and to what extent integration of FII could be a viable livelihood component in CFM to conserve the forest and insect biodiversity. We analysed a case study on forestbased rearing of tropical tasar silkworm rearing in Central India from CFM perspective. Arguments in this communication are intended to provide forest managers and policy-makers with necessary input to consider location specific FII in CFM mode to provide a continuous source of small income to forest dependent people to ensure long lasting success of their forest management endeavours.

The effects of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus tinctorius and cadmium (Cd) on physiological properties and Cd uptake by Populus alba ${\times}$ glandulosa was investigated under greenhouse conditions. Cd treatment decreased the photosynthetic rate ($P_N$) of both non-mycorrhizal (NM) plants (16.3%) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) plants (11.5%). In addition, the reduction in total dry weight by Cd treatment was greater in ECM plants (24.3%) than that in NM plants (17.6%). Mycorrhizal infection increased the $P_N$ and transpiration rate in both control and Cd-treated plants. Cd treatment increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and decreased glutathione reductase activity, and the increase of SOD activity by Cd treatment was greater in NM plants (40.3%) than that in ECM plants (3.7%). Thiol content increased in both NM and ECM plants treated with Cd solution, and the increase in thiol content in NM plants (43.9%) was greater than that of ECM plants (15.6%). Cd uptake in the leaves, stems, and roots of ECM plants was 69.9%, 167.2% and 72.8%, respectively, higher than in the NM plants. However, the increase in Cd uptake ability of ECM plants resulted in a reduction in dry weight.

Abies nephrolepis(Pinaceae) extracts were tested for determined immune system regulating activity based on antiinflammatory activity, antioxidant activity and anti-proliferative effect on HeLa cell line. The A. nephrolepis extracts increased dose-dependently anti-proliferation of HeLa cell line. The DM fraction of the extracts having anti-proliferatative effects of HeLa cell line was fractionalized four subfractions($D1{\sim}D4$). Inflammation-induced NO production was inhibited by D2 and D4 in LPS-activated RAW264.7 macrophages. And also, this fractions showed antioxidant activity examined by DPPH radical scavenging effects. These results suggest that the potential use of DM fraction of A. nephrolepis in chemoprevention and regulation overproduction of NO on pathogenic conditions. The mechanism of the inflammatory effects, however, must be evaluated through various parameters in the induction cascade of NO production.

The leaves of D. racemosum showed strong DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity and the order of the radical scavenging activity against DPPH radical is ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction>crude extracts>residue fraction>hexane fraction>ether fraction, under the experimental conditions. Since EtOAc fraction has highest antioxidative activity among these fractions, the isolation was performed from the EtOAc fraction of the leaves of D. racemosum and four phenolic compounds were isolated and identified as follows: methyl gallate, kaempferol, quercetin and quercitrin. The free radical scavenging activities of these compounds were 79.9%, 93.1%, 93.6% and 66.7% at 10 ㎍/ml, respectively. The IC₅₀ of compound 1, compound 2, compound 3 and compound 4 were 6.1, 4.1, 3.6 and 6.5 ㎍/ml, respectively. These compounds have higher antioxidative activity compared with reference compounds, ascorbic acid (IC₅₀ = 9.6 ㎍/ml).

Formiptosis pinicola KMJ812에 의해 생산된 조효소액은 섬유소 분해효소 복합체로서 매우 활성이 높으며 특히 ${\beta}$-glucosidase의 활성이 높아 포도당 전환수율이 높다. 본 연구에서는 F. pinicola KMJ812 생산 cellulase를 고정화에 따른 효소특성의 변화와 고정화 효소의 재사용에 따른 효소의 불활성 정도를 관찰하였다. 담체는 고정화 수율이 cellulase활성 61.7%와 ${\beta}$-glucosidase활성 64.4%로 우수한 Duolite A568로 선정하였다. 고정화 효소의 최적반응온도는 cellulase와 ${\beta}$-glucosidase 활성의 경우 모두$55^{\circ}C$로서 수용성효소보다 높았으며, 최적 pH는 cellulase활성은 4.0이었고, ${\beta}$-glucosidase활성은 4.5로 cellulase활성의 경우에서만 수용성효소와 비교하여 약간 염기성으로 변화하였다. 본 고정화 효소는 $50^{\circ}C$에서 72시간 후에 98%의 활성을 유지하고 있었으며, $50^{\circ}C$에서 8회 사용 후에 50%정도의 잔존활성을 나타내었다.

