A hypertonic solution of sorbitol was used to precondition Douglas-fir and Western hemlock plug seedlings to improve desiccation resistance. Seedlings were preconditioned by soaking their root balls in water, -0.75 or -1.50 MPa sorbitol solution for 22 hr, and then exposed to desiccation conditions for 8 days. During the desiccation period, a transpirational water loss was significantly reduced by the sorbitol preconditioning, with its effect positively depending on concentration. This preconditioning-induced reduction in water loss was mainly caused by the decline in needle stomatal conductance. Sorbitol-induced stomatal control was more closely associated with reduction in plant water potential, rather than increase in abscisic acid concentrations. After rehydration of stressed-plants, most of the preconditioned seedlings with sorbitol were survived, while only 35% of Douglas-fir and 28% of Western hemlock seedlings treated with water were alive. The post-growth was significantly greater in the preconditioned seedlings than only water-treated seedlings. These results suggested that the earlier stomatal control with sorbitol-facilitated preconditioning could play a role in improving desiccation resistance of evergreen woody plants at transplanting in the field where water supply is limited or dry conditions are prevailing.

Flakeboards made from ring- and drum-cut flakes of Douglas-fir, hemlock, red lauan and kapur using two kinds of resin levels were evaluated for the selected properties according to flake thickness. The pH and buffering capacity of four species were determined. Those of kapur were extremely different from the other three species. These pH and buffering capacity values result in the poor internal bond strength of kapur flakeboard. The internal bond strength was affected significantly by flake thickness, resin content and species. MOR and MOE in bending strength were maximized at medium drum-cut flake thickness. Screw holding strength was not consistent for flake thickness, but it was influenced by species. Thickness swelling and water absorption of Douglas-fir and hemlock flakeboard were minimized at medium drum-cut flake thickness.

Cicuta virosa is an endangered species in Korea, which is a southern marginal area. To conserve and restore habitats of this plant, we investigated water and soil environmental characteristics and vegetation at four habitats during the growing season. The C. virosa habitats differed in community structure, water and substrate properties, and water regime. Although the total distribution ranges of the water and soil environments for C. virosa were wide and overlapped with the optimal environmental range of distribution of accompanying species, the optimal water level range for C. virosa was defined as $7{\pm}3.5$ cm. Water level was adjusted by substrate structure such as a mound of P. japonica and a floating mat comprised of accompanying species. A floating mat was an aid to maintain an optimal and stable water level in deep or fluctuating water and to prevent strong competition with prolific macrophytes. The GS sampling site, which had floating mats, could be a good model for C. virosa conservation in a warm temperate region, whereas the PC sampling sites, which experienced a water shortage in spring, provided a clue about the decline in C. virosa population size.

외장용 기둥재는 년중 사용환경에서 액상수와 직접 접촉할 수가 있으나, 이에 대한 연구는 그다지 많지 않다. 목재의 섬유방향에서 결합수와 자유수 확산계수를 포함한 수분확산계수를 측정하기 위해 상온에서 흡수실험을 실시하였다. 흡수성은 느릅나무, 까치박달나무, 헴록, 가문비나무, 라디에타 소나무, 고로쇠나무 순으로 크게 나타났다. Boltzmann 변환법으로 구한 확산계수는 저함수율에서 섬유포화점 부근까지 감소하다가 최대함수율 부근에서 급격히 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 함수율 변화에 따른 확산계수는 $10^{-10}{\sim}10^{-7}m^2/s$ 정도의 값을 나타내었다.

A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the characteristics of leaching of Cr, Cu, and As from chromated topper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood. The wood species tested was hemlock spruce ($10\;cm\;{\times}\;10\;cm\;{\times}\;10\;cm\;tube$). The leaching experiment was conducted over 60 days using I L of leachants whose pHs were adjusted to 2.0, 3.7, and 1.6, respectively with nitric acid, and also using lake water, according to the OECD guideline. Each leachate was analyzed for Cr and Cu using flame-AAS, and for As using vapor generation-AAS. Three metals were loathed at the highest levels at pH 2.0 but almost at similar levels at the other conditions. Cumulative quantifies over 60 days of a leaching period were in order of As>Cu>Cr. As was predicted to leach with an increase in flux over a 10 year period, while Cr and Cu fluxes were predicted to decrease with time. This result suggest that arsenic can pose a health risk to humans over a long period of time, when CCA-treated wood is used for building facilities (e.g., playgrounds, residential purposes, etc.) with which humans frequently contact.

