Forest-grown American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) is exposed to daily and seasonal light variations. Our goal was to determine the effect of understory light changes on the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II, expressed as $F_v/F_m$, and photosynthetic pigment composition of two-year-old plants. Understory light photon flux density and sunfleck durations were characterized using hemispherical canopy photography. Our results showed that understory light significantly affected the $F_v/F_m$ of American ginseng, especially during the initial development of the plants when light levels were the highest, averaging 28 mol $m^{-2}d^{-1}$. Associated with low $F_v/F_m$ during its initial development, American ginseng had the lowest levels of epoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle of the season, suggesting an active dissipation of excess light energy absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments. As photon flux density decreased after the deployment of the forest canopy to less than 10 mol $m^{-2}d^{-1}$, chlorophyll a/b decreased suggesting a greater investment in light harvesting pigments to reaction centers in order to absorb the fleeting light energy.

This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of bird communities between before and after forest fire in tropical deciduous Dipterocarp forest of Mondulkiri protected forest of the northeastern Cambodia from January to April 2009. The DBH distribution of trees were different in each DBH class. Most of the trees (> 80%) were belong to < 30 cm DBH. After the forest fire, coverage of understory layers were dramatically decreased by the fire. Total 64 species of birds were recorded, and 64 and 46 species of birds were observed before and after the fire, respectively. Observed number of individuals of bee-eaters, treepies, kingfishers, lapwings, herons, junglefowl, peafowl, prinias and warblers were decreased after the fire. The decrease of those species would be related with the change of habitat condition, such as decrease of water amount and understory coverage. For the management and conservation of junglefowls, peafowls, prinias and warblers, understory vegetation should be maintained in Mondulkiri protected forest, northeastern Cambodia.

Oceanic islands are biologically important for their unique assemblages of species and high levels of endemism and are sensitive to environmental change because of their isolation and small species source pools. Habitat destruction caused by human landscape development is generally accepted as the main cause of extinction on islands, with exotic species invasion a secondary cause of extinction, especially on tropical islands. However, secondary impacts of human development (e.g., general degradation through resource use and exotic species introduction) are understudied on temperate islands. To determine secondary impacts of human development on the understory vegetation community, 90 field sites on Ulleung Island, South Korea, were sampled during the summer of 2016. Understory vegetation was chosen as it is a proxy for ecosystem health. Diversity and percent cover of introduced, native, and endemic species were tested against proximity to developed areas and trail usage using a model selection approach. Diversity was also tested against percent cover of three naturalized species commonly found in survey plots. The main finding was that distance to development, distance to town, and trail usage have limited negative impacts on the understory vegetation community within best-supported models predicting native and introduced cover and diversity. However, endemic species cover was significantly lower on high usage trails. While there are no apparent locally invasive plant species on the island at the time of this study, percent cover of Robinia pseudoacacia, a naturalized tree species, negatively correlated with plot diversity. These findings indicate that forests on Ulleung Island are not experiencing a noticeable invasion of understory vegetation, and conservation efforts can be best spent preventing future invasions.

이 연구는 잣나무(Pinus koraiensis) 장령식재림에 대한 생태적으로 건전한 산림작업종 개발의 필요성을 인식하여 부분 벌채 후 하층 식생의 이주와 생장을 시험하였다. 1997년 당시 강원대학교 학술림의 VII영급 잣나무림에서 약 50%의 임관을 소개하는 산벌작업을 실시하고 임지정리작업을 수행하여 하층에 갱신치수가 발생하도록 유도하였다. 10년 후, 많은 활엽수가 이주 정착하여 하층림을 형성하였으며, 10개의 $10m{\times}10m$ 영구표본구를 설정하고 주기적으로 수종구성, 종다양성, 그리고 직경과 수고의 생장과 분포를 조사하였다. 임관 소개에 의해서 2007년에 22종의 교목 수종과 20종의 관목 수종에 의해서 완전 울폐된 하층식생을 형성하였다. 산뽕나무의 중요치가 29.6%로 가장 높았고, 층층나무의 중요치는 17.0%로 산출되었으며, 이어서 쪽동백나무, 갈참나무, 신갈나무, 고로쇠나무, 잣나무의 순으로 구성 비율이 높았다. 2000년에 교목 26종이 출현하면서 종다양성지수가 2.547로 가장 높았고 그 후 감소 추세를 나타내어 2007년에는 22종의 교목으로 2.220의 종다양성지수를 나타내었다. 후계림이 점차 울창해지고 생장하면서 일부 내음성이 약한 수종들이 사라짐으로서 종다양성을 낮추는 결과를 초래하였다. 2007년에 하층목 중에서 직경이 가장 큰 나무는 11.3cm의 갈참나무였고, 수고가 가장 큰 나무는 9.8m의 층층나무였다. 후계림의 직경급과 수고급에 대한 숫적 분포는 역"J"자 모양을 나타내어 전형적인 이령림 분포가 이루어진 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 울릉도 태하령의 섬잣나무-솔송나무림에서 10개의 영구방형구($10m{\times}10m$) 및 30개의 소방 형구($1m{\times}3m$)를 설치하여 임분구조, 식생조성 및 종다양성을 밝히며 종다양성 모형을 수립하였다. 섬잣나무-솔송나무 임분의 광량은 평균 $3.7mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$, 수관 열림도는 평균 8.6 %로 분석되었다. Mantel 검정 결과, 임분 상층의 구조가 장기적으로 지속되기 어려울 것으로 나타났다. 하층식생의 조성은 지상부의 구조 및 토양 나출도와 유의한 상관을 나타내었다. 중회귀분석을 통한 종다양성 모형에서 섬잣나무의 양적 요인(단면적 및 밀도) 및 숲 바닥 조건이 유의한 예측변수로 분석되었다. 섬잣나무-솔송나무림의 유지에는 비교적 큰 규모의 교란이 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 종다양성을 유지하기 위해서는 여우꼬리사초 및 큰두루미꽃과 같은 단일 군반을 형성하는 교란지 종의 확장을 제어하는 것이 필요하다.

