To investigate the effects of forest and the surrounding natural and anthropogenic sources on the bulk depositions on forested land, this study examined differences in ion concentrations between wet-only and bulk samples at two forested sites in Japan. The surrounding natural and anthropogenic sources at each site were different; Shirasaka is in a rural area and Tanashi is an urban environment. The volume weighted (vw) mean concentrations of $K^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ in the bulk samples were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those in the wet-only samples at both sites. The forest canopy and a nearby incineration plant were hypothesized to be the main sources of $K^+$ contaminants at Shirasaka and Tanashi, respectively. The transport of sea salt and urban dust may explain the presence of enriched $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations in the bulk samples at Shirasaka and Tanashi, respectively. The $NH_4{^+}$ concentrations in the Shirasaka bulk samples were significantly (p<0.05) lower than those in the wet-only samples. The vw mean $SO{_4}^{2-}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ concentrations in both sample types were not significantly different at either site. This study demonstrated that the ion concentration differences between wet-only and bulk samples were affected by nearby natural and anthropogenic sources even at forest sites, similar to previous findings for non-forested locations. However, the $K^+$ concentration differences between wet-only and bulk samples may be higher owing to forest sources, even in the absence of anthropogenic sources.

The purpose of this research is to develop the Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) for habitat environments of Aix galericulata (A. galericulata) and Dendrocopos major (D. major), which tend to inhabit urban environments. A. galericulata and D. major are the keystone species representing the ecosystem of wetlands and forests. Based on the analysis of their urban habitat environments, this study selects artificially adjustable levels of the environmental index in order to produce the HSI model, which can be used when either restoring or creating the urban habitats for these species. To develop the HSI, we conducted field surveys at Jungnangcheon Stream, Changgyeonggung, Jangneung, Bangbae Neighborhood Park, Gildong Ecological Park, and Seodalsan Mountain. These surveys were conducted between April and August 2020, and this period includes the breeding season of both A. galericulata and D. major. Based on our findings from the surveys, we conclude that there are six SI factors for A. galericulata. These include (1) the presence of alluvial islands, (2) waterfront vegetation cover rate, (3) type of aquatic plants for food, (4) size of forest patch, (5) type of trees in nearby forests, and (6) connectivity of waterfront and forest. We also conclude that there are five SI factors for D. major, which include (1) size of forest patch, (2) rate of broadleaf trees in forest patches, (3) type of nesting trees, (4) diameter at breast height (DBH) of nesting trees, and (5) density of dead trees. The result of this research can provide future studies with useful guidance when both (1) comparing the habitat suitability of the target species in different environments and (2) restoring or creating habitats for these species.

This study was carried out to create a master plan for an urban eco-forest, including concepts of forest restoration, forest management, and nature education. The concept of an urban eco-forest is different from the original eco-forest, which pursues the conservation of native species in their habitats, using the resources of special plants, etc. The study site was a hill (128m) managed as an urban natural park. Citizens have usually used the park for fitness purposes, as a place for outdoor exercise early mornings on weekdays and holidays. The result of a questionnaire survey showed that the users knew about the eco-forest, and they wanted to participate in the nature education programs. The flora and actual vegetation were weak about conservation of native species on the site. The framework of the plan consisted of development of the ecological forest and forest restoration, and allowed for recreation and the experience of nature, according to the concepts of the urban eco-forest. The landscape was divided into the experience zone of biodiversity, the experience zone of a valley ecosystem, the forest restoration zone, and the recreation and experience zone in nature. Based on this framework, detailed programs and theme areas were planned, as were forest restoration models and planting plans.

In urban area, urban forests work as an ecological center that mitigates the environmental pollution of the area. In order to maintain the ecological function of a forest, the management method should be established based on ht through investigation of the vegetation structure of the forest. In this study, the vegetation structure of Namsan in Kyungju area was investigated in order to study the ecological value of Namsan and to suggest a desirable management alternative. 21 plots were selected as survey areas. Using the TWINSPAN technique, the forest of Namsan was classified into four communities: Quercus serrata community(I), Castanea crenata-Q. serrata-Q. mongolica community(II), Pinus densiflora community(III) and P. densiflora-P. rigida-Robinia pseudoacacia community(IV). The survey results were summarized by five: 1) the distribution of vegetation showed 2) P. densiflora was the absolutely dominant species in Namsan, 3) number of the average species was 12.6$^{\circ}$$\pm$3.1, 4) number of individual was 131.1$^{\circ}$$\pm$47.8 per a plot(100$m^2$), 5) the results of annual ring analysis revealed that the age of P. densiflora in Namsan was about 3 0$^{\circ}$~60$^{\circ}$years old. From the above results, it was found out that the forest has two problems. One thing is maintenance of P.densiflora against succession, another is artificial forest dispersion. The problems of Namsan forest management will be solved with further studies related.

For the effective management of urban forest, a variety of informations on urban forest needs to be accurately measured and effectively used in decision-making processes. This study aims at developing an urban forest management system with reference to GIS and making it possible to effectively manage urban forests. A detailed forest type map were constructed with the help of aerial photograph and terrestrial inventory. A geographical map in terms of slope, aspect and altitude were also prepared by Digital Elevation Model(DEM). A soil type map containing chemical characteristics were also made through soil analysis. These thematic maps which contain informations on forest type, geography and soil were digitalized with reference to GIS, and an urban forest management system of user interface were developed. With the help of this urban forest management system, various spatial and attribute informations which need for urban forest management could be easily used in decision-making processes in relation to urban forest.

