This study was carried out to improve the method of tapping sap from Betula platyphylla Sukatschev, Betula costata Trautv., Betula schmidtii Regel, Betula davurica Pallas, Betula ermanii Cham, Acer mono Maxim and Acer pseudo-sieboldianum Kom and to use it to natural drinks. The mal or results are as follows: 1. It is no difference of the amount of sap by tapping methods and species of trees. The larger D.B.H. is, the more amount of sap can be gotten. So we thought that the best tapping method is hole-drilling to prevent trees from damage. 2. Sap contains sugars and mineral materials. Birches have glucose and fructose, much more mineral materials than maples. Sugar of maples is mainly sucrose. 3. We assume that mineral materials of birches are effective to urination, to make a stong dody and sucrose of maples is effective to recover from one's fatigue by controlling the blood sugar. 4. In vacuum packing after sterilizing the sap in low temperature, it could be stored more 1 year. So, it is possible that sap will be commercialized.

수액은 약리작용이 있다하여 민간요법으로 오랜기간 이용되어 왔으나 이에 관한 과학적인 연구는 의외로 적다. 더우기 요즈음은 환경오염이 심각해짐에 따라 자연 무공해 식품에 대한 관심이 증가하여 수액의 효율적인 이용이 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 자작나무류, 대나무류 및 다래나무 수액을 이용하여 천연 건강음료로 개발하기 위한 기초자료를 얻고져 무기물, 유리당, 아미노산, 핵산관련 물질 등을 분석하였다. 수액 중 무기물은 총 5종이 검출되었으며 이들의 함량은 칼슘, 칼륨이 월등히 많았고 다음으로 마그네슘, 나트륨, 철분의 순이었다. 특히 대나무류 수액에서 무기물이 풍부하여 칼슘이 242.0~422.1mg/L, 칼륨이 793.8~2504.1mg/L 및 마그네슘이 72.6~165.9mg/L로 높게 정량되었다. 유리당은 glucose, fructose, sucrose가 검출되었고, malrose는 검출되지 않았다. 자작나무 수액(#2)에서 glucose(42.1g/L), fructose(36.9g/L)가 가장 높게 검출되었다. 핵산관련 물질은 CMP, UMP가 정량되었고 GMP, IMP, AMP, hypoxanthine은 거의 검출되지 않았다. 아미노산은 18종 검출되었는데 총 아미노산은 2.4~30.4mg% 범위였으며, 주요 아미노산은 자작나무 수액(#1, #2)에서 taurine, glycine, lysine, alanine과 threonine이었으며, 거제수나무 수액(#3)과 물박달나무 수액(#4)에서는 glutamic acid와 lysine, 대나무 수액(#5, #6, #7)은 lysine, valine, alanine, serine, tyrosine과 glutamic acid였고, 다래나무 수액(#8)은 leucine과 alanin이었다.

The effects on birch (Betula spp.) of elevated carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and ozone ($O_3$), which are both increasing in the troposphere, are surveyed in detail based on the literature. Birches establish themselves in the open field after disturbances, and then become dominant trees in temperate or boreal forests. Ecophysiological approaches include the measurement of photosynthesis, biomass, growth, and survival of seedlings and trees. Elevated $CO_2$ levels give rise to a net enhancement of the growth of birch trees, whereas high $O_3$ generally reduces growth. Although the effects of the two are opposed, there is also an interactive effect. Basic physiological responses of the single genus Betula to $CO_2$ and $O_3$ are set out, and some data are summarized regarding ecological interactions between trees, or between trees and other organisms.

