Pinus koraiensis is one of the most important reforestation species which had widely been planted around the country. Therefore, there are great research needs on the fundamental properties of wood to extend the frequency of uses and adequate availabilities. Research results on the characteristics of anatomical wood properties and changes are summarized as follows: 1. At a horizontal direction of tree trunk, the tracheid length at outer wood gradually becomes shorter as it reaches to pith. The tracheid length having between 32 and 42 annual rings showed over 2.5 times longer than that of pith, and also its length increases from the bottom to the top of the stem. 2. The tracheid diameters in latewood showed a little fluctuations, and the shortest near to the pith in earlywood. The tracheid diameters in earlywood are more than 2 times those of latewood, and the differences between the mature and juvenile wood in earlywood are less than 10${\mu}m$. 3. The tracheid wall thickness in early wood showed a little fluctuations. On the contrary, tracheid wall thickness in latewood rapidly increases from the pith to the bark. The tracheid wall of mature wood showed 10 to 20% thicker than that of juvenile wood. 4. The fibril angle at the secondary walls of tracheid within an annual ring showed higher degree in earlywood than that of latewood. The highest tracheid fibril angle was observed at around the pith of both earlywood and latewood. Then, fibril angle slowly decreased toward outer wood, and was stabilized after 15 years. 5. Structural boundaries between mature and juvenile wood from Pinus koraiensis are divided by 13 to 19 annual ring and distance of 5 to 8cm from the pith.

Tracheid length, microfibril angle, and compression strength were examined in south and north sides of Pinus koraiensis. The sample tree was 57 years old and had been planted in central Korea. Tracheid length on the south side of the tree ranged from 2.87 to 3.40mm and on the north ranged from 3.60 to 3.53mm and mean values were 3.15 mm for the south and 3.26mm for the north. Tracheid length was 0.11 mm longer on the north side than on the south. Microfibril angle on the south side ranged from $12.6^{\circ}$ to $20.3^{\circ}$ and that on the north from $6.8^{\circ}$ to $13.5^{\circ}$; mean values were $16.6^{\circ}$ on the south side and $9.6^{\circ}$ on the north. Microfibril angle was $7.0^{\circ}$ greater on the south side than on the north side. For compression strength on the south and north sides, significant difference at the 95% level was found only at l.3m above the ground level of the sample tree; for compression limit stress, significant difference at this level was found at 1.3 and 5.3m above the ground level. However, compression strength and compression limit stress were greater on the north side than on the south side.

Anatomical characteristics on abnormal type of bisected compression woods and light colored wood intervened between these dark colored compression woods on under part and their respective opposite woods on upper parts of cross section in Pinus densiflora S. et Z. stem were compared through optical microscopic investigation. and the obtained results were summarized as follows: 1. Tracheid length increased linearly as the number of rings from the pith increases in all investigated parts, but increasing tendency in tracheid length was similar within bisected two compression woods and their opposite woods. 2. Tracheids were the shortest in bisected two compression woods and tracheid length in intervened wood between these two compression woods was longer than in compression woods but shorter than in the opposite woods. 3. Bisected two compression woods and intervened wood between these two compression woods revealed similar features in tracheid transition from springwood to summerwood, intercellular space, tracheid entanglement, and cross sectional view of tracheid. but spiral check was observed only in these two compression woods, therefore the intervened wood between these two compression woods disclosed anatomical characteristics similar to, not typical of, compression woods.

This study was carried out to find the relationship between anatomical characters and compression strength parallel to grain of Pinus densiflora S. et. Z., the representative conifer species in Korea. The results were as follows ; 1. The compression strength parallel to grain increased with the increase of tracheid length and wall thickness. The strength, however, decreased with the increase of height of uniseriate ray and microfibril angle. 2. The major factors affecting compression strength parallel to grain in heartwood were radial diameter of latewood tracheid and wall thickness of earlywood tracheid but length and tangential diameter of latewood tracheid were the important factors in sapwood.

Larix kaempferi is a tree with a major economic impact and is processed in large quantity every year in Korea. This study was carried out to collect basic data for the reasonable use of Larix kaempferi and to investigate the relation between anatomical properties and modulus of rupture (MOR) for heartwood and sapwood. As the length of earlywood tracheid and the radial wall thickness of earlywood tracheid and latewood tracheid increased, the modulus of rupture (MOR) increased, but decreased with increasing microfibril angle. Statistical analysis by the stepwise regression technique shows that the main factors affecting the modulus of rupture (MOR) of heartwood are the microfibril angle and the radial wall thickness of latewood tracheid, while those affecting MOR of sapwood are the length of earlywood tracheid and the microfibril angle.

