Phytosociological invesstigation of the forest vegetation was carried out in Oinrodo island at the period from June 5th 1990 to June 10th 1990 by Braun-Blanquet's method. The forest vegetation was classified into 10 communities, Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii, Machilus thunsbergii, Neolitsea sericea, Quercus glauca-Actinodaphne lancifolia, Pinus thunbergii, Chamaecyparis obtusa, Cryptomeria japonica, Quercus acutissima, Quercus variabilis, and Carpinus coreana community. Based on the classification of communities, the actual vegetation map was drawn in 1 : 50,000 scale.

Birds play a main role in the formation and change of forest structures as they are seed-dispersal agents. This study aims to identify birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree and their associated fruits and seeds on Jeju Island in the context on the forest restoration in Korea. We conducted field surveys twice a month from 2013 to 2015 at nine study sites located across Jeju Island and collected available photographic and observation records. A total of 50 species of birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree were identified and birds belonging to Bombycillidae, Pycnonotidae, Zosteropidae, Sturnidae and Fringillidae were confirmed as major birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree. Gulping was the dominant type of feeding as well as crushing, but relationship between the size of a bird and the number of fruit and seed species used by the bird was not significant. We also documented that 118 fruit and seed species were consumed by birds and that shrubby fruits and seeds were more consumed by birds than those of other plant types. The relative consumption rate of fruits and seeds ranged from 0.02 to 0.44, but five species were the most important fruits and seeds for birds. Our finding suggest that avian frugivorous gulpers will benefit the seed dispersal, especially of five fruiting plants, providing useful baseline data for forest restoration and urban park design.

울산광역시 목도 식생에 대한 식생학적 연구가 수행되었다. 전통적인 군락분류법에 의한 식생유형 분석과 축적 1:800의 현존식생도를 제작하여 식생의 공간적 분포양식을 규명하고, 식생자원진단카드를 개발하여 주요 수목에 대한 활력도를 평가하였다 목도의 식생은 50과 93속 111종 (귀화식물 11종 포함)으로 이루어진 13개 식물군락이 분포하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 목도식생은 섬 면적의 37.4%를 차지하는 상록활엽수림의 후박나무군락으로 대표되며, 극히 단순한 종조성과 층구조, 그리고 주요 수목 가운데 95.7%가 절대감시 및 주요감시 대상인 개체를 포함하고 있는 매우 취약한 식생구조인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 상록활엽수림과 상록침엽수림은 해양에 대응한 공간적 분포의 경향성이 뚜렷한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구를 통하여 목도식생의 보전을 위한 장기생태연구의 토대를 구축하였다.

This study was conducted to develop stem volume models for the volume estimation of Quercus glauca Thunb. in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Furthermore, this study validated the developed stem volume models using an independent dataset. A total of 167 trees were measured for their diameter at breast height (DBH), total height and stem volume using non-destructive sampling methods. Eighty percent of the dataset was used for the initial model development while the remaining 20% was used for model validation. The performance of the different models was evaluated using the following fit statistics: standard error of estimate (SEE), mean bias absolute mean deviation (AMD), coefficient of determination (R²), and root mean square error (RMSE). The AMD of the five models from the different DBH classes were determined using the validation dataset. Model 5 (V = aD^bH^c), which estimates volume using DBH and total height as predicting variables, had the best SEE (0.02745), AMD (0.01538), R² (0.97603) and RMSE (0.02746). Overall, volume models with two independent variables (DBH and total height) performed better than those with only one (DBH) based on the model evaluation and validation. The models developed in this study can provide forest managers with accurate estimations for the stem volumes of Quercus glauca in the subtropical forests of Jeju Island, Korea.

