This study was tried to calculate the stumpage value using GIS technique. Before calculating this price the feasible areas to cut were divided from all forests. The stumpage value per $m^3$ was calculated by the method of calculating back from the market price, according to the working volume of logging unit and clearing a felling area using GIS. The distribution of the stumpage value for the coniferous stands was estimated from minimum 10,000 won to maximum 50,000 won, and for the deciduous stands the stumpage value was distributed from minimum 20,000 won to maximum 40,000 won. The total estimated selling price for the cutting available area (197.3ha) among this study area(250ha) except the cutting limited area was about 1.13 billions won. And the estimated selling price for the korean white pine stands was about 650 millions won, occupied 57% among the total selling price, and for the deciduous stands showed 383 millions won, occupied 34% of the total price, and for the japanese larch was 9.69 millions won, occupied 9% of the total price. But the rigida pine stands showed only 1.22 millions won.

To facilitate the sustainable forest management, Forest Service in Korea has assigned 2.9 million hectare forests as 'intensive management forests' and encouraged local governments to develop a strategic management plan for their forests. One of problems for the sustainable forest management in Korea is the skewed distribution of forest age classes. Currently the majority of forestlands in Korea is occupied by age classes III and IV. In this study, we intended to find an optimum harvest volume, which enable one to make the intensive management forest in Youngdong-Gun evenly distributed for the age classes and allow an even harvest volume through a 50 year time horizon. To develop an optimization model, we applied the goal programming technique which is adequate for a multi-purpose management planning. The results indicated that it is necessary to harvest 1.2 million cubic meters in each decade to achieve the most stable distribution of age classes for the study site. The harvest volume target resulted from this study would be used in a management planning or an associated policy making process in the future.

This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of crown fuel biomass and to develop allometric equations for the estimation of crown fuel biomass by subjectively categorized the crown component in Pinus densiflora stands. A total of ten representative trees were destructively sampled in Youngju region. Crown fuel were weighed separately for each fuel category by size class. The results of this study showed that foliar moisture content was 119% while the average crown moisture content was 105.3%. The crown fuel/total fuel loading ratio was 30%, needles and twigs with less than 1 cm diameter accounted 50.3% for its fuel/crown fuel loading ratio. Adjusted multiple coefficient of determination of suggested allometric equations ranged from 0.6846 to 0.9246 for crown fuel biomass, 0.8308 for crown volume.

Post-fire restoration can affect breeding bird communities and species compositions over a long-term period by determining pot-fire succession, and a long-term monitoring is therefore required to understand its impacts on forest birds. This study aimed to document the effects of post-fire restoration methods on breeding bird communities in three areas: unburned and two burned (nonintervention and intervention with clear-cut logging and planting) stands 13 years after the stand-replacing Samcheok forest fire at Mt. Geombong in Samcheok, South Korea. According to 108 point counts during the breeding season from April to June 2013, we found that the number of individuals, observed bird species, and species diversity index in intervention stands with clear-cut logging and planting were lower than that in nonintervention and unburned control stands. Foraging and nesting guild analysis also showed a lower abundance of foliage searchers, timber drillers, primary cavity nesters and secondary cavity nesters in intervention stands than in the other stands, while no significant difference was detected between the nonintervention and unburned stands. These results imply that an interventional restoration method may deter the recovery of avian breeding communities after forest fires, and also suggest that non-interventional restoration methods may be an effective way to benefit the species diversity and density of breeding bird communities.

