After the reversion of Okinawa (Ryukyu Islands) to Japan in 1972, extensive urban and agricultural development resulted in a significant increase in sediment discharge to coastal waters. The release of sediment has caused the degradation of freshwater and coastal ecosystems and biodiversity. A consideration for catchment-to-reef continua, as well as agricultural (socioeconomic) factors is necessary to establish proper land-based management plans for the conservation of the island environment. We have set up a framework to integrate biophysics and socioeconomics: 1) setting a conservation target and threshold, 2) identifying the sources and processes, and 3) examining cost-effectiveness and management priorities. The framework may be applicable to other tropical and subtropical islands with similar characteristics.

We surveyed the biodiversity of lepidopterous insects in Jindo Island using UV bucket trap in July 2016 to determine the relationship between surrounding environment and ecosystem in order to contribute to biodiversity conservation and management of coastal islands in Korea. Based on our survey results, a total of 262 lepidopterous insect species in 16 families were collected from Jindo Island. Members belonging to families Noctuidae and Geometridae made up approximately half of the total species (86 species [32.82%] in Noctuidae and 44 species [16.79] in Geometridae). There were 29 species (11.07%) belonging to Crambidae and 28 species (10.69%) belonging to Pyralidae. As a result of all collections based on previous literature and this study, a total of 730 species belonging to 34 families were collected from Jindo Island, including 33 protected species, 242 species (33.15%) belonging to Noctuidae (the most abundant), 124 species (16.99%) belonging to Geometridae, 79 species (10.82%) belonging to Crambidae, and 65 species (8.90%) belonging to Pyralidae. The most frequently collected species was Lamoria glaucalis in this syudy. Our results on the diversity of lepidopterous insects will provide basic information for future investigation on diverse changes in the ecosystem of Jindo Island, Korea.

This study aims to estimate a urban heat island potential distribution based on the land-use types using Landsat TM(1100 LST August 2004) and AWS data in Daegu. The heat island potential is defined as a difference between surface temperature and air-temperature at each place. The study area was selected as about $900km^2$ square including Daegu metropolitan area. Land-use data obtained by dividing all of Daegu metropolitan area in- to 1-km-square three types of maps were prepared in the 1960s, 1970s and 2000s respectively. Land-use types were classified into 5 categories. Forest and farm lands have been reduced at a wide range during 40 years. Most of those changed into urban area. The heat island potential distribution presented a striking contrasts according to land-use types. For example, the heat island potential of urban area was higher than $10^{\circ}C$ in comparison to those of water or paddy rice areas.

Located 60 km from southern tip of Korean peninsula, Jeju is the largest Island in Korea and composed of volcanic habitat. Twenty-eight species of terrestrial mammals are listed from Jeju Island, of which 1 species and 3 subspecies are endemic. Also, 1 endangered species and 4 invasive alien species of land mammals are listed. Current status, brief history, management and conservation of the 28 species are discussed.

This study intended to the optimal conservation method and to make an application scheme for the fossil locality of the Quaternary Hamori Formation at the northeastern coast of Mt. Songak. Many kinds of innumerable fossils are found from the Hamori Formation in the study area: Footprints of hominid, trace fossils of invertebrates, bird, artiodactyla, proboscidea, carnivores, unclassified footprints, and body fossils (arthropoda, gastropoda, mollusca, and plants). The formation has been outcropped and eroded out with innumerous fossils by the strong wave action of storm and typhoon. Korean government recognized the dangerous situation of the important fossils and decided to conserve the formation for the national heritage. Method D1 (conservation hall or museum on the fossil locality) may be the best way to protect the fossil locality from all the natural activities and to do the research, exhibition, education, and sightseeing together. The application of the geologic materials from the fossil locality should preferentially focus on the collection and research which should be accompanied by exhibition, education, and sightseeing. The application scheme may be stepped into three stages during 10 years: (1) systematic conservation and publicity during 2005-2007, (2) establishment of wellorganized museum during 2008-2010, and (3) international museum with the optimized roles 2011-2014.

