이 연구는 1988년 5월 초순부터 6월 중순까지 일본 북해도 대학 토마코마이 연습림에서 산림시업에 의한 산림구조가 다른 두 지역에서 산림환경구조와 번식조류군집과의 관계를 밝히기 위하여 이루어졌다. 조사지간의 차이를 밝히기 위한 정량적인 서식지분석과 조류군집을 평가하기 위한 세력권 도시법과 길드분석을 하였다. 우점수종은 신갈나무, 일본목련, 산벚나무, 고로쇠나무 등이었다. 임층의 피도는 상중층은 비간벌지가, 하층은 간벌지가 높았다. 조사지에서 34종의 조류가 관찰되었고 21종이 세력권을 확보하였다. 황금새, 산솔새, 박새, 섬참새, 동고비, 쇠박새가 우점종이었다. 조사지간에 번식조류의 종수는 동일하였으나 조류군집구성은 달랐다. 수동영소길드 조류 종수와 쌍수는 비간벌지에 많았으나, 지면영소길드 조류는 간벌지에서 많았다. 그리구 수관층영소길드는 조사지간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 적정한 간벌과 같은 산림시업은 모든 산림조류에 부적당한 것이 아니고 관목, 지면 영소길드와 나무와 관목, 지면채이길드에 유리한 것으로 생각되었다. 또 산림시업이 수동과 수관영소길드에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다.

Phytoseiid mites are important predators of spider mites, rust mites and many of insect pests as well. From two-year (2001-2002) survey of apple orchards in Kyoungbuk and Suwon area, 13 species of phytoseiids, 12 species of the genus Amblyseius and one species of the genus Typhlodromus were found. Among them, Amblyseius womersleyi was the most dominant followed by A. rademacheri, A. orientalis, and A. makuwa. Amblyseius rademacheri and A. makuwa were mainly found from ground vegetation. Keys to genera and species were presented with some pictorial details and ecological notes of each species. Further discussion on systematics of the family Phytoseiidae and use in apple IPM were suggested.

This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of habitat structure and bird communities between natural deciduous forest and around the road from October 2005 to August 2006 in the National Arboretum, Gwangneung, Korea. There were more larger trees and higher coverage of crown canopy in the natural deciduous forest than around the road. A total thirty seven species of birds were observed in the natural deciduous forest and twenty species were around road. The observed number of bird species and individuals, and bird species diversity index (H') were higher in the natural deciduous forest in each season. Foraging and nesting guild structures were also different. The differences of characteristics of bird communities would be related with habitat structure between both study areas.

Soraksan National Park and Odaesan National Park, that are 20.7 km apart, should play an important role as habitats and corridors for wildlife because they are located in the center of Baekdudaegan. However, landscape features such as small area, fragmentation, and geographic isolation seem to impede the proper ecological functions of these two national parks. Using GIS technique, we examined the pattern of fragmentation in these two national parks and adjacent regions (Sokcho-si, Goseong-gun, Inje-gun, Yangyang-gun, and Hongcheon-gun) encompassing a total of $4573.5km^2$ in area. We then selected the patches suitable for an endangered carnivorous species, leopard cat, based on habitat conditions, and identified the network and stepping stone among patches to enable leopard cats to migrate. Diverse roads and artificial facilities in the study area generated a total of 24,701 patches: 39 patches among these were selected as potential habitats upon considering the habitat condition such as vegetation types and minimum area for leopard cat. Three patches nearby Gyebangsan and Bangtaesan were identified as a potential network center to relieve the effects of fragmentation and isolation of the two national parks. Our results also showed that patches containing Jombongsan and Bangtaesan would act as a source patch from there leopard cats can disperse to both national parks. It is an urgent task to identify the pattern of fragmentation and the connectivity between patches in national parks and adjacent areas for wildlife conservation because almost all national parks confront land- scape problems similar to the two national parks examined in this study.

Predaceous phytoseiid mites can be important components in integrated mite management program including bio-logical control of spider mites. While conducting population study of prey-predator system in pear orchards, 6 predaceous phytoseiids were found. Amblyseius womersleyi, A. eharai, A. kokufuensi and A. finlandicus were mostly found from tree canopy. While A. rademacheri was restricted in ground vegetation, A. makuwa was equally distributed in ground vegetation and tree trunk. Some ecological information for each species was reviewed. Strate-gies for their potential utility in pest management program and future study area were discussed.

In order to investigate the response in fauna and biological communities of terrestrial insects to the vegetation encroachment on the sandbar, species composition, species diversity, functional species traits and community structure of land-dwelling insects sampled by a pit-fall trap were compared at the bare and vegetated sandbar of a typical sand-bed stream, the Naeseong Stream, Korea. Species diversity of the insects was increased but their density was decreased as the riparian vegetation encroached at the sandbar. In particular, indicator species of bare sandbar such as Cicindela laetescripta and Dianemobius csikii, were found at the bar sandbar. The insect communities were clearly classified at the bare and vegetated sandbar according to coverages of riparian plants. The food web of the bare sandbar was composed of detritus - detritivore and scavenger - predator consisted mainly of Coleoptera. On the other hand, the food web of the vegetated sandbar was composed of plants - sucking and chewing herbivore - parasitoid and predator. These results showed that biodiversity of terrestrial insects was increased, food web was changed from grazing to detritus food chain, and insect fauna specific bare sandbar disappeared as the riparian vegetation invaded on the sandbar of a sand-bed stream.

