  • 이 글의 목적은 대순진리회의 생태주의 담론인 '상생생태론'에서 '상생'의 의미를 생태적으로 규정하는 데 있다. 인간을 대상으로 윤리적 측면에서 통용되던 상생이 그 적용 범위를 비인간까지 확장시키는 생태학의 영역에서 어떻게 적용될 수 있는지 상호의존성이라는 생태학의 개념으로 설명한다. 생태학에서의 상호의존성은 개체와 개체 사이에서 발생하는 긍정적, 부정적, 중립적인 관계를 조합하여 경쟁, 포식, 기생, 그리고 공생으로 구분한다. 개체와 개체 사이의 관계가 부정적으로 끝나더라도 생태계에는 긍정적인 영향을 끼칠 수 있으므로 모두 '의존'이라는 개념에 포함된다. 그러나 개체와 개체 사이의 부정적 결말은 원을 발생시킬 수 있고 이러한 상호의존은 상생윤리의 관점에서는 그대로 통용될 수 없다. 따라서 생태적 상생은 긍정적 상호의존의 관계만 해당하거나 혹은 포원이 존재하지 않는 포식, 기생, 경쟁의 관계도 포함될 수 있다. 생태론은 자연과 인간을 분리하지 않고 둘 사이를 통합적으로 이해할 수 있는 관점을 요구한다. 천지생인용인(天地生人用人)이라는 우주관은 우주와 인간, 자연과 인간의 관계를 상호의존적 관점에서 포착할 수 있게 한다. 천지는 자신의 존재 근거를 인간으로 삼았고, 지인은 자연의 법칙을 발견하고 그 배후에 있는 천지의 신성성까지 깨달아 비로소 천지와 인간, 자연과 인간의 깊은 상호의존의 관계가 성립한다. 그러나 근대적 인간이 등장하면서 자연을 짓밟고 신도의 권위를 떨어뜨림으로써 천지와 인간의 상호의존성은 붕괴된다. 해원상생과 보은상생은 천지와 인간, 자연과 인간 사이에 끊어진 상호의존성을 다시잇는 해결책이다. 공부 의례를 통해 해원상생을 실천하는 것은 자연과 인간의 상호의존성을 회복하는 길이다. 수도를 통해 도통에 도달하는 과정이 보은상생의 실천이며 이로써 인간은 생태적 본성을 지닌 인존으로 거듭나 자연과 영원한 상호의존을 누리게 된다. 요컨대 상생생태론에서의 상생은 자연과 인간이 상호의존성을 회복하고 그것을 영원히 지속할 수 있게 만드는 이념이자 실천이다.

  • This study analyzed how spatial distribution of Himantormia lugubris is affected by the microenvironment in the Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No. 171 located in the Barton Peninsula of King George Island that belongs to the maritime Antarctic. In order to determine the population structure of H. lugubris growing in Baekje Hill within ASPA No. 171, we counted the individuals of different size groups after dividing the population into 5 growth stages according to mean diameter as follows: ≤ 1 cm, 1-3 cm, 3-5 cm, 5-10 cm, and ≥ 10 cm. The count of H. lugubris individuals in each growth stage was converted into its percentage with respect to the entire population, which yielded the finding that stages 1 through 5 accounted for 32.8%, 25.3%, 15.9%, 22.5%, and 3.5%, respectively. This suggests that the population of H. lugubris in ASPA No. 171 has a stable reverse J-shaped population structure, with the younger individuals outnumbering mature ones. The mean density of H. lugubris was 17.6/0.25 m2, mean canopy cover 13.3%, and the mean dry weight 37.8 g/0.25 m2. It began to produce spore in the sizes over 3 cm, and most individuals measuring 5-10 cm were adults with sexually mature apothecia. The spatial distribution of H. lugubris was highly heterogeneous. The major factors influencing its distribution and performance were found to be the period covered by snow, wind direction, moisture, size of the substrate, and canopy cover of Usnea spp. Based on these factors, we constructed a prediction model for estimating the spatial distribution of H. lugubris. Conclusively, the major factors for the spatial distribution of H. lugubris were snow, wind, substrate and the competition with Usnea spp. These results are important for understanding of the distribution in the maritime Antarctic and evolution of H. lugubris that claims a unique life history and ecological niche.