Transport of colored papers and decomposition of leaf litter of Quercus mongolica, Acer pseudo-sieboldianum, and Kalopanax pictus were investigated on three patches differentiated by aspect and understory in a temperate hardwood forest. Two patches are represented by dwarf bamboo (Patch SS) and herbaceous plants (Patch S), respectively, Iying on a south-west-facing slope. The other patch (Patch N) is located on a northeastfacing slope with herbaceous plants. Colored papers were placed on the patches to understand the pattern of litter movement on the ground. Papers were move dispersed in Patch S than in the other two patches. Some of the colored papers placed in Patch S moved upward. The results suggest that the litter movement is affected by aspect and that the leaf litter is retained by dwarf bamboo in Patch SS. Decay constant of Q. mongolica was significantly (p＜0.05) lower than those of K. pictus and A. pseudo-sieboldianum. Decay rates of Q. mongolica were significantly different between Patches N and S and between Patches SS and S (p＜0.05). On the other hand, decay rates of the other species were not significantly different among the three patches. The results suggest that aspect and understory exert an influence on redistribution and decomposition of leaf litter and that the effects could be different among the plant species.

Phytomass, annual net production, respiration, annual gros production and litter fall were estimated in young Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) plantations reforested 1,2,3,6,9 and 11 years ago, respectivly. The estimated phytomasses in terms of allometry were 0.07, 0.44, 0.58, 13.37, 32.26 and 48.42ton/ha/yr for annual net production and those of understory with harvest method were 3.70, 4.52, 5.28, 6.72, 7.56 and 5.72ton/ha for standing phytomass and 5.01, 4.71, 5.52m 6.15, 4.51 and 2.08 ton/ha/yr for annual net production at 1,2,3,6,9 and 11 year old plantation, respectively. Although the standing phytomass of understory increased gradually until 9 years thereafter decreased, that of white pine increased suddenly from 6 years after reforestation. The ratios of the annyal net production of understory to that of white pine were 71.57, 1.48 and 0.23 at 1,6 and 11 year old plantations, respectively. The net production in calorie value for whole vegetation of the plantations, respectively. The net production in calorie value for whole vegetation of the plantations increased until 9 years thereafter decreased; i.e. 224, 221, 280, 466, 527 and 494X105 kcal/ha/yr at 1,2,3,6,9 and 11 year old plantation, respectivey. The ratio of annual net production to annual gross production of the undersoty was lower than that of the pine at the same plantation age. Efficiency of solat energy untilization for net production by the pine was lower than that by understory y\until six ear old plantation but that was vice versa over 9 year old plantation. That for gross producrion by the pine was lower than that by the unsersotry at all plantations.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of vegetation changes and structures in the buffer green zone of Sihwa Industrial Complex and propose environmental, ecological and multi-functional vegetation management directions. The density of the Pinus thunbergii decreased from $23.1trees/100m^2$ in 2006 to $9.6trees/100m^2$ in 2017 due to the influence of thinning works. Its green volume increased from $0.97m^3/m^2$ to $2.02m^3/m^2$, contributing to the improvement of the atmospheric environment and promotion of biodiversity. The density of deciduous broad-leaved trees at the top maintained at $18{\sim}21trees/100m^2$. In the areas where the understory vegetation was removed, Pueraria lobata spread as an invasive plant and disturbed the forest. In the areas where the understory vegetation was not removed, various native plant species including the Rhus javanica and Celtis sinensis were introduced and contributed to the development of a forest in a multiple structure. There was a concern with the spread of Robinia pseudoacacia which developed into understory vegetation in Pinus thunbergii forest and some canopy forest. The study proposed vegetation management directions for the back, top and front side according to the physical structure of large-scale buffer green zone formed in a long linear form and the usage characteristics of adjacent land.
