최근 도시민들의 생활의 질이 향상됨에 따라 환경문제에 대한 관심이 증대되었다. 환경문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 도시녹지를 늘이고 있는 추세이다. 도심에서의 녹지는 다양한 형태로 경관개선, 환경오염 완화, 도시민들의 쉼터제공 등의 기능을 하며, 그중 도시공원은 많은 수목을 확보하고 있어 도시의 기후, 소음, 생물서식처 제공, 휴식처 제공 등의 역할을 하고 있다. 그러나 도시공원 조성 시 식재규모나 식재형태 설정 등의 식재개념이 불분명하고, 수목의 생태적 측면을 고려하지 않은 배식으로 녹지의 기능성이 떨어진다. 과거 가로수나 아파트를 대상으로 조경 수목의 생육환경을 고려한 적정 식재간격에 관한 연구는 다수 진행되어져 왔지만, 도시공원을 대상으로 한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 뿐만 아니라 대부분의 연구는 식재 초기에 있어 식재 간격 등 수형왜곡 요인을 사전에 고려한 사례가 대부분이었으며, 조성 이후 일정 생육기간경과에 따라 식재특성의 변화를 고려한 수목 관리기법에 대한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 대규모 공원의 재조성에 수목 관리기준을 마련하기 위하여 양재 시민의 숲을 대상으로 공원의 식재특성에 따라 수형왜곡의 요인을 분석하였다. 연구대상지인 양재 시민의 숲은 서울특별시 서초구 매헌로 99에 위치하고 있으며, 1986년 서울아시아경기대회와 1888년 올림픽경기를 위해 1983년에 양재 I.C주변에 조성된 공원이다. 면적은 257,000㎡이고 조성된 지 34년이 흘러 수목의 질적인 측면에서 양호하다. 또한, 야외예식장, 농구장, 배구장, 테니스장, 맨발공원 등의 운동시설과 윤봉길의사 상, 대한항공 위령탑, 유격백마부대충혼탑등이 있어 인근 주민들의 이용이 많은 공원이다. 식재수종은 소나무, 느티나무, 잣나무, 칠엽수 등 43여종 94,800주가 식재되어있으며, 특히, 잣나무가 조사면적의 21.2%를 차지하여 가장 많이 식재되어 있으며, 다음으로는 느티나무가 14.7%를 차지하고 있다. 공원 내 대표수종인 칠엽수(Aesculus turbinata), 잣나무(Pinus koraiensis), 느티나무(Zelkova serrata), 중국단풍나무(Acer buergerianum), 단풍나무(Acer palmatum) 5종을 선정하여 거리별 수목현황을 조사하였다. 측정항목으로는 광파기(Total station, DTM-322s, Nicon, Japan)를 이용하여 수목의 위치와 식재간격을 측정하였으며, 수목의 생육특성으로는 수고, 지하고, 수관폭, 흉고직경 등을 측정하였다. 또한 수목의 생육을 평가하기 위하여, 수형상태와 생육상태를 고려한 리커트 5점 척도를 활용하여 수목의 생육을 평가하고 분석에 활용하였다. 통계분석은 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 활용하여 분석하였다. 수관폭이 좁고 지하고가 낮은 수종을 밀식하여 수목의 수형과 생육이 불량한 곳이 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 수종별 세부 분석 결과, 칠엽수의 경우 식재간격이 좁은 곳의 평균 거리는 1.34m, 넓은 곳의 평균 거리는 5.73m로 분석되었으며, 식재간격이 좁은 곳의 수형과 생육은 평균 3점으로 수형의 변형이 있고 일부 광피압에 의한 수관변형이 나타났다. 반면 식재간격이 넓은 수목들은 평균 5점으로 양호한 상태로 분석되었다. 단풍나무의 경우 평균 재식거리는 좁은 곳 2.74m, 넓은 곳 6.88m로 나타났으며 식재간격이 넓을수록 수관폭이 증가하는 경향으로 나타났다. 잣나무의 경우 평균 재식거리 좁은 곳 1.32m, 먼 곳 7.84m로 차폐를 위해 다른 수종들보다 식재간격이 더 좁은 것으로 판단된다. 식재간격이 좁은 곳의 수형이 평균 2점으로 수관의 변형에 식재거리의 영향이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 느티나무는 재식거리가 넓을수록 관상가치가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 평균재식거리는 좁은 곳 3.28m, 넓은 곳 6.04m였다. 중국단풍나무의 경우 식재거리가 좁은 곳은 2.87m, 넓은 곳은 6.58m로 나타났으나 다른 수종과 달리 식재거리가 좁은 곳과 넓은 곳 수목의 수고, 수형, 생육 등의 차이가 크지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 통계분석결과 식재간격과 수형, 생육 점수간의 통계적으로 유의한 정의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 수형의 경우, 수고, 수관폭, 흉고와 정의 상관 관계인 것으로 분석되어, 향후 공원 재조성에 있어 현재 식재되어 있는 수목의 규격을 고려한 솎아베기를 실시해야 할 것으로 판단되었으며, 식재밀도가 높은 지역에 대하여 적정한 조취가 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

