Glehnia littoralis Fr. Schmidt et Miquel is an important medicinal plants in East Asian countries. This plant species naturally distributed in Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan, but it is a rare plants living in the coastal dune in Korea. To investigate the genetic variation, genetic diversity and genetic evolutionary relationships of 14 different geographical G. littoralis, ITS sequence and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) were analyzed. On the basis of ITS sequences, it was clearly showed that the ITS1 and ITS2 sequences among 14 populations are identical regardless of geographical origin excepting 2 bp in pair-wise comparison of ITS1. Furthermore, RAPD results also showed that 14 different geographical G. littoralis produce various polymorphic patterns without critical relationship among neighboring regions. These combined results suggest that the geographical variation and genetic evolution of G. littoralis is stable and provide important information on genetic diversity, and conservation of this rare plant species in situ and ex situ.

Intraspecific variation in morphometry of pine wood nematodes Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and B. mucronatus in relation to geographical locations in South Korea was investigated using morphometric characters (body length, a, b and c ratio, stylet length, and spicule length for a male nematode and V (%) value for a female nematode). B. xylophilus was isolated from Pinus thunbergii in Jinju (1998), Ulsan (2000), Yangsan (2000), Mokpo (2001) and Jeju (2004), and from P. densiflora in Gumi (2001). B. mucronatus was isolated from P. thunbergii in Jinju (1991) and from P. densiflora in Milyang (2001). The body length of male and female B. xylophilus had the highest coefficient of variability and showed significant differences among geographical locations. The V (%) value for female B. xylophilus showed the lowest coefficient of variability, changing little with geographical area and host plant. All morphometric characters in B. mucronatus except for stylet length and female body length showed no significant differences between locations or hosts, suggesting they may not be affected by geographical area or host plant.

We have investigated the wind speed variations over the leeward region when the strong wind blows. In this study we employ Envi-met numerical model to simulate the effect of surface boundary conditions. This model is applied for three cases which are characterized by land use and terrain height. The base case having natural geographical condition shows the weakest wind speed around lee side of Chunsudae. The others which remove the vegetation and cut off the terrain above 20 m ASL represent the stronger wind speed than base case. The main factor of this result is the surface friction. The distinct variation of wind is found at offshore area between Chunsudae and the southern part of village, but the northern part where is apart from Chunsudae shows a small variation of wind pattern. The weakening of wind speed around residential area is a maximum of 4~10 m/s when the wind blows in the village as strong as 55 m/s. The gust wind speed is weakened about 7~17 m/s in this case if the coefficient of gust wind adapted as 1.75.

Purpose: This study utilizes the NEDIS (National Emergency Department Information System) database to suggest a predictive model for snakebite and envenomation in Korea by analyzing the geographical distribution and seasonal variation of snakebite patients visiting the ER. Methods: This was a retrospective study on snakebite patients visiting the ER using the NEDIS database from January 2014 to December 2019. The subjects include patients with the KCD (Korea Standard Classification of Disease) disease code T63.0 (Toxic effect of contact with snake venom). Geographical location, patient gender, patient age, date of ER visit, treatment during the ER stay, and disposition were recorded to analyze the geographical distribution and seasonal variation of snakebite patients in Korea. Results: A total of 12,521 patients were evaluated in this study (7,170 males, 54.9%; 5,351 females, 40.9%). The average age was 58.5±17.5 years. In all, 7,644 patients were admitted with an average admission time of 5.04±4.7 days, and 2 patients expired while admitted. The geographical distribution was Gyeongsang 3,370 (26.9%), Cheonra 2,692 (21.5%), Chungcheong 2,667 (21.3%), Seoul Capital area 1,999 (16.0%), Kangwon 1,457 (11.6%), and Jeju 336 (2.7%). The seasonal variation showed insignificant incidences in winter and higher severity in spring and summer than in fall: winter 27 (0.2%), spring 2,268 (18.1%), summer 6,847 (54.7%), and fall 3,380 (27.0%). Conclusion: Patients presenting with snakebites and envenomation in the emergency room were most common in the Gyeongsang area and during summer. The simple seasonal model predicted that 436 snakebites and 438 envenomation cases occurred in July and August. The results of this study can be applied to suitably distribute and stock antivenom. Appropriate policies can be formed to care for snakebite patients in Korea.

