Rhododendron brachycarpum is a evergreen broad-leaved shrub and belongs to the Ericaceae family and the Rhododendron genus. It is well known for its beautiful leaves and flowers. There are 11 species of the Rhododendron genus in Korea. It includes 3 species - Rhododendron brachycarpum, Rhododendron aureum Georgi and Rhododendron brachycarpum var. roseum Koidz. They grow naturally over 1,000 meters above sea level of the Baekdu Mountain Range in Korea. These habitats, according to investigations of 9 Rhododendron brachycarpum natural habitats, are mostly located on the slope of mountains facing north at an altitude of 1,200 m to 1,526 m above sea level with angle of inclination from 30 degrees to 45 degrees. Based on the result of vegetation analysis of dominance species in the quadrates, there are Quercus aliena, Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb, Abies holophylla in species of upper trees, and so on. Dominant species of woody plants in tree layer are Quercus aliena, Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb, Abies holophylla, Betula platyphylla and Veeatrum patulum Loes. fil, Erythronium japonicum, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Paeonia japonica var. glabra Makino are founded in herbaceous plants. And we can see another result of the investigation that the flowering rates of the plants with the buds are highly ranked mountains such as Mt. Hambaek 68%, Mt. Gyebang 40%, Mt. Yagksu 9%, Mt. Gaein 7% and Mt. Seolag 0%. The results show that there are 24 over 15-year-old Rhododendron brachycarpums in Mt. Odae and are 56 under 15-year-old trees in Mt. Hambaek and are no trees in Mt. Gyebang and are 9 over 30-year-dead trees only in Mt. Taebaeg. Out of found trees, the highest tree is 7 m in height and 0.6 m in diameter. Also this result shows what are the vulnerability factors of the natural habitats. They are as follows: indiscriminate trails in mountains, damages by mountain climbers, uncareful plant collecting, the fierce competitions with other plants such as Acer pseudosieboldianum var. ishidoyanum Uyeki, Quercus aliena, Celastrus orbiculatus and damages by disease and insect, unusual temperature in natural habitats, etc. Rhododendron brachycarpums have high ornamental value and excellent pharmaceutical effect. But the areas of its habitats decrease dramatically. So we need measures to protect and their natural habitats. It is necessary that we conductfurther investigations to designate conservation area for Rhododendron brachycarpums.

The objective of this study is to analyze the flora and forest vegetation of trails with high visitor density at Molundae. Nine quadrats of $20{\times}20m$ were selected for the survey. The survey was conducted from April to October 2010. The obtained results are summarized as follows. Plot1, plot2, plot3, plot4, plot6, and plot7 were located at slopes of $5{\sim}20^{\circ}$, 17~40m above sea level, and were formed with the colony of Japanese black pine(Pinus thunbergii Parl) and Japanese black pine(Pinus thunbergii Parl)-white oak(Quercus aliena Blume). Tree layer had the height of 8~20m, and the coverage of 50~70%, while subtree layer had the height of 3-8m, and the coverage 30~80%. On the other hand, shrub layer had the height of 2~4m, and the coverage of 10~30%, and herb had the height of 0.2~1m and coverage 5~20%. Plot5, plot8, and plot9 were located at the summit areas of 57~78m above sea level, and $0^{\circ}$ slope. Japanese black pine(Pinus thunbergii Parl) formed a community there. Tree layer was 8~20m high, and covered 60~70%, of the area, and subtree layer was 6~8m high, and coverage 30~40%. Shrub layer had the height of 2~6m, and the coverage of 30%, while herb layer had the height 0.2~2m, and the coverage 20-80%. Succession does not occur in the surveyed areas which have high visitor density. Artificially planted sawtooth oak(Quercus acutissima) trees were found to disturb succession and formation of multi-layer vegetation, resulting in the ecologically unstable forest. Therefore, the researcher suggested the strategy of managing the vegetation in the conclusion. This study has the limit in that the plots selected for the survey reflected only part of various trails in the Molundae area. It is necessary to suggest the vegetation management plans by selecting more diverse trail areas in consideration of the visitor density and behaviors, and analyzing the changes in vegetation quantitatively in order to manage the vegetation in urban areas damaged by visitors more effectively.

