산림유역의 토지이용 변화가 호수의 토사퇴적속도에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위해 $^{210}Pb$ 연대측정을 수행하였다. 평상시 타코부호수는 쿠시로강으로 유출되지만 쿠시로강의 수위가 증가하면 역류현상으로 인해 쿠시로강에 유출된 다량의 세립토사가 호수로 유입되고 있어 호수 유출지점의 토사퇴적속도를 증가시키고 있었다. 그래서 호수에서 유출입하는 하천 주변의 토사퇴적물에서 $^{210}Pb$ 농도는 많은 양의 토사 퇴적의 영향으로 $^{210}Pb$ 농도가 희석되어 비교적 낮은 값을 나타내고 있었으며 지수함수적으로 감소하는 경향도 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 CRS 모델의 $^{210}Pb$ 연대측정법을 사용하였고, CRS 모델의 연대는 $^{137}Cs$ 연대(1963년)와 잘 일치하였다. 타코부호수에서 과거 100~150년 정도의 토사퇴적속도를 조사한 결과, 유역에서 인위적 개발이 없는 1880년대 이전 자연상태에서는 토사퇴적량이 $0.01{\sim}0.03g/cm^2/year$였고, 산림벌채와 하천공사가 시작된 1880년대~1940년대에는 $0.03{\sim}0.09g/cm^2/year$으로 토사퇴적이 증가하였다. 특히 유역에서 산림벌채, 하천공사, 농업개발과 임도 개설이 진행된 1980년대 이후에는 토사퇴적속도가 $0.09{\sim}0.84g/cm^2/year$로 자연상태보다 9~28배 증가하여 호수의 수심이 얕아지는 현상을 가속시키고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

다중 수증기/이산화탄소 연직농도시스템(이하 프로파일시스템)은 에디공분산 방법에 의해 측정된 에너지 및 물질 플럭스에 대한 저류항 및 이류의 영향을 정량화하기 위해 광범위하게 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 사용되고 있는 프로파일시스템의 용도를 보다 확장하여 안정동위원소 분석을 위한 공기시료 채취에 활용하였다. 프로파일시스템에서 기체농도 측정에 이용되는 적외선기체분석기의 유출부에 2L 용량의 진공 플라스크를 연결하여 수증기와 이산화탄소의 농도가 측정된 공기시료가 채취되도록 개조하였다. 이 방법의 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 광릉 활엽수림 내에 설치되어 있는 플럭스타워에서 8개의 높이(0.1~40m)로 부터 공기시료를 채취하였다. 플라스크에 채취된 공기시료로부터 실험실에서 진공추출라인을 이용하여 순수한 수증기와 이산화탄소가 분리되었고, 질량분석기를 이용하여 수증기의 수소 안정동위원소 조성 그리고 이산화탄소의 탄소 안정동위원소 조성을 각각 측정하였다. 이와 같은 방법으로 얻어진 자료를 이용하여 산림내 수증기의 수소 안정동위원소 조성과 이산화탄소의 탄소 안정동위원소 조성의 수직적 분포를 확인하였고, 아울러 Keeling plot 을 적용하여 증발산된 수증기의 수소 동위원소 조성 및 생태계 호흡에 의해 발생된 이산화탄소의 탄소동위원소 조성을 산출하였다. 비록 현단계에서 여러 가지 기술적인 개선점이 존재하지만, 본 연구에서 이용한 방법은 기존에 활용되고 있는 방법과 비교하여 두 가지 장점이다. 첫째, 이 방법은 기존에 운용되고 있는 프로파일 시스템의 구조를 그대로 활용함으로써 상대적으로 저비용으로 이용이 가능하다. 둘째, 수증기와 이산화탄소의 동시 시료채취와 동위원소 분석이 가능하여 증발산 및 순생태교환량 구성요소의 구분이 동일한 시간적 해상도로 이루어질 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 생태계 물과 탄소 순환 과정의 상호관련성에 대한 보다 향상된 이해를 위한 기본 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to develop stem volume models for the volume estimation of Quercus glauca Thunb. in Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. Furthermore, this study validated the developed stem volume models using an independent dataset. A total of 167 trees were measured for their diameter at breast height (DBH), total height and stem volume using non-destructive sampling methods. Eighty percent of the dataset was used for the initial model development while the remaining 20% was used for model validation. The performance of the different models was evaluated using the following fit statistics: standard error of estimate (SEE), mean bias absolute mean deviation (AMD), coefficient of determination (R²), and root mean square error (RMSE). The AMD of the five models from the different DBH classes were determined using the validation dataset. Model 5 (V = aD^bH^c), which estimates volume using DBH and total height as predicting variables, had the best SEE (0.02745), AMD (0.01538), R² (0.97603) and RMSE (0.02746). Overall, volume models with two independent variables (DBH and total height) performed better than those with only one (DBH) based on the model evaluation and validation. The models developed in this study can provide forest managers with accurate estimations for the stem volumes of Quercus glauca in the subtropical forests of Jeju Island, Korea.

