Carrot cotyledon explants cultured on MS medium with 1 mg/L 2,4-D were transferred to a hormone-free solid medium overlaid with filter paper in order to elucidate the effect of simple physical treatment on the development and germination of somatic embryos. Transfer of the explants cultured for one week on MS basal medium overlaid with 3 sheets of filter paper on to MS basal medium increased somatic embryo production 2-39 times over the one week culture on medium without filter paper overlay. Maturation and germination of somatic embryos was more prominent on medium overlaid with filter paper than on medium without filter paper. The explants cultured for one week on filter paper overlay added with liquid medium showed prominent decrease in somatic embryo formation compared to filter paper overlay only. It is suggested that the filter paper overlay affected the moisture environment of the somatic embryos developing on it.

Gonggeomji, located at the outlet of intermontane basin in the upper reaches of Dong River, is known as being constructed in the late Unified Silla Dynasty. Extensive wetlands were developed before the construction of embankment at Gonggeomji and very compact silty layers were deposited during dry seasons. Paniceae was cultivated on a dry field in the basin during the early Bronze and Iron Ages. Although it is supposed that agricultural activities on a paddy and dry field prevailed during the Three Kingdoms Age, the indicating layer was not found. As the construction of the embankment, Oryza sativa as well as Paniceae were cultivated in the basin at the same time. The climates during the early Bronze are cool and Iron Ages are estimated to be generally warm. From the late Unified Silla Dynasty and middle Goryeo Dynasty when the embankment was constructed, it was still warm, and then, shows alterations between cool and warm conditions. Since the late Goryeo Dynasty, it gradually became cool.

도시화로 인한 불투수면적의 증가와 기후 변화로 인한 강우패턴의 변화 자연적 물순환 체계에 악영향을 미치며. 이를 해결하기 위하여 국내에서는 도시 내 빗물관리 및 비점오염원 저감이 가능한 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID)를 적용하고 있다. 건기시 도로, 주차장등 차량통행 및 유동인구가 많은 지역에서는 입자상 물질들이 많이 발생되어 노면에 축적되어 있다가 강우시 강우유출수를 통해 시설로 유입된다. 이로 인해 시설 내 오염물질 및 퇴적물이 축적되어 여재 공극막힘현상 및 침투율저하의 문제가 발생되어 시설 내 효율이 감소된다. 따라서, 레인가든의 장기 모니터링을 통해 시설 내 유입되는 오염물질의 성상 분석 및 시설 내부의 퇴적물 분석을 통해 LID시설 운영의 효율성 평가를 수행하였다. 모니터링은 강우시 모니터링과 건기시 집수구역, 침강지, 시설 상부, 중부, 하부 등 총 5곳에서 채취하여 분석을 수행하였다. 모니터링은 평균 선행건기 일수는 5.46±4.7 days, 평균 강우량은 14.31±11.4 mm, 평균 강우강도는 5.33±6.7 mm/hr의 강우사상에서 모니터링을 수행하였다. 시설 내 평균 유입수농도는 TSS 98.0 ± 32.7 mg / L, COD 133.6 ± 6.3 mg / L, TN 5.77 ± 4.05 mg, TP 0.54 ± 0.03 mg / L으로 분석되었다. 유입부 내 퇴적물 종류는 Sandy Clay Loam으로 나타났으며, Cr 0.36mg / kg, Cu 5.17 mg / kg and Pb 6.04 mg / kg으로 중금속의 함유량이 높은것으로 분석되었다. 퇴적물은 침강지 및 시설 유입부에서의 입자크기는 49-113㎛ 약 60%의 퇴적물이 축적되어 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. 시설 내 침강지에서 50㎛ 이상의 입자들이 여과, 흡착 및 침전으로 인하여 40% 이상의 입자들이 제거되는 것으로 분석되었으며, 50㎛ 미만의 입자들은 시설 내 중간부, 유출부에서 제거되는 것으로 분석되었다. 침강지에서 유입수 대부분의 입자상물질들이 흡착 및 여과로 인한 제거가 이루어지기에 침강지 여재부는 넓은 표면적, 우수한 흡착능 및 여과율을 고려하여 선정하영 하며, 잦은 교체를 위하여 중량성이 낮은 우드칩 등이 적당한 것으로 사료된다.