캐나다 북부 알버타주의 데본기 후기 Grosmont층은 중생대 백악기와 데본기 후기 사이 형성된 침식 부정합면 하부에 위치하며 Ireton층의 셰일에 의해 4개의 단위로 구분되고, 상향 천해화(shallowing-upward)를 보이는 전형적인 대륙붕 환경이다. Grosmont층은 탄성파의 극성, 연속성, 주파수/간격, 진폭 등의 해석요소를 고려하여 4개의 단위(LG, UG1, UG2, UG3)로 구분할 수 있었고 반사파는 중-고진폭, 중-저주파수의 특징을 보이고 반사면은 연속성이 좋으며 서로 평행한 형태로 나타났다. 시추공의 암상자료를 바탕으로 대륙붕 또는 플랫폼(platform) 환경으로 해석할 수 있지만 반사파의 특성이나 형태만으로 순차층의 경계면과 퇴적환경을 인지하기란 쉽지 않기 때문에 이 연구에서는 부순차층세트(parasequence set)로 하여 층서 해석을 시도하였다. 침식 부정합면에 의해 퇴적계 연합체와 함께 부순차층세트가 형성되는데, 침식부정합면은 암상자료와 탄성파상의 카르스트화작용 및 침식면에 의해 그 인지가 가능하였다. 연구지역에 분포하는 Grosmont 탄산염암층은 플랫폼 및 대륙붕 환경으로부터 분지 방향의 플랫폼 주변부을 향하면서 층후가 점차 감소하는 쐐기형태로 발달하며 전진하는 시그모이드-오블리크(sigmoid-oblique) 형태의 음향특성을 갖는 것이 특징적이며, 이는 해수면 변동과 연계되어 퇴적작용이 진행되었음을 지시해주고 있다. 퇴적단위의 대부분은 주로 해퇴 및 저해수면 환경 하에서 형성된 것으로 해석되어 플랫폼 환경을 뒷받침해주는 증거가 된다. 특히, 고해수면 환경 하에서 형성된 퇴적체 하부의 셰일층은 반복되는 해퇴기간 동안 대부분이 박층으로 분포하는 것으로 해석된다.

Zoning areas within national parks in Korea are classified into Natural Preservation Zone(NPZ). Natural Environment Zone(NEZ), Settlement Zone(SZ) and Mass Facility Zone(MFZ) based on the Natural Park Act Large-scale development which might cause permanent destruction of natural resources are being done in NEZ which covers 90% of the total natural park area. Thus it is necessary to examine National Park Act which refers the authorized criteria and development activities of NEZ. However, the current environmental impact statement(EIS) does not cover the full impact of the development inside the national park area. Based on these concepts, the study examines the appropriate resources to distinguish the NPZ and NEZ in Mt. Teogyu National Park, then compare the distribution of resource characteristics between two area by using GIS. Through this study, the conclusions are as follows; (1) In terms of scenic resource analysis, the current NPZ does not meet the criteria on the National Park Act Rather, most of the resources which should be located within the NPZ are located within the NEZ. (2) In terms of elevation analysis, Mt. Teogyu National Park, most of NPZ are located on high altitude which is more than l,200m above the mean sea level. Therefore, it shows the elevation is the only criteria for distinguishing NPZ and NEZ. (3) In terms of Degree of Green Naturality(DGN), the second forest areas, the eighth grade of DGN in Mt. Teogyu National Park are distributed much more in the NEZ than NPZ. (4) After examining five factors - scenic resources, elevation, slope and DGN, vegetation- it was found out that zoning of Mt. Teogyu National Park is not adequatly designated. Zoning of national parks should be accomplished based on the precise inventory of the current resources.

