This study was aimed at searching for the wintering Cd hyperaccumulators as the life cycle of existing hyperaccumulators were mostly from spring to early winter season. The wintering hyperaccumulators can be effective for saving time loss during the winter. A pot experiment was conducted to search for hyperaccumulators through out the native wintering plants. Seven species of native wintering plants were applied; Bromus catharticus, Oxatis corniculata, Festuca rubra, Thlaspi. arvense, Agastache rrgosa, Viola seoulensis, and Patrinia rapestris. Among them, Bromus catharticus and Thlaspi arvense were selected as Cd hyperaccumulators; the two plants accumulated 112.35 and $86.69mg\;kg^{-1}$ of Cd in the shoot, respectively.

The recovery of vegetation in the burned area after forest fire was investigated in Mt. Sirubng, Jinju city, from 1994 to 2000. The floristic composition of a burned area was 37 kinds in 2000. The life from spectra of six sites showed H-D1-R5-e type. This type is similar to the life form which has been usually showed in most of burned areas. Total diversity index of six burned sites showed 2.135 (1996), 3.784 (1998), and 2.948 (2000). whereas, total diversity index of six unburned sites was 2.642 (1996), 2.516 (1998), and 2.723 (2000). Evenness index of six sites showed 1.816 (1996), 2.641 (1998), and 1.925 (2000). The dominant index of burned and unburned areas were 0.012 and 0.250 (1996), 0.031 and 0.261 (1998, and 0.110 and 0.275 (2000), respectively. The degree of succession in the unburned area gradually increased and the burned area was recovered to be similar to the unburned area after three years.

Forest fires in Korea, having forest coverage of 70%, have kept increasing in number and scale since the middle of 1990's. Although deposited fallen leaves in forests such as herbaceous plants, conifers, and broadleaf trees are used as a medium for forest fires, the pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of the various species of trees are hardly studied. Oriental oak is the representative broadleaf tree in domestic forests, and pyrolysis and combustion of oriental oak leaf were carried out by thermogravimetic analysis (TGA). The leaf of oriental oak was ignited at $239^{\circ}C$ whereas pyrolysis started at $250^{\circ}C$. The corresponding kinetic parameters including activation energy and pre-exponential factor were determined by differential method over the degree of conversions. The values of activation energies for pyrolysis were increased as the conversion increases from 10% to 80%, whereas those of values were decreased during combustion.

The genetic diversity and population structure of Potentilla freyniana in Korea were determined using genetic variations at 19 allozyme loci. Thirteen of the 19 loci (68.4%) showed detectable polymorphism. Genetic diversity at the population level was high ($H_{EP}$ = 0.270). Total genetic diversity values ($H_T$) varied between 0.190 and 0.584, giving an average overall polymorphic loci of 0.371. The interlocus variation of genetic diversity within populations ($H_S$) was high (0.354). On a per locus basis, the proportion of total genetic variation due to differences among populations ($G_{ST}$) ranged from 0.008 for Fe-2 to 0.310 for Gpi with a mean of 0.065, indicating that about 6.5% of the total allozyme variation was among populations. Wide geographic ranges, perennial herbaceous nature and the persistence of multiple generations are associated with the high level of genetic variation in P. freyniana. The estimate of gene flow based on $G_{ST}$, was high among Korean populations of P. freyniana (Nm =3.57). Although P. freyniana usually propagated by asexually-produced ramets, I could not rule out the possibility that sexual reproduction occurred at a low rate because each ramet may produce terminal flowers.

The genus Hemerocallis (family Xanthorthoeaceae) is a herbaceous species, some of which are very important in herbal medicines. We evaluated the rps16-trnK region of the chloroplast DNA of a representative sample of eight taxa in Korea to estimate phylogenetic relationships within the taxa of this genus. Due to differences in the number of inserted nucleotides, the aligned data for Hemerocallis ranged from 729 (H. aurantiaca) to 742 nucleotides (H. fulva var. kwanso), with a mean of 736. Although several small indels and 20 inserts were present, sequence variation within the Hemerocallis genus was mostly due to nucleotide substitutions. All rps16-trnK trees generated in Korea exhibited a well-solved topology, with high bootstrap support, irrespective of the methods (parsimony) and the setting used. The node of H. minor and H. littorea was strongly supported, with a high bootstrap value in three trees, and these two taxa were sistered with H. thunbergii. The number of chromosomes was not congruent with that found in a previous study with RAPD, but the number was in agreement with the results of this study.

Starch gel electrophoresis was used to estimate genetic diversity and population structure of Pyrola fauriena H. Andr. in Korea. The percentage of polymorphic loci within enzymes was $57.1\%$. The values of genetic diversity at the species level and at the population were higher than average values for herbaceous with similar life history traits (Hes : 0.149; Hep = 0.134, respectively), whereas the extent of the population divergence was relatively low $(G_{ST}=0.082)$. $F_{IS}$, a measure of the deviation from random mating within the 12 populations, was 0.298. An indirect estimate of the number of migrants per, generation (Nm = 2.81) indicates that gene flow is moderate among Korean populations of the species. Analysis of fixation indices revealed a substantial heterozygosity deficiency in some populations and at some loci. This indicates that some populations sampled may have been substructured largely due to rhizotamous spread and decrease of population sizes.

Since the mid-1990s, the number of fires continue to increase and the size has been also larger. However, the pyrolysis and combustion characteristics of the various species of the medium such as fallen leaves, herbaceous plants, conifers and broadleaf trees have scarcely been studied. In this paper, we investigate the pyrolysis and combustion of the typical domestic needle-leaf tree of Pinus densiflora and thinning-out tree by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Pinus densiflora was ignited at $200^{\circ}C$ and pyrolysis from $230^{\circ}C$. In case of thinning-out tree was ignited and pyrolysis at $180^{\circ}C$ and $205^{\circ}C$, respectively. The values of activation energy for pyrolysis were increased as the conversion efficiency increasing from 10% to 80%, whereas the values was decreased during combustion.

고려인삼(Panax Ginseng C. A. Meyer)은 오갈피나무과(Araliaceae) 인삼속(Panax)에 속하며 4-6년 동안 그늘진 곳에서 재배되는 다년생 초본식물이다. 인삼은 현재 우리나라뿐만 아니라 중국, 일본, 미국, 캐나다, 소련 등지에서 재배되고 있으나 우리나라 인삼은 "고려인삼"이라는 별칭으로 유통되고 있다. 이것은 고려인삼이 다른 인삼보다 월등히 품질이 우수하기 때문으로 판단하고 있다(고 등,1994). 인삼제품중 원형을 유지하는 건조제품으로는 홍삼, 백삼, 태극삼 등이 있으며 그동안 홍삼류는 국가 전매사업 대상으로서 한국담배인삼공사에서 조제, 가공 판매를 하였으나 1998년부터는 일반인도 취급이 가능하게 되었다. 홍삼은 원료수삼을 약 9$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 증기로 증삼하기 때문에 이 과정에서 매우 유용한 약용 물질이 생성되는 것으로 알려져 있어 백삼보다 가공비는 높으나 가격이 매우 높기 때문에 일반 인삼가공업자들이 홍삼제조를 선호하고 있다 또한 동남아나 중국 등지에서 고려 홍삼을 선호하기 때문에 더욱 그러한 경향이 나타나고 있다.
