This study was performed to investigate the emergence timing and daily emergence from the different tree species logs (Korean white pine, Pine, and Japanese larch) at Cheongwon, Chungcheongbuk-do from 2006 to 2008. Pine sawyer adults began to emerge on early May (2~10th day) and finished on mid-June (4~20th day) in the Korean white pine and pine logs. However, pine sawyer adults began to emerge on mid-May (13th day) and finished late May (27th day) in Japanese larch logs. Japanese larch logs shows shorter emergence timing of pine sawyer adult compare to those of other two tree species. Emergence timing shows no difference between males and females. Sex ratios of emerged adult in 2007 were 0.55 from Korean white pine, 0.46 from Pine, and 0.59 from Japanese larch, it shows no difference among tree species. Female and male adults emerged throughout 24 hrs, 22.8% of the total adults emerged from 12~14:00 (22.8%) and adults emerged lowest from 06~08:00. Of the adults emerged from the logs, 98.9% was univoltine and the rest was biennial which emerged next year.

To investigate the ecological emergence of pine sawyer beetle adult, it was examined the escape time and period and daily escape according to the tree species at Cheongwon, Chungbuk from 2006 to 2008. In the emergence chamber with non-shading treatment, the adults began to escape on May 6 in Pine and Korean white pine, May 13 in Japanese larch, and the last day of emergence was examined the beginning to Middle of June in Pine tree, middle to last of June in Korean white pine, last of May in Japanese larch, it showed the difference among tree species. In the emergence chamber with shade treatment, the first day of emergence of adult was delayed the eleven to sixteen days and showed lower 2.22℃ in temperature compare to the emergence chamber with non-shading treatment. Escape period did not show the difference between males and females. Daily emergence was escaped throughout 24 hrs. Number of emergence adult in daily hours was highest emerged with 22.8% in 12-14:00 and lowest in 06-08:00. Among escaped adults from shaded chamber in 2007, ratio of the adults of one generation per year was showed 98.8% and ratio of one generation in two year was observed 1.1 % in 2008. From 2006 to 2008, sex ratio of emerged adult from Korean white pine was showed 0.53-0.58 and its average was 0.54.

Pine wood nematode(PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a causal organism to induce pine wilt disease in many varieties of pine trees. PWN is mainly distributed in the East Asia including Japan, China, and Korea, but it was originally imported from the North America of the West. Over 70 species of Bursaphelenchus have been reported, but they are morphologically similar to each other. In Korea, only two species of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, B. mucronatus (both Asian type and European type) have been reported however, a recent survey showed the distribution of extra species of Bursaphelenchus in dead trees. Three isolates, BSPD-1, BSPD-2, and BSPL-1, were identified as Bursaphelenchus thilandae, B. hylobianum, and B. doui, respectively, which was determined by both morphological and molecular biological characteristics. Both BSPD-1 and BSPD-2 were originally collected from Pinus densiflora in Namyangju and BSPL-1 came from Liriodendron tulipifera in Wanju. The morphology of each species were compared from the original descriptions focusing on male spicule and female tail and reproductive organ. A molecular diagnosis method, ITS-RFLP was applied to confirm morphological identification. Genomic DNA was extracted from a single individual nematode and ITS DNA was amplified by PCR. Amplified ITS was digested by 5 different restriction enzymes (Rsa I, Hae III, Msp I, Hinf I, and Alu I) and provided a discriminatory profile for different species of Bursaphelenchus. The three species, B. thilandae, B. hylobianum, and B. doui, are all unrecorded species in Korea.

