The research was carried out to define the environmental characteristics and vegetation structure of the evergreen fern habitat in Jejudo. The growth conditions of evergreen fern in various habitats was surveyed, including topographical features, vegetation structure, air temperature, humidity, intensity of light, water content and organic matter content in the soil. In the direction of the native habitat, 70% of research area was located in the southeast-facing slopes, 30% was located in southern slopes. The gradient ranged from $0^{\circ}$ to $30^{\circ}$. Temperature ranged from $16^{\circ}C$ to $28^{\circ}C$, and $22.3^{\circ}C$ was the average. Humidity ranged from 20 to 68%, and 36% was the average. In the native habitat, the highest light intensities reached 60,000 to 80,0001ux, but in general ranged from 300 to 40001ux. Water content in the soil ranged from 32% to 59%, organic matter content ranged from 8 to 13%. Within a unit of 25$m^2$, there were tall-tree layer such as Quercus galuca and Castanopsis cuspidata with a covering of rate 40~80%, a sub-tall-tree layer such as Camellia japonica, Staphylea bumalda and Sambucus williamsii with the covering rate of 3~5%, a shrub layer with the covering rate of 5~20%, and a grass layer with the covering rate of 40~95%. This research provides the basic data about the native habitat environment of the evergreen fern plant. Continuous monitoring and accumulation of data is necessary for the use of evergreen fern as vegetation materials.

Bracken fern [Pteridium aquilinem (L.) kuhn (Dennstaedtiaceae)] is one of the most common species on the planet. It has been consumed by humans and animals for centuries. Use by some human groups is because they believe bracken fern is good for health as plant medicine. However, it is also one of the few known plants that can cause tumors in farm animals. Many interested groups have focused their attention on bracken fern because of these interesting features. In order to evaluate the biological effects of exposure to this plant in cellular level, human cancer cell lines were treated with the fern dichloromethane extracts and the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects were studied. Anti-proliferative/cytotoxic effects were evaluated by cell count, MTT assay and flow cytometry methods with three different cancer cell lines, TCC, NTERA2, and MCF-7, and two normal cells, HDF1 and HFF3. Pro-apoptotic effects of the extracts were determined by DAPI staining and comet assay, on TCC cancer cells compared to the normal control cell lines. Cellular morphology was examined by light microscopy. Our present study showed that the extract caused DNA damage and apoptosis at high concentrations ($200{\mu}g/mL$) and also it may induce cell cycle arrest (G2/M phase) at mild concentrations (50 and $30{\mu}g/mL$) depending on the cell type and tumor origin. These results indicate that bracken fern extract is a potent source of anticancer compounds that could be utilized pharmaceutically.

칠곡 금무봉 나무고사리 화석산지는 1925년 Tateiwa가 중생대 나무고사리 줄기 화석(Cyathocaulis naktongensis)을 처음 발견한 모식산지로서, 그 학술적 가치를 인정받아 일제강점기인 1930년대부터 천연기념물로 지정, 약 90여년 간 보존되어 왔다. 하지만, 발견 당시 나무고사리 화석 산출 층준을 찾지 못해, 전석 상태의 표본을 기반으로 낙동층 내 역암/사암층을 함화석층으로 해석하면서, 금무봉 일대가 광범위하게 문화재구역으로 설정되었다. 2003년 이후, 지정구역 인근 노두에서 나무고사리 화석이 발견되면서 산출지역의 퇴적암상이 특정되었으며, 나무고사리 화석의 외형과 해부학적 특징에 대한 연구가 추가적으로 이루어졌다. 이를 통해 Ogura가 국내에서 보고한 Cyathocaulis속 2종의 분류 기준을 재검토하고, C. naktongensis와 C. tateiwai가 동종일 가능성을 고찰하였다. 또한, 오랫동안 이어져 온 각종 규제에 따른 갈등과 민원 해결을 위해, 현재의 문화재 구역은 시대환경 변화에 맞게 적정성 검토를 통한 큰 폭의 재조정이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Two phenylpropanoids and one flavan 3-ol were isolated from Lepisorus thunbergianus (Polypodiaceae, fern), which is used as folkmedicine. Phenylpropanoids were identified as caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid, and flavan 3-ol was elucidated as (-)-epicatechin 7-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside by physico-chemical and spectral evidences (HMQC, NOESY).

Chinese brake fern (Pteris vittata) has potential for application in the phytoremediation of arsenic introduced by lead arsenate-based pesticides. In this study, Chinese brake ferns were used to extract arsenic, mainly in field and greenhouse experiments, and to assess the performance of simultaneous phytoaccumulation of arsenic and lead from homogenized soil in the greenhouse, with the application of EDTA and electric potential. The ferns have been shown to be effective in accumulating high concentrations of arsenic, and extracting both arsenic and lead from the contaminated soil, with the addition of a chelating agent, EDTA. The maximum increase in lead accumulation in the ferns was 9.2 fold, with a 10 mmol/kg addition of EDTA. In addition, the application of EDTA in combination with electric potential increased the lead accumulation in ferns by 10.6 fold at 5 mmol/kg of EDTA and 40 V (dc), compared to controls. Therefore, under application of EDTA and electric potential, Chinese brake fern is able to extract arsenic and lead simultaneously from soil contaminated by lead arsenate.

Controlling traffic lights at a bottleneck, in [5] a time of open passage is called optimal, if it minimizes the first moment of the asymptotic distribution of the queue length. The discussion of the first moment as function of the time of open passage is based on an analysis of the behavior of a fixed point when varying control parameters and delivers theoretical and computational aspects of the traffic problem.

제주도에 자생하는 양치식물 25종을 대상으로 항산화활성, ACE 저해활성, APN 저해활성 및 $\alpha$-amylase 저해활성을 검색하였다. 항산화활성은 쇠고비와 일색고사리에서 비교적 높아서 항산화 음료로 애용되고 있는 차나무 잎보다도 더 높았다. ACE 저해활성과 APN 저해활성은 전체적으로 낮았으나, 쇠고비에서 각각 26.7%와 28.2%으로 비교적 높은 저해활성을 나타내었다. $\alpha$-Amylase 저해활성은 10종이 50% 이상의 높은 활성으로 보였으며, 그 중에서 쇠고비와 홍지네고사리의 저해활성이 특히 높았다. 이상의 결과로부터 쇠고비는 항산화활성뿐만 아니라 ACE 저해활성, APN 저해활성과 $\alpha$-amylase 저해활성 모두 다른 식물에 비해 높아 생리활성 물질의 분리 및 동정 등 식품소재 및 식물생약으로 이용하기 위한 후속 연구가 기대된다.

Green roof's performance in reducing stormwater runoff has been reported by numerous studies. Nonetheless, the roles of low growing vegetation in influencing stormwater runoff reduction on green roofs have been greatly overlooked. This paper describes an experiment investigating the influence of low growing vegetation in the reduction of tropical stormwater runoff on extensive green roofs. Three types of locally occurring native vegetation and one non-native Sedum species were selected (fern, herb, grass and succulent) for the experiment. Stormwater runoff reduction performance from different low growing species was done by measuring excess water runoff from the simulated green roof modules. The results show significant differences in stormwater runoff reduction from different types of vegetation. Fern was the most effective in reducing stormwater runoff, followed by herb, Sedum and grass. Vegetative characters that are found to attribute towards the performance of stormwater runoff are rooting density, structure, density, leaf type, and vegetation biomass.
