Background: Identifying suitable site for growing mountain-cultivated ginseng is a concern for ginseng producers. This study was conducted to evaluate the soil properties of cultivation sites for mountain-cultivated ginseng in Hamyang-gun, which is one of the most well-known areas for mountain-cultivated ginseng in Korea. Methods: The sampling plots from 30 sites were randomly selected on or near the center of the ginseng growing sites in July and August 2009. Soil samples for the soil properties analysis were collected from the top 20 cm at five randomly selected points. Results: Mountain-cultivated ginseng was grown in soils that varied greatly in soil properties on coniferous, mixed, and deciduous broad-leaved stand sites of elevations between > 200mand < 1,000 m. The soil bulk density was higher in Pinus densiflora than in Larix leptolepis stand sites and higher in the < 700-m sites than in > 700-m sites. Soil pH was unaffected by the type of stand sites (pH 4.35-4.55), whereas the high-elevation sites of > 700mwere strongly acidified, with pH 4.19. The organic carbon and total nitrogen content were lower in the P. densiflora stand sites than in the deciduous broad-leaved stand sites. Available phosphorus was low in all of the stand sites. The exchangeable cationwas generally higher in the mixed and low-elevation sites than in the P. densiflora and high-elevation sites, respectively. Conclusion: These results indicate that mountain-cultivated ginseng in Korea is able to grow in very acidic, nutrient-depleted forest soils.

This study's purpose was to provide basic data for the monitoring of ecological changes caused by change of vegetation structure of Abies koreana forest in a study site susceptible to climatic change in Yeongsil area of Hallasan Mountain, Jeju Island. Surveys revealed this: in Yeongsil area of Hallasan Mountain, per 1 ha of A. koreana forests, total number 1,781, and A. koreana number 989, accounting for 55.5% of the total number of trees. 190 A. koreana or 19.2% were found to be dead. For the number of individual trees by DBH, trees standing 5 cm - 10 cm tall formed the largest portion at 39.9%, and in the case of other trees except A. koreana, the number of individual trees below 5 cm accounted for 23.5% of the total number of trees. The survey of importance by height revealed this: at the top level, the importance of A. koreana was the highest at 106.23, but the sum of importance of temperate deciduous broad-leaved trees (Prunus maximowiczii, Quercus mongolica, and Taxus cuspidata) was higher at 142.84 than that of A. koreana. The analysis of species diversity revealed 0.645 species diversity for the tree layer and 0.817 for the shrub layer; for evenness, 0.549 for the tree layer and 0.664 for the shrub layer; for dominance value; 0.451 for the tree layer and 0.336 for the shrub layer. The analysis of tree vitality revealed that for the A. koreana forests in Yeongsil, the composition ratio of A. koreana by type is AS type>AL type>DS type>DB type, and that of the other trees is AL type>AS type>AF type>AB type. Compared with the forests in other areas, the A. koreana forests in the Yeongsil area have a very high occurrence rate of dead trees, and a high importance of trees is shown in the deciduous broad-leaved tree forests. Compared with the A. koreana forests in the Jindallaebat area, with the same level above sea, the vegetation structures are fast changing. Also, due to dryness and other non-physical environmental changes caused by a lack of rainwater and dry winds in winter, dead trees are fast increasing in number. Environmental changes such as climate change diversely affect the maintenance of A. koreana in individual areas, and if environmental changes are fast and continue long, of the A. koreana forest areas in the Hallasan Mountain, the A. koreana forests in the Yeongsil area will decrease fastest in number and will experience changes in the vegetation structure. Thus, it is necessary to survey the vegetation changes in A. koreana forests, which are distributed in all directions but are centered on Hallasan Mountain, and to thus conduct long-term monitoring and research.

Coffee is one of the top selling products in the world. There are various coffee bean species around the world. Among them, Coffea Arabica is the most popular species. However, there are few studies on the metabolites of coffee beans so far. This study demonstrates effects of the planted regions on the metabolite concentrations of coffee beans. The metabolites of coffee beans can be affected by growing area even although same species are grown. Accordingly, we studied coffee bean metabolites extracted from the same species in different regions (The brand names, Kona from Hawaii, Mocha Matari from Yemen, and Blue Mountain from Jamaica) by using mixed solvent of methanol: water: chloroform. A comparative analysis by NMR spectroscopy was performed and the statistical techniques were used to figure out the differences. As a result, we found that chlorogenic acid, caffeine, citrate, and sucrose mainly contributed to the separation of the three groups. When compared with Kona and Blue Mountain, concentrations of chlorogenic acid, caffeine, and sucrose in Mocha Matari were observed to be relatively down-regulated. In addition, compared with the two other groups, concentration of citrate in Kona was observed to be up-regulated.

