This study was carried out to select proper species for early stage replantation in granite forest roads cut-slope. From two to sixteen year elapsed forest roads in four regional areas of Gangwon-do, sample plots were selected, and their vegetations and environmental factors were investigated. Soil organic matter, total nitrogen, soil moisture content, and bulk density in the decomposed granite soils were below 1.32%, 0.08%, 10.0%, and above 1.24g/$cm^3$, respectively. The result indicated that the soil was not good for plant growth. The environmental factors affecting distribution of species in the granite forest roads were the elapsed year, cut-slope, elevation, and cut-slope aspect. Species with high frequency in the granite forest road cut-slope ordered Lespedeza bicolor, Rubus crataegifolius, Pinus densiflora, Lysimachia clethroides, Amorpha fruticosa, Dactylis glomerata, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, Festuca arundinacea, Spodiopogon sibiricus, Artemisia stolonifera, and Weigela subsessilis. Herbs seeded in earth stage such as Dactylis glomerata, Lolium perenne, and Festuca arundinacea had changed into perennial herbs such as Carex lanceolata, Poa sphondylodes, Patrinia villosa, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Spodiopogon sibiricus, Melica onoei, Artemisia keiskeana, Artemisia stolonifera, Astilbe chinensis var. davidii, Spodiopogon sibiricus, and those had changed into shrubs such as Rubus crataegifolius and Weigela subsessilis, and those had changed into trees such as Salix hulteni, Salix koreensis, and Fraxinus rhyncholhylla according to elapsed year of forest roads. Legumes such as Lespedeza sp., Pueraria thunbergiana, Amorpha fruticosa, etc., herbs such as Artemisia keiskeana, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, Artemisia stolonifera, Astilbe chinensis var. davidii, Spodiopogon sibiricus, Miscanthus sinensis, etc., and woody plants such as Pinus densiflora, Rubus crataegifolius, Weigela subsessilis, Zanthoxylum schinifolium, Rhododendron mucronulatum, etc., with foreign herbs were considered as proper species for replantation in granite forest road cut-slope.

Several regenerated plants were obtained from anther culture of the hybrid lines of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) X Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). When the anthers of the hybrid plants were incubated for 20 days on callus induction medium, MS medium containing 30 g/$\ell$ of sucrose, 2 mg/$\ell$ of NAA and 1 mg/$\ell$ of kinetin, their calli were induced. The mean ratio of callus induction was 11.6 percent, and the mean of callus weight was 9.1 mg/callus/anther. When the calli of the hybrid plants were incubated for 50 days on plant regeneration medium, MS medium containing 30 g/$\ell$ of sucrose, 1 mg/$\ell$ of NAA and 2 mg/$\ell$ of kinetin, the hybrid plants were regenerated. The mean ratio of plant regeneration was 27.1 percent and line Hyb-1 showed highest regenerabillity with the frequency of 30.2 percent.

In an effort to optimize tissue culture conditions for genetic transformation of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), an efficient plant regeneration system from seed-derived calli was established. MS medium containing 6 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and 0.1 mg/L benzyladenine (BA) were optimal for embryogenic callus formation from mature seed and had a strong effect on successive plant regeneration. The plant regeneration frequency above 50% was observed when embryogenic calli induced in this medium were transferred to N6 medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D and 3 mg/L BA. Among several basic media, MS and N6 medium were optimal for callus induction and plant regeneration, respectively. 'Kentucky-31' showed to have high frequencies of embryogenic callus induction and plant regeneration up to 58.3 and 50%, respectively. Addition of sucrose to the regeneration medium as a carbon source increased regeneration frequency up to 55%. A short tissue culture period and high-frequency regeneration system established in this study will be useful for molecular breeding of tall fescue through genetic transformation.

The armyworm, Pseudaletia separata was occurred suddenly in a golf club in Namhae, Gyeongnam province in 2013. Thus, pathogenicity of seven species of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema carpocapsae GSN1 strain, S. glaseri Dongrae strain, S. longicaudum Nonsan strain, S. monticolum Jiri strain and S. siamkayai, Heterorhabditis sp. Gyeongsan strain, and H. bacteriophora Hamyang strain) was evaluated against armyworm on tall fescue in pot and golf course to control this pest environmentally friendly. The pathogenicity against P. separata larvae was significantly different depending on nematode species. The corrected mortality of fifth instar of P. separata was 100% in the treatment with S. carpocapsae GSN1 in 7 days in tall fescue pot. However, there was not different in the mortality of fifth instar of P. separata (80 to 100%) at the rate of 385 to 6,160 infective juveniles (Ijs) ($=2.5{\times}10^2$ to $4{\times}10^5Ijs/m^2$) of S. carpocapsae GSN1 strain in each pot. Corrected mortality of P. separata was 65 and 60% at the rate of $10^5Ijs/m^2$ of S. carpocapsae GSN1 and S. longicaudum Nonsan strain, respectively in the tall fescue of golf course.