Anatomical characteristics of the secondary xylem in the roots and the stems of genus Pinus including nine species growing naturally in Korea have been studied to elucidate the structural differences between two organs. The results, comparing the root woods with the stem woods, are as follows; The transition from the early-wood to the late-wood occurs more gradually in the root woods. In the root woods, the bordered pits on the radial wall of tracheid are frequent in the two rows. The spiral thickening on the radial and tangential wall of the tracheid can be seen in the only stem woods of four species such as P. koraiensis, P. rigida, P. rigitaeda and P. banksiana. In the majority of the species studied, the length of the tracheid is longer in the root woods, but in some species such as P. strobus, P. densiflora, P. rigida and P. sylvestris, this length is almost sam ein both organs. The diameter of the tracheid in the root woods is wider. The wall thickness of the tracheid in the early wood is thicker in the root woods, but vice versa in the late woods. More rays per unit area can be seen in the root woods.

Larix kaemferi is now a major economic kind of trees and is produced in large quantity every year. Thus, the study of Larix kaemferiis conducted to acquire the basic date of measures for the reasonable use, clarifying the relation with the compression strength parallel to grain according to anatomical properties by heartwood and sapwood, and earlywood and latewood. As the length of an earlywood tracheid and the radial wall thickness of earlywood and latewood tracheids increased, the compression strength rose, and as the height of uniseriate ray in cell number increased, the compression strength parallel to grain fell. The major anatomical factors effecting on the compression strength parallel to grain of heart wood were the radial wall thickness of a latewood tracheid and the length of a latewood tracheid, while in sapwood, the length of an earlywood tracheid and the radial wall thickness of earlywood and latewood tracheids were the major factor on it.

잦나무 조림목의 유용한 이용과 적합한 용도개발을 위한 수간내 재질변동을 조사하였다. 수고방향(수고 약 20m중 0.3, 1.3, 2.3, 5.3m부위)의 가도관장, 가도관폭, 마이크로피크릴경사각, 압축강도를 측정하고, 그들의 변동에 관하여 Duncan의 다중검정법에 의하여 조사하였다. 그 결과 가도관장, 가도관폭 및 압축강도는 대체로 유의차를 보이지 않았으나 마이크로피브릴경각은 유의차를 나타냈다. 그러나 마이크로피브릴경각은 수고에 따라 높아지거나 또는 낮아지는 등 일정한 경향을 보이지는 않았다.

중부 지방의 조림지에서 생육된 30년생의 일본잎갈나무(낙엽송)에 대하여 지상고별로 원반을 채취해 수를 중심으로 남측과 북측 부위의 조재 및 만재에 대해 가도관 길이와 폭, 마이크로피브릴 경각 및 압축, 휨, 충격 강도를 조사했다. 가도관의 길이와 폭에 있어 남측과 북측간에는 측정된 대부분 부위에서 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 남측과 북측간의 마이크로피브릴 경각과 강도 역시 측정된 대부분 부위에서 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 남측과 북측 부위간의 접선방향 수축율과 강도에 차이가 드러나지 않은 것은 남측과 북측간의 마이크로피브릴 경각사이에 차이가 없는 점에 기인하는 것으로 생각되었다.

은행나무 줄기와 뿌리의 해부학적 관찰에서 횡단면의 가도관의 접선직경, 세포면적, 세포벽 두께 및 방사열에서 세포층수는 산성비의 pH가 낮아짐에 따라 감소되었다. 은행나무의 절선면에서 관찰한 줄기와 뿌리의 방추형 시원세포의 길이와 방사조직 시원세포의 길이는 산성비 처리에 의해 짧아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 곰솔의 줄기와 뿌리의 횡단면에서 가도관의 접선직경, 세포면적, 세포벽 두께 및 방사열에서 세포층수 역시 산성비 처리에 의해 pH가 낮아짐에 따라 감소되었다. 곰솔의 피층, 수와 목부의 면적은 산성비 처리에 의해 감소되었다. 따라서 산성비는 은행나무와 곰솔의 길이생장은 물론 형성층의 활동력을 감소시켜 2기목부의 분화를 둔화시키는 것으로 보인다.