During the repair and restoration of the Daewoongjeon Hall of Youngguksa Temple, species identification and tree-ring dating for both present wood elements and charred ones excavated under the Hall, were conducted. The species of 74 wood elements of Daewoongjeon Hall, were identified as Pinus densiflora Sieb. et Zucc. and only 1 was identified as exotic Pinus species. The latter wood, which was used in the laths, seems to have been replaced during past repairs. Many documentary records and various artifacts pertaining to Youngguksa Temple are being excavated, but none described precisely the construction date of the present Daewoongjeon Hall. Also, from beneath the Daewoongjeon Hall, cornerstone and foundation of previous building and several charred wood elements were excavated. In comparing the direction of the stone columns of foundation of the previous structure and the existing Daewoongjeon Hall, the previous structure was rotated in an angle of approximately $15^{\circ}$. Therefore, in order to find the association of the previous structure with the present Daewoongjeon Hall, tree-ring dating was conducted. The dating of 41 original timbers and 14 roof-filling timbers of the present construction elements revealed that the last annual ring was of A. D. 1703 with complete latewood, indicating that those woods was cut some time between the autumn of 1703 and spring of 1704, and the building was erected in 1704 when we assume no period of wood storage. The year of the last annual ring of the charred elements, which were excavated from beneath the Daewoongjeon Hall, was analyzed as 1674. The cutting year of the woods used for the present building began in 1698, therefore, it can be presumed that the Daewoongjeon Hall before the fire was a structure that was elected shortly after 1674 and that a catastrophic fire occurred some time between 1674 and 1698.

목본식물에 대한 Al독성에 관한 기초자료를 얻고자, Al농도별(1.0, 2.5및 5.0mM) 수용액과 대조구로 지하수를 모래를 채운 화분에 파종한 곰솔, 측백나무 및 쥐똥나무에 1993년 4월 28일부터 6월 16일까지 주 3회씩, 1회 5mm의 강도로 처리하였다. 6월 26일 묘목을 굴취하여 생장관련형질(묘목의 수, 묘고, 지상부, 지하부 및 개체당 건중량)을 측정하여 수종간, 처리간 비교하였다. Al수용액 처리에 대한 반응은 수종별로 상이하였으며, 쥐똥나무가 세 수종 중에서는 가장 감수성인 것으로 나타났으며, 곰솔이 가장 내성을 지닌 것이라 판단된다.

Seasonal changes in the CO2 fixation rate and water-use efficiency in the leaves of six evergreen and two deciduous broad-leaved tree species on Jeju Island, Korea, were measured using a portable photosynthesis analyzer, to identify which species are most efficient in taking up CO2 from the air. The CO2 fixation rate was high in the deciduous species in spring and summer and decreased in fall, whereas it was high in the evergreen species in summer and fall and decreased in winter. The rate remained high in the deciduous tree Prunus yedoensis from spring to fall (> 7.1 μmol CO2/m2/s) and in two evergreen trees, Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii and Cinnamomum camphora, in summer and fall (7.0 9.9 μmol CO2/m2/s). Therefore, these tree species fix atmospheric CO2 effectively. The water-use efficiency was higher in evergreen species than in deciduous species regardless of the season. Exceptionally, it was high in the deciduous species Zelkova serrata in spring and summer (> 100 μmol CO2/mol H2O), suggesting that Z. serrata is a useful tree for dry conditions due to its tolerance of water stress. The regressions of the CO2 fixation rate versus the evaporation rate and stomatal conductance were linear and non-linear, respectively. This suggests that the stomatal activity of leaves plays an important part in CO2 fixation of plants. In conclusion, C. cuspidata var. sieboldii, C. camphora, and P. yedoensis should be planted along roads or in urban spaces for the greening of cities and mitigation of CO2 concentrations in the air.

