Polypropylene (PP) composites with wood flour/wax/coupling agent were manufactured by melt compounding and injection molding. The influence of wood flour(WF), wax, and coupling agent on the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites was investigated. The addition of wood flour to neat PP has the higher tensile modulus and strength compared with neat PP. The presence of wax also improved the tensile modulus. At the same loading of PP and WF, the addition of coupling agent highly decreased the tensile modulus, and increased the tensile strength. From thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the addition of wax improved the thermal stability of the composites in the later stages of degradation. The presence of MAPP and wood flour in turn decreased thermal stabilities of composites. From differential scanning calorimetry analysis (DSC), neither the loading of wax. nor the presence of MAPP has shown significant effect on the thermal transition of composites.

Gastrodia elata has been cultivated as an important medicinal resources to treat various human diseases. One of the major problems associated with its field production is the degeneration of seed tubers, which is mainly caused by soil-borne pathogens. This study was conducted to produce disease-free seed tubers by the development of in vitro micropropagation method. First, tubers of G. elata were treated with $HgCl_2$ prior to culturing in vitro. Among various culture medium tested, water agar (WA) and WPM medium were the most effective on the induction and growth of vegetative stems. NAA ($0.1mg/{\ell}$) or TDZ ($1.0mg/{\ell}$) in WA medium showed better growth of vegetative stems compared to other plant hormones. Finally the induction and growth of vegetative stems were better in the dark compared to the light condition. In this study, we established an in vitro micropropagation system of G. elata, which might be an efficient way to increase the yield and quality of G. elata tubers in the field production.

Cellulose nanofibers from microfibril cellulose (MFC) was prepared by hydrobromic acid (HBr) treatment at different concentrations. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite films at various loading level of nanofibers were manufactured by a film casting method. The analysis of degree of polymerization (DP), crystallinity ($X_c$) and molecular weight ($M_w$) of cellulose after acid treatment was conducted. The mechanical and thermal properties of the cellulose nanofibers reinforced PVA films were characterized using tensile tests and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The DP and $M_w$ of MFC by HBr hydrolysis considerably decreased, but $X_c$ showed no significant change. After acid hydrolysis, the diameter of cellulose nanofibers was in the range of 100 to 200 nm. The thermal stability of the films was steadily improved with the increase of nanofiber loading. There was a significant increase in the tensile strength of PVA composite films with the increase in MFC loading. Finally, 5 wt.% nanofiber loading exhibited the highest tensile strength and thermal stability of PVA composite films.

We recently witnessed increasingly more natural disturbances on forested land. On the other hand, only limited number of nursery grown tree species are available for restoration projects. At the same time, so little on the disturbance resistance of species has been studied that a selection of right species for right site condition becomes very difficult. This study is a compilation of the site specificities and disturbance resistance of each species native to South Korea. Each species was surveyed for 11 items related to site specificities, and 12 items related to disturbance resistance including the resistance to snow damage. This study was conducted for 161 tree species from 44 families : 21 evergreen conifer species, 2 deciduous conifer species, 18 evergreen broad-leaved species, 118 deciduous broad-leaved species, and 2 monocotyledon species. This study suggests that native species in South Korea show resistance to all types of natural disturbances except drought.

The calorific value is the most significant factor in woody biomass utilization. We measured the calorific value by the wood parts (debarked parts and bark) and moisture content for 3 major tree species (Larix kaempferi, Pinus koraiensis, and Pinus rigida). Results showed that the calorific value decreased exponentially as the moisture content increased regardless of tree species and the wood parts. The bark had higher calorific values than woody parts (de-barked parts). In addition, Pinus koraiensis had the highest calorific values among 3 study species.

This study was conducted to investigate the surface hardness of thermally-compressed larch wood by compression set and temperature. The surface hardness of thermally-compressed larch wood increased with increasing compression set and temperature. For compression set 60%, the specific gravity was increased as 0.93. However, the surface hardness was lower value as 31.1 N/$mm^2$ compared with a similar specific gravity of the tropical timber. For density profile, less than compression set 40%, compression was observed mainly surface area. On the other hand, more than 50%, density profile variation was reduced by compression of central part. Results of this study indicate that thermally-compressed larch wood can be replace some imported hardwoods such as oak or cherry. However, thermally-compressed larch wood was difficult to replace the tropical timber being imported in terms of surface hardness.

