This study was conducted to explore the effects of seeding rate of a seed mixture on grassland productivity and botanical composition. Seeding rates were composed of four different treatments varying by the amount of seed: T1, 50% decrease in seeding rate from standard; T2, standard seeding rate; T3, 50% increase in seeding rate from standard; and T4, 100% increase in seeding rate from standard. In 2016, seasonal changes in grass botanical composition revealed T2, T3, and T4 in portion of grass ratio were the highest with a range of 87–100%, whereas T1 was the lowest of all treatments. In 2017, the botanical composition in T1 showed that the grass ratio in of the first cutting was 91%, but in the fourth cutting its ratio decreased by 75%. The results from both years were combined for each treatment, T4 (11,435 kg ha-1) and T3 (11,162 kg ha-1) demonstrated the highest dry matter yield of the treatments (T1: 8,196 kg ha-1; T2: 9,521 kg ha-1) (p＜0.05). As a result, a 50–100% increase in the seeding rate from the standard demonstrated the best grassland yield and botanical composition.

As buildings are becoming larger, demand for mega-sized composite columns (over 1-meter diameter) is increased. We have developed and commercialized welded built-up CFT column (ACT Column I) since 2005 which are structurally stable and economical using cold-formed steel with rib. However, there has a limit in size of cross section (618˟618mm) by a fabrication facilities. And due to characteristics of closed cross section, there has a limit to construction of connection of moment frame. Composite mega column (ACT Column II) has same concept of forming closed cross section. But in order to enlarge cross sectional size, thick plate is inserted between cold-formed steels. Since composite mega column can control thickness and width of thick plate, steel or composite beams can be directly attached to the connection. In this study, we propose strength formula of composite mega column to beam connections with T-shaped stiffener as internal diaphragm and verified through finite element analysis and simple tensile experiment.

목적 : 뇌졸중 이후 우세손이 마비된 경우 기능회복 정도가 비우세손의 손상보다 더 높을 것이라는 관측이 존재하지만 이에 대한 국내 연구 자료는 부족하기 때문에 후향적 코호트 조사를 통해 우세손의 마비 유무에 따른 기능회복의 변화를 조사함으로써 작업치료 중재전략에 응용할 수 있는 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 5개 의료기관에서 1차 대상자(n=205)를 모집한 후 일반적 특성 및 뇌졸중 관련 특성, 적용된 평가도구 등을 조사하고 발병일에서 초기평가일까지의 기간이 6개월 이내인 2차 대상자(n=122)를 선별하여 평가기록 자료를 수집하였다. 적용된 평가도구에 대한 빈도분석을 통하여 6개의 평가도구를 선정하였다(Modified Barthel Index; MBI, Maunual Function Test; MFT, Hand Strength Test; HST, Nine-Hole Pegboard test; NHP, Functional Independence Measure; FIM, Box and Block Test; BBT). 평가기록은 평가기간(초기, 3개월 후, 6개월 후)에 따라 자료를 수집한 후 통계학적 분석을 실시하였다. 결과 : HST, NHP, BBT에서 우세손 마비 유무에 따른 차이가 있었고(p<.001), MBI는 평가기간에 따른 차이만(p<.05) 보였으며 우세손 마비유무와 평가기간의 상호작용효과는 존재하지 않았다(p>.05). 우세손 마비 환자의 HST(lateral pinch, palmar pinch)와 BBT의 변화량은 비우세손 마비 환자보다 유의한 차이(p<.05)로 더 높았지만 그 외 평가결과에서는 통계학적 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>.05). 결론 : 본 연구를 통해 추후 뇌졸중으로 인한 편마비 환자의 다양한 작업치료 중재전략에 응용할 수 있을 것이라고 희망한다.

In order to encourage collaboration with North Korea in astronomy research field, we have studied the astronomical almanacs published in South and North Korea. The almanac contains fundamental astronomical data including not only daily calendar data but also unique characteristics selected by necessity in each country. We compared the South and North Korean astronomical almanacs in terms of contents, detailed descriptions, unique items, and so forth. We used the 2017 almanac for South Korea and 1993 almanac which is useful for this research for North Korea. We found that there were several differences between South and North Korean almanacs. The North Korean almanac is published for the astronomer or navigator, thus it has supplementary information about spherical astronomy such as precession of the north pole and position of celestial bodies. Whereas the South Korean almanac is published for the general public, and it distinctively contains luni-solar calendar, 24 solar terms, national holidays, etc. This study could be helpful for research cooperation between South and North Korea in astronomy.

