This study analyzed the relationship between the geomorphic factor and changes in forest types of the Chungnam coastal area using ASTER DEM and multi-temporal satellite imagery. The results showed that in case coniferous forests vary by altitudinal segments, reduction rate continuously increased up to 500m, but dropped upon exceeding 550 meters. Next, the variation rate of mixed forests by altitudinal segments decreased from less than 50m. However, the variation rate of mixed forests increased from more than 50m to 700m, but dropped upon exceeding 700m. Lastly, the variation rate of deciduous forests according to altitudinal segments increased at all altitudes. A sharp increase was found in segments of more than 550 meters. With regard to the changes in the distribution area of forest types according to slope aspects, coniferous forests showed a reduction in all slope aspects. The reduction rate was especially higher in northern, northwestern, western and northeastern aspects. Mixed forests manifested a high growth rate in northwestern, northern and western aspects, but slightly decreased in eastern and southeastern aspects. In addition, deciduous forests increased in all slope aspects, but the growth rate was especially high in eastern, southeastern, northeastern and southern aspects.

In this research, forest cover distribution change, forest volume and carbon stock in Yongin-city, Gyeonggi procince were estimated focused on the forest of Yongin-City using forest type map and HyTAG model in relation to climate change. Present forest volume of Yongin-city was estimated using the data from $5^{th}$ Forest Type Map and Korean National Forest Inventory (NFI). And for the future 100 years potential forest distribution by 10-year interval were estimated using HyTAG model. Forest volume was also calculated using algebraic differences form of the growth model. According to the $5^{th}$ Forest Type Map, present needleleaf forest occupied 37.8% and broadleaf forest 62.2% of forest area. And the forest cover distribution after 30 years would be changed to 0.13% of needleleaf forest and 99.97% of broadleaf forest. Finally, 60 years later, whole forest of Yongin-city would be covered by broad-leaf forest. Also the current forest carbon stocks was measured 1,773,862 tC(56.79 tC/ha) and future carbon stocks after 50 years was predicted to 4,432,351 tC(141.90 tC/ha) by HyTAG model. The carbon stocks after 100 years later was 6,884,063 tC (220.40 tC/ha). According to the HyTAG model prediction, Pinus koraiensis, Larix kaempferi, Pinus rigida, and Pinus densiflora are not suitable to the future climate of 10-year, 30-year, 30-year, and 50-year later respectively. All Quercus spp. was predicted to be suitable to the future climate.

Here we aimed to classify the major coniferous tree species (Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis, and Larix kaempferi) by tree measurement information and machine learning algorithms to establish an efficient forest management plan. We used national forest monitoring information amassed over nine years for the measurement information of trees, and random forest (RF), XGBoost (XGB), and light GBM (LGBM) as machine learning algorithms. We compared and evaluated the accuracy of the algorithm through performance evaluation using the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score of the algorithm. The RF algorithm had the highest performance evaluation score for all tree species, and highest scores for Pinus densiflora, with an accuracy of about 65%, a precision of about 72%, a recall of about 60%, and an F1 score of about 66%. The classification accuracy for the dominant trees was higher than about 80% in the crown classes, but that of the co-dominant trees, the intermediate trees, and the overtopper trees was evaluated as low. We consider that the results of this study can be used as reference data for decision-making in the selection of thinning trees for forest management.

This is a case study to research the environmental changes that occurred during the Latter Half of the postglacial age around the Basin of Onyang River in Asan, Korea. In line with this purpose, the author performed a pollen analysis and a radiocarbon dating on the deposits of alluvial fan around the upper Geumgok River, a tributary of Onyang River. Sampling point was at the altitude of about 67.5 meters, which belongs to the central zone of the cool temperate forest. The followings are the results of the study. The study area has passed through SC-I (the coniferous forest period in which Pinus was dominant), SC-II (the deciduous broad-leaved forest period in which Quercus and Castanea were dominant) and SC-III (the mixed conifer and deciduous broad-leaved forest period, in which Pinus, Quercus and Ulmus/Zelkova were dominant) respectively since about 3,000 yrB.P. SC-I period and SC-II period are presumed to be between about 3,000 and 2,000 yrB. P., and SC-III period to begin after 2,000 yrB.P. In comparison with the nationwide pollen zone during the postglacial age, SC-I and SC-II periods are contrasted with the R-IIIa zone and also the SC-III zone with the RIIIb zone. In addition, it is assumed that Pinus densiflora forest luxuriated there since 2,000 yrB.P. due to the destruction of forests, and that a lot of Fagopyrum pollen appeared; altogether, it was the so-called human interference period, from which forests began to be markedly destroyed. It is concluded that in those days inhabitants leaded agricultural life.