This experiment was carried out to compare the growth characteristics and productivity between sudangrass and sorghum-sudangrass hybrid under the same cultivation condition in Cheonan and Kimje of Korea from 2010 to 2011. Sudangrass hybrids(Choice, Sunstar and Piper) and sorghum-sudangrass hybrids(SX-17, Jumbo and Revolution) were planted 5th May in Cheonan and 7th May in Kimje. Heading date of sudangrass hybrids was 12th July which was about 2 week fast more than that of sorghum-sudangrass hybrids. Stem diameter of sudangrass hybrids was about 6mm which was about 5 mm smaller than that of sorghum-sudangrass hybrids. Disease resistance of sudangrass hybrid, “Choice” was similar to that of sorghum-sudangrass hybrids. Dry matter yield of “Choice” was 15ton/ha which was 10% less than that for sorghum-sudangrass hybrids(SX-17). Feed value of “Choice” was similar or slightly lower than that of sorghum-sudangrass. For increasing the productivity in forage cropping systems all around year, sudangrass hybrid is recommended for prolong by the middle ten day of May in the harvesting time of italian ryegrass

This experiment was carried out to study the effect of rice black-streaked dwarf virus(RBSDV) infection rate on forage productivity of corn varieties in Cheonan of chungcheongnamdo from 2006 to 2008. Forage corn varieties of 10 were cultivated with first cropping(seeding in the last ten days of April) and second cropping(seeding in the last ten days of May) system in field and tested the infection rates of RBSDV and productivity of forage. The Infection rate of RBSDV was significant difference between corn varieties in middle district of Korea. Resistant corn varieties for RBSDV were ‘Kwanganok’, ‘P3156’, ‘Kwangpeyongok’ and ‘P3394’ but susceptible varieties were ‘Suwon19’, ‘DK697’, ‘GW6959’ and NC+7117. Dry matter(DM) yield of forage corn according with infection rates of RBSDV in field was significant difference between varieties(p<0.05). DM yield of susceptible varieties, ‘Suwon 19’, ‘DK697’ and ‘GW6959’ was lower about 20% than that of resistant varieties, ‘Kwangpeyongok’ and ‘P3156’. For increasing the productivity of forage corn, recommend of resistant varieties for RBSDV and control of seeding time are very important in middle district of Korea.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of harvesting time of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam; IRG) in spring on dry matter (DM) yield. IRG cultivars ‘Kowinearly’ and ‘Greenfarm’ were seeded at 50 kg/ha and grown on rice paddy fields. There was no difference in growth characteristics between both varieties before winter. However, cold tolerance of Kowinearly was higher than that of Greenfarm, as demonstrated by post-wintering growth characteristics. The heading date of both varieties was affected by the spring weather. The IRG was harvested three times at 5-day intervals beginning from 9 May. The DM yield of Greenfarm was 6,306; 7,335; and 8,109 kg/ha, and that of Kowinearly was 7,498; 9,196; and 10,449 kg/ha at the three consecutive harvests. The delay of the harvesting time for 5 and 10 days increased the DM yield of Greenfarm by 16% and 29% and that of Kowinearly by 23% and 39%, respectively, compared to the yield at first harvest (p < 0.05). Therefore, IRG harvest later than early to mid-May is expected to increase productivity. The feed values of Greenfarm were: 12.2% of crude protein (CP), 34.5% of acid detergent fiber (ADF), 57.7% of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 61.6% of total digestible nutrients (TDN), and 72.3% of in vitro DM digestibility (IVDMD). For Kowinearly, these values were 16.4% of CP, 30.4% of ADF, 52.7% of NDF, 64.9% of TDN and 79.0% of IVDMD.

