This study has been carried out to estimate aboveground carbon contents in an average 30-years-old Betula platyphylla and 32-years-old Juglans mandshurica stands in Chungju, Chungbuk Province. Nine sample trees were cut in each forest and soil samples were collected. Carbon concentration in stemwood, stembark, branch, and foliage were ranged from 54.6% to 57.0% in Betula platyphylla and 53.5% to 56.9% in Juglans mandshurica stands. Aboveground carbon contents was estimated by the equation model logWt=A+BlogD where Wt is oven-dry weight in kg and D is DBH in cm. Total aboveground carbon contents was 34.31t/ha in Betula platyphylla stand and 21.10t/ha in Juglans mandshurica stand. Aboveground net primary carbon production was estimated at 2.31t/ha/yr in Betula platyphylla stand and 2.03t/ha/yr in Juglans mandshurica stand.

$SO_2$ injury was higher in the foliage of several ornamental plants when treated in July than in August or September. Spray of daminozide at 2,500 ppm 7 days before $SO_2$ fumigation had no effect on $SO_2$ injury whereas MH pretreatment increased $SO_2$ injury in Hibiscus syriacus.

This study is performed to establish the basis of the development of unique tropical botanical garden that will be connected with the identity of the local inheritance resources, 'Silla'. The glasshouse is the traditional 'Silla; housing and the landscape facilities are tried to imagine 'Silla' kingdom. Combination of the plant exhibition and the cultural inheritance resources can create their own unique theme. The garden divided into five spaces by life cycles of plants and the purpose of appreciation, the palm garden, ornamental foliage garden, flower garden, water lily garden, and tropical fruits garden. The appropriate flowers and trees are selected by their flowering time and the purpose of enjoyment. Especially, Ficus religiosa is the symbol plant of buddhism which is the state religion of 'Silla'.

A dark septate endophytic fungal strain 13E043 was isolated from the needle leaves of Thuja koraiensis from a forest in Korea. Morphological characteristics of conidia and phialids. Along with a molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the internal transcribed spacer region of rDNA, the isolate was identified as Phialocephala piceae (also known as Phaeomollisia piceae). This is the first report of a dark septate endophyte isolated from the foliage of conifer trees in Korea.

This study was conducted to reveal tree species preference and inter-specific difference of foraging behavior among four canopy-dwelling birds at forest dominated by Quercus mongolica, Acer pseudosieboldian and Carpinus cordata at 1,000 meters above sea level during breeding season of birds from 1995 to 1997 in Mt. Jumbongsan. Breeding birds were about 25 species and dominant birds were Erithacus cyane, Parus ater and Parus palustris. A relatively high number of bush-nesters can be a characteristic of breeding bird community at study area. Three gleaners (Tits, P. varius, P. palustris and P. ater) selectively preferred the trees irrespective of dominant tree species, whereas bark foragers (Nuthatch, Sitta europaea) utilized the dominant trees. The four birds showed significant inter-specific difference in use of foraging location, but the three tits did not show significant inter-specific difference in use of foraging maneuver and trees. Closely related tits may coexist with each other by inter-specific different use of foraging location determined by foliage structure and leaf arrangement.

The efficacy of fungicides was compared for control of root rot as well as leaf blight caused by Phytophthora cactorum on ginseng plants. Growth of P. cactorum in rlitro was completely or highly inhibited by metalaxyl, tetracyclin, captafol, carbendazim, and thiophanate + thiram. In field trials, the disease was significantly reduced not only in the root rot but also in the leaf blight when metalaxyl was applied at 4.17 mg a.i. per plant for soil drenching and 1.25 mg a.i. for foliage application. Also captafol was effective on control of the leaf blight but its effect was inferior to that of metalaxyl. Metalaxyl lost its effectiveness in vivo between the 5th and 7th week after soil wren ching. Phytotoxicity was, however, observed on 2 years old ginseng plants when metalaxyl was drenched at 8 mg a.i. while no phytotoxic symptom was developed on 2 years old ginseng plants at 4k mg a.i. and 3 years old at 16 mg a.i. per plant, respectively.

This study was carried out investigate the storability of onions on calcium spraying, after cutting foliage, 6 different treatemnt , the dilution spraying of calcium nitrate 9 3%, 6%) , calcium carbonate(3%, 6%), dust scattering and the controls were evaluated for rotting, sprouting, healthy bulb and total weight loss ratio during storage. Rotting ratio on the dilution spraying of 6% calcium carbonate was lower than that of the control after 4 months storage by 16.7%. Sprouting and total weight loss were decreased in the dilution spraying of 6% calcium carbonate.

Alternaria longissima Deighton & Macgarvie was recorded for the first time on seeds of sesame in low percentages. Detailed descriptions of the habit characters, conidial morphology and cultural characters are described. This fungus, which is generally regarded as a saprophyte, was shown to be a pathogen to sesame plants producing zonate leaf spots, foliage blight, stem necrosis and spots on capsules, but does not show any pathogenicity to rice and sorghum plants.

Luffa acutanqula var. amara exhibits floral and extrafloral nectaries. The floral nectaries are restricted to the torus of the male flowers, while the extrafloral nectaries are observed on foliage leaves, probract, outer surface of calyx and pedicels. The floral nectaries develop from a group of epidermal and sub-epidermal initials which differentiate into secretory and subsecretory zones respectively during further divisions. The extrafloral nectary initiates from a single papillate nectary initial which gives rise to mature nectary comprising stalk layer, secretory and subsecretory tissues. Both the floral and extrafloral nectaries are vascularized. Interactions between insect-visitors and the plant with special reference to their functions are also discussed.

This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of breeding bird communities between deciduous and coniferous forests from April to June 2005 in Mt. Namsan, Seoul, Korea. Two 10ha areas were selected for territory mapping of breeding bird communities. Number of breeding bird species, pairs,density and bird species diversity index were higher in deciduous forest with increasing amount of foliage in the forest profile or as forest structures developed compared with coniferous forest. The number of in coniferous forest. The differences in habitat structure between both study areas are very likely to have influenced how breeding birds used the available habitat. Forest structure and its interactions with birds should be consideration in forest management for birds and their habitat.
