  • This study explained vertical distributions and growth environments for woody vegetation. It had been degenerated by long-term volcanic activity of Sakurajima; vegetation and thicknesses of tephra layers and forest soils were investigated at 5 sites (250-700 m in altitude) with different altitudes localized at the northwestern-northern flanks of Sakurajima in Kagoshima Prefecture. The results in 2015 were compared with the vertical distribution of woody vegetation in 1963, when the volcanic activity of Sakurajima was relatively moderate. Thus, we investigated temporal changes in the vertical distribution of woody vegetation owing to volcanic activity over about 50 years (1963-2015). We indicated altitude decreased, the number of woody vegetation, number of species, sum of cross-sectional area of tree diameter at breast height, Fisher-Williams's diversity index ${\alpha}$, and forest soil thickness increased. However, these values were found to be degenerated when compared to climax forest values, and succession was incomplete. It seems that because the woody vegetation of the flank was affected by volcanic activity for a long time, exposing them to severe growth environments, areas with lower altitudes became distant from the craters of Sakurajima, thereby weakening the effect of volcanic activity in these areas at lower altitudes. a at the same altitudes over about 50 years (1963-2015) decreased by about 31-72%, and the sum of the cross-sectional area in tree diameter at breast heights decreased by about 14-62%. Thus, comparative growth environments for woody vegetation in 2015 were more severe than that of 1963, with respect to tephra layer thickness. In addition, for vegetation succession in the flank of Sakurajima, vegetation restoration should be promoted through the introduction of artificial woody plants covered by symbiotic microorganisms or organic materials.

  • This study was conducted to assess the effects of the dietary supplementation of riboflavin (as a bile salt hydrolase [BSH] inhibitor) and Bacillus subtilis on growth performance and woody breast of male broilers challenged with Eimeria spp. Intestinal bacteria, including supplemented probiotics, can produce BSH enzymes that deconjugate conjugated bile salts and reduce fat digestion. A 3 × 2 × 2 (riboflavin × Bacillus subtilis × Eimeria spp. challenge) factorial arrangement of treatments in randomized complete block design was used. On d 14, birds were gavaged with 20× doses of commercial cocci vaccine (CoccivacR -B52, Merck Animal Health, Omaha, NE). Dietary treatment of riboflavin and B. subtilis did not affect body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion (FCR) d 0 to 14 and overall d 0 to 41. Eimeria spp challenge reduced BWG, feed intake (FI), and increased FCR between d 14 to 28, but increased BWG and lowered FCR between d 28 to 35. There were no effects of the Eimeria spp. challenge on the overall d 0 to 41 FCR and FI, but BWG was reduced. Eimeria spp. challenge increased the abdominal fat pad weight and slight woody breast incidences on processed birds on d 42. Dietary inclusion of B. subtilis and riboflavin at tested levels did not help birds to mitigate the negative impact of Eimeria spp. challenge to enhance the growth performance.

  • 유목(流木) 대책(對策)에 필요한 기초 자료를 얻기 위해 산지급류소하천(山地急流小河川)에 있어서 유목(流木)의 발생, 이동 및 체류(滯留)에 영향을 미치는 하상미지형(河床微地形)의 특성과 유목(流木)의 본수, 크기, 형태, 부후도(腐朽度), 체류(滯留) 방향(方向) 및 종류 등의 유목(流木) 특성(特性)을 파악하였다. 1. 유목(流木)의 체류(滯留) 본수(本數)는 하폭(河幅)에 비례하여 증가하는 경향이 나타났으나 하천의 종단 물매에는 크게 영향을 받지 않았다. 특히 확폭부(擴幅部)에서도 복수(複數) 유로(流路)가 발달된 구간을 중심으로 다량의 유목(流木)이 체류(滯留)하고 있었으며, 현유로(現流路)보다는 하상퇴적지(河床堆積地)에 주로 체류(滯留)하고 있었다. 2. 조사 대상인 직경 10cm 이상, 길이 2m 이상의 유목(流木)은 총 402개로 100m당 체류(滯留) 본수(本數)는 35.3개였다. 또한 유목(流木)의 평균 길이와 흉고직경은 각각 4.0m, 14.0cm였으며, 구간별 유목(流木)의 크기는 하류로 갈수록 길이가 짧아지고 직경이 커지는 경향이 나타났다. 3. 유목(流木)이 이동할 때에는 토석류(土石流)나 조도(粗度)가 큰 하상(河床) 재료(材料)와 접촉되기 때문에 하류(下流) 구간(區間)과 일부 상류(上流) 구간(區間)에서 뿌리가 없는 유목(流木)이 다수 발견되었으며, 상류(上流) 구간(區間)에서도 유목(流木)의 원형이 크게 손상된 경우가 많았다. 또한 유목(流木)의 부후도(腐朽度)는 하류로 갈수록 심했으며, 하류의 일부 구간에는 부후(腐朽)가 상당히 진행된 유목(流木)이 발견되어 이전에도 유목(流木)이 체류(滯留)하고 있었던 것이 확인되었다. 4. 유목(流木)의 체류(滯留) 방향(方向)은 유심(流心)에 평행하여 체류(滯留)하는 경우와 직각으로 체류(滯留)하는 경우가 각각 276 : 126으로 유심(流心)에 평행하여 체류(滯留)하는 경우가 많았다. 그러나 일부 구간에는 유심(流心)에 직각 방향으로 체류(滯留)하는 유목(流木)이 다수 분포하여 유목(流木) 자체가 불안정할 뿐 아니라 이동(移動) 토사(土砂)가 체류(滯留)되기 쉬우므로 이에 대한 대비책이 마련되어야 할 것이다. 5. 유목(流木)의 종류는 침엽수인 일본잎갈나무가 전체 유목(流木)중 약 2/3에 해당하는 256본을 차지하고 있었다. 그러나 일본잎갈나무의 경우 지상부에 비해 지하부가 빈약하기 때문에 하상(河床) 재료(材料)의 작은 충격이나 소규모의 하상변동(河床變動)에 의해서도 유출되기 쉬우므로 하안림(河岸林)의 수종으로 선택할 경우에는 신중을 기해야 할 것이다.

