Background: Cliffs are a major plant habitat around the coastal area, but in contrast to sand dunes and salt marshes, they have been little investigated in Korea. There are simple descriptions of cliff vegetation in studies on island vegetation, but there is no published paper, which addressed sea cliff vegetation synthetically. Furthermore, the coastal area where this study was carried out was designated as a conservation reserve. Even though, this area is exposed to intense recreational use such as trekking in these days. This study aims to clarify spatial distribution and structure of vegetation along the environmental gradient on coastal cliff and plateau in the Janggi peninsula (Homigot) located on southeastern Korea. Further, this study has also another objective to prepare a restoration plan to protect this conservation reserve from intense human disturbance. Results: Landscape elements were arranged in the order of sea cliff risen directly on the sea, seashore, coastal cliff, and plateau covered with relatively deep soil in a coastal area of the Janggi peninsula (Homigot), southeastern Korea. Vegetation was sampled at 59 plots arranged from the sea cliff through the seashore and coastal cliff to plateau. The sea cliff, seashore, and coastal cliff, which compose the coastal landscape, were dominated by the seashore spatulate aster (Aster spathulifolius Maxim.) community, dwarf sand sedge (Carex pumila Thunb.) community, and seashore spatulate aster (Aster spathulifolius Maxim.) community. On the plateau corresponding to the ridge of the coastal cliff, black pine (Pinus thunbergii Parl.) community, golden rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata Laxmann) community, east Asian hackberry (Celtis sinensis Pers.) community, sawleaf zelkova (Zelkova serrata Makino) community, and Korean oak (Quercus dentata Thunb.) community were established in the mentioned order along distance from the sea. Stand ordination showed a vegetation sequence from the seashore through the cliff to the plateau, consistent in its overall pattern among sites. This was dominated by topography. There is evidence for the importance also of salinity, drought and of soil depth. Conclusion: The lack of scientific interest in cliffs to date is in striking contrast to the commonness of cliffs around the whole national territory and to the attraction cliffs have had for humans throughout history. Cliffs provide a unique habitat, rarely investigated from an ecological viewpoint. Cliffs may represent an invaluable type of ecosystem, consisting of some of the least disturbed habitats on earth and contributing more to the biodiversity of a region than their surface coverage would indicate. Although this coastal area where this study was carried out was designated as a conservation reserve, this area is in danger of severe disturbance due to excessive recreational use. We recommended a restoration plan to protect this area from such a disturbance.

To understand the dynamics of radial growth of trees and micro-climate at a site of Korean fir (Abies koreana Wilson) forest on high-altitude area of Mt. Hallasan National Park, Jeju Island, Korea, high precision dendrometers were installed on the stems of Korean fir trees, and the sensors for measuring micro-climate of the forest at 10 minutes interval were also installed at the forest. Data from the sensors were sent to nodes, collected to a gateway wireless, and transmitted to a data server using mobile phone communication system. By analyzing the radial growth data for the trees during the growing season in 2016, we can estimate that the radial growth of Korean fir trees initiated in late April to early May and ceased in late August to early September, which indicates that period for the radial growth was about 4 months in 2016. It is interesting to observe that the daily ambient temperature and the daily soil temperature at the depth of 20 cm coincided with the values of about 10 ℃ when the radial growth of the trees initiated in 2016. When the radial growth ceased, the values of the ambient temperature went down below about 15 ℃ and 16 ℃, respectively. While the ambient temperature and the soil temperature are evaluated to be the good indicators for the initiation and the cessation of radial growth, it becomes clear that radii of tree stems showed diurnal growth patterns affected by diurnal change of ambient temperature. In addition, the wetting and drying of the surface of the tree stems affected by precipitation became the additional factors that affect the expansion and shrinkage of the tree stems at the forest site. While it is interesting to note that the interrelationships among the micro-climatic factors at the forest site were well explained through this study, it should be recognized that the precision monitoring made possible with the application of high resolution sensors in the measurement of the radial increment combined with the observation of 10 minutes interval with aids of information and communication technology in the ecosystem observation.

