An understanding of safety problems pursuant to environmental release of GM (Genetically Modified) crops is considered important. Among the recognized safety problems, the possibilities of weediness and ecosystem invasion are constantly being validated. We herein compared the growth characteristics and germination rate of soybeans formed by hybridization with vitamin A-enhanced soybeans carrying an introduced gene that increases β-carotene content. We also examined overwintering, survival, and weed competitiveness to evaluate hybrid ecological impact on long-term unmanaged cultivatable land. These studies revealed that the hybrid soybeans exhibited intermediate growth characteristics and germination rate compared with the vitamin A-enhanced soybeans and wild soybeans, or exhibited traits similar to those of the maternal strain. Overwintering experiments were conducted by planting seeds at depths of 0, 5, 10, and 20 cm and recovering them after three or five months. After five months, all seeds at depths more than 5 cm lost viability. Among seeds recovered after three months, only wild soybeans retained viability at depths of more than 5 cm. Survival and weed competitiveness were assessed by sowing each type of seed and performing no irrigation, or pest or weed control. Quantitative assessment of numbers of individual soybean plants that appeared in the experimental plot revealed that all plants germinated after sowing, but only wild type plants survived overwintering. These studies suggest that both GM soybeans and hybrid soybeans cannot survive in uncultivated land even if they are released into the environment, which indicates less possibility of ecosystem invasion and weediness.

토양의 비옥도를 높여주는 분식성 곤충으로써 우리나라에 서식하고 있는 애기뿔소똥구리(Copris tripartitus)의 발육생태를 각 온도에서 관찰하였다. 대량증식 및 환경변화 모델 적용을 위해 15, 17.5, 20, 25, 27.5 및 $30^{\circ}C$(16L:8D)에서 발육실험을 한 결과 알에서 우화까지의 발육기간은 $17.5^{\circ}C$에서 118.0일이고, $27.5^{\circ}C$에서는 49.3일이었다. 온도가 높을수록 짧은 발육기간을 보였으며, 알, 유충, 용, 알에서 우화까지의 발육영점온도와 유효적산온도는 각각 12.1, 11.2, 12.1, $9.2^{\circ}C$, 그리고 82.7, 462.0, 225.7, 947.2일도이었다. 난 및 유충의 발육단계에서 사망률은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 가장 낮게 나타나 애기뿔소똥구리의 성장에 적합한 온도는 $25^{\circ}C$이었다.

In Asia, including Japan and Korea, rice paddies occupy the largest cultivated area in agricultural land. Rice paddies provide the habitats for many organisms including endemic species, sustaining high biodiversity. Insect natural enemies inhabiting rice paddies have an important function for rice production as agents of 'ecosystem services' because they play a major role in suppressing rice pests. The diversity and abundance of natural enemies can be a good index reflecting the 'healthiness' of agro-ecosystem services in rice paddies. The present study investigates whether insect natural enemies could be good biological indicators for general arthropod biodiversity and agricultural practice. First, the concept of ideal bio-indicators was summarized. The strategy to explore and select such bio-indicators was then proposed. Lastly, field survey was made to evaluate the abundance and biodiversity of natural enemies in Japanese rice paddies where chemical inputs, i.e., insecticide use, were different. The results showed that reduction of chemical inputs led to an increase in species richness or diversity of natural enemies including parasitoids and predators. Then, the data were analyzed to examine suitable indicator species to assess environmental soundness of agricultural practice and biodiversity in rice paddies. The density of several species of natural enemies did respond both to pesticide use and to general arthropod biodiversity. The analyses thus have indicated that natural enemies can be suitable as bio-indicators. Usefulness of indicator species in rice paddies is discussed in the context of ecologically sound agriculture.

본 연구는 시설원예단지의 경관개선점을 찾아보고 친환경적 조성방법과 생태계 서비스 기능이 최소화로 저감될 수 있는 방안제시를 목표로 했다. 연구결과 대부분의 평가요소에서 네덜란드, 일본 경관은 긍정적인 결과였으나 우리나라 경관은 다소 부정적으로 분석되어 비닐하우스는 일본을 유리온실은 네덜란드 경관으로 개선방향을 설정 할 것을 제안하였다. 따라서 미래세대에 지속가능한 농업경관을 제공하기 위한 방안으로 생태계서비스 기능 중 경관창출을 고려한 친환경 온실단지 조성을 제안을 제안하였으며, 앞으로 추진될 대규모 간척지 개발 사업에도 본 연구가 활용되길 기대하였다.