Polysulfone 수지를 사용한 그래핀 복합조성물을 제조하고, 이것들의 멤브레인에 대한 잔류응력과 열전도 특성을 분석하였다. 그래핀을 포함하는 polysulfone 멤브레인의 잔류응력분석은 Si (100) 기판에 스핀코팅으로 10 μm 두께의 막을 도포하여 준비한 시료를 대상으로 하였으며, 잔류응력의 측정은 온도를 승온하고 냉각하는 완전한 1주기 동안 수행하였다. 그래핀을 포함하는 polysulfone 평막을 증류수를 사용한 상전이법으로 제조하여 두께방향과 면방향으로 열전도도를 구분하여 각각 측정하였으며 평막시료의 열전도 이방성을 분석하였다. 그래핀의 구조적 특징에 의해 이를 포함하는 polysulfone 막의 잔류응력은 그래핀 함량이 증가함에 따라 점차로 완화되는 경향을 나타내었고, 열전도특성은 평막형성의 구조적 특성과 그래핀의 고유특성에 의해 두께방향과 면방향의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, we synthesize tungsten oxide thin films by electrodeposition and characterize their electrochromic properties. Depending on the deposition modes, compact and porous tungsten oxide films are fabricated on a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate. The morphology and crystal structure of the electrodeposited tungsten oxide thin films are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is employed to verify the chemical composition and the oxidation state of the films. Compared to the compact tungsten oxides, the porous films show superior electrochemical activities with higher reversibility during electrochemical reactions. Furthermore, they exhibit very high color contrast (97.0%) and switching speed (3.1 and 3.2 s). The outstanding electrochromic performances of the porous tungsten oxide thin films are mainly attributed to the porous structure, which facilitates ion intercalation/deintercalation during electrochemical reactions.

Background: The continuous co-contraction of the trunk muscles through trunk stabilization exercises is important to patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). However, intentional abdominal muscle contraction (IAMC) for trunk stabilization has been used only for specific training in the treatment room. Objects: The purpose of this study was to provide feedback to adults with LSS to enable IAMC during activities of daily living (ADLs). Methods: The participants with spinal stenosis were divided into an experimental group of 15 adults and a control group of 16 adults. Electromyographic signals were measured while the subjects kept their both hands held up at 90°. The measured muscles were the rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and erector spinae (ES). Pelvic tilt was measured using a digital pelvic inclinometer. The degree of pain was measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and functional capacity was measured using the Korean version of the Oswestry disability index (KODI). Results: While the experimental group showed statistically significantly higher activities in the RA, EO, and IO after the intervention compared with the control group. Pelvic tilt was significantly decreased only in the experimental group. Both the experimental and control groups exhibited statistically significant declines in the VAS and KODI (p<.01). In terms of the levels of changes, the experimental group exhibited a statistically significant larger decline only in the VAS and the pelvic tilt when compared with the control group (p<.05). Conclusions: The subjects could stabilize their trunks, and relieve their pain and dysfunctions and reduce pelvic tilt by learning abdominal muscle contraction during ADLs.