This study was executed to know the effect of the habitat size on huanren brown frog (Rana huanrensis) larvae's growth. We've conducted the study on Mt. Surak in Sanggye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul. Our study site was discriminated the huanren brown frog larvae's habitat into the three different areas, such as small area (S1, $3.91m^2$), middle area (S2, $4.42m^2$), and large area (S3, $38.37m^2$) in the same water channel. We measured two times per a week the 15 huanren brown frog larvae's body length, and developmental stages (foreleg, hind leg, tail length) including the environmental factors (humidity, air temperature and water temperature) of the study site from March 30 to June 28 in 2016. The only hatching rate was measured for the three egg sacs at the S2 study site. We found that the average hatching rate was $76.84{\pm}18.23(%)$ at S2. Generally, because of less precipitation during our study periods, all habitat areas for our study site were gradually decreased. The middle area, S2, was not reduced, the small area, S1, was reduced more than a fourth, and the largest area, S3, was drastically reduced more than half from initial area. There was no statistically difference among the three study sites for the three environmental factors (average humidity, average air temperature, and average water temperature) by F-test, but there were significant difference among the three site for the larvae's body length (F-test p< 0.05). Therefore, the larger of habitat areas, the larger of the larvae length as well as the faster of the larvae's developmental stages. When we measured the body lengths of immature huanren brown frogs, the immature frog of S1 was smallest, the immature frog of S3 was middle lenght, and the immature frog of S2 was largest. There were statistically different among the three study sites for the immature huanren brown frogs (F-test, p< 0.05). Because the S2 study site was relatively stable without rarely changing the study area, it meant that huanren brown frog was sensitive to habitat areas. Based on the results of this study, if we study on the effect of the altitude on the growth rate of huanren brown frog, it must be helpful in understanding the habitat environment of the population of huanren brown frog.

These surveys were conducted for the purpose of fundamental data of environmental ecology to save the damage of the fieldmice at the National Park of Mt. Jiri, shown especially in the 5 areas of Jang-dang, U-pyung, Jung-san-ri, Sea-seok and Dae-sung area from October, 1983 to September, 1984 during which the fieldmice were very active. The results were summarized as follows; 1) Fieldmice observed were 3 species: Clethrionomys rufocanus regulus, Apodemus speciosus peninsulae and Apodemus agrarius coreae. 2) Types of fieldmice hole were of 5 types; around the roots of trees, at fallen trees, between rocks and the ground, on the surface of the slope ground, on the surface of the ground. The holes were found mostly around the trees (33.2%). 3) Inhabitant ratio was the highest at Dae-sung area (22.6%). Breeding was the most active in July. 4) Females found in July at Sea-seok area were the most in the number (6.6%). Males found at U-pyung area were the most in July in the number, at Sea-seok area in May, at Dae-sung area in July (5.4%). 5) The weight ranged between 20.3g and 57.4g. Clethrionomys rufocanus regulus was the heaviest (37.8g), Apodemus speciosus peninsulae the next and Apodemus agrarius coreae the highest. The heaviest were those found at Dae-sung area.

Rock composition of the Hwangsang-dong Granite Standing Sculptured Buddha (Treasure No. 1122) in the Kumi City is biotite-hornblende granodiorite which consists of about 30 pieces of individual rock blocks of same compositions. However, the cap rocks is pebble-bearing coarse sandstone. Rock blocks of the Standing Buddha and surrounding out crops occur well developed several joint systems of $N25^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}W$ strike and nearly vertical (70 to $85^{\circ}SE$) dipping. Rock blocks of the Standing Buddha showed vertical, horizontal and oblique joints, and those blocks are well supported by individual blocks. However, the junction part of the blocks are under dangerous situation due 10 seriously mechanical and chemical weathering. Host rock of the Standing Buddha belongs to the HW grade, therefore mostly rock-forming minerals of the granodiorite Standing Buddha altered with clay and iron hydroxide minerals by mineralogical and chemical weathering. Near surface of the Standing Buddha show spore and mycelium of green algaes, and a joint plane alive with weeds. We suggest that if structural stability for the Standing Buddha remove essentially a unstable rock blocks from the main body, and the main body necessitate supporting by rock bolting method because of repeated unstability and minimizing stress to the rock blocks. For the opened joint planes, fractured surface and alive weeds will attempt to fill in a petro-epoxy, petro-filler and biochemical treatments for the algaes, and ground water curtain and wall seems to be necessary for water flow and diminishing humidity of the Standing Buddha.