The A1B scenario predicts that the mean air temperature of South Korea will rise up to $3.8^{\circ}C$ by 2071. However, the effects of ecosystem services are declining because of various environmental problems, including climate change, land use change, stream intensification, non-point pollution, and untreated garbage. Moreover, horticultural sites which have various ecosystem services suffer highly absorbed heat from the heat island phenomenon associated with climate change. Therefore, we analyzed the heat island phenomenon occurring in an protected horticulture estimated area in Saemanguem, South Korea. Using an advanced measurement method, we examined the air temperature change derived from water channels as well as open spaces. The CFD analysis of coverage ratio 85% design showed wind speed of 2.09 m/s and temperature of $38.07^{\circ}C$. At a coverage ratio of 70%, the wind speed was improved to 2.61 m/s and the temperature was improved to $36.89^{\circ}C$. In Alternative 2 with wetlands and trees, the wind speed was 2.71 m/s and the temperature was $35.90^{\circ}C$. When the coverage ratio decreases to 55%, the wind speed increases showing 3.06 m/s and the temperature decreases showing $35.18^{\circ}C$.

Protected horticultural complexes would increase crop productivity but would adversely affect the groundwater recharge function in the area because the impervious area would increase. Further, they would limit the movement of living beings, affecting biodiversity. Therefore, this study evaluated the groundwater ecosystem services provided by protected horticultural complexes in terms of consistent utilization of water. The estimated amounts of groundwater loss obtained through quantitative assessment of groundwater infiltration showed that a higher impervious area results in higher losses. We, therefore, predict a much higher loss if similar changes in land use are realized on a nationwide scale. A plan to promote groundwater recharge in impervious areas is actively being discussed for urban areas; however, this plan is not yet applicable to farming areas. We consider it is essential to develop groundwater infiltration facilities for horticultural complexes, infiltration trenches, permeable pavements, surface water storage facilities, water purification facilities, etc. Further research and development of groundwater infiltration facilities is important for consistent utilization of water and the improvement of ecosystem services.

One of the most important justifications of conservation of ecosystem and biodiversity is that diversity begets stability. Impact of biodiversity on community and ecosystem function has long been debated in science. Here we report the stability analysis of soil oribatid mite communities from environmentally stressed habitat(Namsan) and relatively well preserved habitat (Kwangreung) with the perspective of consistency as a primary criteria of stability. Stability of oribatid mite communities were evaluated with turnover rate, constancy analysis, b diversity index, and absolute abundance, abundance ranking, and the presence or absence of species over time. Out of 6 criteria, three consented that oribatid community from Kwangreung was more stable than that from Namsan. Those are turnover rate in litter layer, constancy analysis, and absolute abundance. Feasibility of stability analysis using oribatid mites was further discussed, rendering further study.

본 논문은 가상 생태계의 개념과 가상생태계를 구현하는데 중요하게 사용되어 질 수 있는 세 가지 수학적-물리학적 접근법을 응용 예와 함께 소개 하였다. 가상생태계란 개체기반 모델로써 인공생명체들이 가상 환경하에서 스스로 행동하면서 살아가는 것을 모사하는 컴퓨터 내에 구현된 생태계를 의미한다. 생물의 무리행동을 전산 모사하는 분자동역학모사 접근법과, 흰개미 영토를 전산 모사하는 확률적 격자모델 접근법, 그리고 생물막 성장을 전산 모사하는 규칙기반-세포자동자모델 접근법을 소개하였다. 실 생태계와의 유사성을 높이기 위해 가상생태계 모델은 많은 변수들을 사용하여야 하지만, 기술적인 측면에서 이러한 변수들을 모두 결정하기는 어렵다. 그러나 현재의 눈부신 컴퓨터 성능향상에 힘입어 많은 부분이 극복 되어 지고 있다. 특히, 가상생태계는 기후변화와 같은 환경재앙을 포함하여 많은 복잡한 생태학적 현상을 개체수준의 낮은 계층에서부터 생물집단 또는 외부 환경수준과 같은 높은 계층까지를 통합적으로 이해하는데 큰 도움을 줄수 있을 것이다. 마지막으로 논문에서는 높은 수준의 계층인 기후변화가 낮은 수준의 계층인 개체기반의 흰개미 생태계에 미치는 복잡한 문제를 어떻게 다룰 수 있는지에 대한 예를 들고 간략하게 논의하였다.