This study aims at providing basic data to objectively evaluate the areas suitable for reintroduction of the species of Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) in order to effectively preserve the Asiatic black bears in the Korean protection areas including national parks, and for the species restoration success. To this end, this study predicted the potential habitats in East Asia, Southeast Asia and India, where there are the records of Asiatic black bears' appearances using the Maxent model and environmental variables related with climate, topography, road and land use. In addition, this study evaluated the effects of the relevant climate and environmental variables. This study also analyzed inhabitation range area suitable for Asiatic black and geographic change according to future climate change. As for the judgment accuracy of the Maxent model widely utilized for habitat distribution research of wildlife for preservation, AUC value was calculated as 0.893 (sd=0.121). This was useful in predicting Asiatic black bears' potential habitat and evaluate the habitat change characteristics according to future climate change. Compare to the distribution map of Asiatic black bears evaluated by IUCN, Habitat suitability by the Maxent model were regionally diverse in extant areas and low in the extinct areas from IUCN map. This can be the result reflecting the regional difference in the environmental conditions where Asiatic black bears inhabit. As for the environment affecting the potential habitat distribution of Asiatic black bears, inhabitation rate was the highest, according to land coverage type, compared to climate, topography and artificial factors like distance from road. Especially, the area of deciduous broadleaf forest was predicted to be preferred, in comparison with other land coverage types. Annual mean precipitation and the precipitation during the driest period were projected to affect more than temperature's annual range, and the inhabitation possibility was higher, as distance was farther from road. The reason is that Asiatic black bears are conjectured to prefer more stable area without human's intervention, as well as prey resource. The inhabitation range was predicted to be expanded gradually to the southern part of India, China's southeast coast and adjacent inland area, and Vietnam, Laos and Malaysia in the eastern coastal areas of Southeast Asia. The following areas are forecast to be the core areas, where Asiatic black bears can inhabit in the Asian region: Jeonnam, Jeonbuk and Gangwon areas in South Korea, Kyushu, Chugoku, Shikoku, Chubu, Kanto and Tohoku's border area in Japan, and Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian border area in China. This study is expected to be used as basic data for the preservation and efficient management of Asiatic black bear's habitat, artificially introduced individual bear's release area selection, and the management of collision zones with humans.

급경사지의 붕괴원인은 강수량과 지형적, 지질적 원인 등이 있지만 최근 집중호우 및 홍수사상에서 많은 피해가 발생한 것에서 강수량과 급경사지 붕괴는 밀접한 상관관계를 가지고 있다. 급경사지 붕괴에 대한 많은 선행연구가 진행되었지만 특히, 강우량과의 상관성을 해석하고 기준을 지질과 지형적 특성에 대한 규명을 하고자 노력하였다. 2015년 행정안전부에서는 급경사지 지역의 주민피해를 최소화하기 위하여 주민대피 관리기준을 제시하였다. 주민대피 관리기준에는 계측기준과 강우량 기준으로 나누어 급경사지 하류지역의 주민대피를 위험단계별로 제시하였다. 그러나 최근의 강우가 급격하게 변화하고 급경사지 지역의 많은 피해가 발생하면서 주민대피 관리기준 중 강우기준의 조정에 대한 필요성이 제기되었다. 본 연구에서는 1999년부터 2020년 까지 발생한 급경사지 피해사례를 조사하여 산사태 피해지역의 강우량 자료를 수집하여 지속시간별 강우량과 1,2,3 시간에 대한 연속강우자료를 수집하여 위험단계별 주민대피 강우량을 제시하였다. 기존 2015년도 주민대피 강우기준을 산정시 분석에 적용된 지질별 강우를 고려하여 재산정하여 위험단계별 주민대피 강우기준을 산정하였다.

Owing to global warming, heat waves have become stronger in the summer, and research on improving the thermal environment of green spaces, such as urban parks, is being conducted. On the other hand, studies on improving the urban thermal environment, which is changing due to the greening pattern and the intensity of the wind, are still insufficient. This study analyzed the temperature of the green spaces on campus to understand the factors affecting the temperature changes. After investigating the covering condition and planting form of the site, factors, such as temperature, humidity, wind direction, wind speed, and illuminance, were measured. The most influential factors on the temperature distribution are evapotranspiration and wind - induced heat transfer. The other major factors affecting the temperature change were the type of cover, wind velocity/wind direction, type of planting, shade / solar irradiance. In the type of cover, the plant was classified as low temperature, and the asphalt pavement was classified as high temperature. In wind speed, instantaneous temperature was reduced by 1.2 ℃ in southern wind, 0.7 ℃ in the westerly wind, 0.4 ℃ in the north wind and 0.5 ℃ in the east wind when a wind of 3.5m/s or more was blown.