본 연구는 도서에 대한 휴양과 안보 등 도서산림기능 발굴 및 지속적인 유지보전을 위하여 남한지역도서의 2000년과 2020년의 Globeland30 토지피복자료 분석을 통해 도서지역 토지피복의 구성 및 변화형태를 추적하고 도서산림의 이해를 위한 공간정보를 제공하고자 했다. 각 년도 별 토지피복분포와 격자 기반의 토지피복변화 분석을 수행했고 그 결과, 2000년 대비 2020년에는 농경지와 초지가 각각 7.6%, 1.7% 감소한 반면 산림과 인공지가 각각 5.7%, 3.2% 증가했고 도서산림은 20년 동안 전체 도서면적의 42.2% 인 157,246 ha가 유지되었다. 또한 농경지와 인공지가 존재하지 않는 도서 중 1 ha 이상 초지가 산림으로 변하는 262 개 도서와 산림이 초지로 변하는 421 개 도서를 관측하여 천이와 교란에 대한 잠재적 정보를 갖는 683 개 도서를 확인했다. 인공지의 유입이 확인된 22개 도서에서는 주로 농경지가 인공지로 전환되었다. 해당 도서 면적의 42.2%를 차지하는 산림이 초지로 변하고 27.8%의 농경지와 초지가 산림으로 변했다. 거주환경개선 및 사회기반시설 확충 등 인공지의 유입은 개발지역에 국한되지 않고 정주환경 개선을 위한 산림 파괴와 조경, 농경지의 개발 및 휴경화 등 주변부까지 토지피복의 변화를 수반하는 경우가 확인되었다. 해당 연구 결과는 추후 도서생태연구와 도서산림의 관리방안을 마련하기 위한 기초자료로 높은 활용도를 보일 것으로 판단된다.

Present work aims to establish the countermeasure for the better maintenance and preservation of insular floristic diversity at the South Sea of Jeollanamdo Province, ROK, where unique ecosystems are under threat due to climate change, anthropogenic disturbance and habitat destruction. Numerous flora reports from 15 inhabited islands and 60 uninhabited islands as well as field survey data are collated for the compilation of floristic data base and island biogeographical analysis. Out of the 1,940 vascular plant species from 180 families occurring in studies areas, 30.1 percentage or 584 plant species are physiognomically belonging to arboreal plants. Average number of species at individual island is numbered about 222 species, but it varies from about 591 species at the inhabited islands to 129 species at the uninhabited islands. Only 0.15 percentage of species with high proportion above 0.9 in its relative occurrence rate occurs at 68 islands and it includes three species, such as Pinus thunbergii, Eurya japonica and Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum. However, about 68 percentage of plant species occurring in study area is confined their distribution to less than seven islands. Presence of high proportion of notable plants in small islands, i.e., 10 critically endangered species compared with 5.5 species in average, 9 endangered species (average 4.2 spp.) at Sonjookdo, and 7 critically endangered species, 8 endangered species at Sokomundo may due to existence of diverse geological and topographical environmental diversity as well as lower human population density and remoteness from the mainland. Since island is small in size and geographically isolated, minor environmental and ecological burdens can cause the critical damages to the diversity of flora and vegetation, urgent island biogeographical research is needed for the scientific conservation and management of island biodiversity.

The floristic composition of the Korean-fir(Abies koreana Wilson) forest on Mt. Halla in Cheju Island, Korea, was described and some other phytosociological features were noted. The dense tree layer of the Abies koreana forest under consideration attained a height of no more than 5-7m. The shrub layer was 1.2-2m high and usually inconspicuous, while the herb layer, 0.3-0.5m high, was remarkable. The forest contained a number of species which are characteristic of the subalopine coniferous in Japan, particularly that in Hokkaido. Moreover, the specific synchronized regeneration called wave-regeneration was found in the forest on Mt. Halla at several sites even though the data on this phenomenon do not present in the present report.

곶자왈 숲이란 대한민국 제주도에 있는 "아아 용암"이라는 바위 지대 위에 형성된 숲을 가리킨다. 이 논문에서 곶자왈 숲이 람사협약상 국제적으로 중요한 습지임이 밝혀진다. 곶자왈 숲은 람사협약에서 습지의 한 종류로 규정하고 있는 지하수시스템이므로 람사협약상 습지로 간주되어야 한다. 또한 곶자왈 숲은 수문학적 중요성을 가지고 있는 제주도의 대표적인 습지유형이며 희귀식물들의 자생지이므로 국제적으로 중요한 습지이다.

The purpose of this study were to understand the resident's attitudes toward Ulleung Island and to identify the residents' perception of recreation and the influence of socioeconomic characteristics on their response. In summer of 1999, 222 questioners were obtained from a convenience sample of households within Ulleung Island. The residents perceived both positive and negative environ-recreation and economic impacts, most of the residents supported additional recreation development and disagreed to limit the number of visitors. Their perception of recreation impacts were varied with age, education level, economic dependency on recreation place of residence, and length of residence.
