Background: Standing biomass, litter production, rate of litter decomposition, amount of litter on forest floor, and amount of soil organic carbon distribution were investigated from March 2016 to November 2018 in order to evaluate the ecosystem value through organic carbon distribution in the Pinus densiflora forest at Namsan, Seoul Metropolitan City. Results: The amount of organic carbon in the Pinus densiflora forest was 261.09 ton C ha^-1 during the research period, and fixed organic carbon in plant through net photosynthesis was 3.2 ton C ha^-1 year^-1. The organic carbon in plant was 62.77 ton C ha^-1 (24.04%), in litter on the forest floor was 3.65 ton C ha^-1 (1.40%), and in soil was 194.67 ton C ha^-1 (74.56%). The value of plant, litter on forest floor, and soil organic carbon distribution were each 6,277,000 won ha^-1, 365, 000 won ha^-1, and 19,467,000 won ha^-1. The value per ton of fixed organic carbon in plant through net photosynthesis was 320,000 won ha^-1 year^-1 and the value of ecosystem services stored in carbon in the Namsan forest ecosystem was about 26.1 million won ha^-1 for 3 years. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the pine forests of Namsan rapidly decompose leaves due to the high atmospheric temperature and accumulate a large amount of organic carbon in the soil to provide climate control regulatory service function.

Though many papers have reported the nutrition value of Chlorella their results are all different because of the differences in processing method. To investigate its processing and nutrition value we provided the white rats with the Chlorella that were treated with boiling methanol. The results obtained in this investigation are summarized as follows: Two groups. which were fed with 20% Chlorella protein and 10% Chlorella plus 0.37% $_{DL}-methionine$ gained less weight than the 10% egg protein group but equaled the 20% egg protein group in weight gain. The digestion rates calculated from ordinary N-balance method were 83.6% for 20% Chlorella, 81.7% for 10% Chlorella, and 84.9% for 10% Chlorella plus methionine group. This value is lower than 20% Egg (93.8%) and 10% Egg group (89.6%) Biological values from this method were 78.3% for 20% Chlorella and 79.1% for 10% Chlorella group, being lower than 20% Egg (85.2%), 10% Egg (93.2%). But the biological value of 10% Chlorella group was markedly enhanced to 92.2%, a value comparable to that of 10% Egg group, by adding methionine.

서식처 유형에 따른 배스의 식성을 비교하기 위해 하천과 저수지에서 2016년 4월부터 9월까지 306개체의 배스를 채집한 후 먹이생물을 분석하였다. 그 결과 하천과 저수지에 서식하는 배스의 가장 중요한 먹이생물은 어류로 확인되었다. 그러나 저수지에 서식하는 배스의 소화관 내용물에는 어류뿐 아니라 갑각류와 곤충류의 비율도 높게 나타나 하천에 서식하는 배스와 섭식 차이를 보였다.

청국장 제품의 저장조건 및 유통기간 중에 상품성의 변화를 조사하기 위하여 살균온도, 저장온도 및 저장기간별로 관능적 특성과 색도의 변화를 측정하여 SAS program의 반응표면분석법으로 monitoring하였다. 진공 포장한 청국장의 명도(L)값은 살균온도, 저장기간 및 저장온도 모두 1% 이내에서 유의확률을 가지는 것으로 나타나 세 조건 모두가 명도에 영향성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 적색도(a)값은 진공포장의 경우 살균온도와 저장온도가 높을수록 증가하며 각기 독립적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 일반포장의 경우, 저장온도가 높을수록 유의적 값(10% 이내)이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 황색도(b)값은 진공 포장한 경우, 저장기간과 저장온도는 1% 이내에서, 살균온도의 경우 5% 이내에서 유의확률을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 두 포장군 모두 정상점이 안장점의 형태로 나타났다. 관능적 평가 중 외관에 대한 적합성은 두 포장군 모두 저장온도가 1% 이내의 유의확률로 결정적인 영향을 주었고, 냄새에 대한 적합성은 진공포장의 경우 살균온도가 10% 이내의 유의확률로서 관련성이 있었으나, 일반포장은 저장기간이 1% 이내, 살균온도가 5% 이내 유의확률로서 영향성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 맛에 대한 적합성에서는 진공포장한 경우 저장기간이 1% 이내의 높은 관련성이 있었고, 일반포장은 저장온도가 5% 이내의 유의확률로서 관련성이 있었다. 관능검사의 전체적인 평가에서는 진공포장의 경우 살균온도가 $61.92^{\circ}C$, 저장 온도 $6.79^{\circ}C$, 저장기간 56.48일에서 5.15로 최대 값을 나타내었다.