The present study investigated the effects of different seeding rates on growth characteristics and seed productivity of the “Kowinearly” cultivar of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) in paddy fields. Sowing Kowinearly in paddy fields under growing rice at the rates of 20, 30, 40, and 50 kg/ha resulted in seed yields of 1.57, 1.92, 2.06, and 2.09 ton/ha, respectively. Seed yield of Kowinearly was the highest at a seeding rate of 50 kg/ha (p<0.05), at which the cultivar was able to survive in winter and the weed ratio was low. Under these conditions, most growth characteristics such as winter survival (85%), weed ratio (10%), stems per square meter (1,006) were superior than those sown at other seeding rates (p<0.05). In addition, it has been reported that the economic efficiency of the 50 kg/ha seeding rate was higher than that of the other seeding rates.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of harvesting time of rice on growth characteristics and dry matter yields of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., IRG) ‘Kowinearly’ after seeding them in paddy field. Experiments were performed in National Institute of Animal Science, RDA (Cheonan, Choongcheongnam-do province of Korea) for four years (2011~2014). Italian ryegrass variety ‘Kowinearly’ was seeded at experimental paddy fields before rice harvest in late September. Rice were harvested at 10, 20, and 30 days after seeding of IRG. As the harvest time of rice became later, the number of tillering before winter was reduced and IRG plant length before winter was shorter. The dry matter yield of IRG was also reduced. When rice were harvested at 20 days and 30 days after sowing of IRG compared to the rice harvested in autumn at 10 days after sowing of IRG, the number of tillering for IRG before winter was decreased by an average of 19% and 40%, respectively. The winter survival ratio of IRG was decreased by an average of 13% and 19%, respectively. Their dry matter yields were also reduced by an average of 8% and 19%, respectively. The heading date was different from each other in three years. The plant length at the time of IRG harvest in the spring was not significantly different among treatment groups. Taken together, our results suggest that when Italian ryegrass is grown in paddy fields by the method of ‘seeding of IRG before rice harvest’, rice should be harvested as soon as possible after sowing of IRG ‘Kowinearly’ in the autumn to increase forage productivity.

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth characteristics and dry matter yields of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., IRG) cultivars for three years (2011~2013). The cold-resistance of domestic cultivars was stronger than other foreign varieties. Among early-maturing cultivars, dry matter (DM) yield of ‘Kowinearly’ was significantly higher (8,751 kg/ha) than other cultivars (p<0.05). In medium-maturing cultivars, DM yield of ‘Kowinmaster’ and ‘Tam 90’ was 9,394 and 7,461 kg/ha, respectively. Of the two, the former’s DM yield was higher than the latter’s (p<0.05). Among late-maturing cultivars, DM yield of ‘Hwasan 104’ (9,809 kg/ha) was similar to ‘Hwasan 101’ (9,354 kg/ha), but significantly higher than the other late-maturing cultivars (p<0.05). According to the results obtained from present study, early-maturing cultivars with cold-tolerance and high productivity is required for the paddy field cultivation of an Italian ryegrass cultivar after rice harvest in Cheonan region. Medium- and late-maturing cultivars are more advantageous for the dry field cultivation of the maximum quantity that is possible. In conclusion, to select which cultivar/s to grow, the climate of the growing area, weather conditions, and the cropping system must all be considered

Arsenic (As) is a toxic element that easily taken up by plants root. Several toxic forms of As disrupt plant metabolism by a series of cellular alterations. In this study, we applied annealing control primer (ACP)-based reverse transcriptase PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technique to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in alfalfa roots in response to As stress. Two-week-old alfalfa seedlings were exposed to As treatment for 6 hours. DEGs were screened from As treated samples using the ACP-based technique. A total of six DEGs including heat shock protein, HSP 23, plastocyanin-like domain protein162, thioredoxin H-type 1 protein, protein MKS1, and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase B2 were identified in alfalfa roots under As stress. These genes have putative functions in abiotic stress homeostasis, antioxidant activity, and plant defense. These identified genes would be useful to increase As tolerance in alfalfa plants.