Determination of the minimum population size is an important component for the ex situ conservation of an endangered species. Here, we present the identification of collection strategies that most efficiently captured the genetic diversity of Brasenia schreberi J.F. Gmelin (water-shield) in natural populations from the mainland (MGC) and Jeju Island (JNS) of South Korea, using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. A total of 313 and 383 polymorphic bands were detected in the MGC and JNS populations, respectively. All of the 140 sampled ramets were distinguishable by the presence of distinct AFLP phenotypes. According to the simulation of the individual sampling by maximization sampling, 25 and 28 individuals captured all of the genetic diversity in the MGC population (mainland of South Korea) and the JNS population (Jeju Island), respectively. The level of genetic diversity of the core collections was similar to the entire collection, indicating that the core collections very well represent the diversity of the entire collection. We therefore suggest a management unit of B. schreberi based on the genetic information for assessing the minimum population size for its ex situ conservation.

우리나라 남 서해안에 분포하는 261개의 무인도서에 대해, 생태계 보전과 귀화식물종의 효율적인 관리를 위하여, 섬생물 지리학적 방법론에 의한 귀화식물종의 분포와 확산 pattern 및 섬의 지리적 환경과의 상관성 분석을 수행하였다. 조사된 261개 도서 중 귀화식물 종은 229(87.7%)개 도서에서 총 106종이 관찰되었다. 도서 당 귀화식물 종수는 평균 4.6 $\pm$ 4.07)이었으며, 서해그룹보다 남해그룹에 속한 도서에서 많았다. 귀화식물 종당 관찰된 무인도서 수는 평균 12.9 $\pm$ 25.92)개였고, 100개 이상의 도서에서 관찰된 종은 귀화도(5등급)가 높은 소리쟁이(R. crispus L.; 153개)와 개망초(E. annuus Pers.; 130개), 망초(C. canadensis (L.) Cronquist; 121개)의 3종이었다. 106개 귀화식물 종의 출현 빈도에는 도서 면적과 육지와의 최단거리, 인간간섭 강도 및 위 경도 등이 모두 유의한 상관성을 나타냈으며, 면적(r=0.182)보다는 최단거리(r=-0.330)와의 상관성이 더욱 높은 것으로 나타났다. 경로분석 결과 귀화식물 종수는 도서의 면적이 증가할수록, 그리고 육지와의 거리가 가까울수록 종수가 증가하였으나, 인간 간섭 효과는 매우 낮았다. 회귀 분석 결과, 106종의 귀화식물 종의 분포는 육지와의 최단거리가 10.9%의 설명력으로 제일 높았으며, 면적을 추가했을 경우에는 회귀 직선으로 귀화종수 변화의 21.8 %까지 설명할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 무인도서에서 귀화식물의 관리와 생태계 보전을 위한 기초 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 청산도 구들장논 석축을 대상으로 관속식물 특성을 파악하여 향후 청산도 구들장논 석축의 식물다양성 보존 및 관리를 위한 기초자료로 수행되었다. 청산도 구들장논 석축의 전체 관속식물은 60과 142속 170종 5아종 9변종 총 184분류군으로 확인되었다. 희귀식물은 1분류군, 한국특산식물은 2분류군, 식물구계학적 특정식물은 28분류군, 암벽식생은 20분류군, 침입외래식물은 25분류군이었다. 이 중 희귀식물인 고란초는 부흥리, 청계리 구들장논 석축에서 소수 개체로 확인되었으나 구들장논 석축 훼손, 방치로 인해 종·개체수 감소가 우려되므로 생육지 보존이 필요하다.

울산광역시 목도 식생에 대한 식생학적 연구가 수행되었다. 전통적인 군락분류법에 의한 식생유형 분석과 축적 1:800의 현존식생도를 제작하여 식생의 공간적 분포양식을 규명하고, 식생자원진단카드를 개발하여 주요 수목에 대한 활력도를 평가하였다 목도의 식생은 50과 93속 111종 (귀화식물 11종 포함)으로 이루어진 13개 식물군락이 분포하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 목도식생은 섬 면적의 37.4%를 차지하는 상록활엽수림의 후박나무군락으로 대표되며, 극히 단순한 종조성과 층구조, 그리고 주요 수목 가운데 95.7%가 절대감시 및 주요감시 대상인 개체를 포함하고 있는 매우 취약한 식생구조인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 상록활엽수림과 상록침엽수림은 해양에 대응한 공간적 분포의 경향성이 뚜렷한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구를 통하여 목도식생의 보전을 위한 장기생태연구의 토대를 구축하였다.
