국토교통부가 발표한 도시계획현황에 따르면 현재 전국의 도시계획시설 미집행면적은 약 $1,257km^2$에 이르며, 그중 공원과 녹지의 미집행면적은 약 47%를 차지한다. 특히, 서울의 경우 전체 도시계획시설의 미집행면적은 약 $66km^2$이며, 이는 전국 미집행면적의 5.24%에 해당하며, 전체 미집행면적의 약 88%가 공원과 녹지의 미집행면적으로 이는 전국의 비율보다 높게 나타났다. 또한, 이 중 약 92%가 10년 이상 된 장기 미집행 도시계획시설이다. 본 연구는 서울시 미집행 도시계획시설 중 공원과 녹지를 대상으로 메타회귀분석방법을 적용하여 도시 녹지가 제공하는 조절서비스, 지원서비스, 문화서비스에 대한 생태계 서비스의 경제적 가치를 추정하였다. 연구 결과, 서울시의 미집행 공원 및 녹지가 제공하는 조절서비스의 가치는 약 163억 9,201만 원, 지원서비스의 가치는 약 58억 7,323만 원, 문화서비스의 가치는 약 77억 8,441만원으로 나타났으며, 전체 생태계 서비스의 가치는 약 339억 2,541만 원으로 나타났다. 조절서비스와 문화서비스의 가치가 제일 높게 나타났으며, 이는 도심지에 위치한 대상지의 특성에 기인한 것으로 분석된다. 본 연구는 서울시의 미집행 공원 및 녹지에 대한 생태계 서비스의 가치를 평가하였다는 것에 의의가 있으며, 본 연구의 결과는 도시계획 혹은 정책결정의 과정에서 유용하게 쓰일 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 최근 전 세계적으로 대두되고 있는 생태계 서비스 지불제의 개념을 적용한다면 미집행 도시계획시설 보상의 근거자료로 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

유네스코 세계자연보전연맹은 전세계의 생물다양성 보전, 문화다양성 보호를 위해 '자연성지' (특정 민족이나 공동체에게 특별한 영적 중요성을 갖는 육상 또는 해상의 지역) 개념을 정립하였다. 수 백년 이상의 당산제 역사를 갖고 있는 농어촌 전통마을숲인 당산숲은 한국을 대표하는 '자연성지'라고 할 수 있다. 부안군 격포리 죽막마을은 작은 해안마을이지만, 국내최대의 고대 해양 제사터가 있는 중요한 곳이다. 부안군청에서는 '부안 죽막동 제사유적' 에 대해 세계유산 등재를 추진하고 있다. 그러나, 이러한 '부안 죽막동 제사유적' (5~6세기, 삼국시대 백제)이 마을 당집(수성당)을 둘러싸고 있는 당산숲 안에서 발굴된 사실은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이 연구는 부안 격포리를 중심으로, 인근의 대리, 내소사 석포리, 고창 동호리 등 네 곳 당산숲의 경관 특성과 그 문화를 고찰한 것이다. 그리고, 이들 네 곳의 당산숲을 연계하여, 세계유산-'자연성지 보호지역'으로 지정하는 방안을 고찰하였다. 격포리 일원 당산숲은 저 마다의 경관 특징을 간직한 채 생활문화로서의 전통이 잘 남아있다. 격포리 일원 당산숲의 자연성지로서의 잠재력과 제한요인을 검토하기 위한 SWOT 분석 결과, WT(약점-위협)전략을 중점전략으로 선정하였다. 그 이유는 현재 당산숲에 대한 효과적인 관리체계가 거의 없기 때문이다. 이들이 세계유산으로 등재되기 위해서는 먼저, 국내에서 이들 당산숲으로 이루어진 경관의 특성이 밝혀지고, 자연성지 보호지역으로 지정되기 위한 선행 조치가 이루어져야 한다.

A habitat model was developed to delineate potential habitat of the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) in a mountainous region of Kangwon Province, Korea. Between 1997 and 2005, 224 leopard cat presence sites were recorded in the province in the Nationwide Survey on Natural Environments. Fifty percent of the sites were used to develop a habitat model, and the remaining sites were used to test the model. Fourteen environmental variables related to topographic features, water resources, vegetation and human disturbance were quantified for 112 of the leopard cat presence sites and an equal number of randomly selected sites. Statistical analyses (e.g., t-tests, and Pearson correlation analysis) showed that elevation, ridges, plains, % water cover, distance to water source, vegetated area, deciduous forest, coniferous forest, and distance to paved road differed significantly (P < 0.01) between presence and random sites. Stepwise logistic regression was used to develop a habitat model. Landform type (e.g., ridges vs. plains) is the major topographic factor affecting leopard cat presence. The species also appears to prefer deciduous forests and areas far from paved roads. The habitat map derived from the model correctly classified 93.75% of data from an independent sample of leopard cat presence sites, and the map at a regional scale showed that the cat's habitats are highly fragmented. Protection and restoration of connectivity of critical habitats should be implemented to preserve the leopard cat in mountainous regions of Korea.

한국에서 산림생태계의 구조적 변화를 예측하기 위하여, 산림 면적과 임목축적량의 변화와 조림지에서 임상식생구조를 문헌조사에 의하여 파악하였다. 한국의 삼림은 1950년대에 심하게 훼손되었지만, 1970~1980년대에 활발히 조림하여 임목축적량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 하지만 삼림면적은 5,500 ha 년$^{-1}$씩 감소하고 있다. 임목축적량 변화에 대한 회귀분석 결과에 의하면 임목축적량을 기준으로 성숙림으로 기대되는 해는 약 2150년으로 예측된다. 현재 일본잎갈나무, 잣나무 및 아까시나무 조림지에는 신갈나무, 물푸레나무, 산벚나무등의 잠재자연식생이 형성되고 있으므로 미래에 이들의 숲이 형성될 것으로 기대된다.