Copper (Cu) is a necessary microelement for plants. However, high concentrations of Cu are toxic to plants that change the regulation of several stress-induced proteins. In this study, an annealing control primer (ACP) based approach was used to identify differentially expressed Cu-induced genes in alfalfa leaves. Two-week-old alfalfa plants (Medicago sativa L.) were exposed to Cu for 6 h. Total RNAs were isolated from treated and control leaves followed by ACP-based PCR technique. Using GeneFishing ACPs, we obtained several genes those expression levels were induced by Cu. Finally, we identified several genes including UDP-glucuronic acid decarboxylase, transmembrane protein, small heat shock protein, C-type cytochrome biogenesis protein, mitochondrial 2-oxoglutarate, and trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA reductase in alfalfa leaves. These identified genes have putative functions in cellular processes such as cell wall structural rearrangements, transduction, stress tolerance, heme transport, carbon and nitrogen assimilation, and lipid biosynthesis. Response of Cu-induced genes and their identification in alfalfa would be useful for molecular breeding to improve alfalfa with tolerance to heavy metals.

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer management is one of the important aspects of economic production of sorghums in sustainable agriculture. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of different N application rates and its split N application methods on productivity, growth characteristics, N accumulation, N use efficiency (NUE), and feed value of Sorghum × Sudangrass hybrids. Treatments consisted of five N application rates (0, 150, 200, 250, and 300 kg ha-1) and two split N application methods (40% in basal N, 30% at the growing stage, and 30% after the first harvest vs. 50% in basal N and 50% after the first harvest). Plant height, leaf width, and stem diameter were increased (p≤0.05) with increasing N fertility rates at each harvest. Chlorophyll content (expressed as SPAD values) was the highest at a rate of 300 kg N ha 1 (first harvest, 46.32; second harvest, 33.09). It was the lowest at zero N (first harvest, 21.56; second harvest, 18.5). Total N, N uptake, and NUE were increased with higher N rates. Split N application had little effect on total N, amount of N uptake, or NUE. Total dry matter yields were the highest (21,715 kg ha-1) at a rate of 300 kg N ha-1. It was the lowest (10,054 kg ha-1) at zero N. Our results suggest that more than 300 kg N ha-1 can improve dry matter yield to be above 116% compared to zero N, thus enhancing the agronomic characters of sorghums. However, no significant effect had been found for split N application. Further work is needed to determine the optimal N levels and the effect of split N application rates.

This study was carried out to determine the effect of mixed pasture using domestic varieties orchardgrass ‘Kodione’ and tall fescue ‘Purumi’ on forage yields and botanical composition from 2013 to 2015 in middle region of Korea. The following mixed pastures were used in this study: treatment A (orchardgrass oriented mixture with imported varieties), treatment B (orchardgrass oriented mixture), treatment C (orchardgrass and tall fescue oriented mixture), treatment D (tall fescue oriented mixture), treatment E (tall fescue oriented mixture without orchardgrass), treatment F (only orchardgrass), and treatment G (only tall fescue). In botanical compositions at last cutting time in 2015, treatment A had orchardgrass at 7.1%, tall fescue at 47.9%, kentucky bluegrass at 15.2% and white clover at 25%. Meanwhile, treatment B had orchardgrass at 25.9%, tall fescue at 47.0%, kentucky bluegrass at 4.9% and white clover at 18.3%. Consequentially, in botanical composition from 2014 to 2015, treatment A was changed more compare to other treatments B, C, D and E. The average of dry matter (DM) yield for 2 years of treatment E (18,369 kg/ha) was the highest among the seven treatments, but there was no significant difference among other treatments except treatment A (p>0.05). The crude protein (CP) and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of treatment A were 14.5% and 74.8%, and treatment E were 14.1% and 73.0%, respectively. The content of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were lower in treatment E and A than other treatments, and treatment E showed high content of total digestible nutrient (TDN). Therefore, tall fescue oriented mixture using domestic tall fescue variety Purumi had good forage productivity, quality and botanical composition in middle region of Korea for the establishment of grassland.