Background : We examined the inorganic compounds, compressive strength, yield, and functional substances of five steam-treated deciduous tree species to address the problem of the low degradation activity of conventional oak trees in the cultivation of Gastrodia elata in indoor facilities. Methods and Results : With the exception of Ca in cherry blossom tree (CBT), the content of the major inorganic elements (N, P, Mg, K, and Ca) in alternative trees were 1.5 - 3.6, 1.3 - 2.6, 3.3 - 5.3, 4.4 - 7.5, and 0.9 - 3.9 times those in oak (control group), respectively. The content of trace elements (Zn, Cu, Fe, and Mn) were equivalent to or slightly lower than those in oak, depending on tree species. The compressive strength of alternative trees was 9.3%–34.9% lower than that of oak. The compressive strength after steaming was lower in the order CBT (8.0%), mulberry tree (MBT: 7.0%), chestnut tree (CNT: 7.2%), Siebold's crab (SBC: 6.9%), black locust (BLL: 6.1%), and oak (5.4%). The total weight of oak was 893 g in comparison with the 1,107, 902, 952, 813, and 813 g of MBT, CNT, CBT, SBC, and BLL, respectively. The mature tuber and seed tuber ratios were 31%, 34%, 32%, 32%, 34%, and 30%, and 67%, 75%, 68%, 70%, 73%, and 65%, respectively. The yield index increased overall by 1% - 14%. Total weight after steaming increased by 10%, 18%, 14%, 16%, 20%, and 12% in oak, MBT, CNT, CBT, SCB, and BLL, respectively. Mature tuber and seed tuber ratios after steaming increased by 1%, 1%, 0%, 1%, and 2%, and 5%, 3%, 7%, 2%, 5%, and 5%, respectively. There were no significant difference among tree species in drying ratio, hardness, chromaticity for quality comparisons, and steaming. However, the results of functional substance analysis revealed significant differences in gastrodin, gastrodigenin, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and ergothioneine according to tree species. Conclusion : From the above results, we may believed that five tree species including MBT might have useful as alternative to oak when the cultivation of G. elata in Indoor Facilities.

To maintain a rich biological diversity is important to develop for biomaterial resources such as Korean evergreen broad-leaved tree species, the distribution of which is restricted to the southern part of Korean peninsula. We assessed photosynthetic characteristics of Quercus acuta and Castanopsis sieboldii, the representative evergreen broad-leaved trees in Korea, in order to establish a basis for conservation strategy related to distributional change in evergreen broad-leaved tree species according to climate change. Photosynthetic characteristics were evaluated in the sun and shade leaves of the two species. Sun leaves in both species revealed higher light compensation point and maximum photosynthetic rate compared to the shade leaves. In addition, photosynthetic rate was higher in Q. acuta than C. sieboldii, which was supported by a higher leaf nitrogen content and leaf mass per area. Water use efficiency was also higher in Q. acuta as compared to that in C. sieboldii. Similar photosynthetic rate, however, was shown in photosynthetic response to CO2 concentration in the intercellular space. These results suggest that both species could respond differently to the changing environmental factors including climate change, suggesting the possibility of distributional changes resulting from a differential growth rate.

This study investigated the background thoughts and geographical characteristics of the trees planted in Soswaewon garden located in Damyang, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. This study also investigated the tree species in the early years of the garden and their chronological changes. The number of trees planted in Soswaewon garden is presently 135 in 22 species, which consists of 107 arboreals in 15 species and shrubs in 7 species. Tree species which showed high frequency rates were Zelkova serrata, Lagerstroemia indica, Acer palmatum, Sophora japonica and Rhododendron indicum. The background thoughts of these trees were Feng Shui, Yin Yang, and Confucianism for Zelkova serrata; Shin-sun, Taoism, and Confucianism for Lagerstroemia indica; Confucianism for Acer palmatum; Shin-sun, Taoism, and Confucianism for Sophora japonica. Rhododendron indicum was planted just for decoration without any particular background thoughts. In exploring geographical characteristics, all of 5 trees species were found to grow well everywhere in southern regions of Korea, especially in maritime climate of the south west coasts. Literature survey revealed the tree species planted in the early years of the garden. Back in 1548 when Soswaewon was first established, there were 11 tree species growing, then 12 species in 1755, 28 species in 1983, 23 species in 1999, and 24 species in 2012. At present, there are 22 tree species growing in Soswaewon garden.