PURPOSES: This study determined the optimal usage rate of RAP (reclaimed asphalt pavement) using cold central-plant recycling (CCPR) on a road-surface layer. In addition, a mixture-aggregate gradation design and a curing method based on the proposed rate for the surface-layer mix design were proposed. METHODS: First, current research trends were investigated by analyzing the optimum moisture content, mix design, and quality standards for surface layers in Korea and abroad. To analyze the aggregate characteristics of the RAP, its aggregate-size characteristics were analyzed through the combustion asphalt content test and the aggregate sieve analysis test. Moreover, aggregate-segregation experiments were performed to examine the possibility of RAP aggregate segregation from field compaction and vehicle traffic. After confirming the RAP quality standards, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate, aggregate-gradation design and quality tests were conducted for mixtures with 40% and 50% RAP usage. The optimum moisture content of the surface-layer mixture containing RAP was tested, as was the evapotranspiration effect on the surface-layer mixture of the optimum moisture content. RESULTS: After analyzing the RAP recycled aggregate size and extraction aggregate size, 13-8mm aggregate was found to be mostly 8mm aggregate after combustion. After using surface-chipping and mixing methods to examine the possibility of RAP aggregate segregation, it was found that the mixing method contributed very little for 3.32%, and because the surface-chipping method applied compaction energy directly as the maximum assumption the separation ratio was 15.46%. However, the composite aggregate gradation did not change. Using a 40% RAP aggregate rate on the surface-layer mixture for cold central-plant recycling satisfied the Abroad quality standard. The optimum moisture content of the surface-layer mixture was found to be 7.9% using the modified Marshall compaction test. It was found that the mixture was over 90% cured after curing at 60℃ for two days. CONCLUSIONS : To use the cold central-plant recycling mixture on a road-surface layer, a mixture-aggregate gradation design was proposed as the RAP recycled aggregate size without considering aggregate segregation, and the RAP optimal usage rate was 40%. In addition, the modified Marshall compaction test was used to determine the optimum moisture content as a mix-design parameter, and the curing method was adapted using the method recommended by Asphalt Recycling & Reclaiming Association (ARRA).

본 연구는 아스파라거스의 모의 수출 온도 조건에서 예냉 처리 및 MA 포장이 생체중 감소 및 색 변화와 같은 품질 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 예냉 처리는 공랭식, 수랭식, 그리고 대조구인 예냉 무처리를 두었다. MA 포장은 산소투과도가 10,000cc·m-2 ·day-1·atm-1 OTR 필름을 사용하였고 유공 필름(관행 처 리)으로 포장한 대조구를 두었다. 모든 처리는 양구에서 일본의 시모노세키까지 수출 시 모의 유통 온도 조건을 적용하여 8oC에서 20시간 처리 후 저장 종료일까지 4oC 로 두었다. 아스파라거스의 예냉은 수랭식에서 빠르게 진행되었는데, 반 냉각 시간은 공랭식에서 12분, 수랭식 에서 15초였다. 예냉 처리 후 호흡률과 에틸렌 발생률은 수랭식에서 가장 낮았다. 저장 중 생체중 감소율은 관행 저장 예냉 무처리에서 약 11%로 가장 높았고, MA 포 장에서는 모든 처리가 0.5% 미만이었다. 포장 내 이산 화탄소와 산소 농도는 공랭식과 수랭식에서 아스파라거 스의 적정 CA/MA 조건을 유지하였다. 필름 포장 내 에 틸렌 농도는 예냉 처리에서 낮았다. 줄기의 경도는 MA 포장의 수랭식에서 가장 낮았다. 외관상 품질, 이취, 그 리고 hue angle 값은 MA 포장의 수랭식에서 가장 우수 하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 수랭식 및 MA 포장의 복합 처리는 수출 유통 과정에서 품질 유지에 효과가 있을 것 으로 기대된다.

There are various manufacturing processes for pure SiO2 that is used as abrasives, chemicals, filters, and glasses, and in metallurgy and optical industries. In the optical fiber industry, to produce SiO2 preform, SiCl4 is utilized as a raw material. However, the combustion reaction of SiCl4 has caused critical environmental issues, such as ozone deficiency by chlorine compounds, the greenhouse effect by carbon dioxide and corrosive gas such as hydrochloric acid. Thus, finding an alternative source that does not have those environmental issues is important for the future. Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS or D4) as a chlorine free source is recently promising candidate for the SiO2 preform formation. In this study, we first conducted a vaporizer design to vaporize the OMCTS. The vaporizer for the OMCTS vaporization was produced on the basis of the results of the vaporizer design. The size of the primary particle of the SiO2 formed by OMCTS was less than 100 nm. X-ray diffraction patterns of the SiO2 indicated an amorphous phase. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed the Si-O-Si bond without the -OH group.