  • The dramatic improvements in the growth rate and breast muscle size and yield in broilers through the intensive genetic selection, and the improvement in nutrition and management over the past 50 years have introduced serious abnormalities that influenced the quality of breast meat. The abnormalities include pale-soft-exudative (PSE) conditions, deep pectoral muscle (DPM) myopathy, spaghetti meat (SM), white striping (WS), and woody breast (WB) that have serious negative implications to the broiler meat industry. The incidences of PSE and DPM have been known for several decades, and their prevalence, etiology and economic impact have been well discussed. However, other abnormalities such as SM, WS and WB conditions have been reported just for few years although these conditions have been known for some time. The newly emerging quality issues in broilers are mainly associated with the Pectoralis major muscles, and the incidences have been increased dramatically in some regions of the world in recent years. As high as 90% of the broilers are affected by the abnormalities, which are expected to cause from $200 million to $1 billion economic losses to the U.S. poultry industry per year. So, this review mainly discusses the histopathological characteristics and biochemical changes in the breast muscles with the emphasis on the newly emerging abnormalities (SM, WS, and WB) although other abnormalities are also discussed. The impacts of the anomalies on the nutritional, functional, mechanical and sensory quality of the meat and their implications to the poultry industry are discussed.

  • Plants sequester atmospheric CO$_2$, a major agent of climate change, during the growing periods and mitigate its rising accumulation in the atmosphere. Pinus densiflora and Quercus mongolica are the native tree species dominant in the temperate forests of Korea. This study quantified the annual CO$_2$ uptake by the two species at forest sites in Chuncheon in the middle of the country. The quantification was based on seasonal measurements of CO$_2$ exchange rates under natural conditions by an infrared gas analyzer over the growing season (1999). The monthly CO$_2$ uptake per unit leaf area ranged from 1.6-6.7 mg/d㎡/h for P. densiflora and from 3.7-8.9 mg/d㎡/h for Q. mongolica, with a maximum in mid-summer. An equation for each species was generated to estimate easily the annual CO$_2$ uptake by total leaf area per tree, which subtracted the CO$_2$ release (i.e. respiration) by leaves and woody organs from the gross CO$_2$ uptake (diurnal uptake and release by leaves). Annual CO$_2$ release by leaves and woody organs accounted for 58-73% of the gross CO$_2$ uptake across tree specimens. Annual CO$_2$ uptake per tree increased with increasing dbh (stem diameter at breast height) for the study diameter range, and was greater for Q. mongolica than for P. densiflora in the same dbh sizes. This was mainly associated with a greater total leaf area in the former. For example, the annual CO$_2$ uptake by one tree with dbh of 25 cm was 35.6 kg/yr for P. densiflora and 47.9 kg/yr for Q. mongolica. The results from this study can be applied to evaluate an atmospheric CO$_2$ reduction of woody plants by forest type and age class.