  • Background: Duodichogamy is the rarest form of dichogamy in angiosperms, which is characterized by flowering in the sequence of male${\rightarrow}$female${\rightarrow}$male. Disentangling factors promoting duodichogamy require the discovery of more duodichogamous species in angiosperms. However, extremely limited information on duodichogamous species makes it difficult to make general conclusions. Given the inflorescence morphology and flowering characteristics, the Meliaceae family is highly likely to contain duodichogamous species. Methods: We selected 48 individuals from 20 populations in Korea and investigated their flower morphology, arrangement of flowers by sexual condition within inflorescences, and flowering phases and duration of male and female flowers of Toona sinensis (Meliaceae) for 5 years (2011-2015) to determine if the species shows duodichogamous flowering. Results: Toona sinensis belonging to Meliaceae possessed functionally unisexual flowers with rudimentary parts of the opposite sex. The floral organs in male were larger than those in female, except for ovary length and width. In dichasium, male flowers were observed on primary or lateral branches, whereas female flowers were borne only on lateral branches. Overall, individuals from six different populations flowered in the male${\rightarrow}$female${\rightarrow}$male sequence, thereby male is blooming far longer than female flowers at the level of individual trees (male vs. female = 17-20 days vs. 2-4 days). Conclusions: This is the first study to report a duodichogamously flowering species, T. sinensis, within Meliaceae. Several flowering characteristics observed from T. sinensis may be important clues used to discover additional duodichogamous Meliaceae species. Short flowering period and relatively small number of female flowers, which is analogous to reduced ovule numbers observed in other duodichogamous species, may intensify male-male competition in T. sinensis. This study contributed to narrowing down potential candidates of duodichogamy based on their geographic distributions and flowering time.

  • Since weedy rice problems have emerged with the recent advent of direct seeding cultivation in Korea, the establishment of effective control strategies for weedy rice is considered to be one of the urgent issues to be solved for widely practiced direct seeding rice cultivation. A three year experiment was conducted to investigate the occurrence pattern of weedy rice in four different rice cultivation practices: high ridged dry seeding, wet drill seeding, water seeding, and machine transplanting. The highest weedy rice occurrence of 11.0% was observed in high ridged dry seeding practice followed by 9.6% in wet drill seeding, 6.4% in water seeding practice, and 0.2% in machine transplanting practice, respectively. The same trend was observed when we examine the occurrence of contamination of panicle and rice grain by weedy rice. More contamination was observed in high ridged dry seeding than any other practices. It was also found that the possible emergence depths from the soil surface was deeper in both in ridged dry seeding and wet drill seeding practice (0-5 cm from the soil surface) than those in water seeding (0-4 cm), and machine transplanting practice (0-3 cm). The highest yield reduction of 19.5% was observed in high ridged dry seeding practice followed by 13.0% in wet drill seeding, 6.3% in water seeding practice. The reduction may have occurred to the competition between weedy rice and cultivated rice, These findings suggest that among the four cultural practices examined, the machine transplanting practice is the most effective method to control and reduce the weedy rice occurrence and weedy rice seed in soil.