수경재배에서는 근권내 양분의 집적 정도는 급액의 양과 밀접한 관계를 가지기 때문에 급액의 양(횟수)이 토마토의 생육과 수량에 미치는 영향이 크다. 따라서 본 시험에서는 코이어를 이용한 토마토 장기 수경재배에 급 액량이 근권의 무기이온에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 하였다. 적산일사량을 기준으로 급액량을 조절하였으며 생육시 기별로 적산일사량 설정치를 변경하며 급액량을 4수준으로 처리하였다. 처리별 매일의 급액량과 배액량을 조사하였고 배액율을 계산하였다. 급액량이 많을수록 토마토의 수분 흡수 량은 증가하는 경향이었다. 그러나 High 처리구는 2월과 3월에 Medium high 처리구에 비하여 수분 흡수가 감소 하였다. 월별 평균 급액량과 배액율을 계산하여 배액율이 20-30%되는 급액 구간으로 1월은 120-140J/cm2, 2월 은 100-120J/cm2, 3월은 80-100J/cm2, 4월은 70-90J/cm2, 5월은 60-75J/cm2로 적정한 범위를 정할 수 있었다. 급 액량이 많을수록 이온들의 농도가 낮아서 근권의 양분집 적을 상당 부분 방지할 수 있었는데 양분을 흡착하는 코이어 배지의 특성 때문에 배액율이 20-30%인 경우 근 권의 무기이온의 농도는 상당히 높았다. 그런데 P와 K는 처리에 관계없이 배액에서 급액농도 보다 낮아지는 경우가 발생하였으며, 급액량이 많은 처리에서도 Mg와 S가 가장 잘 집적되는 이온이었다. 일사 량이 적은 시기에는 급액량에 따른 배액내 무기이온의 농도는 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, 일사량이 많은 시기에는 급액량이 적을수록 배액의 무기이온의 농도가 높았다. 특히, 3월 이후에는 급액량 조정만으로는 배액의 이온농도 상승을 방지하기 어려워 우선적으로 급액 EC 를 낮춰 근권에 양분이 집적되는 것을 막을 필요가 있었다.

Importance of climate change and its impact on agriculture and environment has increased with the rise in the levels of Green House Gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. To slow down the speed of climate change, numerous efforts have been applied in industrial sectors to reduce GHGs emission and to enhance carbon storage. In the agricultural sector, several types of research have been performed with emphasis on GHGs emission reduction; however, only a few work has been done in understanding the role of carbon sink on reduction in GHGs emission. In this study, we investigated ecosystem carbon balance and soil carbon storage in an agricultural paddy field. The results obtained were as follows: 1) Evaluation of soil C sequestration in paddy field was average 3.88 Mg CO2 ha-1 following NPK+rice straw compost treatment, average 3.22 Mg C ha-1 following NPK+hairy vetch treatment, and average 1.97 Mg CO2 ha-1 following NPK treatment; and 2) Net ecosystem production (NEP) during the paddy growing season was average 14.01 Mg C ha-1 following NPK+hairy vetch treatment, average 12.60 Mg CO2 ha-1 following NPK+rice straw compost treatment, and average 11.31 Mg CO2 ha-1 following NPK treatment. Therefore, it is proposed that organic matter treatment can lead to an increase in soil organic carbon accumulation and carbon sock of crop ecosystem in fields compared to chemical fertilizers.

The need for an efficient sampling technique to collect aquatic organisms has risen with the increase of interest in rice paddy fields, which have been recognized as important ecosystems supporting biodiversity. In the present study, a submerged funnel trap used with the assistance of attracting agents (fish meal and chemical light) was designed as an easy, objective and quantitative tool for collecting aquatic organisms in the rice paddy fields. The preference for collecting aquatic organisms as a means for attracting agents was analyzed using a generalized linear mixed model. Also, based on the data of previous research, we compared the community composition of the aquatic macroinvertebrates, which were collected using the quadrat method, and newly designed submerged funnel traps, by analyzing non-metric multidimensional scaling. The results showed that the catching efficiency of 18 of the total 65 taxa was affected by the attracting agents. 12 taxa including Pomacea canaliculata, Hippeutis cantori, Austropeplea ollula, Erpobdella lineata, Ostracoda spp. Branchinella kugenumaensis, Hydaticus grammicus, Rhantus pulverosus, Chironomidae spp., Rana nigromaculata, Cobitidae spp. etc., favored fish meal and 6 taxa including Ischnura asiatica, Coenagrionidae spp. Sternolophus rufipes etc., were attracted by chemical light. The submerged funnel trap used as a measurement tool for biodiversity was less applicable than the quadrat method; however, it was more effective for the selective collection of specific taxa. We expect that this newly designed trap can be a simple and quantitative method for collecting aquatic organisms, and could be used for long term and extensive surveys in rice paddy fields in the future.

