Large trees in the apartment complex are playing an important role to decide the quality of external environment. They are planted with the object of utilizing themselves as a landmark of the complex and enhancing space symbolism. Since planting large trees would require high maintenance costs and generate defect, it would cause decline in quality of external environment. This study researches on large trees in artificial ground of the apartment complex. This study analyzes actual condition of planting and tries to provide improvement direction of planting. In order to conduct this research, three target areas (over R30) and 265 trees are selected. Based on the drawings and specifications this study researches on the plan of landscape design, changes of field design, actual condition of completion, present condition of planting, minimum soil depth of growth and development and types of extra action for soil depth. The result shows that 85% of drawings and specifications for large trees in the apartment complex are deep-rooted tree species. On average large trees with R 35 are planted in artificial ground and there is lack of on average 65cm minimum soil depth of growth and development. Reviewing changes of field design is conducted in such limited size as mainly R30 and R40 and there is no extra plan for lack of soil depth. The plan for securing additional soil depth is done by 85% of mounding. However, since there is only 10% of satisfaction, the inappropriateness in securing additional soil is pointed out. This research also points out that the size of large trees, root characteristics and location-allocation for planting are pivotal factors for securing minimum soil depth of growth and development. This research also provides improvement direction in case of planning planting.

Growth characteristics according to mixture ratio of used-rockwool in pot nursery, in Pinus densiflora, Torreya nucifera, Quercus acutissina and Fraxinus mandshurica nursery, was investigated. The used-rockwool on mixture ratio between used-rockwool and control (peatmoss: pearlite=1:1, v/v) were 0%, 30%, 50% and 70%. Flesh weight, dry weight and height of tree, in Pinus densiflora nursery, increased much more in 50% and 70% media but trunk diameter of tree had no difference according to mixture ratio. In Torreya nucifera nursery, flesh weight and height of tree in 70% medium and trunk diameter and numbers of shoot of tree in 50% and 70% media increased. Flesh weight, height and trunk diameter of tree, and chlorophyll (SPAD) and photosynthesis rate, in Quercus acutissina nursery, increased much more in 50% and 70% media, but dry weight of tree had only difference between non-mixed and mixed with rockwool. In Fraxinus mandshurica nursery, flesh weight and photosynthesis rate of tree increased much more in 70% medium, height, trunk diameter and total chlorophyll of tree had difference according to non-mixed and mixed with rockwool or had no only difference according to mixture ratio, respectively.

마카(Maca, Lepidium meyenii Walp)는 십자화과 두해살이풀로서 페루의 안데스 산맥이 원산지이며 세계 여러 나라에서 건강기능식품, 음료 등의 가공원료로 이용되고 있다. 최근 마카의 기능성 성분이 밝혀지면서 국내에서도 재배 면적이 증가하고 있으나 연작장해, 동계 저온으로 인한 고사 등으로 인하여 생산량은 매우 저조한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 노지 환경에서 비닐피복과 지상부에 비닐 터널을 처리하여 겨울철 고사율을 줄이고 연장장해를 회피하여 마카를 안정적으로 재배하고자 실시하였다. 마카 재배는 경상북도 경산지역에서 2017년 9월 24일 파종하여 2018년 4월 30일에 수확하였으며, 처리는 비닐피복, 비닐피복+터널, 비가림하우스 및 대조구로 노지에서 무피복재배로 실시하였다. 동해에 의한 마카 고사율은 비닐피복과 노지재배에서 55.7, 79.1%였으나 비닐피복+터널과 비가림하우스에서는 3%이하로 조사되어 노지환경에서 비닐피복 후 지상부 터널설치로 동해를 방지할 수 있었다. 수확 시 마카의 생체중은 비가림하우스에서 주당 57.8g으로 가장 높았으며, 비닐피복+터널설치, 비닐피복 및 노지재배에서 각각 52.7, 21.3, 10g으로 조사되어 동계 지상부 15cm 지점의 평균온도(비가림하우스 : $3.4^{\circ}C$, 비닐피복+터널설치 : $1.9^{\circ}C$, 노지 : $-2.1^{\circ}C$)와 정의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 마카의 이용부위인 뿌리의 무게는 비가림하우스와 비닐피복+터널에서 각각 주당 15.5, 19.9g으로 조사되어 비교적 비닐피복+터널처리의 생육이 좋았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 마카는 다닥냉이속 작물로 저온경과 후 뿌리비대가 이루어지는 속성을 가지고 있으나 생육후기 고온으로 인한 지상부 생육은 뿌리비대를 저하시키는 것으로 추정되어 3월 이후 온도관리는 좀 더 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다. 노지와 비닐피복 재배에서는 뿌리의 무게가 주당 3.9, 2.7g으로 정상적인 수확이 불가능하였다. 마카를 노지에서 재배할 경우 비닐피복 후 지상부에 터널을 설치하면 연작장해 회피와 동해에 의한 고사율을 줄일 수 있어 안정적인 재배가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

