The ecological background of a restoration project is complex and difficult to betermine without experimentation. A useful context for experiments is the well-studied process of natural succession, because the factors that drive or inhibit succession are also at work during reclamation (a form of primary succession) and restoration (which often resembles secondary succession). Using experimental studies on urban wasteland reclamation, we have tested for factors that stimulate or inhibit succession during early phases of woodland development in the Northeastern United states. The emphasis has been on mutualisms (seed dispersal, pollination, and mycorrhizae) and microsite limitations in the recruitment, growth, and reproduction of woody plants. Using plantings of seeds, seedlings, and clusters of reproductively mature plants on abandoned landfills, we have observed that (1) soil microsite deficiencies lead to very poor germination (<0.1$\%$) and seedling survival (<0.01$\%$) of most native species; (2) seed dispersal by birds is a significant and reliable source of woody plant recruitment; however (3) proximity effects are strong, with most (up to 95$\%$) of seed rain falling in the vicinity of planted clusters that are closest to putative seed sources; and (4) remnant natural woodlands are critical components of the recruitment process. To emphasize the last point, in one case, we found that the destruction of approximately 50$\%$ of nearby natural woodland vegetation led to a commensurate decline in seed rain. In another case, we found that the species richness of recruits was strictly limited by the species composition of nearby source plant communities, with no evidence of community enrichment by long distance dispersal over 5 years. We conclude from these results that the size and proximity of remnant natural populations are critical considerations when planning reclamation and restoration programs that rely on natural successional processes.

Anatomical characters of the trunk woods of Theaceae, including six genera and seven species collected in Korea, were studied to elucidate the relationship among the genera of the family. Among three genera in Ternstoemieae, Eurya is the least specialized, and Cleyera is less specialized than Ternstroemia in respect to the specialization of the perforation plate and the ray. In Theoieae consisting of three genera, the most primitive one is Thea, and Camellia is more primitive than Stewartia in the trive, from the view of the bar arrangement in scalariform perforation plate and the angle of end wall to the vessel axis. The specialization of the perforation plate of vessel element suggests that Theoieae is more advanced group than Ternstroemieae.

Anatomical characters of secondary xylem in the trunk of Magnoliaceae, Winteraceae and Schizandraceae, including six genera and eleven species grown naturally in Korea, were studied to elucidate the relationship between genera or families. It is considered that among these families specialization in the perforation plate, the angel of end wall to the vessel axis, and diameter of vessel element, is in the order of Winteracae, Magnoliaceae, and then Schizandraceae. In Winteraceae, vessel elements have wholly scalariform perforation plates with very numerous bars. Among Magnoliaceae the peroration plates are scalariform with very numerous bars in Michelia, with few bars in Liriodendron, and with few bars or simple in Magnolia. In Schizandraceae, Schizandra shows scalariform perforation plates with few bars or simple perforation plates, and Kadsura shows almost simple ones.

Floral morphology of Magnoliaceae and Illiciaceae in Korea is investigated. Magnoliaceae has long and elongate floral axis where numerous stamens and pistils are pistils are spirally arranged, whereas Illiciaceae has short floral axis and pistils are arranged in a single whorl on the axis. The stamens are basically similar in both families; winged and broad filament, prominant connective, long sporangium, and no clear limitation between fertile and sterile parts, which are primitive characters in stamen. The ovaries are the conduplicate type, in both, with decurrent stigma, stigmatic surface confined to stylar position, and no distinct style. Magnoliaceae has one locule and two ovules, whereas Illiciaceae has one locule and one ovule. The ovule is anatropous or hemianatropus, and has bitegmic integument and crassinucellate nucellus.

Anatomical characters of the secondary xylem in roots of Lauraceae, including 6 genera and 13 species grown in Korea, were studied systematically. Lauraceors members studied anatomically possess characters of the secondary xylem that are in the main more specialized than those found in the primitive angiosperm families. The specialized characters are as follows; (1) mostly solitary pores with some radially multiples, (2) mostly simple perforation plates and partially scalariform perforation plates in all species, (3) slightly oblique end wall of vessel element, (4) predominantly alternate intervascular pitting, (5) paratracheal axial parenchyma in all species, (6) heterogeneous II or III vascular rays. It is considered that the series of specialization in this family from the perforation plates and angle of end wall to the vessel axis is as follows; MachiluslongrightarrowNeolitsealongrightarrowLinderalongrightarrowCinammomumlongrightarrowIozostelongrightarrowLitsea.

Floral structures of 11 korean lauraceous species belonging to six genera have been studied. Machilus is a primitive genus having relatively large bisexual flower, six tepals and staminodes in fourth whorl of stamen. The flowers of Neolitsea are highly reduced state as unisexual flower, six stamens arranged to three whorls and no staminode in the flower, so regared as more advanced group. Intrafamilial classification systems of Nakai (1939) and Pax (1891) are more reasonable but still have some discrepancies with results. The origin of tepals of this group has been a long controversial problem; whether the differentiation of tepals occur. Teratological study of Lindera erythrocarpa, inner tepals of this group must be originated from the staminode and outer tepals from leafy tepals. Although morphological differentiation does not sitll occur, inner and outer whorls of tepals are originated through different way.

Anatomical features and cell dimensions of the secondary xylem in the stem of the korean Lauraceas including 6 genera and 12 species were investigated under a light microscope and scanning electron microscope. Key to identification among genera or species was made from the anatomical features and systematic correlation investigated. The stem woods of Lauraceae exhibit the following characters: (1) quite evenly distributed pores (diffuse-porous wood) (2) perforation plates simple or occasionally scalariform in the latewood vessels (3) almostly 2-seriate and heterocellular rays (4) abundant paratracheal-vasicentric parenchyma (5) oil cells. Especially, the appearance of simple perforation plates suggest the Lauraceae to be more or less advanced. It is considered that the series of specialization in the Lauraceae from the perforation plates and the height of rays is as LinderalongrightarrowNeolitsealongrightarrow(Machilus, Litsea, Iozoste)longrightarrowCinnamomum, and Lindera sericea is the most pribitive in the Lauraceae.

온대 낙엽수림에서 생육초기 기온과 잎의 생장과정 사이에 관계를 규명하기 위하여, 연평균기온이 크게 다른 두 지역-남한산성과 대관령 지역-에서 1991년과 1992년의 2년간 수 종 목본식물을 대상으로 잎의 생장 즉, 엽면적과 잎의 건중량 변화를 조사하였다. 동일 수종에서 연평균기온이 5.5$^{\circ}C$ 낮은 대관령 지역의 것은 남한산성 지역의 것에 비하여 생장의 시작은 10~25일 늦으나 생장이 완료된 시기는 0~20 일 차이를 보였다. 그리고 엽면적과 잎의 건중량은 두 지역이 유사하였으나, 생육초기 비엽면적의 최대치는 기온이 낮은 대관령 지역의 것이 적었다. 동일 개체의 경우, 생장이 거의 완료된 시기의 엽면적과 잎의 건중량은 대부분의 수종에서 매년 일정하였으나 신갈나무, 노린재나무, 개벗나무, 쪽동백 등은 변이가 컸다. 남한산성 지역에서 1992년이 1991년보다 3월 하순과 4월 초순의 일평균기온이 높았고 잎이 이른 시기에 생장을 시작하였으나, 4월 중순의 일평균기온 및 잎의 생장속도는 그 반대이었다.
