This study was carried out to investigate the relationship between soil mites(Acarina:Cryptostigmata) and vegetation in sampled area. From July 1984 to June 1985, samples were taken monthly from coniferous forests; a pinenut (Pinus koraiensis S. et Z.) forest (site C-1), a whitepine(Pinus strobus L.) forest (site C-2), a needle fir tree(Abies holophyla Max.) forest (site C-3), and three broad-leaved forests; site B-1, B-2, and B-3 in Cholanamdo province, southerm part of Korea. Vascular plants of 152 species belonging to 115 genera (53 families) were identified. The flora in the coniferous forests were more diverse than in the broad-leaved forest. Similarity coefficient to the flora was shown highly between the neighbouring sites. The oribatid species in the coniferous forests were more diverse than those in the broadleaved forests. The similarity index suggested that oribatid mites in those surveying sites could be divided into "coniferous forest type" and "broad-leaved forest type".d forest type".uot;.

Fungal endophytes are defined as fungi inhabiting plant tissues, causing no apparent disease. As the agricultural and ecological importance of endophytes has increased, many studies have been performed on various aspects, ranging from basic identification, taxonomy, and evolution to secondary metabolites with potential for human use. In the Korean Peninsula, conifers are the most commonly found evergreen trees, with approximately 30 to 60 reported taxa. Studies on the effect of conifer-associated endophytes on the host plants are required for the preservation and conservation of coniferous forests which decline by climate change and deforestation. This review summarizes the diversity of endophytic fungi in coniferous trees of Korea and their relationship with host plants.

This research aimed to develop forest type classification technique for the mixed forest with coniferous and broad-leaved species using the high resolution satellite data. QuickBird data was used as satellite data. The method of this research was to extract satellite data for every single tree crown using image segmentation technique, then to evaluate the accuracy of classification by changing grouping criteria such as tree species, families, coniferous or broad-leaved species, and timber prices. As a result, the classification of tree species and families level was inaccurate, on the other hand, coniferous or broad-leaved species and timber price level was high accurate.

This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of breeding bird communities between deciduous and coniferous forests from April to June 2005 in Mt. Namsan, Seoul, Korea. Two 10ha areas were selected for territory mapping of breeding bird communities. Number of breeding bird species, pairs,density and bird species diversity index were higher in deciduous forest with increasing amount of foliage in the forest profile or as forest structures developed compared with coniferous forest. The number of in coniferous forest. The differences in habitat structure between both study areas are very likely to have influenced how breeding birds used the available habitat. Forest structure and its interactions with birds should be consideration in forest management for birds and their habitat.

The level of soil organic carbon (SOC) fluctuates in different types of forest stands: this variation can be attributed to differences in tree species, and the variables associated with soil, climate, and topographical features. The present review evaluates the level of SOC in different types of forest stands to determine the factors responsible for the observed variation. Mixed stands have the highest amount of SOC, while coniferous (both deciduous-coniferous and evergreen-coniferous) stands have greater SOC concentrations than deciduous (broadleaved) and evergreen (broadleaved) tree stands. There was a significant negative correlation between SOC and mean annual temperature (MAT) and sand composition, in all types of forest stands. In contrast, the silt fraction has a positive correlation with SOC, in all types of tree stands. Variation in SOC under different types of forest stands in different landscapes can be due to differences in MAT, and the sand and silt fraction of soil apart from the type of forests.

본 연구는 기후변화로 점차 취약해지고 있는 아고산 산림생태계의 변화 및 쇠퇴 실태를 파악하기 위해 전국 아고산 지역 침엽수림의 장기 면적 변화를 파악하는 것을 주요 목적으로 하였다. 1990년대 중반 이후 20년간의 침엽수림 면적 변화 탐지를 위해 시계열 Landsat 위성영상을 분석하였고, 침엽수림 면적과 기후정보의 장기적 변화를 함께 비교하였다. 그 결과, 전체 분석대상지에서 침엽수림의 면적은 20년 동안 약 25 % 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 면적과 변화율의 측면에서 큰 변화가 있었던 지역은 설악산, 백운산-함백산-장산, 지리산, 한라산 등이었다. 이 중 감소면적이 가장 큰 지역은 백운산 지역이었으며(감소면적 542 ha), 침엽수림이 대면적으로 집단화되어 있으면서 감소율이 가장 큰 지역은 한라산이었다(감소율 33.3 %). 제주 지역은 타 지역보다 온도상승이 가장 가파르게 진행되고 있어 한라산이 기후변화 압력에 의한 산림생태계 취약성이 가장 높을 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구결과는 장기적인 관점에서 전체적으로 아고산대 산림지역의 임상이 침엽수림이 감소하는 방향으로 변화하고 있으나 그 추세는 각 지역별로 정도의 차이가 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 본 연구의 전국적이고 장기적인 아고산 지역 침엽수림 변화 정보는 향후 지역별로 수행될 상세한 멸종위기 아고산 침엽수 정밀실태조사 수행을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