$CO_2$ 20세기 초 천연 냉매 $CO_2$는 광범위하게 사용되었지만 프레온계 냉매의 출현으로 1940년경부터 $CO_2$냉매는 사용이 제한되었다. 그러나 반 세기 동안 사라졌던 $CO_2$냉매는 1980년 후반에 노르웨이 과학 기술대학 (NTNU)과 북구 최대 민간연구소 (SINTEF)의 Lorentzen 교수에 의해 $CO_2$천연 냉매 사용을 재고하게 되었다. 프레온계 냉매의 환경적 논쟁이 쟁점이 되면서 천연 냉매 사용을 재고하게 되었다. 특히 비가연성과 비유독성으로 인한 $CO_2$냉매가 주목을 받고 있다. 초월임계 사이클레서의 고압 제어에 대한 새로운 개념은 Lorentzen 교수와 동료 연구원에 의해서 특허로 제안되었다. 이에 대한 상업적 권리를 Norsk Hydro사는 1990년에 얻었고,1990년대 초반에 NTNU/SINTEF의 공동 연구개발 프로그램을 통해 기술 경쟁력과 실현 가능성이 검증되었다. 현재 연구소에서는 최초로 초월임계 $CO_2$사이클을 이용한 상업용 온수 열펌프 시스템, 2003년 시작할 연료전지 전기 자동차에 대한 연구를 수행하고 있다.

The patterns of isoperoxidase in needle-leaves of 23 species of the genus Pinus were analyzed by means of starch gel electrophoresis. Each species had a unique band pattern. In all, 56 isoperoxidase bands were identified, of which 9 to 35 isoperoxidase bands were possessed by single species. No single band was common to all Pinus species but when band patterns were grouped into 7 types, type II was considered to be the specific to genus Pinus. The results of this experiment indicated that various Pinus species had their more or less specific band patterns of peroxidase.

Extracts from bark have been studied with a view to producing water-proof wood adhesives. Lately many softwoods, such as radiata pine from New Zealand and larch from Siberia, Russia, have been imported and utilized, and their residual barks would be expecting as potential raw materials for something useful chemicals. The great effort toward utilization of bark extractives as a chemical feedstock has been made on a worldwide level. However few report has been done for the utilization of tree bark extractives in Korea. Hot-water extracts were prepared from barks of Japanese larch(Larix leptolepis). Siberian larch(Larix gmelinii) and Radiata pine(Pinus radiata). The effect of various factors, such as particle size, liquor ratio, extraction temperature, and reaction time, on the extractive yields was discussed. Particle sizes affected the hot-water extractives: the finer the particle size, the higher extractives and extract efficiency. Higher temperature and higher liquor ratio were more effective. Extractives from Japanese larch were relatively less than those from Siberian larch and Radiata pine barks. Formaldehyde precipitates was the highest in extractives of Radiata pine barks. It could be concluded that Siberian larch bark was the best raw material for tannin adhesives, because its extractive yield was higher than those of the other barks.

To evaluate the natural decay durability of valuable domestic softwoods which are used for preservative treatment in our country, we carried out decay test by European standard method. Of all test wood species, Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis) showed slightly high natural decay durability compared to other 4 wood species, Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora), pitch pine (Pinus rigida), Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), and scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). However, all of evaluated domestic softwood species in this study caused high weight losses over about 30% in heartwood by test fungus, Poria placenta. We can hardly expect a good natural decay durability from these softwood species. According to the classification of the natural durability of European standard (EN 350-1), they are classified into "Not durable" or "Slightly durable". Therefore, if using these softwoods as exterior materials, we must do preservative treatment to ensure durability.

This study has been focused on the evaluation of domestic softwood timbers to replace imported timbers for woodcrafts and furniture-making. Figures on radial and tangential sections were observed with naked eyes. As the result of study on the figures appeared on the wood surface of 6 species of trees, flat grain and edge grain were clearly found from Taxus cuspidata. Juniperus chinensis and Ginkgo biloba had wavy grain figure and pigment figure, and blister figure was found in Pinus densiflora, Larix kaempferi showed pitch streak and irregular figures on its tangential section due to growth abnormalities. Wavy grain figure appeared weakly on near knot of Pinus koraiensis. The characteristic figures shown from each species of trees are expected to be used for crafts, sculptures, furniture, and interior decoration. They are also considered to have great potential to substitute imported timber sufficiently, which are currently used a lot for wood crafts and furniture-making.
