The carbon balance serves as a valuable indicator of a plant's physiological status under diverse environmental conditions. We investigated the photosynthetic and respiratory responses of the Asian surfgrass Phyllospadix iwatensis along the northeast coast of the Korean peninsula in response to changing water temperature (ranging from 5℃ to 30℃) to estimate the seasonal whole-plant carbon balance through a series of incubation experiments. The maximum gross photosynthetic rate (P_max) showed a significant difference among the temperature treatments, while there was no significant difference in photosynthetic efficiency (α). The maximum gross photosynthetic rate of P. iwatensis reached its peaks at 20℃ treatment (101.65 μmol O₂ g^-1 DW h^-1) but decreased rapidly at 30℃. The saturation irradiance (I_k), compensation irradiance (I_c), and respiration rate (R) of P. iwatensis exhibited significant differences among the temperature treatments. The saturation irradiance increased up to 20-25℃ (121.59-124.50 μmol photons m^-2 s^-1) and sharply decreased at 30℃. The compensation irradiance and respiration rate increased steadily with rising water temperature. The ratio of P_max to R (P_max:R ratio) was the highest at 5℃ but dramatically decreased at 30℃. The whole-plant carbon balance, calculated based on photosynthetic parameters, respiration rates, and biomass, exhibited distinct seasonal variation, increasing during winter and spring and decreasing during summer and fall, which is consistent with the highest in situ growth in spring and severely limited growth at the highest water temperature conditions. Phyllospadix iwatensis displayed a negative carbon balance during late summer, fall, and winter, but demonstrated a positive carbon balance during spring and early summer. Our findings suggest that the rising seawater temperatures associated with climate change may lead to significant alterations in the seagrass ecosystem functioning along the rocky shores of the Korean east coast.

The effects of temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of the harmful red tide dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides Margelef isolated from the South Sea of Korea were examined in the laboratory. Growth was examined under the following combinations of temperature and salinity: 15, 20, 25 and $30^{\circ}C$, and 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 psu at a constant irradiance of $180\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$. No growth was observed with a temperature of $15^{\circ}C$ and a salinitiy of 15 psu. Moderate growth rates of more than 0.30 /day were obtained at $25^{\circ}C$ with salinities of 25.35 psu. These values are similar to in situ observations for this species. The maximum growth rate, 0.35 /day, was obtained at $25^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu. In light experiments, cell growth of C. polykrikoides was conducted with constant temperature ($20^{\circ}C$) and salinity (30 psu) under light photon flux densities (PFD) of 10, 25, 50, 70, 100, 150, 250 and $350\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$. C. polykrikoides did not grow at $10\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$. Cell growth was observed at irradiance values of $25\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ and above. The irradiance-growth curve was described as ${\mu}=0.30{\cdot}(I-15.27)/(I+27.22)$, (r=0.99). This suggests a compensation PFD of $15.27\;{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ and a maximum growth rate of 0.30 /day. In conclusion, C. polykrikoides prefers high salinity, temperature and irradiance in summer in Korea. These results provide important information for understanding the mechanism of C. polykrikoides blooms and developing technology to predict blooms of this organism in the field.

A chain-forming toxic din flagellate, Gymnodinium catenatum (Graham) was known as a paralytic toxin-producer among Gymnodinoid group. In the study, the effects of water temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of G. catenatum isolated from Yeosuhae Bay, Korea were investigated. Water temperature range in which G. catenatum showed specific growth rate higher than 0.3 day$^{-1}$ were above about 18${^{\circ}C}$. However, salinity did not have such an effect on growth of G. catenatum. The maximum growth rate (0.5 day$^{-1}$) was obtained at 25${^{\circ}C}$ and 30 psu. The specific growth rate (u) expressed as a polynomial equation as functions of temperature (T; ${^{\circ}C}$) and salinity (S; psu) was $\mu$ = 0.005·T$^2$ - 0.0001164 T$^3$ - 0.063-S + 0.005-S$^2$ - 0.00007608-S$^3$ - 0.003-T-S + 0.00005308-T$^2$-S. Thus, in aspects of water temperature and salinity, the species may be expected to survive in most Korean coastal waters from early summer to autumn. The irradiance-growth curve was described as = 0.16 (I - 10.4)/(1 + 21.8) at 18${^{\circ}C}$ and 30 psu, indicating a half-saturation (Ks) photon flux density (PFD) of 42.6$\mu$mol m$^{-2}s^{-1}$ and compensation PFD (I$_0$) of 10.4$\mu$mol m$^{-2}s^{-1}$. These characteristic responses to irradiance suggest that G. catenatum can reside at the sub-surface.

This experiment was conducted to investigate a cause of summer depression of cool season turfgrass, using nine cultivars in warm season and twenty-eight cool season turfgrasses. Even though an average of apparent photosynthesis(APS) per fresh weight was 13.09 mg $CO_2$/g/h in warm season turfgrass and 7.75 mg $CO_2$/g/h in cool season turfgrass, the Creeping bentgrass in cool season type was higher than Kikuyugrass and Bahiagrass in warm season type. The optimum temperature for the heighest APS was $30^{\circ}C$ in warm season type and $25^{\circ}C$ in cool season type. In $CO_2$ compensation point(CCP) as an index of dark respiration, it was higher in cool season turfgrass(75.6ppm) than warm season turfgrass(29.5ppm). In warm season type, even though the temperature increased from $25^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$ the CCP was not increased. But the higher temperature rises the more increased CCP in cool season type. Dark respiration(DR) was higher in cool season type than warm season type under various temperature conditions, but the increasing ratio of DR with the temperature increment was not so much differed between two types.