태백산맥의 태백산, 오대산, 설악산 일대에서 산지대 상부부터 분포하는 침엽수림 내의 임상 선태류군락에 대해 수리군락분류학적 수법 및 식물사회학적 방법에 의해 연구하였다. 그 결과 고등식물의 종조성과 관련하여 그에 대응하는 4개의 임상 선태류군락을 식별하였다. 짚빵나무-분비나무/설악눈주목-눈잣나무/수풀이끼-겉창발이끼군락은 조사지역 중 더 높은 해발에 분포하며 주극요소의 종군에 의해 식별되었고, 짚빵나무-분비나무군집 혹은 설악눈주목-눈잣나무군집의 분층군락을 이루었다. 반면에 조릿대-분비나무/등덩굴초롱이끼-긴몸초롱이끼군락, 전나무-분비나무/작은잎깃털이끼-꼬인아기초롱이끼군락, 벌깨덩굴-분비나무/아기호랑꼬리이끼-겹친주목이끼군락은 더 낮은 해발의 침광혼효림 영역에 분포하며, 물개암나무-신갈나무군집의 분층군락을 이루었다. 상기 군락의 조사구 및 종에 대해 집괴분석, 종간결합분석, 주성분분석의 수리군락분류학적 수법을 적용한 결과, 이들은 크게 두가지 형으로 분리되었으며, 각각 산지대와 아고산대의 임상 선태류군라을 특징지웠다. 끝으로 태백산맥에서 냉온대와 아한대의 삼림대적 접속관계를 식물사회학적 입장에서 재검토하였다.

Objectives: This study was performed to find phytoncide (monoterpene) emission characteristics and weather factors for application in prediction modeling for phytoncide weather services. Methods: From 2017 to 2019, one coniferous forest and one deciduous forest were selected to investigate the monthly emission characteristics and identify the correlation with weather factors. Research items were analyzed for 11 species known to be emitting the most monoterpenes. Results: Phytoncide (monoterpene) began to increase in April when trees were activated and continued to be released until November. The concentration range of monoterpene in deciduous forests was 0.0 to 427.4 ng/S㎥ and coniferous forests was 0.0 to 1,776.8 ng/S㎥. Phytoncide emission concentrations in deciduous forests were 20 to 90 percent of those in coniferous forests, and averaged 39 percent overall. The correlation between monoterpene and temperature was very close, with 0.835 for the broadleaf forest and 0.875 for the coniferous forest. Monoterpene and humidity were found to be 0.731 for the broadleaf forest and 0.681 for the coniferous forest, while wind speed showed a negative correlation of -0.482 and -0.424, respectively. Regression of temperature with phytoncide showed that the coefficient of determination (r2) was highly correlated with 0.75 for the broadleaf forest and 0.80 for the coniferous forest. Not only is phytoncide concentration affected by temperature, humidity, and wind speed, but also rainfall over the preceeding one to three days. Nearby rainfall on the day of sampling was found to have a direct effect on the physiological activities of the trees. Conclusions: Overall, if the values of monoterpene and temperature, humidity, and wind speed are used as basic factors, and rainfall from one to three days previous is replaced with complementary values, it is believed that the numerical analysis and modeling of daily and monthly phytoncide will be possible.

Three coniferous essential oils were extracted from Abies koreana, Cryptomeria japonica, and Torreya nucifera by hydrodistillation. The chemical composition of each oil was analyzed by GCMS, and their antimicrobial activities were tested against two bacteria and one yeast strains. Fortyseven compounds were identified from A. koreana oil, 39 from C. japonica, and 59 from T. nucifera. Main components of the essential oils were limonene (23.5%), bornyl acetate (17.9%), ${\alpha}-pinene$ (11.1%), and camphene (10.2%) in A. koreana, kaurene (26.3%), ${\gamma}-eudesmol$ (19.0%), elemol (6.9%), and sabinene (5.1%) in C. japonica, limonene (13.5%), ${\delta}-cadinene$ (10.5%), ${\alpha}-bisabolol$ (10.2%), and ${\alpha}-copaene$ (7.7%) in T. nucifera. Among the three coniferous trees tested, the essential oils of A. koreana exhibited higher and broader antimicrobial activity against the tested organisms than those of C. japonica and T. nucifera.