  • Simple Biosphere model 2(SiB2)는 전구기후모형 (global climate model)의 지표면모형으로서 토양-식생-대기 사이의 에너지, 물 및 이산화탄소 교환을 모의한다. 특히 광합성-기공전도 하부모형을 포함하고 있어, 식물군락의 광합성과 기공개폐기작을 근거로 하여 이산화탄소 동화량 및 물의 증산량을 계산한다. 따라서 SiB2 수치실험 결과를 통해, 육상생태계에 있어서의 이산화탄소 순환, 물수지, 그리고 환경과 식물군락간의 상호관계를 분석할 수 있다. 본 종설은 일례로서 개량된 SiB2-Paddy를 이용하여, 다양한 식생 및 토지 이용을 보이는 태국 챠오플라야강 유역의 하천유출량 변화에 관한 연구를 소개한다. 이는 SiB2 수치실험결과가 지표면 식생의 차이에 따른 유출량의 변화를 예측 가능하며, 이를 통하여 육상생태계에 있어서 식생이 갖는 기능적인 측면을 연구하는데 적합한 모형임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 SiB2모형을 이용하여 더욱 정확도 높은 육상 생태계 모의를 위해서는 토양호흡, 엽면적지수, 식물군락간 경쟁 그리고 뿌리의 분포를 고려한 토양수분 등을 모의할 수 있는 하부모형의 도입이 필요하다.

  • 본 논문은 1997년과 2000년 이차에 걸쳐서 출간된 $\ll$한국 민간단체 총람\gg$ 자료를 소개하고, 이 자료의 분석을 통해 한국 시민단체의 성장에 대한 양적 연구를 수행한다. 시민단체 성장에 대한 주요 지표가 될 수 있는 회원수 정보와 설립연도 정보의 질을 데이터에 나타난 결측율을 중심으로 검토한다. 회원수 정보를 통해서 1996년에서 1999년 사이의 회원수 변화를 활동 분야에 따라 알아보고 그 결과를 시민단체의 성장이라는 측면에서 논의한다. 분석 결과 우리나라 시민단체 성장의 주축이라고 여겨지고 있는 시민사회 분야에서, 특히 전국적 규모의 단체들을 중심으로 많은 회원 감소가 있었던 것으로 보인다. 설립되는 단체 수의 지속적인 증가 추세와 맞물려, 이 결과는 계속적으로 그 숫자가 증가하고 있는 시민단체들 사이에 제한된 자원을 둘러싼 경쟁이 있음을 반영한다고 본다. 이러한 경향을 생태학적 조직이론에 근거해서 논의하고, 1945년부터 1996년까지 시민단체의 수적 성장 패턴을 설립연도 정보를 이용하여 간접적으로 확인한다. 이 의사 성장 곡선(pseudo-growth curve)을 생태학적 조직 이론에 근거해서 로지스틱 성장 곡선 모형으로서 제시하고, 비선형적 회귀분석을 통해 활동 범위와 분야별로 단체들의 수적 증가 추이를 비교해 본다.

  • This dissertation, which has been prepared in the region of cheju(33o31'N, 126o32'E) from may,1987 to appril, 1989, is to elucidate the dominant characteristics of early stages in secondary succession, by examining the life history of erigeron annuus for the seeding depth of a seed was dependent upon the degree of shading. That is, on the area of ocm,the more tense the shading was, the more germination percentage was increased, while, in the case of 1.5cm, it was somewhat increased, when shading bwcame ess and less tense. The rosette of e. annuus, through its relative light intensity was decreased by shading, up to 5% of natural light, showed some strong shade tolerance, which had no difficulty in matter production. The species diversity of mixed-species community was the highest in the middle of April, the lowest in the last of may. The dominance index was the highest in the late may, the lowest in the middle of April. Toward the end of may, the occupation rate of dominance species was the highest. There was a neutral relationship between intraspecific and interspecific, owing to the differentiation of its niche, temporally and spatially. Productive structure of the community revealed a narrow leaf type which was concentratively distributed in the mid part of community height. The relative light intensity of community ground surface was 6.1%, the leaf inclination 60o,the extinction coefficient(k) 0.4, biomass of community 1,045.6 g.d.w./m2,T/Rratio 9.3, C/Frate 7.0 and sumgermanition, shade toarance and community characteristics on erigeron annuus l.in chejumed leaf area index 3.88. through the various life cycles o e.annuus, we can say that it decreases mortality of seeding caused by some stress and disturbance, for germination lasts for a long time at any opportunity available, and it promotes population growth. The strong shade tolerance of a rosette and the variableness of a life from differentiate the niche between intraspecific and interspecific within the community, and avoid the direct competition between them, thus poromoting community growth.