오랜 기간동안 진행되는 사회간접자본 건설의 진행 상황을 관측하는 것은 대규모 공사의 종합적인 관리를 위해 필수불가결한 요소이다. 동북아 지역의 중추 공항 기능을 담당할 영종도 국제공항의 공사진행 과정을 관측하기 위하여 인공위성 영상 자료가 활용되었다. 바다위에 건설되는 공항의 특성으로 인하여 방조제 건설과 매립공사가 수행되었다. 활주로, 유도로, 여객터미널과 복합교통센터 등이 건설되었으며, 공항의 건설로 산림이 훼손되고 양식장과 염전이 매립되는 것이 관측되었다. 이러한 공항공사의 진척상태를 분석하기 위해서 시계열 Landsat TM 영상을 사용하였으며, 타 위성영상에서는 공항의 공사현황이 어느정도 분석가능한지를 가늠하기 위해서 KOMPSAT EOC, IRS-1C PAN, RADARSAT SAR 영상이 활용되었다. 시계열 Landsat TM 영상에서는 공항 부지의 매립 진척 현황과 산림의 벌채 등을 잘 분석할 수 있었다. KOMPSAT EOC 과 IRS-1C PAN 영상은 높은 공간해상력으로 건설에 사용된 가건물과 같은 세부적인 시설물을 관측할 수 있었다. 15m PAN 영상을 제공하는 Landsat ETM은 IHS 합성 후 분석하였는데, 기존의 TM 영상에서 분류하지 못했던 방조제의 도로와 성토를 구분할 수 있었다. RADARSAT SAR 영상에서는 광학영상에서 볼 수 없었던 독특한 정부 를 얻을 수 있었다.

소나무 재선충에 감염되어 고사하는 소나무의 증가는 우리나라 산림에 심각한 위협이 되고 있다. 재선충은 매개 후 고사단계에 이르기까지 진행과 확산이 빨라 감염목이 발견되면 곧바로 임내에서 벌채 및 훈증 처리해야 하며 5${\sim}$6월에 감염되어 10${\sim}$11월에 육안으로 고사를 확인할 수 있다. 재선충에 의해 소나무가 고사되는 과정에서 식생활력도가 크게 감소하며 이러한 현상은 근적외선 영역에서 분광반사의 감소를 수반한다. 따라서 본 연구는 근적외선영역의 분광감소를 이용하여 재선충 피해목의 조기진단이 가능할 수 있다는 것에 착안하여 수행하였다. 근적외선영상 취득 방법으로 휴대가 간편한 근적외선 카메라를 이용하여 재선충 피해지역의 소나무림을 5월부터 11월까지 매월 촬영하였다. 이렇게 수집된 분광반사값으로부터 식생지수(Vegetation Index: VI)의 변화를 분석하였고, VI의 감소율로부터 소나무 재선충 감염목을 조기에 발견할 수 있다는 결과를 도출하였다.

Mosquitos serve as vectors for diseases, causing inconvenience as well as a threat to human life and health. Concern about mosquitos introducing and spreading new diseases has been intensifying. We observed a variety of mosquito habitats based on land cover classification from Korea's Ministry of Environment, and the mosquito species that could appear were classified according to the each habitat type. Finally, we suggested the best control methods for each type of habitat considering habitat characteristics and the ecological traits of mosquitos. Urban areas harbor various habitats for pests, contributing significantly to mosquito habitats. Control must be performed regarding larva and adults because various sources for habitats exist. Public mosquito control programs such as educational training, as well as information brochures can be effective in managing mosquito populations and public health. Agricultural areas show high densities of mosquito larva to lentic zones such as reservoirs, wetlands, paddy fields. So, biological control using natural predators may be effective in controlling mosquito populations. Forests are major habitats for Aedes albopctus, so physical controls should be deployed for residents living nearby, and excessive deforestation should be minimized. Other areas including aquatic ecosystems should be adopted regarding biological control using Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis) and chemical control for eradicating mosquitos. We classified habitats into four types of land cover patterns considering ecological traits and habitat preference, and suggest adequate control methods for each habitat type. Our suggestion can be used to positively contribute toward effective managing mosquito's density and reducing the damage to public health.

Forests store carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), one of the major factors of global warming, in vegetation and soils through photosynthesis process. In addition, woods deposit $CO_2$ for a long term until the harvested wood is decomposed or burned, and deforested areas could be expanded the carbon sinks through reforestation. Forests are a lso able to decrease temperature through transpiration and contribute to control the micro climate in global climate systems. Consequently, forests are considered as one of major sinks of greenhouse gases for mitigating global warming. It is very important to develop a Korea specific forest carbon flux model for preparing adaptation measures to climate change. In this study, we compared the climate change impact models in forests developed in foreign countries and analyzed the applicability of the models to Korean forest. Also we selected models applicable to Korean forest and suggested approaches for developing Korean specific model.