장백산은 시대마다 다양한 민족이 생활하였고, 시대별 민족들은 자신들만의 신앙문화로 장백산을 신성시 하였다. 기존의 장백산 문화에 대한 연구들은 특정 시대 사건에 관한 연구만 이루어지고 있는데, 정작 장백산의 신성성이 시대별로 어떻게 변천하고, 시대별 민족들의 신앙문화와 어떠한 관계가 있고, 어떻게 변하였는지에 대한 연구는 없었다. 본 연구는 장백산 신성성을 역사적 사료에 입각하여 시대적으로 변천해 온 의미를 고찰하고 분석하는 것이다. 장백산 신성성의 변천을 통시적으로 고찰하기 위하여 시대별 민족들의 신앙문화와 장백산 공간의 관계에서 발생하는 성현을 중심으로 고찰하였다. 구체적으로, 성현으로 드러난 신성한 공간을 보호하기 위한 활동을 고찰하였고, 도출된 결과를 가지고 장백산 신성성의 변천을 해석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 장백산 신성한 활동은 시대별로 다음과 같이 변천하였다. 청나라 이전 시대 민간들은 생계와 생존을 위한 화신제사, 성신제사, 산신제사, 버드나무신제사를 하였고, 금나라 왕은 악진(嶽鎭)과 같은 제사의례로 장백산신에게 제사를 드렸다. 청나라 시대 황제는 망제전을 조성하고 직접가거나 관원을 파견하여 국가를 상징하는 최고의 제사의례로 장백산신에게 제사를 드렸다. 근대는 장백산 정상에 팔괘묘를 조성하고, 장백산신에게 제사를 드리거나 팔괘의 술수를 통하여 장백산 자연과 장백산에서 생활하는 인간들의 길흉을 판단하였다. 또한 이 시기 민간들은 생활과 생산을 위하여 인격화 된 신 산신노파두를 중심으로 제사활동을 하였다. 정리하면, 장백산의 신성한 활동은 청나라 이전 시기는 애니미즘의 사상을 기본으로 한 샤머니즘 제사활동, 청나라 시기는 황실의 성산으로서 신성성을 받들기 위한 최고의 황실 제사의례, 근대시기는 이주민들의 도교사상을 기본으로 한 제사활동으로 변천하였다. 그리고 신성한 활동으로 바라 본 장백산의 의미는 청나라 이전 시대 생계의 산에서 청나라 시대 국가의 산으로 위상이 승격하였다가 근대 생산의 산으로 변화하였다.

Mt. Umyeon is a low-altitude mountain near a residential area, and the actual forest area is not large due to the fact that development for use as a living green space is being completed and in progress across the mountain, so the buffering action for landslides was weak. The unit was located at the top of Mt. Umyeon, and there were reports of contents related to the military unit in some accident areas. Some experts suggested that the landslide that started on the cut side of the unit could be one of the causes of the landslide at Mt. Umyeon. It is presumed that there was a sudden collapse of trees that had fallen due to erosion inside the valley. In the case of the Umyeon landslide, localized torrential rain is the biggest cause, but the fact that it suffered a lot of damage is the result of no preemptive measures. In particular, it can be said that the damage was caused by the concentration of residential and commercial facilities due to the unplanned urban expansion without prior review of the feng shui geography of settlement areas. The important lesson we have learned is that we should recognize nature as living things and live in harmony and coexistence between humans and nature through understanding and cooperation. Adapting to changes in the environment can survive, but if it doesn't, it will be slaughtered. As such, geography influences changes in feng shui. Changes in feng shui have a profound effect on not only humans but also the natural ecosystem.

전산유동 수치모형을 이용하여 다양한 대기안정도 상태하에서 부산광역시내 승학산과 구덕산의 초고해상도 풍력자원을 평가하였다. 연구에 사용된 수치모형은 중규모와 미규모 기상현상의 재현에 널리 사용되는 전산유동 수치모형인 A2C이다. 대기안정도가 강할 때, 위치에너지의 크기가 상대적으로 강해지기 때문에 산을 넘어가는 경향이 나타난다. 반면 대기안정도가 약해지면서 산악후면의 후류 발생이 증대되며, 난류에너지가 증가한다. 그리고 연평균 풍력밀도, 난류운동에너지, 연직 바람전단력 분석을 통하여 구덕산 정상의 남쪽 부근이 다른 구역보다 가용 풍력자원이 풍부함을 확인하였다.

Since open-cut mining excavates gradually from the top of the mountain, vegetation planting is needed to reduce negative environmental impact on the surrounding environment. Accordingly, this study aimed at performing the environmental monitoring of the open-cut mining ground using the satellite remote sensing technique. As the research technique, in order to grasp the environmental change around the open-cut mining ground, NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) was calculated, and every year change of the vegetation activity was analyzed. The results of the study showed lower vegetation activity in the open-cut mining ground compared to the surrounding areas and suggested the need for closed monitoring by remote sensing techniques.

