중부지방 낙엽송 조림지에 대하여 식재후 적정한 1차 간벌 시기를 추정하기 위하여 충북대학교 부속 연습림(월악산)을 대상으로 연구한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 충북대학교 부속 연습림내에 조림된 낙엽송의 수고곡선식은 H=4.25783+0.80024D(H=수고, D=흉고직경)이었다. (2) 본 연구대상지의 재적식을 구하기 위해 최소제곱법으로 회귀분석을 한 결과, 수고와 흉고 직경을 모두 독립변수로 하는 경우 재적식은 V=0.001474-0.002095D-0.000211H+0.000150D·H+0.000744D²+0.000008H²(V=재적(㎥), H=수고(m), D=흉고직경(cm)) 이었다. 한편, 재적에 대하여 흉고직경만을 독립변수로 한 경우는 V=0.000079-0.000512D+0.000826D²이었다. (3) 간벌시기 추정을 위한 기준으로는 수고 MAI의 극대점을 이루는 연령과 고사목에서 총 흉고직경 생장량의 평균치 이하로 떨어지는 시점의 연령이 적절한 것으로 판단된다. (4) 수고 MAI의 극대점에 도달하는 연령은 임분밀도와 유의성 있는 상관을 보이지 않아 정확한 간벌시기의 판단기준으로 삼을 수 없었다 (5) 간벌시기를 결정하는 추정식은 고사목의 흉고직경생장량의 경년변화를 토대로 계산하였으며, 그 결과식은 Y=0.2825+0.01752X 이었다. (6) 관행적인 1.8m×l.8m의 식재밀도가 적용된 낙엽송 조림지에서 간벌 개시 임령은 12∼14년이 적당한 것으로 나타났다.

The pipelines and equipments are degraded by flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), and a large-scale test facility was constructed for simulate the FAC phenomena in secondary coolant environment of PWR type nuclear power plants. Using this facility, FAC test was performed on weld pipe (carbon steel and low alloy steel) at the conditions of high velocity flow (> 10 m/s). Wall thickness was measured by high temperature ultrasonic monitoring systems (four-channel buffer rod type and waveguide type) during test period and room temperature manual ultrasonic method before and after test period. This work deals with the complex effects of flow velocity on the wall thinning in weld pipe and the test results showed that the higher flow velocity induced different increasement of wall thinning rate for the carbon steel and low alloy steel pipe.

This study was conducted to examine litter inputs and litter decomposition rates following thinning, which is among the most important forest management activities that enhance the beneficial functions in Korean forests. Litter inputs and litter decomposition rates following a 2-year elapse from thinning in Pinus densiflora and following a 7-year elapse from thinning in Quercus variabilis stands were measured for 2 years from 16 sites in three regions (Sancheong-gun, Uiryeong-gun, and Jinju-si) in Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. Annual needle litter inputs in P. densiflora stands were significantly decreased following thinning, whereas annual broadleaved leaf litter inputs in Q. variabilis stands were not significantly different between thinned and unthinned treatments. The annual mean total litter inputs in both tree species were significantly lower in the thinned (P. densiflora: 3,653 kg ha^-1 year^-1; Q. variabilis: 4,963 kg ha^-1 year^-1) compared to the unthinned stands (P. densiflora: 5,138 kg ha^-1 year^-1; Q. variabilis: 5,997 kg ha^-1 year^-1) during the study period. The mass loss rates from decomposing needle litter in P. densiflora stands were significantly lower (p<0.05) in the thinned stands than in the unthinned stands for two sampling dates of the eight included in the study, whereas the decomposition rates from decomposing leaf litter in Q. variabilis stands were not affected by thinning. The results indicate that thinning effects on total litter inputs remained clear following a 2-year elapse from thinning in P. densiflora stands and following a 7-year elapse from thinning in Q. variabilis stands.

Background: Korean white pine (Pinus koraiensis) is a major commercial species, and the importance of the oak trees (Quercus spp.) is increasing due to various factors such as environmental and ecological values. However, more information is required to clearly understand the growth characteristics of these species especially regarding thinning intensity. This study was performed to provide the basic information to develop the silvicultural guideline and field manual by analyzing tree and stand characteristics in line with thinning intensity in the Korean white pine plantation and oak-dominated natural deciduous forest. Results: Diameter at breast height (DBH) and volume changes by the thinning intensity in the Korean white pine plantation were significantly different from those in the oak-dominated deciduous natural forest. In particular, DBH distribution in the pine stand appeared that there were more large diameter trees as the thinning intensity was higher. DBH periodic annual increment (PAI) of the pine stand was higher as the thinning intensity was stronger and the growth period was shorter. This trend was similarly shown in the natural deciduous forest, but the amount of PAI was smaller than in pine stand. The volume PAI after thinning was not decreased over time. In each stand type, the PAI tended to be lower as stand density was higher. The volume PAI in the pine stand was significantly higher than that in the oak-dominated natural deciduous forest. Dead trees occurred the most in the unthinned plots of each stand type, and those were higher in the natural deciduous forest. Ingrowth trees were observed only in the natural deciduous forest, and its distribution was the lowest in unthinned plots; Korean white pine as ingrowth occurred the most frequently among many tree species. Conclusions: Different effects of thinning treatment on DBH and volume PAI, mortality, and ingrowth were observed for each stand. With respect to forest growth, Korean white pine plantation was superior to the oak-dominated natural deciduous forest. The results of this study offer fundamental information for the development of silvicultural guidelines for Korean white pine plantations and oak-dominated natural deciduous forests in Korea.