This study was conducted to define the seasonal differences in the morphological characteristics, the photosynthetic abilities and the dark respirations of the 4-year old ginseng leaves. Chlorophyll-a content in the ginseng leaf was significantly decreased at September than at June but content of chlorophyll-b was not showed seasonal difference. At June, the amounts of chlorophyll a and b in the ginseng leaves grown in the back row were rather abundant than those grown in the front row, but no significant differencies were detected between rows at September. The estimated optimum light intensity for the photosynthesis of ginseng leaves was higher at June than at September and higher in the front row than the back row but was significantly decreased by air temperature above 25$^{\circ}C$. The light compensation point was elevated in higher temperature and at September than June. The amount of photosynthesis was significantly increased in the ginseng plant grown in the front row than the back row at June but the reverse was significant at September. The highest photosynthesis was observed in temperature range of 20 - 25$^{\circ}C$ at June and range of 15 -20$^{\circ}C$ at September. The optimum temperature range of photosynthesis was 21$^{\circ}C$ to 25$^{\circ}C$ at June and 14$^{\circ}C$ to 21$^{\circ}C$ at September, and that was higher in the back row than the front row. High temperature significantly stimulated the dark respiration of ginseng leaves and the respiratory quotients(Q$\_$10/) of the ginseng leaves showed a significant seasonal variation.

Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) materials have been widely studied for industrial applications, such as sensors and temperature compensation devices. NTC thermistor thick films of $Ni_{1+x}Mn_{2-x}O_{4+{\delta}}$ (x = 0.05, 0, -0.05) were fabricated on a glass substrate using the aerosol deposition method at room temperature. Resistance verse temperature (R-T) characteristics of the as-deposited films showed that the B constant ranged from 3900 to 4200 K between $25^{\circ}C$ and $85^{\circ}C$ without heat treatment. When the film was annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ 1h, the resistivity of the film gradually decreased due to crystallization and grain growth. The resistivity and the activation energy of films annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 h were 5.203, 5.95, and 4.772 $K{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and 351, 326, and 299 meV for $Ni_{0.95}Mn_{2.05}O_{4+{\delta}}$, $NiMn_2O_4$, and $Ni_{1.05}Mn_{1.95}O_{4+{\delta}}$, respectively. The annealing process induced insulating $Mn_2O_3$ in the Ni deficient $Ni_{0.95}Mn_{2.05}O_{4+{\delta}}$ composition resulting in large resistivity and activation energy. Meanwhile, excess Ni in $Ni_{1.05}Mn_{1.95}O_{4+{\delta}}$ suppressed the abnormal grain growth and changed $Mn^{3+}$ to $Mn^{4+}$, giving lower resistivity and activation energy.

This study is to investigate the effects of temperature, light and water deficit on apparent phytosynthesis rate (Pn) and dark respiration rate(Rd) of leaves in the series of studies dealing with primary productivity of korean white pine forest. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The light saturation for Pn occured at about 40 Klux, and light compensation at 1.0 to 1.3 Klux. 2. The Pn of current leaves was highest, and Pn was decreased with increasing leaf age. 3. The Rd on the response of temperature in February was about two times value in all of the temperature ranges as compared with the ones in August. 4. The incipient water stress, above which Pn and Rd declined from 100%, was different for Pn(-10bar). The high water stress required to reduce Pn to nearly 0%, at -24 bar, but Rd was only 43% at -24 bar. 5. The optimum temperature range for Pn showed about 15 to $18^{\circ}C$ in February and 23 to $26^{\circ}C$ in August.

The effects of temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of the dinoflagellate Akashiwo sanguinea isolated from Jaran Bay were examined in the laboratory. Maximum specific growth rate($0.28day^{-1}$) was observed with combination of $25^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu. Optimal growth (${\geq}80%$ of maximum specific growth rate) was obtained at $25^{\circ}C$ with salinities of 15~35 psu. This results indicated that A. sanguinea is a stenothermal of the high water temperature and euryhaline species. The irradiance-growth curve was described as ${\mu}=0.31(I-16.87)/(I+51.19)$. The compensation photon flux density ($I_0$) and half-saturation photon flux density ($K_I$) were $16.87{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ and $84.93{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$, respectively. In conclustion, A. sanguinea has advantage physiological characteristics for the species succession at the coastal areas in summer with sufficient irradiance, high water temperature and large salinity gradient.

The effects of temperature, salinity and irradiance on the growth of dinoflagellate Alexandrium affine were examined. A maximum specific growth rate ($0.69day^{-1}$) was observed with a combination of $25^{\circ}C$ and 25 psu. Optimal growth (80 % of the maximum specific growth rate) was obtained at $20-26^{\circ}C$ with salinities of 20-35 psu. The results indicated that A. affine is relatively stenothermal of given high water temperature and is a euryhaline species. The irradiance-growth curve found can be described as ${\mu}=0.75(I-4.25)/(I+65.47)$. The compensation photon flux density ($I_c$) and half-saturation photon flux density ($K_I$) were $4.25{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ and $57.0{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$, respectively. In conclusion, A. affine has advantageous physiological characteristics that enable it to be a dominant species in coastal areas with high water temperature and a large salinity gradient, in spite of relatively low irradiance.