Actinidia arguta extracts obtained from three cultivars ('Sae-Han', 'Dae-Sung', and 'Chil-Bo') were assayed for their antioxidant properties and nutritional composition. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging method. Total phenolic contents of the extracts were determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) content measured by a colorimetric method and reducing sugar content estimated by dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) method. Crude extracts from A. arguta 'Sea-Han' showed the most potent radical-scavenging activity showing 86.55% at 10 mg/ml. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of extracts and solvent fractions from Sea-Han cultivar was in decreasing order of EtOAc fraction>BuOH fraction>$CH_2Cl_2$ fraction>hexane fraction, among which EtOAc fraction showed the highest antioxidant activity (87.51 % at 5 mg/ml). Total phenolic contents in A. arguta 'Sae-Han', 'Dae-Sung' and 'Chil-Bo', were 32.93, 28.23, and 25.60 mg/g, respectively. Vitamin C contents of them were 840.57, 578.81 and 730.10 ug/g, respectively.

본 연구는 평면 숲동영상 및 VR 숲동영상 시청이 성인의 스트레스 감소에 미치는 영향을 밝히기 위해 수행되었다. 실험은 인공기후실에서 진행되었으며, 피험자는 40명이 참가하였다. 피험자의 스트레스를 유발한 후 2D 회색동영상, 2D 숲동영상, VR 숲동영상을 5분 동안 시청하게 하였다. 실험하는 동안 연속적으로 심박변동성을 측정하여 자율신경계 활동을 평가하였으며, 각 실험 후 설문지를 이용하여 심리 상태를 평가하였다. 생리적 측정 결과 2D 숲동영상은 2D 회색동영상보다 스트레스 지수 감소효과가 크고, HF 증가효과가 크며, 심장박동수 감소효과가 크다는 사실을 확인하였다. 또한 VR 숲동영상은 2D 회색동영상 시청보다 스트레스 지수 감소효과가 크고, LF/HF 증가효과가 크며, 심장박동수 감소효과가 크다는 사실을 확인하였다. 심리적 측정 결과 피험자들은 2D 회색동영상보다 2D 숲동영상과 VR 숲동영상을 더 쾌적하고, 자연적이며, 진정된다고 느꼈다는 사실을 확인하였다. 그리고 2D 숲동영상과 VR 숲동영상이 2D 회색동영상보다 긍정적인 정서를 증가시키고 부정적인 정서를 감소시킨다는 사실을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 바탕으로 2D 숲동영상과 VR 숲동영상의 시청은 스트레스 상황을 벗어나 2D 회색동영상을 시청하는 것보다 더 스트레스 지수를 감소시키고, 심장박동수를 감소시키는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 2D 숲동영상은 부교감 신경계의 활동을 증가시키고 VR 숲동영상은 교감 신경계의 활동을 증가시키는 차이점이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 마지막으로 VR 숲동영상의 교감 신경계의 활동 증가는 스트레스, 긴장 등의 부정적 교감신경 활성이 아닌 신기함, 호기심 등의 긍정적 교감신경 활성으로 판단된다. 이러한 연구의 결과가 산림치유의 시각적 효과에 대한 기반이 되길 기대하고, 임업분야에서 4차 산업혁명의 기술인 VR의 활용이 넓어지는 기반이 되길 기대한다.

Ozone ($O_3$) is a main component of photochemical oxidants, and a phytotoxic anthropogenic air pollutant. In North America and Europe, the current concentration of $O_3$ has been shown to have significant adverse effects on vegetation. In this review, we summarize the experimental studies on the effects of $O_3$ on the growth and photosynthetic activity of Japanese forest tree species to understand the present knowledge and provide sound basis for future research toward the assessment of $O_3$ impacts on Japanese forest ecosystem. Since the 1990s, several Japanese researchers have conducted the experimental studies on the effects of ambient levels of $O_3$ on growth and physiological functions such as net photosynthesis of Japanese forest tree species. Although the sensitivity to $O_3$ of whole-plant growth is quite different among the species, it was suggested that the current ambient levels of $O_3$ in Japan are high enough to adversely affect growth and photosynthetic activity of Japanese forest tree species classified into high $O_3$ sensitivity group such as Japanese beech. The N load to soil has been shown to reduce the sensitivity to $O_3$ of Japanese larch and increase that of Japanese beech. To establish the critical level of $O_3$ for protecting Japanese forest tree species, therefore, it is necessary to take into account the N deposition from the atmosphere. There is little information on the combined effects of $O_3$ and other environmental factors such as elevated $CO_2$ and drought on growth and physiological functions of Japanese forest tree species. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the experimental study and accumulate the information on the combined effects of $O_3$ and any other abiotic environmental factors on Japanese forest tree species.