Birds play a main role in the formation and change of forest structures as they are seed-dispersal agents. This study aims to identify birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree and their associated fruits and seeds on Jeju Island in the context on the forest restoration in Korea. We conducted field surveys twice a month from 2013 to 2015 at nine study sites located across Jeju Island and collected available photographic and observation records. A total of 50 species of birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree were identified and birds belonging to Bombycillidae, Pycnonotidae, Zosteropidae, Sturnidae and Fringillidae were confirmed as major birds consuming fruits and seeds of the tree. Gulping was the dominant type of feeding as well as crushing, but relationship between the size of a bird and the number of fruit and seed species used by the bird was not significant. We also documented that 118 fruit and seed species were consumed by birds and that shrubby fruits and seeds were more consumed by birds than those of other plant types. The relative consumption rate of fruits and seeds ranged from 0.02 to 0.44, but five species were the most important fruits and seeds for birds. Our finding suggest that avian frugivorous gulpers will benefit the seed dispersal, especially of five fruiting plants, providing useful baseline data for forest restoration and urban park design.

We have researched the image of different forest species by asking those who use these forests how they feel when enjoying them for their various purposes. We surveyed five different forest areas, these were a pine forest a korean pine forest a cypress forest a broad leafed forest and a mixed forest. We asked 806 people how these forests made them feel and what they thought was the image of these forests. We offered them a choice of 18 pairs of adjectives to describe how they felt. We used the SD Scale and discovered 4 different factors. A feeling of comfort and freshness and a feeling of order and space. There was also a feeling of intimacy with nature. Each forest gave out its own feeling and image. comfort and freshness was felt by those in the pine forest, the korean pine forest, the broad leafed forest and the mixed forest . A Feeling of order and space was felt in the korean pine forest. Intimacy was felt in the pine forest, broad leafed forest and the mixed forest.

한국구비문학대계 49편, 한국구전설화집 85편, 삼국유사 수록 14편에 수록된 148편의 수목설화에 나타난 나무 종류와 한국인의 수목관을 조사하였다. 그 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 설화에 소나무가 가장 많이 나타나 소나무는 우리 민족의 삶과 정서에 밀접한 관련을 맺고 있는 나무임을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 은행나무, 느티나무, 대나무, 버드나무, 유실수 등과 같이 생활과 밀접히 관련 있는 생활권주변의 친숙한 나무들이 주로 등장하였다. 셋째, 활엽수가 침엽수 보다 훨씬 많이 나타나 활엽수종들이 민중들에게 보다 친숙했음을 알 수있다. 넷째, 설화 속 나무의 형상을 통해나무는 생명의 원천이자 세상의 이치를 깨닫게 하는 신성한 능력을 지닌 주술적 상징물로서, 나무를 인격화하여 인간과 교감 및 소통의 대상으로서, 나무의 강한 생명력과 번식력, 재생력을 통해 풍요, 다산, 다복의 상징물로서 인식되고 공유했음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 한국인의 나무나 숲에 대한 태도 또는 인식을 직접적으로 남긴 문헌이나 기록이 미비한 상황에서 수목에 대한 관념이나 견해를 설화를 통해 간접적으로 유추했다는 데 의의가 있다. 또한 현재 산림치유나 원예치료 등 자연물을 대상으로 국민건강을 도모하기 위한 프로그램 개발의 시도가 활발히 이뤄지고 있는 반면, 현장에 적용할 프로그래밍 소재 발굴에 어려움을 호소하는 경우가 많다. 이와 같은 상황에서 우리 전통문화에 등장하는 소재들은 참가자들에게 좀 더 의미 있고, 유익한가치를 제공하는 기회가 될 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서 도출된 결과들이 향후 산림문화자원을 활용한 프로그램 개발에 기초자료로써 유용하게 활용될 수 있기를 기대해 본다.