The focus of this study is the promotion of green area volumes and their naturalness, water circulation system, decline of entropy, creation of biological habitats and linkage of separated urban green space. Re-presentative urban biotope survey sites were categorized as urban biotope, semi-natural biotope, and natural forest. In the urban biotope, a residential biotope was constructed near the Han river and in mountain areas. The green-area ratio at the housing complex was about 25%. GVZ(Grunvolumenzahl) was 0.35m$^3$/m$^2$ at the 5∼10-story housing complex, and 1.53m$^3$/m$^2$ over the 11-story. As for the green-area structure of the housing complex, canopy layer, understory layer, and shrub layer were not differentiated and the green-area volume was not high enough. The green-area ratio of school areas as a public area biotope was 5∼20%. GVZ was 1.12m$^3$/m$^2$ at Myungduk High School, and 1.78m$^3$/m$^2$ at Jeonggok Elementary School. In order to convert the urban biotope into an ecological area, green areas around the buildings should be connected to urban buffer green areas, and multi-layer structures should be established with natural plant species. In the semi-natural biotope, neighbor parks were created park in the vicinity of the natural forests. GVZ was 0.28m$^3$/m$^2$, and plantation was established with single layer structure and was definitely insufficient for the area. The urban buffer green areas have been established in strip corridors with the width of 20∼123m. In those areas, GVZ was 0.16∼0.27m$^3$/m$^2$ and had a deficient canopy layer, understory layer, and shrub layer. Soil conditions were not favorable for tree growth. In the natural biotope, GVZ of the plantation was 1.03∼1.5m$^3$/m$^2$ but the high crown closure of this area reduces the chance of species change and succession. GVZ of natural forest was 2.53∼2.57m$^3$/m$^2$. It is desirable to plant diverse plants and the natural forest should be succeeded by broad-leaf deciduous tree species. To improve the value of biotope at Kangseo-Gu, building height needs to be limited to reduce the environmental deterioration in the city. In order to maintain the water circulation system, water-permeable material is recommened when the urban surface areas are paved. The establishment of a water circulation system will improve ground water levels, soil moisture, water quality, and habitats. In order to improve biological diversity, it is desirable to have multi-layer structures in urban green areas with native species.

Human activities greatly affect the environment causing its degradation. Urban development and road networks construction cause main impacts on ecosystems and particularly on vegetation cover: road constructions induce complete degradation of the vegetation cover and often leaves a hare land, sometimes without even a soil cover. Reconstitution of vegetation cover is necessary to limit superficial erosion and land slipping on the road, towards a reintegration of the site in the neighbouring landscape. Many approaches have been studied over the last 30 years aiming at this reconstitution of vegetation cover. At frost, the main purpose of land reclamation was to create a new ecosystem. At this time, the environment created was rather a "garden" with a new soil adapted to the plantation of "decorative" species. Then, in early 90′s many studies on the restoration ecology concept rather focused on adapting the vegetation to the existing conditions on the site, as in a side road embankment for example. Nowadays, we notice a large tendency towards the use of such adapted native species instead of industrially produced seeds. In southern France, our team have led research on the potentials of those local species for their use in revegetation processes with hydro-seeding. We therefore developed an approach combining the use of different types of species: Industrially produced, native and wild cultivated species. This method integrates the benefits of using available low costing seeds that are already used on large scale projects with better adapted species, issued form the cultivation of native species and seed production for their use on smaller scale and more costly but more effective results. The use of wild cultivated species seeds was developed in order to limit the cost and reduce harsh natural seed withdrawal in the natural environment In the case of the use of native species. Besides, the use of such seeds allowed a larger geographical scale of use than with local native seeds. In addition, our team began two years ago a research project in Lebanon aiming at the Introduction and development of the revegetation techniques in Lebanon. In fact, this country bared since 20 years the consequences of urban pressure on its environment especially by the development of quarries and road networks. Therefore, pioneer work is necessary to aim at the adaptation of these techniques to the local environment.

