Background : Acer pictum is a deciduous tree belonging to the family Aceraceae. This study was conducted to collect basic data on mass propagation techniques by surveying the germination and growth characteristics of A. pictum seeds. Methods and Results : A. pictum seeds were harvested in 2014 on August 19, September 5, September 29 and October 31. The seeds were then sown on the same dates they were harvested. A portion of seeds harvested in August 2014 were stored at low temperatures and subsequently sown on March 11, 2015. The germination rate of A. pictum seeds was highest in seeds that were stored harvested on October 31. Mean germination time (MGT) was shortest and germination velocity (Rs) was fastest in seeds harvested on October 31. Root collar diameter, total root length, and dry weight were also highest from seeds collected October 31. Conclusions : A. pictum seeds harvested on October 31 had highest germination and growth rates compared with seeds harvested on earlier dates. It is expected that these results demonstrating optimum harvesting and sowing dates will be applicable to future seedling production for this tree species.

Background : Aruncus dioicus var. kamtschaticus, functional wild vegetable, is perennial herb and young leaves with soft texture are generally used as edible food. So the demand for the vegetable has increased recently. This study was carried out to determine the effects of temperature and shading on germination characteristics of A. dioicus. Methods and Results : The experiment was performed by temperature and shading treatments. Seed pre-treatment before the germination experiment was carried out by the storage in low temperature (4℃) under wet condition (LTW) for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days and shading treatment were 35%, 50%, and 75% under control, BA (6-benzyladenine) and GA3 (gibberellic acid) condition for 24 hours. Increasing the length of the storage periods led to increases seed germination percent in low temperature (4℃) under wet condition (LTW), germination rate of A. dioicus seed was the highest at 15℃ with 60 days of seed pre-treatment. In the case of seeds pre-treatment with LTW, the more temperature went up, the more days to 50% of Germination of Final Germination Rate (T50) went down. As a result of surveying shading treatment, germination rate was the highest in control of 35% shading and the next higher was in control of 50% shading. Conclusions : It is concluded that the temperature and shading are important factors to produce A. dioicus. Also, We suggest these results as basic data of A. dioicus for sexual propagation.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of light controls and leaf mold on root growth and physiological responses of Atractylodes japonica growing in forest farming. The experiment was performed by light controls (100%, 62.5%, 40.3% and 19.7% of full sunlight) and application of leaf mold to soil. Height, stem diameter, number of flower buds and root collar diameter were the highest in leaf mold within 62.5% of full sunlight (relative light intensity 62.5%). And these were the higher in leaf mold within each light level. As the shading level increased, light saturation point and maximum photosynthesis rate decreased. As the light level decreased, SPAD value increased in control and leaf mold. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, A. japonica was judged worse root growth under the lower light level. It was concluded that the light level was one of the most important factors to produce A. japonica. Also, producing high-quality of A. japonica with the price competitiveness by using leaf mold like the experiment can be an effective way to increase incomes for farmers.