고품질의 곰취, 곤달비 및 한대리곰취를 지속적으로 생산할 수 있는 임간재배기술을 개발하고자 횡성군 둔내면의 산채마을 임간재배지에 생육중인 세 식물종의 광합성을 특성을 조사 비교하였다. 광도에 따른 곰취류의 광합성율의 평균은 광도가 높아질수록 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 광도에 따른 곰취의 광합성율의 평균은 광도가 높아질수록 높아지다가 1,600 PPFD에서 최대치인 21.1μmol CO2m-2s-1를 보이고 2,000 PPFD에서는 낮아졌다. 한대리곰취가 27.39(μmol CO2m-2s-1)로 가장 높은 광합성율을 보였고, 곰취, 곤달비 순으로 낮아졌다. 5월 27일 측정에서 모두 식물종간 통계적 유의차가 인정되었으며 광합성율은 한대리곰취, 곰취, 곤달비 순이었고, 6월 21일 측정 광합성율은 한대리금취, 곤달비, 곰취순이었다. 횡성군 둔내면 산채마을과 같은 해발고가 낮은 지역에서는 곰취나 곤달비 보다는 한대리곰취의 임판재배가 적합할 것이라 사료된다.

수종간 독립성 검정결과 상수리-산초나무 외에는 지역별로 유의한 종간 상관이 서로 다르게 나타남으로써 수종간 생태적 지위의 공유관계는 수종간의 친화력뿐만 아니라 생육환경에 의한 영향도 큰 것으로 해석된다. 환경요인을 독립변수로 한 군집분석결과 물푸레나무는 화살나무, 노간주나무, 떡갈나무, 산초나무, 개옻나무 등과 같은 집단(물푸레나무-개옻나무 그룹)으로 분류되었으며, 음나무는 느릅나무, 당단풍, 병꽃나무, 물갬나무 등(음나무-느릅나무 그룹)과, 고로쇠나무는 두릅나무, 거제수나무, 서어나무 등과 같은 집단(고로쇠나무-거제수나무 그룹)으로 분류되었다. 환경요인과 군집간의 상관분석결과 지형, 해발고, 사면방향, 경사, 출현종수 등의 환경요인 중 지형과 해발고에 따른 영향을 많이 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 고로쇠나무-거제수나무 그룹은 해발고가 높은 계곡부~사면하부에 주로 분포하는 것으로 나타났으며, 음나무-느릅나무 그룹과 물푸레나무-개옻나무 그룹 수종들은 지형적인 적응력이 높아 넓은 면적에 산발적으로 분포하는 것으로 분석되었다.

우리나라 고산 지역에 제한적으로 자생하는 희귀 유전자원인 눈향나무(Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii HENRY)의 설악산 및 한라산 집단을 대상으로 동위효소 분석에 의한 유전적 다양성을 조사하였다. 총 7개 동위효소에서 11개의 재현성 있는 유전자좌가 분석되었으며, 이중 Mdh-1, Mdh-2, Mdh-3 및 Pig-1 유전자좌를 제외한 7개 유전자좌에서 다형성이 관찰되었다. 분석된 두 집단의 유전변이량은 각각 A=2.2, Ae=1.61, P95=54.5, Ho=0.179, He=0.287(설악산 집단)과 A=2.1, Ae=1.48, P95=63.6, Ho=0.270, He=0.250(한라산 집단)으로 국내 타 침엽수종으로부터 동위효소 분석을 통해 추정된 유전변이량에 비해 다소 높은 경향을 보였으며, 분석 집단간 유전적 분화 정도는 그리 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다(FST=0.039). 설악산 집단의 경우 이형접합도의 관찰치가 기대치에 비해 매우 낮았으며 근교계수 값이 매우 높게 나타나(F=0.376), 전반적으로 근친교배 또는 유전적 부동의 영향을 많이 받고 있는 것으로 추정되었다. 이는 설악산 눈향나무 집단의 분포 면적이나 개체수가 한라산 집단에 비해 매우 적기 때문인 것으로 추정되며, 향후 설악산 집단의 보존을 위한 보다 적극적인 노력이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
