A Two-year field experiment was carried out in 2009 and 2010 to evaluate the effects of different densities of wild oat and nitrogen (N) rates on oilseed rape yield and yield components. Experimental design was split plot with three replications. Increased nitrogen rates up to 150 kg N/ha caused an increase in oilseed rape grain yield in weed-free plots (4.26 t/ha; 1t = $10^3kg$), while even at the lowest density of wild oat (15 $plants/m^2$), increasing N fertilizer only up to 50 kg/ha led to a significant increase in grain yield. Wild oat growth was favored by high levels of N. Intraspecific competition reduced biomass, 100-seed weight and number of tillers of wild oat. Both lower N rate and intraspecific competition had negative effect on wild oat growth but the weed was still able to produce a considerable number of tillers and vigorous seeds. It showed that wild oat possess a notable adaptive plasticity and can allocate a greater proportion of its resource toward reproductive organs even under resource shortage conditions and, thus, it may increase the competitive ability of the weed over the crop.Our results suggest that effective weed management should be done to prevent wild oat seed production in crops preceding oilseed rape as well as to control the weed at early season in oilseed rape fields.

미국가재 P. clarkii는 미국 남부지역이 원산지며, 미국, 아시아, 아프리카, 유럽 등 전 세계에 걸쳐 서식하며, 유럽에서는 토종가재와의 경쟁 등 생태계를 교란하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 조사에서 영산강수계의 지석천(15.5 km 구간)과 대초천(6.1 km 구간)에서 미국가재의 서식이 되었다. 연구기간 동안 채집된 미국가재는 총 33개체이며, 3월에 채집된 암컷 1개체서는 복부에 붙어 있는 215개체의 어린가재가 확인되었다. 다항목수질측정기를 활용한 서식 환경의 분석결과 수온 2.4~32.8℃의 범위로 확인되었고, 전기전도도는 53.4~502.3 μS cm^-1, 시기와 지점에 따라 일정한 변화 패턴을 보이지는 않았으며, 용존산소량은 0.74~22.64 mg L^-1로 조사지점과 계절에 따른 변화의 폭이 크게 나타났다. 보다 정밀한 수온과 기온의 변화를 파악하기 위해 온습도데이터 로거를 설치하여 측정한 결과 기온은 -9~48.1℃로 연중 기온 변화폭이 57.1℃로 폭 넓게 나타났으며, 수온의 2.9~33.9℃로 연중 수온 변화폭은 31℃로 확인되었다. 기온의 변화폭이 넓게 나타난 이유는 온습도데이터로고의 설치를 직사광선에 노출되는 장소로 선정하였기 때문으로 연중 기온의 변화폭과는 다소 차이가 있을 수 있다. 미국가재는 높은 적응력과 넓은 환경내성 범위를 가지며, 새로이 유입된 지역에서 급격하게 증가하여 토착생물에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 보고하고 있다. 또한 질병과 기생충 전파의 매개로서 작용하며, 굴 파는 행동으로 인해 농경지와 양식장에 피해를 야기할 수 있어 이에 대한 신속한 조사와 연구가 수행되어야 한다.

Pinus thunbergii plantations in Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea, are of low ecological quality, with arrested succession and a high proportion of ruderal species. To improve the quality of the habitat, we created canopy gaps ($\sim42\;m^2$) and monitored changes in abiotic (light availability, canopy openness) and biotic (survival and growth of seedlings and understory communities) variables in 2007 and 2008 in plots that had received one of five types of treatment: cutting of canopy trees and removal of the understory (CU), cutting of canopy trees only (C), girdling of canopy trees and removal of the understory (GU), girdling of canopy trees (G) or control. Each treatment was applied to three replicate plots. Abiotic variables did not significantly differ among treatments. Survival rates of target species were slightly lower in the CU, G and control conditions. Based on logistic regression analysis, the only significant growth factor affecting survival was height growth. Positive effects of seedling height and leaf area growth on survival were also detected, but did not reach statistical significance. In treatment G, gradual improvement of overstory conditions and mitigation of competition by limitation of disturbance to the understory community were likely to have promoted seedling growth. There were no significant effects of gap treatments on changes in species abundance (cover and richness) and composition of understory between the study years. This result implies that the small gaps created in our study may be below the threshold size to affect understory growth. However, the results of this study are based on a short-term investigation of only two years. Long-term research is strongly recommended to clarify the effects of gap treatment on plant communities in afforested areas.

백두대간은 남한구간만 약 670km로 전체 지역에 대한 생태적 특성을 파악하기는 어려워 각 지역에 대한 상세한 연구가 지속적으로 수행되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 백두대간 구간 중 댓재에서 백봉령구간의 식생구조를 밝히고 향후 복원 및 관리계획 수립시 필요한 기초자료를 제시하고자 마루금을 중심으로 $10m{\times}10m(100m^2)$ 조사구 40개소를 설치하였다. TWINSPAN에 의한 군집분류 결과 구상나무군집, 소나무 우점군집, 신갈나무 우점군집, 일본잎갈나무 우점군집 등 8개로 유형화되었다. 구상나무군집과 소나무군집은 신갈나무와의 경쟁을 회피할 수 있는 능선부 또는 암반지대에 분포하였으나 낙엽활엽수와의 경쟁으로 쇠퇴할 가능성이 높아 보호의 필요성이 있었다. 단위면적당($400m^2$) 종다양도는 0.8046~1.1283이었으며 단일종 우점군집이 낮고 경쟁상태인 군집은 높은 것으로 나타났으며 대부분 층위구조가 형성된 보호가치가 있는 숲이었다.