This study was conducted to examine the components of phytoncide from a pine forest in the southern temperate zone. Recent studies have found that a large amount of phytoncide is released not only from cypress trees but also from pine trees. Because the amount released is the highest during summer, we selected a warm climate region in the southern temperate zone and measured the concentration in the month of August. To capture the phytoncide from the forest atmosphere, we used the adsorption tube method with a mini pump and successfully gathered 9 L of forest air at a flow rate of 150 mL/min. We performed duplicate sampling from two different tubes installed at the same location and derived the mean value. A gas chromatography/mass spectrometer detector with thermal desorption spectroscopy was utilized to perform quantitative and qualitative analyses of the captured material. The results showed that the average phytoncide particle of the pine forest in the southern temperate zone contained a number of components as follows in descending order: ${\alpha}$-Pinene (39%, $0.28ng/m^3$), followed by ${\beta}$-Pinene (16%, $0.11ng/m^3$), D-Limonene (8%, $0.06ng/m^3$), camphor (6%, $0.04ng/m^3$), camphene (6%, $0.04ng/m^3$), and p-Cymene (5%, $0.04ng/m^3$). There were also 13 additional phytoncide components in trace amounts. The results of this study are expected to provide a useful dataset for building a "Healing-forest".

Vegetation carbon sequestration and regeneration are the two major parameters of forest research. In this study, we analyzed the vegetation carbon stock and regeneration of community-managed pine plantation of Kathmandu, central Nepal. Vegetation data were collected from 40 circular plots of 10 m radius (for the tree) and 1m radius (for seedling) applying a stratified random sampling and nested quadrat method. The carbon stock was estimated by Chave allometric model and estimated carbon stock was converted into CO₂ equivalents. Density-diameter (d-d) curve was also prepared to check the regeneration status and stability of the plantation. A d-d curve indicates the good regeneration status of the forest with a stable population in each size class. Diversity of trees was very low, only two tree species Pinus roxburghii and Eucalyptus citriodora occurred in the sample plots. Pine was the dominant tree in terms of density, basal area, biomass, carbon stock and CO₂ stock than the eucalyptus. The basal area, carbon stock and CO₂ stock of forest was 33±1.0 ㎡ ha^-1, 108±5.0 Mg ha^-1 and 394±18 Mg ha^-1, respectively. Seedling and tree density of the plantation was 4,965 ha^-1 and 339 ha^-1 respectively. The forest carbon stock showed a positive relationship with biomass, tree diameter, height and basal area but no relationship with tree density. Canopy cover and tree diameter have a negative effect on seedling density and regeneration. In conclusion, the community forest has a stable population in each size class, sequestering a significant amount of carbon and CO₂ emitted from densely populated Kathmandu metro city as the forest biomass hence have a potentiality to mitigate the global climate change.