Urban forest area in South Korea has been increased up to 20.8% of national land as of 2007 by the mergence of municipalities and counties. The rate of park and green tract among urban forest averages out to about 4% nationally but the Capital, Seoul, almost 105% level, not easy to split the two. Park and green has positive management system because of its infrastructure attribute and relevant security obligation standard while urban forest left alone with no such concerns. The most important reason of the negligence comes from institutional inertia although it is possible to be managed functionally by forest laws as like forests of park, landscape, wind and noise protection, and timber product. As a results, it reaches below than 92.64% of the national average level of the timber stockpile especially in the metropolitan areas and loses broad acres rapidly due to the easy conversion system to the urban land usage. Therefore, there must be required some alternative methodologies to conserve and foster it. The paper proposes the four urban forest management types and their control methods. The four types divide into conservation, foster, development, and reservation ones. Also it suggests the five furtherance tract types with the combination among the four earlier types, optionally having one of the six aim climaxes and recommends the standardization of operation design. The total green quantity index of urban forest also suggested by the weight method according to location and DBH class. The case study of the suggested model was executed on the Daejon Metropolitan area and its index calculated as 110.4% level compared with the acreage.

본 연구는 도시생태계 보전 및 복원을 위한 기반으로 활용되고 있는 비오톱조사자료의 현장조사 정확도를 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 서울시 관악구 산림지역을 대상으로 2000년과 2005년의 비오톱 현장조사 결과를 바탕으로 인공위성영상에서 확인가능한 상록침엽수림을 추출한 후 두 현장조사결과에 기초하여 현장조사의 정확성을 검증하였다. 분석결과 현장조사에 의한 세부 현존식생의 면적비율은 시기와 조사자의 차이에도 약 92%의 높은 유사도를 보였으나, 두 조사에서 동일한 식생유형이 지리공간상 일치하는 지역은 약 60%에 불과하였다. 인공위성영상에서 추출한 상록침엽수의 위치 분석 결과 2000년 조사와는 69.4%, 2005년과는 80.0%가 일치하는 것으로 분석되었는데, 인공위성 영상 판독오류를 감안했을 때 비교적 높은 정확도를 보이고 있었다. 지금까지 비오톱조사시 현장조사에 의한 식생구분 에 대한 정확성 검증이 이루어지지 않고 수행되어 왔으나, 향후 자료의 갱신이나 신규 사업에 있어서는 정확도 검증이 무엇보다 중요하며 이에 대한 구체적 기준마련이 필요하다고 판단된다.

국내 섬 지역은 감독 부실과 관광 등으로 인해 산림 훼손이 심각한 상황이다. 한반도 서남해안 지역의 난온대 기후대원식생은 상록활엽수림이라서, 이곳을 원식생으로 복원이 바람직하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전남의 섬 지역 산지를 대상으로, 현존 상록활엽수림의 환경 요인을 분석하여 상록활엽수림 북원 적합지를 도출하였다. 이를 위해 딥러닝(deep learning) 알고리즘을 이용하여 Sentinel-2 위성영상에서 연구 대상지의 식생 유형을 6가지로 분류하였고, 분류된 식생유형의 위치 및 지형, 기후 속성을 측정하여 상록활엽수림의 내성 범위(tolerance range)를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 현존 상록활엽수림은 인간의 간섭이 적은, 고도가 높고 경사가 급한 지역에 상대적으로 높은 비율로 분포하였다. 이와 같은 인위적인 간섭으로 현존 상록활엽수림은 타 식생 유형보다 오히려 연평균기온이 낮은 곳에 분포하는 경향을 보였는데, 이는 고도가 높을수록 기온은 낮아지기 때문이다. 여러 환경 요인 중 인간의 간섭에 따른 영향을 배제하고, 상록활엽수림의 복원 적합지를 파악할 수 있는 환경 요인에는 위도와 최한월 평균기온(1월)이 있었다. 상록활엽수림 내성 범위 분석 결과, 위도 34.7° 이남, 최한월평균기온 1.7℃ 이상인 지역에 주로 생육하는 것으로 나타나, 이 조건에 맞는 지역을 상록활엽수림 복원 적합지로 예측하였다. 전남 섬 지역의 산지 중 상록활엽수림 복원 적합지 면적은 614.5km²로 전체 연구 대상지의 59.0%, 연구 대상지 중 농경지 등을 제외한 산림 식생 지역의 73.4%를 차지하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 향후 구체적인 섬 지역 산림복원계획과 예산을 수립해야 할 것이다.

도시에서 토양을 보존하고 합리적으로 이용하기 위하여 도시 토양을 과학적으로 이해하는 것이 필요하지만 아직까지 이처럼 과도하게 관리되고 교란된 토양의 특성에 대하여 집중적으로 연구되지 않았다. 본 연구에서 조사된 인천의 산림, 잔디밭, 가로수, 나지 및 포장 밑 토양에서 답압에 의한 견밀화에 의하여 토양 가밀도가 높았다. 또한 다양한 도시 토양에서 수분함량은 전원지 산림 토양에 비하여 적었고 지온은 높았다. 화학적으로는 도시 토양에서 pH가 중성에 가깝고 유기물 함량이 적었다. 도시 토양의 총세균수는 전원지 산림 토양의 단지 5∼50% 수준이었다. 단계식 다중회귀분석의 결과, 토양 유기물함량이 총세균수에 영향을 미치는 주요한 요인으로서 선정되었다. 대부분의 도시 토양에서 탈수소효소 활성도는 전원지 산림 토양과 유의한 차이가 없었으나, 아스팔트 포장 밑 토양에서는 낮았다 그러므로 견밀한 도시 토양에서 낮은 유기물함량이 물질 순환에 관여하는 미생물 수에 악영향을 미친다고 판단되었다.