The experiment was carried out to examine the effects of planting date on the growth and marketable yield of bitter gourd grown in rain-shield plastic houses. Bitter gourd cv 'Dragon' seedlings were separately transplanted during the months of June, July and August, 2015. The training method of all plants was made with four lateral vines and pinching the main vine. Lateral length of plants exhibited no significant difference between each planting date. However, bitter gourd planted in June had significantly higher main stem diameter than those treatments planted on August. The application of planting date was found effective in increasing marketable yield and number of fruits. June, as a planting date, had the highest marketable yield (6,439kg/10a), whereas bitter gourd planted in August had the lowest yield (870kg/10a) which were also consistent in terms of the number of fruits. Fruit length and diameter had no significant differences as affected by treatments. Therefore, planting date of bitter gourd in June was effective in increasing yield of fruit in rain-shield plastic house conditions.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of air humidity and water content of medium on the growth and physiological disorder of paprika in summer hydroponics. Treatments were composed of air humidity of control (over 90%) and dehumidification (low 90%) and water content of 80% and 50%. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) sensors and dehumidifier were used in a drip irrigation system and control system of air humidity, respectively. The early growth of paprika was not affected by air humidity but increased by high water content (80%) of medium. Mean fruit weight was reduced at high air humidity and low water content (50%) of medium, but the fruit number per plant and yield were increased at low air humidity. The incidence of brown fruit stem increased with increasing air humidity and water content of medium. Rate of blossom end rot increased in the low water content medium compared with the high water content medium. The nitrogen (N) was higher content in brown fruit stem than normal stem, but calcium (Ca) was lower.

To identify the appropriate irrigation level for Pinus densiflora, a common reforestation species in Korea, we investigated their growth response characteristics according to different irrigation treatment levels for producing container seedlings with relatively high growth rate for higher survival rate when planted at the reforestation site. The container seedlings including control seedlings (no irrigation was applied) were grown in 104-cell trays were irrigated for 8 weeks from 15 weeks after seeding, at intervals of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 days. Analysis of the height growth, root collar diameter growth, and dry matter production of the container seedlings according to irrigation showed that the highest growth reaction was observed for the irrigation interval of 1 day. A shorter irrigation cycle resulted in better growth of the container seedlings, but overall, longer total root length were observed with an irrigation cycle of 3 days compared with cycles of 1 or 2 days. Quality index (QI) was the highest for the irrigation interval of 1 day, and tended to decrease with increase in the irrigation interval. Thus, it was determined that irrigation at intervals of 1-2 days was appropriate for growing Pinus densiflora container seedlings.

The distribution of cryophilous arctic-alpine and alpine plants in Korea is reviewed in connection with palaeoenvironment, along with a discussion to their origins, patterns of migration, and their refugia. At present, the estimated number of Korean arctic-alpine and alpine species is 419, and this includes 75 arctic-alpine species, 239 alpine species and 105 Korean endemic alpine species. The disjunctive distribution of cryophilous arctic-alpine and alpine plants is likely to be due to first, the downslope and southward expansion of those species towards the Korean peninsula as a primary refugia from the arctic region as the Pleistocene glacial phases approached, and then their subsequent isolation upslope in mountain areas toward a secondary refugia as the interglacial and post-glacial climatic ameliorations followed; secondly, the expansion of forest tree communities on lowland and montane areas subsequent to the end of the Pleistocene has had the effect of dividing formerly high mountains as a result of the increased competition; and thirdly, the general disapperance or restriction of available habitats for arctic-alpine and alpine species because of post-glacial climatic amelioration. The existence of 139 alpine species exclusively in the north of Korea may be due to the following reasons; first, frequent exchanges of alpine floras with other neighbouring East Asian regions would have been facilitated; secondly, there are numerous high mountains available for the alpine plants to survive and prosper during the post-glacial period; thirdly, the existence of easy accesses between mountains within the north, which has enabled alpine floras to migrate when necessary; and finally, the availability of diverse environments and habitats for the alpine flora of the north. However, the continued survival of those species in Korea at the world's or East Asia's southernmost limits of their distribution for many species is in danger if global warming associated with the greenhouse effect takes place.