The establishment of invasive alien species management is widely recognized as a pivotal issue in the preservation of biodiversity. Ranunculus sardous Crantz, a species native to Europe, has been widely introduced in many other areas of the world, including the coasts of the United States, Australia, China, India, and Japan. In Korea, the first population of this plant was found growing adjacent to a wetland in Hanon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Province, on 22 May 2018. Field observations confirmed the presences of at least two populations of this species in Jeju Province, Korea. This species is similar to Ranunculus sceleratus L., but can be readily distinguished by its presence of the trichomes in the whole plant, longer petioles of radical leaves, ovate-shaped leaf segments, globose to subglobose-shaped fruits and flat achenes with narrowly winged and papillae. The Invasive Alien Plant Risk Assessment (IAPRA), a system for recognizing and categorizing alien plants in Korea forests, was used to assess the invasiveness status of the species. Based on this system, R. sardous received a low score of 6, suggesting its potential invasion to natural forests. Although the current distribution of R. sardous is restricted to Jeju Province and thus far has had limited impact on local environments, local and regulatory authorities should pay close attention to this plant and take measures to prevent its further expansion.

In Japan, about 67% of the land is covered by forests and about 41% of them consist of plantations. About 35% of the plantations consist of old-aged plantations of older than 50 yearsand the percentage is projected to 67% in ten years' time. Although the trees of these plantations are supposed to be cut for timber production, most of them remain unmanaged and thus overcrowded mainly due to declining domestic forest industry. Since the forests are mostly located in headwater watershed, there are growing concerns about the degradation of water resources by these unmanaged plantations. To understand the ecohydrological processes in these plantations and examine the effect of intensive 50-60 % thinning to increase infiltration rate and reduce overland flow and soil erosion by recovering understory vegetation, the JST-CREST project "Development of Innovative Technologies for Increasing in Watershed Runoff and Improving River Environment by the Management Practice of Devastated Forest Plantation (Representative: Yuichi Onda)" has been launched since 2009. The ultimate objective of this project is to provide potential scenario to enhance low flow discharge in drought period and reduce turbid material in high flow period. We have been conductingintensive field observation campaign in five research sites across Japan. In Fukuoka site, integrated ecohydrological observations have been conductedin two contrastive watersheds since 2010. Intensive 50% thinning was conducted from January to April 2012 and comparative studies of ecohydrological processes before and after thinning have been started. The interim results from all the sites of this project will be presented in the 3rd International Congress for Forest and Water in a Changing Environment held in Fukuoka during 18-20 September, 2012 (http://www.forest.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~ecohydrol/3ForestWater/index.html).

Objectives: The occurrence characteristics of BTEXS and phytoncides were investigated by type of urban forest. Methods: Four types of urban green space (Hongneung Forest, Mt. Chunjang, residential park, and traffic island) and Gwangneung Forest were selected. Monitoring of phytoncides and BTEXS was conducted considering the activity times of urban residents (five times per day) using a Tenax TA tube and suction pump in June 2017 (one day). Results: Phytoncide concentrations were ranked as Gwangneung Forest>Hongneung Forest>Mt. Cheonjang>traffic island>residential park. Relatively high concentrations of phytoncides were also identified in the urban forest. There was no significant difference between Gwangneung Forest and the urban forest. BTEXS concentrations were ranked as traffic island>residential park>Hongneung Forest>Gwangneung Forest>Mt. Cheonjang. Traffic island and residential park showed high levels of BTEXS depending on the inflow of vehicles. The difference in concentration by time was significant for the traffic island in particular. Pollutant levels in Hongneung Forest were as low as in Gwangneung Forest. Conclusion: The concentrations of phytoncides and BTEXS were different by types of urban green space, and the potential for health and hygiene of urban forests were able to be investigated. This study is expected to provide as basic data for the creation of urban forest spaces in the future.

Fast-grown wood generally contains a high proportion of juvenile wood that results in inferior dimensional stability and durability against biological deteriorations. In the present research, the Acacia mangium wood from plantation forests in Vietnam was treated with high temperature in air. The effects of heat treatment on physical properties of Acacia mangium wood, including mass loss (ML), water absorption (WA), water-repellent effectiveness (WRE) and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) were examined. The results showed that the dimensional stability and the water-repellent effectiveness are increased by about 15-46% and 8-18%, respectively. However, the mass and dimension of wood are decreased. The results also indicated that both treatment temperature and treatment duration significantly affect the wood properties of Acacia mangium. It is thus concluded that heat treatment demonstrates an interesting potential to improve the wood quality of Acacia mangium for solid timber products. This technology provides an environmentally safe method of protecting sustainable common woods to give a new generation of value-added biomaterials with increased stability without the use of toxic chemicals.

Fungal endophytes are defined as fungi inhabiting plant tissues, causing no apparent disease. As the agricultural and ecological importance of endophytes has increased, many studies have been performed on various aspects, ranging from basic identification, taxonomy, and evolution to secondary metabolites with potential for human use. In the Korean Peninsula, conifers are the most commonly found evergreen trees, with approximately 30 to 60 reported taxa. Studies on the effect of conifer-associated endophytes on the host plants are required for the preservation and conservation of coniferous forests which decline by climate change and deforestation. This review summarizes the diversity of endophytic fungi in coniferous trees of Korea and their relationship with host plants.