  • Stands profiles, yearly changes in growth of annual rings, age and diameter structure, and spatial distribution pattern of individuals in the Pinus densiflora stands around the Yeocheon industrial complex were investigated. Growth of annual ring in Pinus densiflora, which survived when vegetation of this area was damaged by air pollutants, was suppressed for about 10 years since 1974 when factories in this area began to operate, but since then such suppressed growth tended to be recovered. It was supposed that the suppresed growth was originated from air pollution and that improvement of growth since the suppressed period was due to the release from competition with them by death of neighbouring trees and the resuction of the amount of air pollutants. Physiognomy of Pinus densiflora stands showed mosaic pattern composed of different patches. Spatial distribution pattern of individuals an stand profiles were similar to those of Pinus densiflora stands regenerated after natural and artificial disturbances. In an age distribution diagram, age of Pinus densiflora population ranged from 1 to 33 years, Among these individuals were recrited corresponded to the suppresed period of growth of annual ring in Pinus densiflora survived when the vegetation was damaged by air pollution. On the other hand, from the result of analysis of frequency distribution diagram of diameter, it was postulated that even if whis Pinus densiflora community can be maintained as it is for the time being, it might be changed to Quercus community with the lapse of time. Regeneration; Pinus densiflora; Air pollution; Annual ring; Age structure; Diameter structure; Quercus spp. In these analyses, factors for individual recognition and species recognition were suggested.

  • The expression of transgenic traits in genetically modified crops is sometimes associated with decreases in crop performance or fitness. These decreases in performance or fitness of transgenic plants in unfavourable conditions may provide valuable information about the ecological consequences of transgene escape. In a glasshouse trial, we tested the cost associated with resistance to herbicides by comparing the growth, yield, and competitive ability of transgenic rice with its parental non-transgenic line. This new line was developed for constitutive overexpression of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) to increase resistance to herbicides. We evaluated nine agronomic traits of transgenic and non-transgenic rice grown in a replacement series design over four densities. Competitive ability was also assessed between transgenic and non-transgenic plants by analyzing their relative yields based on biomass and seed weight data. Our results indicated that non-transgenic plants showed greater performance than did the transgenic plants when those genotypes were grown in mixtures. The non-transgenic rice plants exhibited superior competitive ability at certain combinations of planting densities and genotype proportions. These results suggest that PPO-herbicide resistance incurs some costs in plant performance and competitive ability.

  • This study was to analyze vegetation and soil characteristic, and ordination of Bupleurum latissimum community located in Seo-Myun, Isl. Ulleungdo. The Bupleurum latissimum community was classified into Physocarpus insularis subcommunity and Artemisia stolonifera subcommunity, and there was Artemisia stolonifera subcommunity in destroyed site of Bupleurum latissimum community. In the study sites, soil organic matter, nitrogen, available phosphorous, changeable potassium, changeable calcium, changeable magnesium concentration, cation exchangeable capacity, and soil pH were ranged from 19.0~25.6%, 0.67~0.96%, 47.8~103.0ppm, 2.4~2.8(me/100g), 13.8~15.0(me/100g), 8.4~9.0 (me/100g), 34.0~38.4(me/100g), and 5.9~6.0, respectively. The Bupleurum latissimum community had higher nitrogen, exchangeable magnesium, and available phosphorous concentration than in Bupleurum euphorbioides and Bupleurum longiradiatum community. The Berberis amurensis var. latifolia and Valeriana officinalis var. latifolia that was companion species of Bupleurum latissimum community was found in area of having high soil organic matter and nitrogen concentration. The Ligustrum foliosumwas found in shrubbery, and so the reason could give little competition with Bupleurum latissimum community. The Bupleurum latissimum is the endangered species managed by Ministry of Environments in Korea. Its community has been destroyed, and so we need any action to protect the community.