Phylogenetic relationship and DNA polymorphism among local populations of the Asparagus cochinchinensis have been investigated based on nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS sequences and RAPD analysis in Korea. In result, two genetically distinct groups of local populations except Geoje were recognized by the phylogenetic tree both in rDNA-ITS and RAPD. One was called 'western coast group' that includes the Buan 1, 2 and Taean and the other was 'southern coast group' that includes Haenam, Yeosu and Namhae. Thus, the geographical relationship of Asparagus cochinchinensis was two well-typified clades. These results suggest that the geographical genetic variation of Asparagus cochinchinensis is closely connected with the slow and long period of propagation via the coast in Korean Peninsula.

Drosophila melanogaster의 세계 14지역 계통으로부터 mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)를 추출하여, 제한 요소에 의하여 mtDNA종내 변이를 조사하였다. 그 결과, site variation(Hpall와 Haelll 및 Seal효소)과 length variation(최대550bp)이 나타났다. 또한 6종류(Ml, M2, M3, M4, M6 및 M7)의 mtDNA genotype이 검출되었으며, 종내 평균 염기 치환율은 1.88%로써 낮은 지역 분화(low divergence)를 나타내었다. 그러나 일본의 Ogasawara계통의 M5 type은 본 연구에서는 검출되지않았다. 이처럼 지역 계통간의 낮은 지역 분화는 세계14지역 계통의 D. melanogaster가 최근에 소수의 개체로부터 확산되었기 때문에 집단전체에 아직 충분한 mtDNA변이가 축적되지 않았거나 혹은 지리적 격리가 충분함에도 불구하고 지역 계통간에 빈번한 migration이 일어났기 때문에 mtDNA의 지역 분화가 방해되지않은 것으로 추측된다.

본 연구에서는 한국의 14개 지점의 여름철 강수량을 분석하여 1941-1970년과 1971-2000년 기간 사이의 변동을 파악하고. 순별 강수량의 경년 변동과 해양변동 및 전구평균기온 변동과의 관련성을 파악하고자 하였다. 두 기간의 순별 강수량 차이에 의하여 중서부지역, 호남지역, 영동 및 영남지역. 제주도지역으로 구분하였다. 강수량은 8월에 증가하였고 9월에 감소하였다. 중서부지역에서 8월 강수량의 증가 폭이 크며, 이는 호우 빈도의 증가와 관련이 있다. 순별 강우량의 제 2극대기가 9월 초순에서 8월 하순으로 바뀌거나 출현하지 않는다. 점차 8월의 소우기가 사라지면서 장마가 9월 초순까지 이어지는 경향이다. 8월 중순과 9월 중순(혹은 7월 중순)의 강수량 편차는 1971년을 경계로 음에서 양 혹은 양에서 음으로 바뀌는 경향이며. 그 변동은 서서히 진행되고 있다. 대부분 지역에서 강수량 변동은 해양변동 및 전구평균기온과 높은 상관관계가 있다.

The geographical variation of the germination response and the seedling growth of the seed populations of hemistepta lyrata bunge distributed in the southern area of korean peninsula (seoul, yongwol, andong, $Ch^{\prime}angwon, \;Sunch^{\prime}on$)was investigated. Five populations were divided into two principal groups according to the phases of their seed germination. The first group consisting of the seoul and yongwol population was 62% and 64%, respectively, in the final germination percentage of 32%, 24% and 28%, respectively, were Andong, $Ch^{\prime}angwon\;and\;Sunch^{\prime}on$ populations. The seed populations of hemistepta lyrata bunge which hardly germination. the germination of seoul and yongwol populations located at the higher latitudes took plase synchronously in early autumn. On the other hand, andong, $Ch^{\prime}angwon\;and\;Sunch^{\prime}on$ populations located at the lower latitudes showed a tendency to germinata asynchronously in late autumn. the speed of the seedling growth of the populations located at the higher latitudes was greater than that of the populations at the lower latitudes. Therefore the geographical variation in the germination response and the seedling growth of the seed populations of hemistepta lyrate bunge appeared to be an important ecological strategy to maintain their existence in the extreme environmental variations.
