To investigate the impact of forestry projects on the carbon stocks of forests, we estimated the carbon stock change of above-ground and soil before and after forestry projects using forest type maps, forestry project information, and soil information. First, we selected six map sheet with large areas and declining age class based on forest type map information. Then, we collected data such as forest type maps, growth coefficients, soil organic matter content, and soil bulk density of the estimated areas to calculate forest carbon storage. As a result, forest carbon stocks decreased by about 34.1~70.0% after forestry projects at all sites. In addition, compared to reference studies, domestic forest soils store less carbon than the above-ground, so it is judged that domestic forest soils have great potential to store more carbon and strategies to increase carbon storage are needed. It was estimated that the amount of carbon stored before forestry projects is about 1.5 times more than after forestry projects. The study estimated that it takes about 27 years for forests to recover to their pre-thinning carbon stocks following forestry projects. Since it takes a long time for forests to recover to their original carbon stocks once their carbon stocks are reduced by physical damage, it is necessary to plan to preserve them as much as possible, especially for highly conservative forests, so that they can maintain their carbon storage function.

본 연구는 구리화합물계 목재방부제로 가압방부처리된 난주입수종이 국내 지상부 목재사용환경에서 방부성능을 유지할 수 있는 조건을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 장기간(12년)의 지상부 야외노출시험을 통하여 방부성능이 입증된 방부처리 목재를 대상으로 목재 내부에 존재하는 주요 방부성 분인 구리의 분포 상태를 조사하였다. 구리 정색반응 결과를 살펴보면 변재는 대부분 균일하게 처리되었지만, 심재에서 구리의 침투는 목재 표면에 국한되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 심재에서 구리의 침투는 국내 방부목 표준규격에서 요구하는 심재의 최소 침윤깊이(8 mm)를 만족하지 못하였다. 그러나 기준을 만족하지 못한 방부처리 시편들도 우수한 방부효능을 가지고 있다는 것을 알 수 있는데 이러한 결과는 난주입수종의 적절한 활용을 위해 국내 규격의 보완이 필요하다는 것을 의미한다.

본 연구는 조경수의 우량한 묘목 생산과 굴취비용의 절감을 위해 지상․지중 용기재배가 종가시나무 4 년생 묘목의 생장에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 플라스틱 용기(상부 Ø19 × 하부 Ø13 × 높이 20㎝)로 묘목을 이식하여 활착시킨 후 묘포에 지중과 지상에 배치하였다. 시험구는 단일용기와 60g 부직포를 혼용한 2가지 처리구로 구분하였으며, A-type(노지묘: 대조구), B-type(지면용기), C-type(지면부직포용기), D-type(지중용기), E-type(지중부직포용기)로 배치하였다. 처리구별 묘목의 상대생장률을 측정한 결과 간장 10.96㎝, 근원경 0.06㎜로 D-type 처리구에서 가장 높은 생장을 보였 다(p<0.05). 건물생산량은 D-type 처리구에서 높게 나타났으며, 묘목 품질지수 또한 D-type 처리구에 서 유의성이 높게 나타나 생장이 가장 우수한 것으로 판단된다(p<0.05). 뿌리형태 특성을 분석한 결과 전체적으로 뿌리길이, 직경, 용적이 D-type 처리구에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 본 실험의 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 지중용기 처리구에서 묘목의 품질이 우수하였으며, 지중용기 재배에 따른 굴취비용 절감이 예상 됨으로 종가시나무 4년생 생산에 적합한 재배방법으로 판단된다.

Plants have evolved general and specific defense mechanisms to protect themselves from diverse enemies, including herbivores and pathogens. To maintain fitness in the presence of enemies, plant defense mechanisms are aimed at inducing systemic resistance: in response to the attack of pathogens or herbivores, plants initiate extensive changes in gene expression to activate “systemic acquired resistance” against pathogens and “indirect defense” against herbivores. Recent work revealed that leaf infestation by whiteflies, stimulated systemic defenses against both an airborne pathogen and a soil-borne pathogen, which was confirmed by the detection of the systemic expression of pathogenesis-related genes in response to salicylic acid and jasmonic acid-signaling pathway activation. Further investigation revealed that plants use self protection mechanisms against subsequent herbivore attacks by recruiting beneficial microorganisms called plant growthpromoting rhizobacteria/fungi, which are capable of reducing whitefly populations. Our results provide new evidence that plant-mediated aboveground to belowground communication and vice versa are more common than expected.