강원도 영월군에 분포하는 하부 오오도비스기 탄산염-쇄설성 혼합층인 문곡층에 대하여 계층적으로 체계화된 시퀀스층서 분석을 행한 결과에 의하면 문곡층은 3개의 시?스로 구성되어 있다. 시퀀스 경계면은 경계면 하부의 조립질 탄산염암으로부터 상부의 세립질 탄산염내설성 혼합층으로의 급격한 변화로 특징 지워지며 카르스트화와 같은 대기 노출면의 증거를 보여주기도 한다. 이러한 시퀀스 층서 틀 내에서 분석된 퇴적상의 특징에 의하면, 문곡층은 완만한 경사를 갖는 조하대의 램프에서 퇴적된 것으로 해석된다. 퇴적되는 동안에 빈번한 열대 폭풍의 영향이 있었으며 폭풍퇴적층은 해저면 기질의 구성성분과 해안과의 근접도에 따라 암상의 차이를 보인다. 또한 문곡층은 고빈도의 상향천화 하는 사이클로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 천해퇴적층과 심해퇴적층으로 구성된 퇴적층에는 사이클이 잘 나타나지 않는데 그 이유는 사이클 병합으로 해석된다. 사이클이 누적되는 양상을 보면 큰 규모의 해수면 변동과 연관되어 일관된 두께의 변화가 관찰되지 않는데 이는 퇴적물이 퇴적공간을 충분히 채우지 못하기 때문인 것으로 해석된다.

2001년 9월부터 2002년 6월까지 소규모 집수역 내 고도가 다른 3개 지점(해발 49, 104, 253m)에서 30분 간격으로 기온을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 평균기온은 100m 당 0.2$^{\circ}C$씩 하강하였으며, 이 감율양상은 낮 시간대 지형에 의한 일사 수광량 변이에 의해 증폭되었다. 그러나 감율양상은 일몰시점부터 고도가 높을수록 기온이 더 높아지는 역전양상으로 전환되어 다음 날 일출시점까지 지속되었다. 이에 따라 계곡기저의 일 최저기온이 253m 지점에 비해 더 낮은 날이 연중 67%를 차지하였고 연평균 기온편차는 1.4$^{\circ}C$ 이었다. 맑은 날의 최저기온 역전강도는 겨울보다 봄가을에 더 커지며 대상지역에서 관측된 최대값은 6$^{\circ}C$ 이었다. 흐리고 비온 날의 최저기온은 감율양상이 지속되었으며 봄가을보다 겨울철의 기온감율이 더 컸다.

Detailed investigations on both submarine and subaerial volcaniclastic deposits around Dokdo were carried out to identify geomorphologic characteristics, stratigraphy, and associated depositional processes of Dokdo caldera. Dokdo volcano has a gently sloping summit (about 11km in diameter) and relatively steep slope (basal diameter is about 20-25 km) rising above sea level at about 2,270m. We found ragged, elliptical-form of Dokdo caldera with a diameter of about 2km estimated by Chirp (3-11 kHz) sub-bottom profile data and side scan sonar data for the central summit area of Dokdo volcano. We interpreted that the volcaniclastic deposits of Dokdo unconformably consist of the Seodo (west islet) and the Dongdo(east islet) formations based on internal structure, constituent mineral composition, and bedding morphology. The Seodo Formation mainly consisted of massive or inversely graded trachytic breccias (Unit S-I), overlain by fine-grained tuff (Unit S-II), which is probably supplied by mass-wasting processes resulting from Dokdo caldera collapse. The Dongdo Formation consists of alternated units of stratified lapilli tuff and inversely graded basaltic breccia (Unit D-I, Unit D-III, and Unit D-V), and massive to undulatory-bedded basaltic tuff breccias (Unit D-II and Unit D-IV) formed by a repetitive pyroclastic surge and reworking processes. Although, two islets of Dokdo are geographically near each other, they have different formations reflecting their different depositional processes and eruptive stages.