The Baekdudaegan Mountain Range is home to a wide range of organisms inhabiting the Korean Peninsula. This study monitored butterfly communities of Guryongryeong (Myeonggye-ri) and Gojingkyeong (Seobyeok-ri) from April to September in 2013 to 2014, and the results were compared with previous data to determine changes in their distribution. We found 1,098 butterflies of 65 different species in Myeonggye-ri, and 1,161 butterflies of 63 different species in Seobyeok-ri. Comparing the two regions, 13 species appeared only in Seobyeok-ri and 15 species appeared only in Myeonggae-ri. When species were ranked according to number of individuals, the top species three species were as follows: Artogeia melete (127, 11.6%), A. napi (100, 9.1%), and Papilio maackii (90, 8.2%) in Myeonggye-ri; and Libythea celtis (146, 12.6%), A. napi (134, 11.5%), and Polygonia c-aureum (69, 5.9%) in Seobyeok-ri. The number of species with fewer than three individuals each was 24 in Myeonggye-ri and 23 in Seobyeok-ri, accounting for a high percentage among the total number of species. The similarities between the two regions were relatively high, and many of the butterflies are on the Red List of Korea. Compared with previous distribution data, there were no significant changes. This consistency indicates that the butterflies of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range have been conserved well, and therefore the continuity in the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range is necessary to keep in the big picture.

We investigated the effects on soil microbial diversity and the growth promotion of red pepper resulting from inoculation with a microbial agent composed of Bacillus subtilis AH18, B. licheniformis K11 and Pseudomonas fluorescens 2112 in a red pepper farming field. Photosynthetic bacteria, Trichoderma spp., Azotobacter spp., Actinomycetes, nitrate oxidizing bacteria, nitrite oxidizing bacteria, nitrogen fixing bacteria, denitrifying bacteria, phosphate solubilizing bacteria, cellulase producing bacteria, and urease producing bacteria are all indicator microbes of healthy soil microbial diversity. The microbial diversity of the consortium microbial agent treated soil was seen to be 1.1 to 14 times greater than soils where other commercial agent treatments were used, the latter being the commercial agent AC-1, and chemical fertilizer. The yield of red pepper in the field with the treated consortium microbial agent was increased by more than 15% when compared to the other treatments. Overall, the microbial diversity of the red pepper farming field soil was improved by the consortium microbial agent, and the promotion of growth and subsequent yield of red pepper was higher than soils where the other treatments were utilized.

The numbers of multi-year droughts due to climate change are increasing worldwide. Boryeong Dam, located in Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea, was also affected by a 4-year drought from 2014 to 2017. Since traditional unilateral decision making processes to alleviate drought damage have, until now, resulted in conflicts between many of the involved groups, the need for active participation from both stakeholders and policymakers is greater than before. This study introduced Shared Vision Planning, a collaborative decision making process that involves participation from various groups of stakeholders, by organizing Water Policy Council for Climate Change Adaptation in Chungcheongnam-do. A Shared Vision Planning Model was then developed with a system dynamics software by working together with relevant stakeholders to actively reflect their requests through three council meetings. Multiple simulations that included various future climate change scenarios were conducted, and future drought vulnerability analysis results of Boryeong Dam and districts, in terms of frequency, length, and magnitude, were arrived at. It was concluded that Boryeong Dam was more vulnerable to future droughts than the eight districts. While the total water deficit in the eight districts was not so significant, their water deficit in terms of spatial discordance was proved to be more problematic. In the future, possible alternatives to the model will be implemented so that stakeholders can use it to agree on a policy for possible conflict resolutions.

The structural integrity of containment building in Nuclear Power Plants has to be verified by the ISI(In Service Inspection) because there are some variations on the structural behavior of it due to the change of the physical properties of concrete and tendon with the lapse of time. In this study, the program 'SAPONC-CANDU' which can monitor and analyze the structural behavior of the containment building with grouted tendon (CANDU-type, 'Wolsong unit-2, 3, and 4' in Korea) was developed. This program is based on the algorithm which can calculate the prediction values of the quantities of strain variation for the vibrating-wire strain gauges embedded into the concrete of the containment building under temperature and time dependent factors which are creep, shrinkage, and prestressing force. The readings of the strain gauges are used as input data for the operation of the program. And it finally provides graphically a prediction value, line and band of the quantity of strain variation for the respective strain gauges, therefore, it is thought that the site engineers are able to assess the structural integrity of the domestic containment building with grouted tendon with easy using this program.