To find out the productivity of temperate grasses on the south and north slope, a field experiment was conducted with five forage species of Cactylis glomerata, Festuca arundinacea, Phleum pratense, Agrostis gigantea and Trifolium repens. It was treated by randomized block design with 4 replications and lasted from September, 1983 to October, 1986 in Suweon. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. During the vegetative period for three years, the mean surface temperature and soil temperature at a depth of lOcm on the south exposure were 2.0^{\circ}C$ and 0.8^{\circ}C$ respectively higher than that of north slope, but the soil temperature between exposures were practically not different in the mid-summer season. 2. Early growth and development of forage species on the north exposure were better than that of species on the south slope. 3. Average DM yield of grasses on the north slope was much more increased than that of species on the south, however, Trifolium repens was more positive in the south. 4. Otherwise average DM yield of Dactylis glomerata and Festuca arundinacea on the north slope was a little more increased, that of Phleum pratense and Agrostis gigantea was much more increased than that of same forage species on the south.

This study aims to classify the biotope types based on the vegetation community in built-up areas by different land use and to map the plant communities. By classifying biotopes according to a taxonomic system, the characteristics of a biological community can be well-represented. The biotope classification indexes for the target area include human behavioral factors such as land use intensity, land-use patterns and land-cover types. The type classification was divided into four hierarchic ranks starting with Biotope Class, next by Biotope Group and Biotope Type and lastly by Biotope Sub-Type. The Biotope Class was first divided into two areas: the areas improved by humans and the areas unimproved by humans. The improved areas were again divided into permeable and non-permeable regions on the Biotope Group level. In the Biotope Type level, permeable paving areas were divided into areas with wide gap pavers and those with narrow gap pavers. The differential species of each biotope type are Lindera glauca, Conyza canadensis, Mazus pumilus, Vicia tetrasperma, Crepidiastrum sonchifolium, Zoysis japonica, Potentilla supina and Festuca arundinacea. The results of this study suggest that the biotope classification methodology, using a subjective phytosociological approach, is a useful and valuable tool and the results also suggest the possibility of applying more objective and scientific methods in mapping and classifying various environments.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of root zone cooling on growth and quality of turfgrasses including Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.‘Nuglade’), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.‘Accent’), tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.‘Pixie’), and Japanese lawngrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) in simulated athletic field during summer season in Korea. Mineral contents in clippings of turfgrasses grown at different soil mixtures and temperatures were also analyzed. Root zone cooling (approximately 4~6$^{\circ}C$ lower than that of untreated-control) resulted in good uniformity, little disease incidence and higher level of chlorophyll contents in cool-season turfgrasses. The effectiveness of root zone cooling in protecting disease incidence from high temperature stress was the most manifest in perennial ryegrass compared to others. Fresh clipping weight in treatment of root zone cooling was increased approximately 2 times in Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass, and 2.5 times in tall fescue compared to those of control. There was higher growth rate in a soil mixture composed of 80% peat moss ＋10% sand ＋10% soil (v/v/v) than in that of 80% pea moss ＋20% sand (v/v), Mineral contents of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg in clippings of three species of cool-season turfgrasses were significantly increased in treat-ment of root zone cooling but this was not found in Japanese lawngrass. Results showed that root zone cooling has a benefit in keeping good quality and growth of cool-season turfgrasses in sports field under supraoptimal ambient temperature during summer season.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of porous grass block. For the investigation, Festuca arundinacea and Zoysia japonica 'Zenith' were planted, and the volume of evapotranspiration and remains were examined based on different materials in the water tank in the experiment of Festuca arundinacea, the volume of water storage of treatment with perlite ($10.84{\iota}/m^2$) was higher than that with drainage ($7l/m^2$). The difference between the two was $3.84/m^2$. The drainage treatment without water storage capacity showed the higher degree of dryness in turf grass. The volume of evapo-transpiration of treatment with perlite was the highest (21.57mm/week). The volume of evapotranspiration of treatment with sand was 19.57mm/week, and with treatment with drainage was 18.24mm/week. Based on the measured volume of daily evapotranspiration of $2.60{\sim}3.08mm\;d^{-1}$, it was determined that the unit with water storage capacity would store water of one to two days usage compared to unite without such storage capacity. In the experiment of Zoysia japonica 'Zenith', the volume of water storage of treatment with perlite was $10.77l/m^2$ which was similar to the former experiment. The volume of evapotranspiration of treatment with perlite and sand were 21.64mm/week and 20.64mm/week, respectively. In case of airtight water tank, the volume was measured as 22.06mm/week. Each treatment has no notable difference in the volume of evapotranspiration. In conclusion, from the investigation in this study, porous grass block with water tank was found to be effective in plant growth under low irrigation. As the ecological area ratio and vegetated porous pavement have became more emphasized, additional study of rain infiltration and reservoir effect are needed in the future.