Since 1973, we attain a successful achievement of nation-wide afforestation such as a thick forest and heaped-up leaves. However, the higher of the formation density in forest, the more dangerous to be a large-scale forest fire whenever fire occurs. According to the type of forest in the country, 42% of the forest is occupied by conifer forest that are highly flammable, and the distribution of forest age is in a transition period from immature forest to mature one. And the structure is too weak to the forest fire for the occurrence and spread because there are too many scrub and shrub trees in the forest. As a matter of course, it is on the increase of the thinning-forest that can shift the forest structure from a weak on forest fire to a strong one nowaday. In other words, thinning-forest has primary purposes such as the promotion of producing forest trees, production of excellent timbers, and build-up of public forest area. Furthermore, in some reports, the reduction of ladder fuel by eliminating the vertical/horizontal fuel in a forest and ensuring spaces in the forest can decrease the occurrence of forest fire and the risk of spread of burning as by-effect. Therefore, this study is designed to clarify the relation with the risk of forest fire by an on-spat-investigation of the characteristics of forest composition on the thinning and the non-thinning area.

침엽수인공림에서 임분 성장 및 간벌이 장기 물수지에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 광릉 침엽수인공림유역 및 활엽수천연림유역에서 1982년부터 2009년까지 28년에 걸쳐 관측한 연강수량 및 연유출량의 변화를 분석하였다. 광릉 침엽수인공림유역은 1976년에 유역 전반에 걸쳐 잣나무와 전나무, 리기다소나무가 3,000본/ha의 밀도로 식재되었으며, 1996년에 잔존 본수의 약 45%를 간벌하였다. 1982년부터 2009년까지의 기간을 광릉 침엽수인공림유역 내 침엽수림의 영급을 기준으로 4개 기간으로 구분하여 연평균 강수량 및 유출량을 비교한 결과, 활엽수천연림유역의 기간별 연평균 유출량은 강수량이 증가함에 따라 동일하게 증가하는 추세를 보였으나, 침엽수인공림유역에서는 임령증가 및 간벌 실시에 따라 증감을 반복하는 것으로 나타났다. 간벌을 실시하지 않은 침엽수인공림은 임령이 증가할수록 높은 식재밀도로 인해 수관울폐도가 과도하게 높아지고 이로 인해 수관차단 및 증산량 증가 등 물손실이 커진다. 본 연구에서도 간벌 실시전 침엽수인공림유역의 연평균 유출량이 감소하였으나 간벌 실시 후에는 간벌 전에 비해 연평균 유출량이 약 1.7배 증가하는 등 유출량 증가 경향이 뚜렷하였다. 이러한 경향은 연강수량 및 연유출량의 이중 누가곡선 비교분석에서도 동일하게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 간벌 후 약 10년 경과시 연강수량의 뚜렷한 증가 경향에도 불구하고 침엽수인공림유역의 유출량이 다시 감소하였는데, 이는 임분이 성장함에 따라 수관차단 등 물손실량이 다시 증가하기 때문이다. 따라서, 침엽수인공림유역에서 지속적인 수자원 확보를 위해서는 10년 이내의 간격으로 적정한 밀도의 간벌을 반복해서 실시하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

In Japan, about 67% of the land is covered by forests and about 41% of them consist of plantations. About 35% of the plantations consist of old-aged plantations of older than 50 yearsand the percentage is projected to 67% in ten years' time. Although the trees of these plantations are supposed to be cut for timber production, most of them remain unmanaged and thus overcrowded mainly due to declining domestic forest industry. Since the forests are mostly located in headwater watershed, there are growing concerns about the degradation of water resources by these unmanaged plantations. To understand the ecohydrological processes in these plantations and examine the effect of intensive 50-60 % thinning to increase infiltration rate and reduce overland flow and soil erosion by recovering understory vegetation, the JST-CREST project "Development of Innovative Technologies for Increasing in Watershed Runoff and Improving River Environment by the Management Practice of Devastated Forest Plantation (Representative: Yuichi Onda)" has been launched since 2009. The ultimate objective of this project is to provide potential scenario to enhance low flow discharge in drought period and reduce turbid material in high flow period. We have been conductingintensive field observation campaign in five research sites across Japan. In Fukuoka site, integrated ecohydrological observations have been conductedin two contrastive watersheds since 2010. Intensive 50% thinning was conducted from January to April 2012 and comparative studies of ecohydrological processes before and after thinning have been started. The interim results from all the sites of this project will be presented in the 3rd International Congress for Forest and Water in a Changing Environment held in Fukuoka during 18-20 September, 2012 (http://www.forest.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~ecohydrol/3ForestWater/index.html).

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of thinning and pruning on characteristics of forest stand, mesopore ratio and soil water content at the Pinus koraiensis stands in Gwangneung, Gyeonggido. The Pinus koraiensis had been planted in 1976 and thinning and pruning were carried out in 1996. A sample area survey was conducted at experimental plots (thinned and unthinned) in 1998 and 2005, and mesopore ratio and soil water content have been monitored from 2000 to present. Average tree height of the thinned plot increased from 10.9m to 13.2m and from 10.3m to 12.8m for the unthinned plot. Average D.B.H of the thinned plot increased from 15.9cm to 21.1cm and from 14.5cm to 16.7cm for the unthinned plot during the period 1998-2005. Crown density at the thinned plot increased from 81.5% to 95.0% and from 89.5% to 95.0% for the unthinned plot during the period 1998-2005. Mesopore ratio (pF2.7) of A layer soil at the thinned plot was 40.1% while that of the unthinned plot was 37.3%. Changes of mesopore ratio at unthinned plot were not associated with stand age, but those at thinned plot had increased and then decreased, showing declining of the practice effect. Average soil water content at the thinned plot were 23.7% and 22.4% for the unthinned plot. Soil watercontents at both plots have been increased with increase in stand age. But the difference of soil watercontent at each plot has been decreased, especially at the depth of 10cm.