울릉분지와 후포분지의 퇴적물 코어 시료(각 분지에서 하나씩 03GHP-02와 HB13-2)를 대상으 로 광물학적 연구를 수행하였다. 광물조성, 점토광물 성분, 그리고 총 인 성분 및 인의 연속추출법 연 구 결과, 두 시료들은 각 값에 대하여 또한 깊이에 따라 어느 정도 차이가 있음을 보이고 있다. 두 시 료 모두 광물 종에는 차이를 보이지 않았으며 주로 석영, 미사장성, 장석, 방해석, 오팔A, 황철석, 그 리고 점토광물(일라이트, 녹니석, 카올리나이트, 스멕타이트)로 구성되어 있었다. 후포분지의 경우 울 릉분지에 비하여 오팔A 함량이 훨씬 많은 것으로 나타났다. 두 시료 모두, 특히 후포분지 시료에서 기존에 동해에서 보고된 것보다 더 많은 스멕타이트가 동정되었는데 이는 고황하강의 영향과 한반도 의 제3기 지층 암석에 영향을 받은 것으로 사료된다. 울릉분지 시료의 경우 약 0.7-3.5 m 깊이에 오팔 A의 함량 감소 그리고 일라이트 결정도 지수도 낮게 나오며 이는 빙하시대의 추운 기후에 해당된다. 이 깊이의 시료에서는 인의 함량도 상대적으로 낮게 나오고 있다. 이는 이 기간 동안 동해는 해수면의 하강으로 외부 해역과 단절되었고 해협 및 하천을 통한 퇴적물의 유입도 적었기 때문으로 판단된다. 후포분지 시료의 경우 울릉분지에 비하여 깊이에 따른 점토광물 변화와 인의 성분 변화는 크게 관찰 되지 않는다. 이러한 경향은 울릉분지에 비하여 비교적 짧은 기간에 퇴적되었거나 퇴적환경의 변화가 별로 없는 환경에서 퇴적되었기 때문으로 해석된다. 점토광물의 결정도 지수는 울릉분지에 비하여 약 간 높아 퇴적되었을 당시 비교적 온난한 환경이었을 것으로 추측되며 인의 연구 결과로 미루어 볼 때 비록 어느 정도 변화는 있지만 또한 온난한 환경을 지시한다.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the photosynthesis response and leaf characteristics of Peucedanum japonicum growing in forest farming. The experiment was performed by leaf mold (pine tree and chestnut tree) and shading levels (0%, 35%, 50% and 75% shading). Light relative intensity was 100% (full sunlight), 60.3% (35% shading), 35.1% (50% shading), and 17.4% (75% shading) respectively. Light response curves of pine-leaf mold and chestnut-leaf mold were the highest in control (full sunlight) and these were getting lower in the higher shading level. Photosynthesis capacity and light saturation point were indicated higher in chestnut-leaf mold within the same shading level. As the shading level increased, maximum photosynthesis rate decreased. And apparent quantum yield was not indicated statistically significant difference from all treatment. Leaf area, leaf length and leaf width were significant higher in 35% shading and control under chestnut-leaf mold in all treatment. As the shading level increased, LAR (leaf area ratio), SLA (specific leaf area) and SPAD value decreased in pine-leaf mold and chestnut-leaf mold. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, P. japonicum is judged better growth and higher yield by maintaining 35% shading (relative light intensity 60%) under chestnut-leaf mold in forest farming.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the early growth and root development characteristics of Peucedanum japonicum container seedlings. The experiment was performed by containers (128 and 200 cavities containers) and shading levels (0%, 35%, 50% and 75% shading). Germination rate of P. japonicum seeds was getting higher in the lower shading level and the highest in the full sunlight (71.9%). Plant height was the highest under 50% shading of all containers. Fresh weight and dry weight of the shoot (leaves + stem) were the highest under 50% shading of all containers, too. Meanwhile, fresh weight and dry weight of the root per plant were the highest under the full sunlight of 128 cavities container such as 0.34 g and 0.03 g, respectively. Total root length, root project area and root surface area were higher under the full sunlight of 128 cavities container such as 234.5 cm, 6.6cm2 and 20.8cm2, respectively and the next higher was under 35% shading such as 201.7 cm, 5.9cm2 and 18.4cm2, respectively. A case of root volume was the highest with 0.15cm3 under the full sunlight. As a result of the surveying the whole experiment, it is concluded that the shoot and root of P. japonicum seedling grow nicely by maintaining 35% shading.

동해 후포분지의 고환경을 규명하기 위해 HB 13-2 코어를 대상으로 퇴적물의 입도 분석 및 XRD, XRF를 통한 광물 분석을 실시하였다. HB 13-2 코어 퇴적물은 0.4 mbsf를 기준으로 엽리가 미약하고 생교란작용이 나타나는 퇴적상과 생교란작용이 하부로 갈수록 강해지는 두 개의 퇴적상으로 구분된다. 0-0.82 mbsf 구간에서의 비응집성 실트(sortable silt) 함량의 갑작스러운 증가와 상부층준에서의 민감입도 요소의 변화는 대마난류의 영향이 증가하였음을 보여준다. 퇴적물의 주 구성광물은 석영, 미사장석, 정장석, 알바이트와 더불어 녹니석, 캐올리나이트, 일라이트와 같은 점토광물이 포함되어 있으며 이들은 시료의 깊이 및 입도와 크게 연관성이 없는 것으로 나타나는데 이는 코아시료의 퇴적기간 동안 수문학적 변화는 크지 않았음을 시사한다. 1.4 mbsf부터 점토광물의 결정도가 감소하고 S/I 피크가 증가하는 현상은 온난다습한 기후의 영향으로 판단된다.