Consumer responses to 3D online shopping malls are influenced by their attitudes toward technology. This study examines the consumer differentiation according to technology readiness, compares customers with different technology readiness in terms of their perceived telepresence and e-loyalty, and examines the effect of their perceived telepresence on their e-loyalty. Samples from 300 females aged 21 to 39 were used for the final analysis. The results are as follows. First, consumers were classified into three groups, Explorers (N=72), Pioneers (N=105), and Skeptics (N=123), through factor analysis and k-means cluster analysis. Second, the Explorers evaluated the telepresence of the 3D online shopping mall higher than any other group. The Skeptics presented lower e-loyalty and perceived less telepresence in the 3D online shopping mall than the other two groups. Finally, telepresence had a significant influence on e-loyalty, as identified by the regression analysis. This verifies the effectiveness of 3D technology adopted or to be adopted by online shopping malls and demonstrates that 3D shopping malls can be a strategic alternative in the online shopping sector where competition is fierce. The results show that online shopping malls should focus on establishing 3D shopping environments with further effort to utilize the technology.

Physical environmental factors (water depth, current velocity and substrate) and fish community were surveyed in the Gapyeong stream, Korea. The fish group of Gapyeong Stream was divided into three types. Lithophilic fish, Koreocobitis rotundicaudata and Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa preferred shallow depth, low-velocity current, and coarse bed condition, whereas Coreoleuciscus splendidus and Microphysogobio longidorsalis were adapted to high-velocity current and bed materials. Nektonic fish, Zacco koreanus and Zacco platypus appeared in a wide range of physical conditions. Intermediate fish, Hemibarbus longirostris, Pungtungia herzi and Coreoperca herzi adapted to moderate water depths and current velocities. Among them, H. longirostris and C. herzi were adapt to various bed materials. C. splendidus, M. longidorsalis and P. herzi showed high niche overlap for current velocity, water depth and substrate with Z. koreanus and Z. platypus. The occurrence of M. longidorsalis in a relatively low-velocity current compared to Z. koreanus and Z. platypus suggests that the current velocity act as a isolation factor for these species. The competition, isolation and character displacement among these species investigated detail in the future. Based on canonical correspondence analysis, the relative importance of each environmental factor was determined as substrate > water depth > current velocity.

As the role of retail stores in distribution channels becomes more significant and competition among them becomes more fierce, retail stores are making efforts to gain a dominant position in market share. And as such, consumer store choice behaviour is becoming more diverse and complex. The purpose of this study was to analysis the store choice process and to aid in understanding the types of store choice behaviors. 30 subjects were sampled by focus sampling and investigated by in-depth interview. Some consumers went through all stages of store choice process and others skipped some. The consumers who usually had no plan to visit stores and who purchase without problem recognition process were categorized as opportunity-taking type, and the consumers who visited just one store without external search of other store information were categorized as store-loyal type. Finally, the consumers who searched store information externally were divided into brand-oriented type and value-seeking type. The brand-oriented type represented the consumers who did not evaluate stores in detail because which store to visit was decided on brand; and the value-seeking type represented the consumers who did in fact evaluate stores in more detail according to the items and trends in fashion. This study is meaningful in that it provides a dynamic store choice process and examines related variables thereto.

Ruminants possess a specialized four-compartment forestomach, consisting of the reticulum, rumen, omasum, and abomasum. The rumen, the primary fermentative chamber, harbours a dynamic ecosystem comprising bacteria, protozoa, fungi, archaea, and bacteriophages. These microorganisms engage in diverse ecological interactions within the rumen microbiome, primarily benefiting the host animal by deriving energy from plant material breakdown. These interactions encompass symbiosis, such as mutualism and commensalism, as well as parasitism, predation, and competition. These ecological interactions are dependent on many factors, including the production of diverse molecules, such as those involved in quorum sensing (QS). QS is a density-dependent signalling mechanism involving the release of autoinducer (AIs) compounds, when cell density increases AIs bind to receptors causing the altered expression of certain genes. These AIs are classified as mainly being N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL; commonly used by Gram-negative bacteria) or autoinducer-2 based systems (AI-2; used by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria); although other less common AI systems exist. Most of our understanding of QS at a gene-level comes from pure culture in vitro studies using bacterial pathogens, with much being unknown on a commensal bacterial and ecosystem level, especially in the context of the rumen microbiome. A small number of studies have explored QS in the rumen using 'omic' technologies, revealing a prevalence of AI-2 QS systems among rumen bacteria. Nevertheless, the implications of these signalling systems on gene regulation, rumen ecology, and ruminant characteristics are largely uncharted territory. Metatranscriptome data tracking the colonization of perennial ryegrass by rumen microbes suggest that these chemicals may influence transitions in bacterial diversity during colonization. The likelihood of undiscovered chemicals within the rumen microbial arsenal is high, with the identified chemicals representing only the tip of the iceberg. A comprehensive grasp of rumen microbial chemical signalling is crucial for addressing the challenges of food security and climate targets.