Cicuta virosa L. (Apiaceae) is a perennial emergent plant designated as an endangered species in South Korea. According to the former records, only four natural habitats remain in South Korea. A former study suggested that three of four populations (Pyeongchang: PC, Hoengseong: HS, Gunsan: GS) would be classified as different ecotypes based on their different morphological characteristics and life cycle under different environmental conditions. To evaluate this suggestion, we estimated genetic diversity in each population and distance among three populations by random amplification of polymorphic DNA. Seven random primers generated a total of 61 different banding positions, 36 (59%) of them were polymorphic. Nei's gene diversity and the Shannon diversity index increased in the order of PC < HS < GS, which is the same order of population size. In the two-dimensional (2D) plot of first two principal components in principal component analysis with the presence of 61 loci, individuals could be grouped as three populations easily (proportion of variance = 0.6125). Nei's genetic distance for the three populations showed the same tendency with the geographical distance within three populations. And it is also similar to the result of discriminant analysis with the morphological or life-cycle factors from the previous study. From the results, we concluded that three different populations of C. virosa should be classified as ecotypes based on not only morphology and phenology but genetic differences in terms of diversity and distance as well.

The adsorption of water vapor and equilibrium moisture content(EMC) of the specimens for four softwood species dried by conventional- and high temperature method and equilibrated to 15% of the target EMC condition at 25$^{\circ}C$ were determined by oven drying method and with moisture meters. The amount of adsorption for high temperature dried red pine was significantly higher than that of conventional kiln dried wood, while those of eastern white pine, eastern hemlock and Norway spruce were not significantly different between drying methods. EMCs of these four species determined by oven drying method and with capacitive admittance moisture meter were not significantly different between drying methods. EMC of high temperature dried red pine determined with resistance moisture meter was significantly higher than that of conventional kiln dried wood. But EMCs of other species did not show significant difference between drying methods. EMCs of conventional and high-temperature dried wood determined with electronic moisture meters, especially in the case of the capacitive-admittance moisture meter measurement, were lower than that determined by oven drying method.

생태건축에서 토대나 데크 또는 조경용으로 사용되는 CCA처리 목재를 맹독성의 비소(As)를 목탄에 잔류시켜 질산으로 용출시칸 다음, 얻어진 목탄을 에너지 자원으로 재활용하기 위하여 CCA처리된 Hemlock 판재를 $280{\sim}340^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 1시간동안 저온 열 분해처리하여 발생한 휘발성분을 1차 세척수와 2차 $1%HNO_3$ 흡수액으로 처리하여 휘발하는 중금속 성분을 포집하여 전체를 증발농축하여 CCA함량을 ICP-AES로 분석하고, 목탄중의 CCA를 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 목탄의 수율은 $340^{\circ}C$에서 50%에 이르고, 일반 저온 열분해의 경우와유사한 경향을 보였다. 2. 체계적이고, 반복적인 모니터링이 필요하지만, 온도가 증가할수록 CCA 성분 중 비소성분은 휘발량이 증가하는 경향이었다. 3. $300^{\circ}C$의 저온 열분해에서는 85% 이상의 CCA성분이 목탄 중에 잔류하였다. 4. 보다 정밀하고, 반복된 데이터가 필요하지만, 비소화합물은 $320{\sim}340^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 갑자기 열분해되어 휘발하고, 1차 세척수에 흡수된 것으로 생각된다. 5. 세척수의 흡수량이 손실량보다 적은 것은 세척시스템의 용량이 부족하기 때문에 특수 설계가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 6. 따라서 저온열분해 방법으로 CCA처리목재 중의 CCA를 보단 완전히 회수 분리하기 위하여서는 $320^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 보다 작은 목재 입자를 균일하게 가열하는 시스템개발이 필요하고, 보다 완벽한 세척시스템 개발이 필요하였다.

Oenanthe javanica와 O. javanica var. japonica 한국 내 식용미나리이다. Cicuta virosa는 독미나리로 시큐톡신을 함유하고 있다. 미나리에 대한 RAPD 마크에 의한 분자적 변이를 조사하였다. RAPD 분석을 위해 10개 올리고프라이머(오페론, OPB)로 6개 집단을 분석하였다. 6개 집단에서 72개 DNA 분절(밴드)을 찾았다. 72 밴드 중 61개(84.7%) 밴드는 다형현상을 나타내었다. 한국 내 독미나리 자연 집단은 작고 격리되어 패치 분포를 이루고 있지만 높은 유전적 다양도를 가지고 있었다. 반면에, 재배종 미나리(Oenanthe javanica var. japonica) 집단은 채소용으로 논에서 광범위한 분포를 나타내지만 독미나리와 야생종 미나리에 비해 낮은 유전적 다양도를 나타내었다. 비록 야생집단이 재배집단에 비해 다양도가 높지만 유의한 차이는 없었다. 전체 유전적 다양도(H_T)는 0.342였다. 집단 내 유전적 다양도(H_S)는 0.201이였다. 유전자 좌위에 근거한 집단 간 분화에서 전체 유전적 다양도의 비율(G_ST)은 0.414이므로 전체 변이의 41.4%는 집단 간에 있었다. 결론으로 RAPD기법은 독미나리와 식용미나리의 동정에 유용하였다. 또, RAPD의 OPB 마크는 미나리의 다른 자원과 식품 자원을 식별하는 데 도움이 될 수 있는 분자 마크임을 보여주었다.
