The present study was to survey the site environment, vegetation structure and soil characteristics in the wild habitats of Acer tegmentosum Maxim. and offers basic information for habitats conservation and restoration. Most of the wild habitats were located at altitudes between 605~1,413m with inclinations ranged as 8~30°. The bare rock rate were 8~50%. The vegetation structure by the PC-ORD based on the Two Way Cluster Analysis were divided into three groups CommunityⅠ(Acer tegmentosum – Quercus mongolica), CommunityⅡ(Acer tegmentosum - Carpinus cordata), CommunityⅢ(Quercus mongolica – Tilia amurensis). The species diversity(H') was highest in CommunityⅡ as 1.474, CommunityⅠwas 1.471, Community Ⅲ was 1.219. The soil textures were Clay loam, The average soil pH was 4.8, Soil organic matter was 15.15% and available phosphorus was 2.33ppm. Ordination analysis result by soil characteristics, community, characteristic species showed that the greatest effect factors were slope, altitude, tree and shrub’s cover rate, organic matter, total-nitrogen, calcium, magnesium. Correlation analysis between environment factor result showed that O.M. - (T.N., K+, Mg2+, CEC, EC), T.N. - (K+, Mg2+, CEC, EC) were positive correlations.

본 연구는 저관리 경량형 옥상녹화의 온도저감 및 온 열환경을 평가하여 도시열섬현상완화 등 도시 열환경 개 선을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 옥상녹화 는 1,500 × 1,500mm크기의 돌단풍(Aceriphyllum rossii)과 두메부추(Allium senescens)를 이용하여 2012년 7월 30일 부터 31일까지 48시간 동안 연속으로 외부기상환경, 대 조구 표면 온도, 옥상녹화 표면 및 하부 온도, 열류량, 열 수지를 측정하였다. 2012년 7월 30일 14시 30분에 34.0oC 의 최고기온을 보였을 때 대조구 표면은 55.6oC였으나, 돌 단풍과 두메부추 표면은 각각 33.3와 33.4oC를 하부는 각각 32.9oC와 32.8oC를 보여 옥상녹화에 의한 온도저감효 과가 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 7월 31일에도 대조구 표면과 비교하여 옥상녹화가 온도를 큰 폭으로 저감하는 것으로 나타났다. 열류량은 7월 30일의 경우 대조구가 467.3W • m−2로 최대 열류량을 보였을 때, 돌단풍과 두메 부추 표면은 각각 19.8W • m−2와 39.0W • m−2를 보였으며, 하부는 각각 −0.2W • m−2, −9.2W• m−2로 나타나 건축물로 이입되는 열류량이 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 실험 기간 내 총 증발산량은 두메부추 14,426.1g • m−2, 돌단풍 12,424.3g • m−2로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to survey the vascular plants on Mt. Seokbyeongsan (1,055 m) and provide a basis for the conservation and management of plant resources. The vascular plants were surveyed from March to October 2015. The flora on Mt. Seokbyeongsan was classified as follows: 102 families, 295 genera, 454 species, 4 subspecies, 51 varieties, 7 forms, and a total of 516 taxa. Endemic plants included 17 families, 24 genera, 25 species, 1 variety, and a total of 26 taxa. The Korea Forest Service assignment of rare plants, including 21 families, 33 genera, 33 species, 3 varieties, and a total of 36 taxa, was investigated. Moreover, the Ministry of Environment assignment of rare plants, including 13 families, 17 genera, 17 species, 1 variety, and a total of 18 taxa, was investigated. Floristic special plants in the surveyed area were divided into five classes (Classes Ⅰ–Ⅴ): 42 taxa of Class Ⅰ, 26 taxa of Class Ⅱ, 35 taxa of Class Ⅲ, 20 taxa of Class Ⅳ, and 9 taxa of Class Ⅴ for a total of 132 taxa. Naturalized plants were 18 taxa, and plants threatened by climate change were 48 taxa.

This study was carried out to investigate the flora of indigenous habitat of Simjeok forest wetland, Mt. Jeombomg forest wetland, Mt. Sohwangbyung forest wetland, Jilmoi-neup, and Mt. Myeon forest wetland in Gangwon Province. The vascular plants were summarized as 547 taxa; 92 families, 296 genera, 468 species, 4 subspecies, 67 varieties, 8 forms. The plants that are specially noteworthy are 17 taxa of Korean endemic plants, 3 taxa of Critical Endangered Species (CR), 4 taxa of Endangered Species (EN), 8 taxa of Vulnerable Species (VU) and 17 taxa of Least Concemed Species (LC) in rare plants as categorized by the Korean Forest Service. Furthermore, V, IV, III degrees of floristic regional indicator plants as categorized by the Korean Ministry of Environment included 9 taxa, 14 taxa and 34 taxa, respectively. In addition, 25 taxa of naturalized plants were observed. In this study, we identified a variety of plants observed in the wetlands of Gangwon Province. We believe that this study will provide useful data for future research on the conservation and management of wetlands.

This was an experimental study to evaluate temperature reduction and evapotranspiration of extensive green roof. Three test cells with a dimension of 1.2(W)×1.2(D)×1.0(H) meters were built using 4-inch concrete blocks. Ten-centimeter concrete slab was installed on top of each cell. The first cell was control cell with no green roof installed. The second and third cells were covered with medium-leaf type Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica) above a layer of soil. Soil thickness on the second cell was 10cm and that on the third cell was 20cm. Air temperature, relative humidity and solar irradiance were measured using AWS (automatic weather system). Temperature on top surface and ceiling of the control cell and temperature on top surface, below soil and ceiling of green roof cells was measured. Evapotranspiration of the green roof cells were measured using weight changes. Compared with temperature difference on the control cell, temperature difference was greater on green roof cells. Between two green roof cells, the temperature difference was greater on the third cell with a thicker soil layer. Temperature differences below soil and on ceilings of green roof cells were found greater than those of the control cell. Between the green roof cells, there was no difference in the temperature reduction effects below soil and on ceilings based on substrate depth. In summary, green roof was found effective in temperature reduction due to evapotranspiration and shading effect.

Purpose of this study was to evaluate germination characteristics of soil seed bank in rural stream topsoil using seedling emergence method in order to provide data for future ecological restoration of stream utilizing topsoil. There were 24 families, 52 genera, 61 taxa of soil seed bank flora found in topsoil from 6 rural streams. The most frequently found taxa were Compositae (12 taxa) followed by Gramineae (8 taxa), Caryophyllaceae (5 taxa), Cruciferae (4 taxa), Scrophulariaceae, Labiatae, Polygonaceae and Cyperaceae. Plant with the most number of germination was Stellaria aquatica followed by Erigeron annuus, Imperata cylindrica var. koenigii, Poa annua, Cyperus microiria and Veronica undulata. Naturalized plants found were Erigeron annuus, Rumex crispus, Oenothera odorata, Cerastium glomeratum, Bidens frondosa, Erigeron philadelphicus, etc.