The work presented in this report was a detailed comparative study of the electrochemical response exhibited by graphite anodes in Li-ion batteries having different physical features. A comprehensive morphological and physical characterization was carried out for these graphite samples via X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Later, the electrochemical performance was analyzed using galvanostatic charge/discharge testing and the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique for these graphite samples as negative electrode materials in battery operation. The results demonstrated that a material having a higher crystalline order exhibits enhanced electrochemical properties when evaluated in terms of rate-capability performance. All these materials were investigated at high C-rates ranging from 0.1C up to 10C. Such improved response was attributed to the crystalline morphology providing short layers, which facilitate rapid Li+ ions diffusivity and electron transport during the course of battery operation. The values obtained for the electrical conductivity of these graphite anodes support this possible explanation.

The growth of Italian ryegrass (IRG) after wintering was very low in 2015 when IRG was broadcasted under growing rice in fall of 2014. To determine growth inhibitory factors of IRG, we examined the growth conditions of IRG in Nonsan region and meteorological conditions in Daejeon nearby Nonsan. Minimum temperature and maximum instantaneous wind speed on Feb. 8th and 9th of 2015 after wintering of IRG were 8.8℃, 10.7 m/s and 12.4℃, 9.6m/s, respectively. Air temperature was suddenly dropped due to strong wind with snow showers, which had unfavorable effect on root growth of IRG exposed at the soil surface. The minimum temperature and maximum instantaneous wind speed on Feb. 12th, 13th, and 14th of 2015 were 4.1℃, 11.6 m/s, － 5.6℃, 10.3 m/s, and －4.7℃, 7.5 m/s, respectively. The growth circumstance of IRG was not good because soil was dried due to drought continued from January. The minimum temperature and maximum instantaneous wind speed on Feb. 26th, 27th, and 28th of 2015 were 1.8℃, 13.7 m/s, －3.5℃, 10.6 m/s, and 4.1℃, 6.8 m/s, respectively. The number of wilting of IRG was more than 59% until Mar. 3rd of 2015. IRG faced irreparable environment (low minimum temperatures and extreme instantaneous wind speeds) for 9 days from Mar. 4th to Mar. 12th of 2015. The main reason for the decrease of IRG productivity was collection delay of rice straw after rice harvest because there was continuous rain between Oct. and Nov. of 2014. For this reason, weakly grown IRG under rice straw was withered after wintering. IRG was withered by frost heaving, drought, and instantaneous wind speed in the spring. Furthermore, the root of IRG was damaged while growing in excess moisture in the surface of paddy soil during the winter season due to rain.

낙엽은 육상 생태계에서 영양원소의 주요 원천이며, 낙엽의 분해는 토양의 비옥도를 유지하고, 식물의 생장을 위한 영양원소의 방출 뿐 아니라 이산화탄소의 배출을 조절하는 생물계에서 가장 중요한 과정 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 지구온난화로 인해 그 분포역의 확대가 예상되는 상록활엽수인 동백나무를 대상으로 낙엽의 분해율 및 분해과정에 따른 영양원소의 함량 변화를 파악하기 위해 진행되었다. 실험은 전라남도 완도군 주도 상록활엽수림에서 2011년 12월부터 2013년 12월까지 731일간에 걸쳐 수행되었다. 동백나무 낙엽은 기타 상록활엽수 낙엽에 비해 작고 두꺼우며 단단한 재질을 가지고 있고, 비교적 높은 수용성물질과 셀룰로즈, 리그닌의 함량을 나타내었다. 분해 시작 후, 731일 경과 된 동백나무 낙엽의 잔존율은 42.6%이고 분해상수(k)는 0.427으로 나타났다. 동백나무 낙엽의 탄소 함량은 44.6% 를 나타내었고, 분해과정에 따른 탄소의 잔존량은 낙엽 잔존량의 변화와 거의 일치하는 경향을 나타내었다. 질소와 인의 초기 함량은 각각 0.47%와 324.7mg/g을 나타내었다. 질소의 잔존량은 분해 초기 증가하여 최고 1.66배까지 증가하였지만, 점차 감소하여 731일 후 초기양의 1.18배를 나타내었다. 인의 경우 최고 1.64배까지 증가하였고 731일 후 1.15배를 나타내었다. 동백나무 낙엽의 칼슘, 칼륨, 마그네슘, 나트륨 잔존량은 분해과정에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 칼륨의 경우 빠르게 감소하여 8.9%의 잔존율을 보였다. C/N, C/P 초기 비율은 각각 94.87과 1368.5로 나타났지만, 분해가 진행됨에 따라 현저하게 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 질소와 인의 함량이 초기 함량에 비해 최대 2.78배와 2.68배까지 증가하였기 때문이다. 본 연구의 결과 동백나무의 낙엽은 조사기간 동안에 질소와 인에서는 부동화가, 나머지 원소에서는 무기화가 진행되는 것을 확인하였다.