The objective of this study was to make a map of farmland vulnerability to flood inundation based on morphologic characteristics from the flood-damaged areas. Vulnerability mapping based on the records of flood damages has been conducted in four successive steps; data preparation and preprocessing, identification of morphologic criteria, calculation of inundation vulnerability index using a fuzzy membership function, and evaluation of inundation vulnerability. At the first step, three primary digital data at 30-m resolution were produced as follows: digital elevation model, hill slopes map, and distance from water body map. Secondly zonal statistics were conducted from such three raster data to identify geomorphic features in common. Thirdly inundation vulnerability index was defined as the value of 0 to 1 by applying a fuzzy linear membership function to the accumulation of raster data reclassified as 1 for cells satisfying each geomorphic condition. Lastly inundation vulnerability was suggested to be divided into five stages by 0.25 interval i.e. extremely vulnerable, highly vulnerable, normally vulnerable, less vulnerable, and resilient. For a case study of the Jinju, farmlands of $138.6km^2$, about 18% of the whole area of Jinju, were classified as vulnerable to inundation, and about $6.6km^2$ of farmlands with elevation of below 19 m at sea water level, slope of below 3.5 degrees, and within 115 m distance from water body were exposed to extremely vulnerable to inundation. Comparatively Geumsan-myeon and Sabong-myeon were revealed as the most vulnerable to farmland inundation in the Jinju.

To understand the characteristics of sedimentary and benthic environments in habitats of naturally-occurring intertidal benthic macroalgae, various geochemical parameters of sediment (grain size, ignition loss [IL], chemical oxygen demand [COD], and acid volatile sulfur [AVS]) and pore water (temperature, salinity, pH, and nutrients) were measured in the southern intertidal zone of Hampyeong Bay at two month intervals from April to October 2009. Ecological characteristics including the distribution and biomass of benthic macroalgae were also investigated. Benthic macroalgae were distributed below 4 to 5 m depth from mean sea level near the lower portion of the intertidal zone where air exposure time is relatively short. The distribution area and biomass of benthic macroalgae gradually decreased during the study period. The surface sediments in the benthic algal region were mainly composed of finer sediments, such as slightly gravelly mud and mud. The temperature, salinity, pH, and nutrient concentrations (except dissolved inorganic nitrogen) in pore water did not differ in regions with and without benthic macroalgae, whereas the mean grain size and the concentrations of IL, COD, and AVS in sediments were much higher in regions harboring benthic macroalgae. The correlation between mean grain size and IL in sediments displayed two distinct gradients and the slope was much steeper in regions harboring benthic macroalgae, indicating that the content of organic matter in benthic algal region is not solely dependent on mean grain size. Our results indicate that the benthic macroalgae in the southern intertidal zone of Hampyeong Bay play an important role in the accumulation of organic matter in sediment.

수요증가가 예상되는 겨우살이의 인공번식을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 겨우살이의 분포지역의 기주수종과 서식지 환경을 조사하여 분석하였다. 겨우살이의 자생지는 전국에 분포하고 있었으며, 기주식물로는 졸참나무와 같은 참나무류가 대부분이였고 밤나무, 벚나무, 오리나무, 돌배나무 등에서 볼 수 있었다. 군락지의 같이 자생하는 침엽수인 소나무, 잣나무와 활엽수인 느티나무, 감나무, 고로쇠나무, 단풍나무, 뽕나무, 은행나무에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 자생지의 고도는 해발 $0{\sim}1200\;m$까지 잘 생육되고 방향과 지형을 가리지 않고 기주식물이 잘 생육 할 수 있는 곳이면 전국에서 재배가 가능할 것으로 판단되었으며, 종자 전파는 조류에 의함이 확인할 수 있었다. 겨우살이의 기생은 흡기 발생부터 기주식물의 표피 또는 조직성분에 따라 영향이 있을 것으로 생각되며 인공재배 연구의 좋은 성과를 위해 겨우살이가 잘 기생하는 기주식물의 기주 특이성에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.