최근 고부가가치 산물의 생산이 가능한 미세조류는 이산화탄소의 생물학적 전환 측면에서 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 그렇지만 미세조류 종 자체가 지닌 낮은 광합성 효율 및 생산성의 한계는 미세조류를 활용한 공정의 상업화를 막는 장애요인이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대표 미세조류 Chlamydomonas reinhardtii의 광독립영양 성장성 분석을 위한 미세액적 광생물반응기를 개발하였다. PDMS 기반의 미세유체 칩 내에 미세기둥을 배열하고 미세챔버의 높이를 조절하여 미세액적 내 이산화탄소의 전달속도를 증가시켰으며, 이는 세포 성장성과 형광 세기 변화를 통해 확인하였다. 마지막으로 미세액적 광생물반응기를 활용하여 다양한 이산화탄소 농도 및 광량 조건에서 C. reinhardtii의 광독립영양배양에서 성장성을 96 시간동안 관찰하고 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 미세액적 광생물반응기는 성장성 및 유용물질 생산성이 우수한 미세조류 종을 빠르게 분석하고 쉽게 분리할 수 있는 효율적인 플랫폼임을 입증하였다.

Integrated coastal management (ICM) requires robust indicators that gauge the 'health' of the coast in relation to environmental, social and economic activities. Biological indicators(bio-indicators) offer a signal of the biological condition in an ecosystem. Using bio-indicators as an early warning of pollution or degradation in an ecosystem can help sustain critical resources. This review examines the rationale and value of selecting species as bio-indicators of human induced changes within estuaries, using examples from both the western and southern coast. It include a range of biological parameters relating to particular species, groups of species and biological processes. The use of these indicators is critically reviewed and the presence or absence of a relevant framework for their use in Korean ICM programs is discussed.

Freshwater ecosystems have a large reserve of latent biological resources that play an essential ecological role, and have significant economic and social value. Fungi in freshwater are prospective materials that can be used in the food, medicine, and biomass energy fields. In this study, three promising fungal species were isolated from freshwater ecosystems in Korea. These isolates were identified as Mortierella biramosa, Paraphoma radicina, and Sordaria macrospora, based on their cultural and morphological characteristics, as well as molecular phylogenetic analyses. These species were previously unknown in Korea. The finding allows us to explore its physiological and biochemical characteristics in more detail and use them as biological resources.

We report on the culture growth and stress-induced secondary carotenogenesis in a biotechnologically promising but largely unexplored chlorophyte Coelastrella rubescens strain Vinatzer/Innsbruck V 195. Changes in the cell morphometry, biomass accumulation, its carotenoid and fatty acid profiles were followed in the cultures supplemented with either inorganic ($CO_2$) or organic (sodium acetate) carbon on the background of low-pH stress. Collectively, the results of the study characterize C. rubescens as a biotechnologically promising, potentially double-purpose organism. It produces several secondary keto-carotenoids with a considerable proportion of astaxanthin and canthaxanthin. At the same time, the cell lipid fatty acid profile of this microalga is suitable for obtaining a high-quality biodiesel complying with the strictest EN14214 European standard.

Background: Climate change significantly influences the geographical distribution of plant species worldwide. Selecting indicator species allows for better-informed and more effective ecosystem management in response to climate change. The Korean Peninsula is the northernmost distribution zone of warm temperate evergreen broad-leaved (WTEB) species in Northeast Asia. Considering the ecological value of these species, we evaluated the current distribution range and future suitable habitat for 13 WTEB tree species designated as climate-sensitive biological indicator species. Results: Up-to-date and accurate WTEB species distribution maps were constructed using herbarium specimens and citizen science data from the Korea Biodiversity Observation Network. Current northern limits for several species have shifted to higher latitudes compared to previous records. For example, the northern latitude limit for Stauntonia hexaphylla is higher (37° 02' N, Deokjeokdo archipelago) than that reported previously (36° 13' N). The minimum temperature of the coldest month (Bio6) is the major factor influencing species distribution. Under future climate change scenarios, suitable habitats are predicted to expand toward higher latitudes inland and along the western coastal areas. Conclusions: Our results support the suitability of WTEB trees as significant biological indicators of species' responses to warming. The findings also suggest the need for consistent monitoring of species distribution shifts. This study provides an important baseline dataset for future monitoring and management of indicator species' responses to changing climate conditions in South Korea.