본 연구는 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물(LJF-HE)이 흰쥐모델 에서 스트레스로 유발되어지는 위염에 대한 억제효과를 확인하고자 하였다. 이때 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물(LJF-HE) 소재는 지표성분인 hamabiwalactone B의 함량이 15.23 ± 0.057 mg/g 로 규격에 적합한 것을 사용하였다, 동물실험에 있어 군분리는 정상군(normal), 양성 대조군(control, 수침 구속 스트레스 위염 유발), 약물 대조군(ranitidine, 50 mg/ kg), 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물 저농도 투여군(LJF-HE-L, 30 mg/kg), 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물 중농도 투여군(LJF-HEM, 60 mg/kg), 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물 고농도 투여군(LJFHE- H, 120 mg/kg)의 총 6군으로 구성하여 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물의 투여그룹(LJFHE- L, LJF-HE-M, LJF-HE-H)에서 염증의 길이가 control 그룹에 비하여 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였으며, 육안 병변 관찰에서도 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물(LJF-HE) 투여그룹에서의 위염증과 점막출혈 부위가 control 그룹에 비하여 감소하였음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 까마귀쪽나무열 매추출물(LJF-HE) 투여그룹에서의 펩신 활성도도 control 대비 유의성 있게 감소하는 것으로 나타나 까마귀쪽나무 열매추출물은 펩신 활성도를 낮춰 위염 발생을 억제하는 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물의 투여 그룹(LJF-HE-M, LJF-HE-H)에서 gastrin에 의해 활성화 되는 CCK-2r 유전자 발현이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 억제되는 것으로 나타났으며, 염증성 cytokine중에 하나인 IL-1β의 혈장 내 함량이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 감소 하였고, 세포보호물질로 점액 및 혈류량을 증가시켜 위점 막을 보호하는 역할을 하는 PGE2의 혈장 내 함량이 대조군에 비해 유의적으로 증가한 결과를 얻었다. 이와 같은 결과는 까마귀쪽나무열매추출물(LJF-HE)이 스트레스로 유발되어지는 위염에 대한 억제효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

최근 국내에서 육성된 딸기 신품종 ‘베리스타’와 ‘죽향’ 의 수경재배 시 생육 단계별 적정한 양액 농도가 품질과 생산성에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 연구를 수행하였다. 길이 40m, 폭 10m의 플라스틱 온실내에 높이 1m, 폭 33cm의 수경재배용 베드를 설치하고 원예용 상토를 충진한 후 ‘설향’, ‘베리스타’, ‘죽향’ 묘를 정식 하였다. 배양액은 네덜란드 PBG 배양액을 사용하였으며, 생육 단계를 생육초기-개화기-수확초기-수확후기로 나누어 처리 2는 ‘설향’ 기준 급액 농도 EC 0.68-1.0-1.2- 1.0dS·m-1, 처리 1은 30% 낮은 농도인 EC 0.68-0.8- 0.85-0.7dS·m-1, 처리 3은 30% 높은 농도인 EC 0.68- 1.2-1.55-1.3dS·m-1으로 급액 하였다. 재배기간 동안 딸기 품종별 생육과 수량 등을 조사하였다. ‘베리스타’는 2번 처리구와 3번 처리구 간의 지상부 생육에 차이가 없었으며, ‘베리스타’와 ‘죽향’ 모두 양액 농도가 높을수록 엽색이 짙었으나 양자 효율은 차이가 나지 않았다. ‘죽향’은 급액농도에 따라 3월 이후 생육 후기에 생육 차이가 뚜렷하였고, 3번 처리구에서 가장 생육이 왕성하였다. ‘베리스타’와 ‘죽향’ 모두 과중, 과장, 과폭 및 과실 경도 가 3번 처리구에서 유의하게 높은 값을 나타냈다. 수확과의 총 당 함량은 처리 간에 차이가 없었으나 환원당 과 비환원당의 조성 비율은 처리별로 다르게 나타났다. 수량을 조사한 결과, ‘베리스타’는 급액 농도가 높아질수록 수확과의 수가 많았으나 수량은 처리별로 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 반면, ‘죽향’은 급액농도 간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보였으며, 3번 처리구에서 가장 수확량이 많았다. 생육 특성과 과실 품질을 종합적으로 고려해 본 결과, ‘베리스타’는 ‘설향’ 표준 급액농도와 동일하게 EC 0.68- 1.0-1.2-1.0dS·m-1로 관리하는 것이 경제적이며, ‘죽향’은 ‘설향’ 기준 급액농도보다 30% 높은 EC 0.68-1.2-1.55- 1.3dS·m-1로 공급해 주는 것이 고품질의 과실을 많이 수확할 수 있는 방법으로 판단된다.