In this study, thirty-two stands in Kwangnung forest located in the central part of Korea were preferentially selected. In each stand, all stems for trees and shrubs were recorded by species and their girths were measured down to 5cm. In addition, several enviromental factors such as field soil pH, field soil moisture, soil compressibility, depth of soil, thickness of litter layer, elevation and basal area were measured. Three soil cores were sampled and various physical and chemcial properties was determined. The vegetational data were subjected to three kinds of multivariate ordination(PO, PCA, RA). The results suggested that Kwangnung forest was consisted of three forest types: coniferous, mixed and broad leaved forest communities. The relation between the stand scores of ordination and several environmental factors were investigated in terms of correlation analysis in order to examine the relationships between the vegetation and certain environmental factors. As a result of this analysis, the amount of sand content in A1 horizon decreased frm the coniferous to broad leaved forest, while maximum field capacity, pore space, exchangeable cations, loss on ignition, soil pH nad the amount of total nitrogen had a tendancy to increase significantly. However, easily soluble phosphorus appeared to have little to do with the forest types. The result of species ordination of centered-standardized PCA suggested that the major successional pathway in Kwangnung forest was; Pinus densifloralongrightarrowQuercus mongolica, Q. serrata, Q. alienalongrightarrowCarpinus laxifloralongrightarrowC. erosa in sequence. This trend is in good agreement with the past studies. In three kinds of ordination (centered PCA, centered-standardized PCA and RA) based on nineteen species and twenty-five stands, the total variances accounted for the first three axes were 77%, 46% and 63% respectively. The estimated beta diversity in Kwangnung forest assumed as a coenocline, was 1.5~1.8 HC. Increasing the effect of the sampling errors on ordination perfermance, this low heterogeneity seems to cause the poor concentration of the total variance. The results from the four kinds of ordination were in good agreement with each other, especially between PO, centered-standardized PCA and RA appeared robust. It seems to be worthy of applying multivariate method for analyzing other forest communities in Korea.

To understand the health conditions and growth patterns of forest estate for environmental resilience and climate change mitigation, assessment of structure and species diversity is paramount. This study aimed at assessing the structure, alpha, and beta diversities of tree species in three ecological zones in Taraba, Nigeria for management purposes. In recent time, no research has been reported on the structure and beta diversity of the study areas. A systematic sampling design was used for data collection. Five sample plots of 50×50 m were laid in each of the six natural forest areas. The result showed a mean DBH (42.5 cm) and a tree height (15.0 m) from the forests. The forests have a structure of an inverse "J-shape," which is typical of natural forests in the tropics. The southern Guinea savanna zone had the highest mean Shannon-Weiner diversity index (2.8). The least beta diversity index (0.02) was between Baissa and Jen Gininya forest areas. Baissa and Bakin Dutse Protected Forest Areas (PFAs) contained 76.5% of the tree species. There is a high chance of all tree species to be found in these 2 forest areas. Proximity to a location influences how similar two tree species are, according to the least beta diversity index (0.02) recorded. The Federal Government's method of management for the forest, known as Gashaka Gumti National Park, may be responsible for the high beta diversity index in the Montane ecozone. Therefore, it should be strongly encouraged to practice strict oversight of natural areas, as their contributions to reducing climate change in Taraba State, Nigeria, cannot be overstated.

Air pollution by acid pollutants is problematic in the whole world. Water acidification has already been deteriorating the forest ecosystem. This study was conducted to analyze the acidity and chemical composition of the open precipitation and throughfall at forests with various geographic locations in Korea. The results of this study are as follows; The open precipitation pH was lowest in Seochun. The throughfall pH showed some buffering capacity in only Quercus mongolica stands. In Pinus rigida(Shingal and Seochun) stands, there was little difference from the open precipitation. Chemical composition of the open precipitation for each sampling site showed that $Ca^{2+}$, N $H_{4}$$^{+}$ and S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$ concentrations had higher value than other ions, and except these ions, the small quantity of ions showed different properties to each site. Changes of ion concentrations in the throughfall showed a tendency to increase. ion concentrations of the throughfall increased with washout and nutrient leaching from the trees. In conclusion, the influence was extended to the pure zone, and the frequency of acid rain is increasing. But, if the deposition of pollutants exceeds the capacity of purification, it would damage forest ecosystem. Further investigations are necessary to identify tolerant tree species to acid pollutants.nts.

Changes on soil physical and chemical properties following the forest fire in Kosung area in Kangwon province were examined. Twenty seven sampling plots[16 burned (8 low intensity fire, 8 high intensity fire) and 11 unburned plots] from Pinus densiflora community were chosen and soil samples from three depths(0-5, 5-15, 15-25 cm) under the forest floor were collected. Forest fire in the area affected soil chemical properties. Soil pH, available phosphorus, base saturation, K, Ca, and Mg on the surface soil(0-5cm) in the burned areas compared with the unburned areas were increased, while soil properties on the subsurface soil(5-25 cm) were not changed. Organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and exchangeable cations following the high in tensity fire on the surface soil were generally lower than those in the low intensity fire areas. This indicates that these nutrients on high intensity fire areas may be volatilized. The results suggest that the fire effects on soil chemical properties were confined mainly to the surface soil and were different between the high and the low intensity fire types.