This study was carried out to produce more Parasenecio firmus in forest farming. In order to achieve thispurpose, it was surveyed the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of P. firmus. Relatively light intensity was controlledby 100%, 60%, 30% and 5% of full sunlight. Height was the highest under 5% of full sunlight. Shoot diameter was the high-est in full sunlight. Fresh weight (leaf, stem, root and total) and dry weight (leaf, root and total) were the highest under 30%of full sunlight. S (leaf+stem)/R (root) ratio was the lowest under 30% of full sunlight and the highest under 5% of full sun-light. In leaf characteristics, leaf area, SLA and LAR were getting higher in the lower light level and the highest under 5% offull sunlight (176.1㎠, 420.5㎠•g−1 and 123.5㎠•g−1). Especially, leaf area was surveyed higher under 30% of full sunlightin the next. Leaf thickness was getting lower in the lower light level and the lowest under 5% of full sunlight (overall0.14~0.24㎜). As a result of surveying the whole experiment, P. firmus grows well under 30% and 5% of full sunlight inforest farming.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the early growth and root development characteristics ofAtractylodes japonica container seedling. Experiment was performed by light intensity (100%, 60%, 25% and 10% of fullsunlight). Height was surveyed well under 25% of full sunlight (overall 11.013.0%). Root collar diameter was the highest inthe full sunlight (7.52㎜). It was the highest fresh weight (1.52g, 0.92g, 0.90g and 3.34g) under 25% of full sunlight, rootdry weight was getting higher in the higher light level and the highest in the full sunlight (0.13g). Total root length, rootproject area, root surface area and root volume were the highest under 25% of full sunlight (434.7㎝, 17.4㎠, 54.7㎠,0.55㎤, respectively) and the lowest under 10% of full sunlight. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, A. japonica isjudged nicely by maintaining 25% of full sunlight, excepting 10% of full sunlight. And light levels during the early growthare overly important to improve early growth.

This study was carried out in order to examine the germination characteristics of Atractylodes japonica seeds, and it was to develop the more efficient pre-treatment and production system of the seeds. Experiment was performed by two ways-temperature control (10, 15, 20, 25℃) and shading treatment (full sunlight, 35, 50, 75, 95% of full sunlight). Seed pre-treatment before the each experiment was carried out by temperature (with low temperature and wetting treatment (LTW) for 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 days) and shading treatment (with drying at room temperature (DRT), drying at low temperature (DLT) and water soaking (WS) for 48 hours). Seeds of A. japonica were germinated well under temperature control (overall 85.3~100%), especially high temperature. And, the seeds pre-treated with LTW for 45 days germinated with a 100% success rate. Under the surveying shading treatment, the highest germination rate was 95.8% with DRT and overall 63.2~95.8%. Germination rate under seeds with WS was 63.2~7.8%. As a result of surveying the whole experiment, A. japonica seeds don't need to pre-treat cause of high germination, but if it is performed with LTW for a certain period of time, it would be more productive.

독도로부터의 거리 및 수심에 따라 채취된 표층 퇴적물에 대하여 입도분석, 광물분석, 유기물 분석 및 미화석 분석 결과를 이용하여 독도 인근 해저의 퇴적 기작 및 유기 퇴적물의 분포를 규명하였다. 독도 인근 해저 퇴적물은 자갈 및 사질이 우세하며, 끌림에 의한 퇴적 작용이 주를 이루는 반면에 독도와 거리가 멀어짐에 따라 실트와 머드의 비율이 증가하며 점토광물과 장석 등의 광물 성분의 변화를 보이고 뜬짐에 의한 퇴적이 우세해지는 경향을 보인다. 퇴적물에 포함된 유기 퇴적물의 군집 조성 또한 큰 변화를 보이는데, 연안 퇴적물에서는 해양 기원의 유기 퇴적물이, 심해 퇴적물에서는 육상 기원의 유기 퇴적물이 우점한다. 이러한 유기 퇴적물의 군집 변화는 퇴적물의 입도에 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 밝혀졌으며 유기 퇴적물중 높은 화분 농집도는 심해 퇴적물의 유기탄소 함량을 증가시키는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다.