  • 본 연구는 육계(Ross 308, Arbor Acres)에서 나타나는 가슴살 경화도를 비침습적 디지털 촉진장치인 MyotonPRO®를 사용하여 분석하였다. 이 논문의 목적은 육계의 생축에서 가슴 경직성의 변이를 측정할 수 있는가와 그 변이가 다른 형질과 어떤 상관을 갖는 지 알아보는 것이다. 연구결과, Ross 308과 Arbor Acres 모두에서 주령에 따라 가슴살 경화도의 변화가 관찰되었으며, 특히 2주차와 8주차에 높은 심각도를 보였다. 연구된 다양한 측정 형질들은 모두 WB의 발현과 관련이 있음을 보여준다. 또한, 가슴살의 무게와 가슴살 경화도 간에는 높은 양의 상관관계가 관찰되어, 증가하는 가슴살 무게가 가슴살 경화도 증가와 연관될 수 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구에서는 Ross 308과 Arbor Acres 품종의 가슴살 Stiffness를 측정하고 이를 WB 현상이 보고된 Ross 708의 데이터와 비교했으며, Ross 308과 Arbor Acres에서는 Ross 708에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 Stiffness 수치가 관찰되어 WB 현상이 발현되지 않았음을 시사한다. 이 결과는 품종에 따른 가슴살의 특성 차이를 나타내며, WB 발현에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다. 사양 실험에서 나타난 결과는 Ross 308과 Arbor Acres 품종에서 WB 발생률과 관리 전략에 대한 이해를 높이는데 기여하며, 더 나아가 가금산업에서 WB를 줄이기 위한 유전적 선발 및 사육 관리 기법 개발에 중요한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 본 연구에서는 MyotonPRO® 장비의 효율성과 한계에 대한 평가도 포함되어 있으므로 향후 연구에서는 이 장비의 활용성을 더욱 개선할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 데 기여하고자 한다.

  • 본 연구에서는 울릉도 태하령의 섬잣나무-솔송나무림에서 10개의 영구방형구($10m{\times}10m$) 및 30개의 소방 형구($1m{\times}3m$)를 설치하여 임분구조, 식생조성 및 종다양성을 밝히며 종다양성 모형을 수립하였다. 섬잣나무-솔송나무 임분의 광량은 평균 $3.7mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$, 수관 열림도는 평균 8.6 %로 분석되었다. Mantel 검정 결과, 임분 상층의 구조가 장기적으로 지속되기 어려울 것으로 나타났다. 하층식생의 조성은 지상부의 구조 및 토양 나출도와 유의한 상관을 나타내었다. 중회귀분석을 통한 종다양성 모형에서 섬잣나무의 양적 요인(단면적 및 밀도) 및 숲 바닥 조건이 유의한 예측변수로 분석되었다. 섬잣나무-솔송나무림의 유지에는 비교적 큰 규모의 교란이 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 종다양성을 유지하기 위해서는 여우꼬리사초 및 큰두루미꽃과 같은 단일 군반을 형성하는 교란지 종의 확장을 제어하는 것이 필요하다.

  • We selected 6 plots ($100m^2$) located 2.2-3.8 km from Minamidake Crater on the north flank of Sakurajima Volcano. We conducted a field study to investigate the effects of volcanic activity on vegetation succession and surface erosion rate. The results showed that trees growing in plots further from the crater had a greater diameter at breast height (DBH), total height, and age. In addition, these plots had a greater number of woody plants and species, as well as a greater total cross-sectional area at breast height. The Fisher-Williams index of diversity (${\alpha}$) and the proportion of evergreen broad-leaved trees were higher in plots located further from the crater. Vegetation succession in these plots was not at the level of a climax forest. From 1972 to 2015, the timing for active volcano, the depth of volcanic ash layer, the dry density, and the pH of ground surface were lower for plots located further from the crater. Furthermore, the average annual sheet erosion from 1972 to 2015 was also lower for plots located further away from the crater. Overall, plots further away from the crater have a better environment for vegetation growth and a lower dry density of the volcanic ash surface layer. It is thought that lower dry density results in increased soil permeability, which impedes surface flow. In order to prevent debris-flow disasters, caused by mud and rock flow resulting from impaired soil penetrability, it is essential to promote soil development and restore penetrability by artificial vegetation restoration.

  • This study aims to investigate the characteristics of the vegetation structure in the sectin stretching between the Jilmoi wetlands and the Donghae Observatory and to set the criteria for the basic data for a management plan including restoration afterwards. 12 plots($10m{\times}40m$, $20m{\times}20m$) were set up to analyse the vegetation structure. The analysis of the classification by TWINSPAN and ordination by DCA, importance percentage and property, distribution of diameter of breast height, growth increments of major woody species, species diversity and the physicochemical properties of soil were all analyzed. Vegetation classes were divided into 3 communities, which are community I (Pinus densiflora community), community II (Quercus mongolica community) and community III (Quercus mongolica-Tilia amurensis community). The P. densiflora community declined when competing with Q. mongolica and Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Q. mongolica competed with T. amurensis on an understory layer in Q. mongolica community. Q. mongolica competed with T. amurensis on both canopy and understory layers in Q. mongolica-T. amurensis community. P. densiflora declined and it was assumed to succeed to F. rhynchophylla or T. amurensis through Q. mongolica based on the importance percentage and distribution of the diameter of the breast height of small and middle sized trees. The age of P. densiflora was between 47 to 51 years old and Q. mongolica was 61years old. T. amurensis was 61 years old and the growth of Q. mongolica slowed a little. As the result of Shannon's index of species diversity, community I ranged from 0.9578 to 1.1862, community II ranged from 0.7904 to 1.2286 and community III ranged from 0.8701 to 1.0323. The contents of organic matter and cation were low compared to uncultivated mountain soil and it were analysed to be inappropriate for tree growth.