Background : The cultivation method of ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) has been introduced not only in the existing shading facilities but also in the cultivation method using the rain shelter house. In addition, direct seedling cultivation of ginseng is increasing in order to save labor. Ginseng cultivation area in the northern area is increasing with the disappearance of first planted field. Proper shading method in the northern ares is needed to grow direct grown ginseng using rain forest house. Methods and Results : Shading method using rain shelter house was Polyethylene film with layered polyethylene net 75%, blue-white duplicated PE film 85%, blue-white duplicated PE film 90%. Plant materials is 5-years-old Ginseng using direct seedling cultivation. In order to select proper shading materials of the rain shelter house in northern area, we investigated photosynthetic properties and growth of 5-years-old ginseng in rain shelter house. The temperature and humidity were slightly different between the traditional conventional shade facility and the rain shelter house, but the light intensity of the shading facility tended to decrease with the passage of time. The difference in shading method in rain shelter house was the highest at polyethylene film with layered polyethylene net 75%. As a result of the growth characteristics of the top part, 90% of blue-green double-sided film showed the greatest growth with 89.8 ± 1.5. The difference in top part between rain shelter house and shading facility is about 23 ㎝. Conclusion : Although the above growth characteristics of the ginseng shows this tendency, the root growth characteristics of the ginseng must be further observed.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of enhanced light transmission on plant growth, photosynthetic ability, and disease tolerance to leaf blight, anthracnose in ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, Araliacease family) during the early growth stage (April to June). The photosynthetic ratio, stomatal conductance, and stem diameter of plants grown under a shade net with 15% light transmission rate showed an increasing trend compared to the control plants (5% light transmission rate) although the growth of the aerial parts were not influenced significantly. Plant height, stem length, and leaf length of treated plants were not significantly different from those of the control plants. Root parameters, such as root length, diameter, and weight of treated plants increased significantly compared to the control. Yield performance (187.4 ㎏• 10 a−1) of treated plants was 55.5% higher than that of the control (150.4 ㎏• 10 a−1). Additionally, disease severity scores of treated plants were lower than those of the control plants, revealing higher survival rates. To retain high yield potential and enhance the level of disease tolerance in ginseng, we suggest the increase of light transmission rate during the early growth stage.

본 연구는 졸참나무의 건전한 1-1 조림용 묘목을 생산하기 위해 초기 묘고가 다른 묘목에서 적절한 단근의 강도를 구명하기 위해 실시하였다. 이를 위해 1-0 노지묘의 크기를 구분하여 단근(5, 10, 15 cm)을 실시하였다. 1년의 생육기간이 지난 시점에서 묘고를 비롯한 지상부 생장량과 주근 및 측근의 발달 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 지상부의 생장은 초기 묘목 크기와 단근에 의해 다양한 차이가 나타났으며, 측근의 발달은 묘목 크기에 따른 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 초기 묘고가 큰 묘목군에서는 15 cm로 단근된 묘목이 가장 우수한 지상부 생장량을 나타내었으며, 초기 묘고가 작은 묘목군에서는 15 cm와 10 cm로 단근된 묘목이 우수한 생장량을 나타내었다. 묘목 크기에 따른 생장은 초기 묘고가 큰 묘목이 작은 묘목보다 우수한 지상부 생장을 나타내었으며, 주근의 재생산량과 새롭게 발달된 측근의 수도 많았다. 하지만 측근의 길이 및 무게 생장은 작은 묘목이 더 많았다. 결론적으로 본 연구결과를 종합해 보면, 고품질의 묘목을 생산하기 위해서는 묘고가 큰 1-0묘를 생산하는 것이 다양한 장점을 가지며, 초기 묘고가 26 cm 이상의 큰 묘목은 15 cm로 단근하고, 초기 묘고가 24 cm 이하의 묘목은 10 cm로 단근하는 것이 가장 이상적인 단근길이라고 판단된다.