The aim of this study is to seek application plans of National Ecosystem Survey database based on comparison and examination of feasible analysis methods for distribution characteristics of alien plants. In order to set up a correlation analysis method between alien plants and environmental factors, we had reviewed the 3rd National Ecosystem Survey guide book and consequently, two kinds of analysis method were tested. One was 1/25,000 scale map boundary based analysis and the other was representative mountain area based analysis. In this study we restricted the research area to select reliable surveyed database from whole "2011 National Ecosystem Survey flora database" according to two major criteria. First, an area defined by 1/25,000 scale map boundary and representative mountain area where the number of surveyed flora records should be within top 20%. Second, land cover map should also be built up inside that area. As a result, 25 map boundaries and 25 representative mountain areas were extracted to be analyzed. To limit a boundary for every representative mountain area we had analyzed distribution of environmental factors around that area by manual inspection with SPOT-5 remote sensed satellite image then designated 3km buffer zone from each alien plant location in that area. After then, naturalized index (NI) and urbanized index (UI) was calculated and correlations analysis was carried out. With the result of correlation analysis by map boundary only agricultural land area showed significant value of r (0.4~0.6, correlated) and the rest of factors did not. In the case of representative mountain area, the result showed that agricultural land, road and forest area showed significant value of r (0.6~0.8, highly correlated) which was corresponding to existing researches. Therefore, representative mountain area based method is preferable when using the alien plants database of National Ecosystem Survey for species distribution analysis. And also, considering the way of database utilization is strongly suggested at the first stage of survey planning for promoting active use of national ecosystem survey database.

Extreme climate events can have a large impact on human life by hampering social, environmental, and economic development. Global circulation models (GCMs) are the widely used numerical models to understand the anticipated future climate change. However, different GCMs can project different future climates due to structural differences, varying initial boundary conditions and assumptions about the physical phenomena. The multi-model ensemble (MME) approach can improve the uncertainties associated with the different GCM outcomes. In this study, a comprehensive rating metric was used to select the best-performing GCMs out of 11 CMIP5 and 13 CMIP6 GCMs, according to their skills in terms of four temporal and five spatial performance indices, in replicating the 21 extreme climate indices during the baseline (1975-2017) in South Korea. The MME data were derived by averaging the simulations from all selected GCMs and three top-ranked GCMs. The random forest (RF) algorithm was also used to derive the MME data from the three top-ranked GCMs. The RF-derived MME data of the three top-ranked GCMs showed the highest performance in simulating the baseline extreme climate which was subsequently used to project the future extreme climate indices under both the representative concentration pathway (RCP) and the socioeconomic concentration pathway scenarios (SSP). The extreme cold and warming indices had declining and increasing trends, respectively, and most extreme precipitation indices had increasing trends over the period 2031-2100. Compared to all scenarios, RCP8.5 showed drastic changes in future extreme climate indices. The coasts in the east, south and west had stronger warming than the rest of the country, while mountain areas in the north experienced more extreme cold. While extreme cold climatology gradually declined from north to south, extreme warming climatology continuously grew from coastal to inland and northern mountainous regions. The results showed that the socially, environmentally and agriculturally important regions of South Korea were at increased risk of facing the detrimental impacts of extreme climatology.

생물다양성우수지역은 종다양성이 가장 우수한 지역 또는 훼손될 우려가 가장 큼에도 생물상이 가장 다양한 지역으로서, 생물다양성 보전을 위한 최적지를 선택하는 데 필수적인 요소이다. 이 연구의 목적은 포유류를 대상으로 전국단위에서 종풍부도, 희귀도를 분석하여 생물다양성우수지역을 파악하는 것이다. 대상종은 멸종위기 포유류 4종, 일반종 11종 등 총 15종을 선정하였다. 지형, 거리, 식생구조 등을 환경변수로 설정하였고, Maxent(Maximum Entropy Method)를 활용하여 종분포모형을 구축하였다. 종풍부도와 종희귀도를 통해 생물다양성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째, 종풍부도를 분석한 결과, 멸종위기 포유류를 대상으로 할 때에는 높고 가파른 산림이 생물다양성우수지역인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 전체종을 대상으로 했을 때는 저지대 산림에서 종풍부도가 높았다. 두 번째, 멸종위기 포유류를 대상으로 할 때에는 희귀도와 종풍부도가 유사한 공간분포를 보였다. 그러나 전체종을 대상으로 할때에는 저지대 산림 뿐만 아니라 고지대 산림에서도 다소 희귀도가 높은 것으로 나타나, 종풍부도와는 다소 다른 공간분포를 보였다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 추후 생물다양성 평가, 서식지 보전, 생태축 구축, 보호지역 관리 등에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