Inonotus obliquus is a fungus that causes white heart rot on several broad-leaved species. This fungus forms typical charcoal-black, sterile conks (chaga) or cinder conks on infected stems of the birche (Betula spp). The dark brown pulp of the sterile conk is formed by a pure mycelial mass of fungus. Chaga are a folk remedy in Russia, reflecting the circumboreal distribution of I. obliquus in boreal forest ecosystems on Betula spp. and in meridional mountain forests on beech (Fagus spp.) in Russia, Scandinavia, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe. Distribution at lower latitudes in Western and Southern Europe, Northern America, Asia, Japan, and Korea is rare. Infected trees grow for many years without several symptoms of decline. The infection can penetrate through stem injuries with exterior sterile conks developing later. In the Czech Republic, cinder conk is found on birches inhabiting peat bogs and in mountain areas with a colder and more humid climate, although it is widespread in other broad leaved species over the Czech Republic. The most common hosts are B. pendula, B. pubescens, B. carpatica, and F. sylvatica. Less frequent hosts include Acer campestre, Acer pseudoplatanus, Alnus glutinosa, Alnus incana, Fraxinus excelsior, Quercus cerris, Q. petraea, Q. robur, Q. delachampii, and Ulmus sp.

산불피해 임지의 식생복원 정도 및 문제점을 파악하기 위하여 산불발생 후 임목피해, 식생회복력 등의 조사 연구를 수행하였다. 소나무 고사율은 수간 및 수관의 피해흔적이 심할수록 피해율이 높았다. 산불피해지에 있어서 수관화에 의해 임분이 전소되는 피해를 받은 지역에서의 식생회복은 대부분이 매토종자 및 맹아에 의한 식생의 회복이 진행되었다. 식생회복과 복원력은 전생 임분의 식생상태와 토심에 따라서 차이가 나타났다. 인공복원의 경우 자작나무 조림지의 경우에는 병충해에 의한 피해가 발생하기도 하였다. 소나무, 해송 조림지의 경우 입지에 따른 생장차이 보다는 조사지내 개체목간의 생장차이가 다소 나타났다.

Airborne pollen is known as one of the major causal agents to respiratory allergic reactions. Daily number of pollen grains was monitored using Burkard volumetric spore traps at seven locations including Seoul and Jeju during 1997-2007. Pollen grains were observed throughout the year especially from February to November. They showed similar distribution patterns of species among locations except in Jeju, where Japanese cedar vegetation is uniquely found. Peak seasons for pollen grains from trees and weeds were March to May and August to October, respectively. Tree pollens were mainly composed of pine, oak, alder, and birch. Weed pollens were mainly from Japanese hop, Worm wood, and ragweed. Diameter of pollen grains, which has a typical range of $20{\sim}60{\mu}m$, has close relationship with allergenicity. Allergenicity of tree and weed pollens is higher than that of grass pollens in general. In the case of trees and shrubs, pine trees account for about 70% of all tree pollens. However, pine pollens are weak allergens. The remaining 30% of tree pollens, including alder trees, white birches, and oaks, are moderate to strong allergens despite the smaller numbers. Grass and weeds are also highly likely to cause allergies. Especially, the pollens of Wormwood and Japanese hop are highly likely to cause allergies. Daily fluctuations in the number of pollens have to do with a variety of meteorological factors, such as temperature and rainfall.

Plant micropropagation techniques include bud cultures using apical or axillary buds, organogenesis through callus culture or adventitious bud induction, and somatic embryogenesis. In Korea Forest Research Institute (KFRI), the first tissue culture trial in woody plant was initiated from the bud culture of hybrid poplars (Populus alba x P. glandulosa) in 1978. Since then several mass propagation techniques have developed from conifer and hardwood species, resulting in allowing practical application to Poplars, Birches and some oak species. In addition, useful micropropagation and genetic resources conservation techniques were established in some rare and endangered tree species including Abeliophyllum distichum. Among various in vitro propagation techniques, somatic embryogenesis is known to be the most efficient plant regeneration system. Since the first somatic embryo induction was reported in Tilia amurensis by KFRI in 1986, various protocols for direct or indirect somatic embryogenesis systems have developed in conifer and hardwood species including Larix leptolepis, Pinus rigida x P. taeda F1, Kalopanax septemlobus and Liliodendron tulipifera, etc. However, most of these technologies have been developed using juvenile tissues, i.e. immature zygotic embryos or mature embryos. Therefore it has been difficult to directly application to tree breeding program due to their unproven genetic background. Recently remarkable progresses and new approaches have been achieved in mature tree somatic embryogenesis. In this article we reviewed several micropropagation techniques, which have been mainly developed by KFRI and recent international progresses.
