본 연구는 온대 낙엽활엽수림의 하층식생 변화를 구명하여 산림생태계의 체계적 보전과 효율적 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행하였다. 2003년 경기도 포천 광릉 숲에 1ha 크기의 영구조사구를 설치하였으며, 영구조사구는 10×10m 크기의 부조사구 100개로 구성되었다. 영구조사구의 임분동태 및 하층식생은 2003년부터 2018년까지 5년 간격으로 조사되었다. 조사구에 출현하는 관속식물은 56과 128속 176종 18변종 4품종 1아종으로 총 199분류군 이었다. 관목층과 초본층의 종수는 시간이 경과함에 따라 모두 감소하는 경향을 보였다. MRPP-test 분석 결과 관목층의 종조성은 2008년-2013년을 제외한 모든 연도에서 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 초본층의 경우 모든 연도에서 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 평균 중요치에서 관목층은 참회나무(18.23%), 당단풍나무(16.48%), 작살나무(13.85%)가 우점하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 초본층에서는 단풍취(23.41%), 애기나리(9.45%), 주름조개풀(5.62%)이 우점하는 것으 로 나타났다. 관목층은 상층 임분의 흉고단면적과 임분밀도가 높을수록 청미래덩굴, 청괴불나무, 고광나무의 풍부도가 높았으며, 흉고단면적과 임분밀도가 낮을수록 당단풍나무, 물참대, 산뽕나무, 산딸나무의 풍부도가 높았다. 시간이 경과 할수록 흉고단면적과 임분밀도는 초본층에 미치는 영향이 적은 반면, 관목층의 참회나무와 당단풍나무의 피도는 초본층 종 구성에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 분석되었다. 결론적으로 광릉 장기생태조사지의 하층은 종수가 지속적으로 감소하고 있으며, 이 과정은 상층 임분의 종다양성과 흉고단면적, 임분밀도가 하층식생 종조성에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되었다.

대기 중 미세먼지가 환경과 인간의 공중 보건에 악영향을 미치고 있다는 사실은 점점 명확해지고 있다. 미세먼지가 식물의 잎에 침착, 흡수되므로 식물이 미세먼지를 제거 하는 바이오필터로 활용하기 위한 연구들이 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 또한, 식물에 흡수된 미세먼지는 식물에 다양한 생리적, 형태적 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구는 식물과 미세먼지간의 상호작용에 대해 국내외에서 수행되어온 연구들의 방법과 결과를 특히 생태적 관점에서 종합 정리하였다.

Insect metabolism and the inter-species communication among insects are fascinating fields of science. The underlying chemical principles are difficult to elucidate since minute amounts of chemicals, often of unknown structures, are involved. The talk highlights recent examples of work where chemical analysis and biological research went hand in hand to unravel ecological mysteries. Focus will be on the use of modern and sensitivity improved nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy serving as analytical key technology.

Evidence indicates that lower levels of obesity among school-age children can be achieved through active school travel modes which include walking. This research aims to empirically investigate the explanatory potential of the Ecological and Cognitive Active Commuting (ECAC) model to explain walking to school behaviour among Queensland children. The results from an online survey of 537 carers in Queensland, Australia indicate that the ECAC explained 53.4% of the variance in walking to school. Distance to school moderates the associations among walking to school behaviours, perceived risks, and social norms. Data indicates that changing carers’ social norms and lowering the perceived risks carers associate with walking to school will increase the incidence of walking to school in Queensland.

Housing problem is one of the most basic human problems. This paper refer to primary ecological concept of the traditional local-style dwelling houses, try to find a way, put the traditional ecological concept into use for modem residential buildings, study the applicability between traditional local-style dwelling houses and modem residential buildings.

The core of vertical space greening of urban architecture which is an effective approach to build the green healthy living environment and to increase urban green space, is the ecological planting epidermis design. By means of learning the experience of international ecological planting design of construction epidermis, the paper reviews principles of ecological planting design of construction epidermis and the relationship between this and planting design, which bases on the concept of BBL, the bioclimatic buffering layer. Furthermore, it aims to find new creative ideas of the combination of green plants and construction epidermis design, in order to provide references for Chinese construction epidermis design practice.