The influence of liquefied wood (LW) on the mechanical and thermal properties of liquefied wood-polymer composites (LWPC) was investigated in this study. The thermal behaviors of LWPC were characterized by means of thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analyses. LW showed significant effects on the mechanical strength properties. The increase of flexural MOE and Young's modulus was related to the increase of stiffness of LWPC. The effect of LW was also significant on the flexural and tensile MOR. The impact strength decreased with the increase of LW application level. With the increased stress concentration by the poor bonding between LW and polymer, the impact strength of LWPC decreased, compared with that of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The thermal stability of LWPC decreased with the increase of LW content up to 40%. The melting temperature of HDPE decreased with the increase of LW loading level. Enthalpy of HDPE also decreased with the addition of LW. This study proves the thermal stability necessary for the consolidation of composition materials.

층층나무를 가해하는 단식성 해충인 황다리독나방(Ivela auripes)의 생활사를 실내 항온조건과 야외에서 조사하였다. 실험실 $24{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ 항온조건에서 1령 유충부터 번데기까지의 총 발육기간은$26.3{\pm}0.3$일이었고 성충의 수명은 $4.4{\pm}0.2$일이었다. 야외에서 채집된 번데기와 실험실 항온 조건에서 사육된 번데기의 발육 일수는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 실험실에서 사육된 암컷 한마리당 산란수는 야외에서 채집된 개체들의 산란수에 비해 낮았다. 포충망을 이용한 모니터닝이 유아등 모니터닝에 비해 효율적이었다. 황다리독나방의 성충우화시기는 6월 초순부터 하순이었으며 50% 누적 우화시기는 6월 17일이었다.

위성영상은 대면적의 산림 바이오매스 추정 및 주제도의 제작에 있어서 효과적인 자료로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 제5차 국가산림자원조사에서 수집된 야외 표본점의 임분 변수와 위성영상을 이용하여 산림 바이오매스 변환표를 작성한 후, 무주군의 산림 바이오매스를 추정 및 주제도를 제작하기 위해 수행되었다. 4개의 표본점별 임분 변수와 산림 바이오매스 간의 상관분석을 실시한 결과, 수고, 수관밀도, 그리고 영급이 산림 바이오매스에 영향을 미치는 변수로 파악되었다. 따라서 산림 바이오매스 변환표 작성을 위해 이들 3가지 임분 변수의 조합을 독립변수로 하는 6개 회귀모형을 사용하여 최적 회귀추정식을 도출한 후, 임상별로 산림 바이오매스 변환표를 작성하였다. 회귀추정식의 적합도를 평가하기 위하여 교차대조법에 의한 추정치 오차와 편차를 산출한 결과, 수관밀도와 수고등급을 독립변수로 하는 추정식(모형 V)이 다른 모형에 비해 산림 바이오매스 추정능력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 회귀모형 V를 이용한 산림 바이오매스 변환표와 위성영상의 분류에 의해 생성된 임분 변수의 주제도를 이용하여 추정된 전라북도 무주군의 총 산림 바이오매스는 약 881만 톤이며, ha당 산림 바이오매스는 128.3톤으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 그래프 이론을 적용하여 7대 광역시의 산림 연결성을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 다중공간규모의 전파 거리(100m~20km)에서 광역시별 산림 연결망의 전체 연결성을 평가하고, 소규모 산림(<10ha)이 연결성에 기여하는 정도를 측정하였다. 연구결과, 대구와 대전, 울산은 연결성이 높은 상위지역으로, 광주와 부산, 서울, 인천은 연결성이 낮은 하위지역으로 크게 양분화 되는 경향을 나타냈다. 소규모 산림들은 면적이 큰 산림들을 연결시키는 징검다리로서 특히 하위지역의 연결성을 크게 향상시키는 역할을 하였다. 생물 다양성에 중요한 연결성 보전을 위해서 상위지역에서는 잘 연결된 대규모 산림지역을 주요 거점으로 보전해야 한다. 하위지역에서는 우선적으로 연결성 유지에 중요한 소규모 산림들의 보전이 필요하다. 또한 연결성이 취약한 곳에 새로운 산림녹지를 조성해주는 전략이 요구된다.