Understanding the need for temperature regulation, behavior, and ecology of hibernating bats provides the possibility of conservation and management for target species. Our objective in this study was to improve understanding of the population trend and ecological requirement in Myotis formosus population in South Korea. From 2007 to 2016, total of 58 hibernacula for Myotis formosus were found across the country. Of the 58 hibernating sites of Myotis formosus, 86% (n=49) were abandoned mines and 14% (n=8) were natural caves. During the survey period, 28 (5%) bats of total 570 bats were observed in natural caves (n=8) and 542 (95%) bats were observed in abandoned mines (n=49). The internal environments of hibernacula of M. formosus were highly stable despite dramatic variation in the external environment. Specifically, we examined the population trend of the endangered bat Myotis formosus in South Korea by long-term monitoring for hibernation sites. The population trend of endangered species M. formosus showed a marked stable in hibernating population. Our results indicate that a tightly collected long-term data set may help to establish the initial approximation of population trends and manage to threats for the endangered bat species.

Pine wilt disease (PWD) is one of the hazardous pine tree diseases in whole world. In Korea, PWD has been spreading since it was first observed in Busan in 1988. Dispersion of PWD is mainly mediated by its vectors such as Japanese pine sawyer. In this study, we characterized environmental condition including meteorological factors, geographical factors, and land use factors influencing on the occurrence of PWD. The occurrence data of PWD were collected at 153 sites where were the initial occurrence sites of PWD in local government regions such as city, Gun, or Gu scale. We used Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) to evaluate the relative importance of environmental variables on the discrimination of occurrence or absence of PWD. The results showed that altitude, slope, and distance to road were the most influential factors on the occurrence of PWD, followed by distance to building. Finally, our study presented that human activities highly influenced on the long term dispersal of PWD.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of addition of lactic acid bacteria inoculants on quality of rye silage harvested at early heading stage. The nutritive values in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculated group showed similar results to control. The pH of rye silage in LAB inoculation significantly decreased as compared to control (P<0.05). In addition, the content of lactic acid in LAB inoculation significantly increased (P<0.05), but the content of acetic acid in LAB treatments decreased. In addition, lactic acid bacterial counts in LAB inoculation significantly increased as compared to control (P<0.05). Therefore, we suggest that rye silage could be improved by LAB inoculation.

The present study was carried out to explore the potential effect of shading degrees on yields and nutritive values of forage in forest-grassland. This experiment was conducted this study under different natural shading at National Institute of Animal Science, Cheonan province in Korea, for 2 years (from 2015 to 2016). This experiment was consisted of four different shading degrees, such as full sunlight (control, 10% below), 25% of shading, 35% of shading, 50% of shading. Pasture species used in this study were orchardgrass ‘Kodiwin’, perenial ryegrass ‘Linn’, tall fescue ‘Purumi’, kentuky bluegrass ‘Kenblue’, and white clover ‘Ladino’. Botanical composition of orchardgrass was higher than that of perenial ryegrass, tall fescue and kentuky bluegrass. Dry matter (DM) yields of forage decreased as increasing shading degrees. DM yields of forage significantly decreased as increasing shading degrees and lots of cutting times under increasing shading degrees decreased DM yields of forage. The content of crude protein increased as increasing shading degrees and the contents of acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), the activity of total digestible nutrient (TDN) and in-vitro digestibility (IVD), and relative feed value (RFV) were similar in control and different shading. This study suggests that orchardgrass is major component for forest-grassland and establishment of orchardgrass can be improved by increasing shading degrees.