Recent climate change, which is mostly ascribed to anthropogenic activities, is believed to be a major factor leading to biodiversity decreases and ecosystem service deteriorations. I have reviewed recent studies on climate change effects for many ecological processes involved with plants, in order to improve our understanding of the nature of ecological complexity. Plants in general have better growth and productivity under high levels of CO2, although the long term effects of such CO2 fertilizers are still controversial. Over the last 30 years, the Earth has been greening, particularly at higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, perhaps due to a relaxation of climatic constraints. Human appropriation of net primary productivity (NPP), which corresponds up to 1/3 of global NPP, is ultimately responsible for climate change and biodiversity decreases. Climate change causes phenological variations in plants, especially in regards to spring flowering and fall leaf coloring. Many plants migrate polewards and towards higher altitudes to seek more appropriate climates. On the other hand, tree mortality and population declines have recently been reported in many continents. Landscape disturbance not only hinders the plant migration, but also makes it difficult to predict the plants’ potential habitats. Plant and animal population declines, as well as local extinctions, are largely due to the disruption of species interactions through temporal mismatching. Temperature and CO2 increase rates in Korea are higher than global means. The degree of landscape disturbances is also relatively high. Furthermore, long-term data on individual species responses and species interactions are lacking or quite limited in Korea. This review emphasizes the complex nature of species responses to climate change at both global and local scales. In order to keep pace with the direction and speed of climate change, it is urgently necessary to observe and analyze the patterns of phenology, migration, and trophic interactions of plants and animals in Korea’s landscape.

Moths were collected using a 22W UV black light trap in June through September in 2005 and May, June, August and September in 2006. The study sites were Namsan (Mt. Nam), Jirisan (Mt. Jiri), Woraksan (Mt. Worak) which are part of the Korean National Long Term Ecological Research (KNLTER). There were two common forest communities, Quercus mongolica and Pinus densiflora. The purpose of this study was to compare species diversity of the major plant feeding Lepidoptera in the two forest types at the regional KNLTER sites. We collected a total of 435 species from the KLTER sites in 2005 and 2006. Abundance of moths was highest at Woraksan (Mt. Worak) followed by Jirisan (Mt. Jiri). The Namsan (Mt. Nam) site had the lowest, with five families (Arctiidae, Geometridae, Noctuidae, Notodontidae, and Pyralidae). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed statistically significant differences at sampling date in species abundance as a response variable and at site in species richness as another response variable. Although we expected a distinct cluster with the forest type at each study site, one of ordination analyses, nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS), showed distinct clusters with the moth assemblages at each site only but NMS did not show any distinct cluster with the different forest types at each site as we expected.

Moths were caught by using two 22W UV black light traps per treatment during May, June, August and September in 2007 from our study sites. Our study areas of the Korea Long Term Ecological Research (KLTER) sites were Mt. Nam with two plant communities (Quercus mongolica, Pinus densiflora), Mt. Jiri with three plant communities (Q. mongolica, P. densiflora, Abies koreana), Mt. Wolak with three plant communities (Q. mongolica, P. densiflora, Q. variabilis), and Mt. Jumbong with t재 plant communities (Q. mongolica, P. densiflora). The purpose of this study was to compare the species diversity of major plant feeders, Lepidopteran species (moths) at each forest type of the regional KLTER sites. Overall, the total numbers of moth species we’ve collected from the all KLTER sites in 2007 were 670 species. For the three plant communities, Mt.Jiri (11 family, 259 species, 2372 individuals) was the highest site and Mt. Wolak (7 family, 401 species, 2243 individuals) was the next highest. For the two plant communities, Mt. Jumbong (14 family, 166 species, 1750 individuals) was highest and Mt Nam (4 family, 21 species, 142 individuals) was very few. The ordination analyses, Nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMS) and cluster analysis, showed distinct clusters separating the assemblages of moth found at each site and each plant community of the KLTER sites (P<0.05 from MRPP). Therefore, we suggest that our sustainable monitoring will verify the distinct cluster with the forest type at each site with many replications.