CH₄-oxidizing and N₂O-reducing bacterial consortia were enriched from the rhizosphere soils of maize (Zea mays) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). Illumina MiSeq sequencing analysis was performed to comparatively analyze the bacterial communities of the consortia with those of the rhizosphere soils. Additionally, the effect of root exudate on CH₄ oxidation and N₂O reduction activities of the microbes was evaluated. Although the inoculum sources varied, the CH₄-oxidizing and N₂O-reducing consortia derived from maize and tall fescue were similar. The predominant methanotrophs in the CH₄-oxidizing consortia were Methylosarcina, Methylococcus, and Methylocystis. Among the N₂O-reducing consortia, the representative N₂O-reducing bacteria were Cloacibacterium, Azonexus, and Klebsiella. The N₂O reduction rate of the N₂O-reducing consortium from maize rhizosphere and tall fescue rhizosphere increased by 1.6 and 2.7 times with the addition of maize and tall fescue root exudates, respectively. The CH₄ oxidization activity of the CH₄-oxidizing consortia did not increase with the addition of root exudates. The CH₄-oxidizing and N₂O-reducing consortia can be used as promising bioresources to mitigate non-CO₂ greenhouse gas emissions during remediation of oil-contaminated soils.

외래잡초인 애기수영(Rumex acetosella)는 생태계 교란종으로 생물다양성을 감소시키고, 우리나라 목초지에 우점하고 있어 큰 문제를 야기한다. 애기수영의 경우, 살초효과 및 제초활성물질인 chrysophanic acid와 catechd이 밝혀져 있지만, 톨페스큐(Festuca arundinacea)에 대한 살초 효과 연구는 미비하다. 이에 본 연구는 톨페스큐 종자에 대해 애기수영 MeOH 추출물을 처리한 Seed bioassay를 진행해 IC₅₀ 값을 구하고, 톨페스큐에 애기수영 MeOH 추출물을 경엽처리를 진행한 후 생육조사를 진행했다. Seed bioassay의 경우, petri dish 위에 톨페스큐 종자 20개가 치상하고, 애기수영 지상부 추출물과 지하부 추출물을 각각 20,000 mg L^-1, 10,000 mg L^-1, 5,000 mg L^-1, 2,500 mg L^-1 농도로 serial dilution 하여 1mL씩 분주한 뒤, 일주일 뒤에 발아한 종자에 대해 생체중을 조사하고 Prizm 프로그램을 이용해 IC₅₀을 구하였다. 경엽처리의 경우, 톨페스큐 종자 파종4주 뒤에 IC₅₀값이 더 낮았던 지상부 추출물을 100,000 mg L^-1, 50,000 mg L^-1, 25,000 mg L^-1, 12,500 mg L^-1, 6,250 mg L^-1 농도로 serial dilution 한 뒤 5mL씩 일주일 간격으로 3회 경엽처리를 진행하였고, 마지막 처리 일주일 뒤 초장, 근장, 생체중, 건물중을 조사하였다. Seed bioassay 결과, 애기수영 지하부 추출물에 대한 톨페스큐의 IC₅₀값은 3274가 나왔고, 애기수영 지상부 추출물에 대한 톨페스큐의 IC₅₀값은 2728가 나왔다. Seed bioassay 결과를 바탕으로 효과적 이 었던 지상부 추출물을 이용해 톨페스큐 경엽처리를 진행하였다. 애기수영 지상부 추출물 경엽처리 결과, 톨페스큐 초장과 생체중이 추출물 처리량이 높아짐에 따라 낮아졌으며, 100,000 mg L^-1 처리구는 Control과 비교해 유의적으로 감소하였고, 처리량이 높아짐에 따라 근장이 감소했지만, 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 그리고 건물중은 100,000 mg L^-1 처리구가 Control, 12,500 mg L^-1, 6,250 mg L^-1 처리구와 비교해 유의적으로 낮았다.