Crop damage is becoming increasingly prevalent because of the impact of climate change-induced abnormal weather conditions. This is particularly evident in the delayed rooting of transplanted rice, caused by insufficient solar radiation. This delay in rooting negatively affects crop growth, resulting in reduced yield and delayed development. To investigate the effects of shading and elevated temperatures during rooting stage on the early growth of transplanted rice seedlings, seedlings that had been cultivated for 15 days were transplanted into a greenhouse and subjected to varying levels of shading, including 0%(control), 34%, 44%, and 70%. The height of transplanted seedlings increased under 34% shading but decreased under 44% or more shading compared to that of the no shading treatment. As the degree of shading increased, the stem diameter and root length of the seedlings decreased significantly inhibiting growth, dry matter weight, and seedling quality. Additionally, shading increases the nitrogen content of plants because of the absence of soluble carbohydrates, thereby weakening them. The adverse effects of shading on plant growth was further exacerbated by high temperatures. These findings suggest that inadequate, sunlight and elevated temperatures during rooting stage, subsequent to transplanting, may result in delay plant development and decreased resistance of the seedlings to pests and environmental challenges. Therefore, it is essential to develop innovative cultivation management techniques during the rooting stage to improve growth outcomes.

This experiment was conducted to set ideal harvest time for itallian ryegrass (IRG) seed in reclaimed land. For IRG 'Kowinearly' variety sown in both autumn and spring, the peak growth in reclaimed land occurred in 20-30 days after heading. Plant height of IRG seedings in the spring was 90.4% of the fall-sown's plants. The yield of IRG seeds in reclaimed land was generally lower than that of farm land due to poor growth conditions. After heading, the lodging and shattering increased gradually with time. The highest yield of seed in the fall-sown trial treatment was 238 kg/10a. However, in the spring-sown treatment, the highest yield reached 169 kg/10a, which was 71% that of the fall-sown treatment. To set optimum harvesting time for IRG seed, morphological changes in the plant, moisture content of seed, and germination rate were analyzed according to time series after heading. After heading, IRG stem color had turned pink in 18 days and seed color also changed after 20 days. Following 20-25 days after heading, the seed moisture content decreased to below 55% and germination rate increased to over 90%. Therefore optimum harvesting time for IRG 'Kowinearly' variety in reclaimed land was 20-30 days after heading because germination rate and yields were high and shattering percentage was low.

This study was carried out to investigate the morphological and soil characteristics of Zoysia spp. native to South Korea. Samples [41 ecotypes of Zoysia japonica, 28 ecotypes of natural hybride between Z. japonica and Z. sinica (Junggi), 22 ecotypes of Z. sinica, and 8 ecotypes of Z. matrella] were collected in seashores, levee and summit of the rock in southern Korea. Variations in leaf width, plant height, leaf angle, length of leaf sheath, leaf trichome, stolon length, and seed shape were measured at collection sites and experimental plots. Among the entries, most of the measurements did not show any significant differences between natural and experimental plot except for leaf angle of Z. sinica and the number of seeds per spike of Z. matrella, which might be caused by different environmental conditions. Soil pH was 6.0 at the most of the collection sites. $Mg^+$ was 0.06-0.02 $cmol{_c}^+kg^{-1}$, $Mg^{2+}$ was 0.09-0.03 $cmol{_c}^+kg^{-1}$, and $K^+$ was 0.02-0.007 $cmol{_c}^+kg^{-1}$ at most zoysiagrasses growing soils.