최근 나노기술의 급격한 발전은 산업 및 바이오의약 등 다양한 분야에 새로운 활용 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 나노물질을 이용한 나노소비재의 증가와 함께 환경으로의 나노물질 노출 가능성이 제기되고 있으며, 최근 나노물질의 인체 및 환경 영향이 주요 현안으로 떠오르고 있다. 환경 중에 비의도적으로 노출된 나노물질은 다양한 환경 매질에 축적되고 언젠가는 우리들에게 재영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서, 환경 매질(대기, 수계, 토양)에 노출된 나노물질의 영향을 이해하기 위해서는 나노물질의 환경 내 거동을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 나노물질의 환경 매질별 노출 사례를 조사하고, 향후 연구 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 작업장(실험실)에서는 주로 대기 노출이 지배적이지만, 환경중으로 노출될 경우 최종적으로 수계 및 토양으로 노출되는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 기존의 하수처리장 설비로는 완벽하게 나노물질을 제거하기가 어렵다는 것을 확인하여, 나노폐기물 처리에 관한 새로운 방법론 개발이 절실함을 확인하였다. 보다 다양하고 깊이있는 환경 노출 연구를 위해서는 현장 모니터링 장비의 개발이 필요함을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이에 추가적으로 다양한 분석법을 제안하였다. 본 총설에서 정리한 나노물질의 환경 매질별 노출 사례 연구들은 향후 나노물질의 환경 거동 평가 및 나노폐기물의 적절한 처리방법 모색에 기본 자료로 활용될 것이다.

채석장으로부터 원석을 채취하여 건축석재 및 쇄석골재 등으로 가공하는 과정에서 원석의 약 60% 정도가 폐석이나 석분토로 손실되고 있다. 이 중에서 폐석의 일부만이 도로포장용 쇄석골재로 활용되고 있을 뿐 대부분의 석분토는 석재의 가공이나 파쇄공정에서 분말형태로 물에 혼입되어 슬러지탱크에 침전되게 된다. 이러한 석분토가 방류되거나 살포되면 지표나 지중의 공극들이 메워져 지표수의 지중침투, 지하수의 흐름, 공기의 소통 등이 원활하게 이루어지지 않아 생태계에 악영향을 끼칠 수도 있다. 현행 우리나라 폐기물관리법(2003)에 따르면 석분토가 사업장 내에서 발생되는 산업폐기물로 분류되고 있어 대부분을 지중에 매설하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 석분토의 물성 및 공학특성을 개량하여 효율적 재활용방안의 수립이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 국내 채석장에서 발생되는 석분토의 개량 및 재활용 가능성을 분석하기 위해 6개 채석장으로부터 시험용 석분토 및 원지반토를 채취한 후, 이를 일정한 비율의 배합비로 제작한 혼합토를 대상으로 여러 토질시험을 실시하였다. 시험결과를 토대로 도로용 재료로서 석분토의 개량 및 재활용 가능성을 검토하였다.

본 연구는 우리나라에 분포하고 있는 참나무 천연림을 대상으로 강우의 이동에 따른 임내우(수관통과우 및 수간류)의 수량변화 및 양분동태를 분석하였다. 임외우량에 대한 임내우량의 비율은 지역에 따라 차이를 보였는데 이는 수종특성 치에 입지조건이나 기상조건 등의 복합적인 요인에 크게 영향을 받고 있다고 판단된다. 따라서, 앞으로 참나무 천연림의 보육사업을 실시하는데 있어서 지역별 수자원 관리 체계를 수립할 필요가 있다고 생각된다. 지역에 따른 수관통과우의 양분 유입량을 비교한 결과, $Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}$ 및 $K^+$'는 수체로부터의 용탈과 황사발생에 의한 집적, $Na^+$와 $Cl^-$은 해염성 기원물질, $NO_3^-$ 와 $SO_4^{2-}$는 대기오염물질의 건성침착 등의 영향에 의한 지역적 특성을 크게 반영하고 있었다. 수간류의 양분물질량은 임내우(수관통과우+수간류) 물질량의 10% 전후의 작은 값을 나타내었다. 그러나 도시지역 참나무 천연림에 있어서는 수간류의 pH가 $3{\sim}5$의 범위에 분포하고 있어 이러한 수간류의 토양유입은 장기적으로는 근계 주변 토양 및 토양수의 pH와 양분동태에 크게 영향을 미칠 것이라 생각된다.