Waterborne infectious disease is induced by several pathogenic microbes such as bacteria, viruses and protozoans, and the cases caused by viral infection is currently increasing. Water treatment process could reduce the number of virus in the water, but there were many difficulties to completely remove the virus particles from water. Therefore, the membrane separation technology which was reported to effectively remove pollutants from raw water has attracted increasing attention and demand. Since its efficiency has been introduced, demands for evaluation method toward the membrane filtration process are increasing. However, progression of the method development is slow due to the difficulties in cultivation of several waterborne viruses from animal models or cell culture system. To overcome the difficulties, we used adenovirus, one of the commonly isolated pathogenic waterborne viruses which can grow in cell culture system in vitro. The adenovirus used in this study was identified as human adenovirus C strain. The adenovirus was spiked in the raw water and passed through the microfiltration membrane produced by Econity, a Korean membrane company, and then the viral removal rate was evaluated by real-time PCR. In the results, the amount of virus in the filtered water was decreased approximately by 5 log scale. Because coagulant treatment has been known to reduce filtering function of the membrane by inducing fouling, we also investigated whether there was any interference of coagulant. In the results, we confirmed that coagulant treatment did not show significant interference on microfiltration membrane. In this study, we found that waterborne virus can be effectively removed by membrane filtration system. In particular, here we also suggest that real-time PCR method can rapidly, sensitively and quantitatively evaluate the removal rate of virus. These results may provide a standard method to qualifying membrane filtration processes.

본 연구는 2014 / 2015년 동계 사료작물의 월동 후 생육 조사를 통하여 전국적인 작황을 파악함으로서 사료작물 생 육에 문제점이 있을시 근본 원인을 구명할 수 있는 기초자 료로 이용하거나 조사료의 연중 안정 생산, 공급에 도움을 주고자 수행하였다. 2015년도 전국 동계 사료작물의 월동 후 생육 상황은 전반적으로 저조하였는데, 월동률 분포에 따른 지역별 분포 상황을 살펴보면 월동률 80% 이상인 지 역이 66%, 월동률 79~50% 분포지역이 24.9%, 50%미만 지 역이 9.1%의 지역별 분포를 나타내어 전체적으로는 79%의 월동률을 나타냈다. 월동 후 월동률 및 피복률은 배수로가 설치된 논에서는 각각 83%와 80%로서 양호했으나 배수로 가 설치 안 된 습한 논에서는 각각 67%와 66%로 낮은 경 향을 나타냈다. 전국 동계작물 조사료 생산량은 강원, 충 북, 충남, 경남, 전남지역은 10~15%, 경기, 경북, 전북지역 은 약 30%의 수량감소가 예상되어 전국적으로 약 19%의 수량 감소가 예상되었다.

Recently, climate change has been increasingly reported to be associated with vector-borne diseases including West Nile Virus, avian poxvirus, bluetongue virus. These diseases, which are of medical and veterinary importance, are known to affect the health status of wildlife. In this sense, it is vital to understand the distribution of mosquitoes and biting midges as the disease-vectors in the habitat of wildlife. In order to do this, nocturnal insects were collected using CDC Mini Night Traps (cat. no. 2836BXQ, BioQuip, CA, USA) in the coniferous and deciduous forest near the ponds in National Institute of Ecology (NIE) on the weekdays from June to September. As a result, 920 mosquitoes belonging to 13 species of 7 genus and 5,129 biting midges belonging to 8 species of Culicoides were collected in total. For mosquitoes, Aedes vexans nipponii and Culex orientalis were the predominant species consisting about two thirds of all the mosquitoes. For biting midges, Culicoides arakawae was the prevalent species present and 97.3% of this kind appeared to have preference to feed on birds. The number of mosquitoes collected remained relatively constant as opposed to the number of biting midges which showed the tendency to fluctuate - the second or third week of each month had the highest number of Culicoides spp. Forest ecology had more diverse distribution of species than livestock farms and reflected the abundance of birds in NIE. In addition, further evaluation of the effect of environment, such as climatic factors, on the ecology of these disease vectors would be required.
