Clearcutting has been the dominant harvesting method in British Columbia (representing 95% of the total area harvested annually). However forest managers are increasingly recommending the use of alternative silvicultural systems and harvest methods, including various types of partial cutting, to meet ecological and social objectives. In this study we compared harvesting productivity and harvesting costs between treatments through detailed and shift level time studies in 300-350 year-old Interior Cedar-Hemlock stands in British Columbia, Canada. Recommendations for improving operational planning/layout and the implementation of clearcut and partial cutting silvicultural systems were made. Harvesting costs varied in the ground-based clearcut treatments from $10.95/m3 - $15.96/m3 and $16.09/m3 - $16.93/m3 in the group selection treatments. The ground-based group retention treatment had a cost of $13.39/m3, while the cable clearcut had a cost of $15.70/m3. An understanding of the traditional and alternative wood products that could be derived from the harvested timber was imperative to increasing the amount of merchantable volume and reducing the corresponding harvesting costs. Stand damage was greatest in the group selection treatments; however, mechanized felling showed an increase in stand damage over manual felling while grapple skidding showed a decrease in skidding damage compared to line skidding.

Social and scientific changes, i.e., global warming, desertification, pollution, biodiversity, bioenergy, plant variety protection, biotechnology, timber demand, reforestation in North Korea, and etc., were reviewed for new strategy of forest tree breeding in Korea. Diversified breeding goals, globalization of breeding target species, multidisciplinary research approaches, manpower networking, establishment of new administrative and research units in KFS and KFRI were proposed. Principles suggested for new tree breeding strategy are: 1) multi-disciplinary approach in settlement of objectives, breeding methods, and etc., 2) expansion of target trees including foreign species, 3) fulfillment of both domestic and international demands for forest tree breeding, 4) establishment of breeding program well-grounded on genetic resources conservation, 5) acknowledgement of breeding products (i.e., variety, technique, gene, and etc.) as goods, and 6) provision of more research opportunities for young scientists. Lastly, ongoing tree breeding project in Indonesia and NTFP R&D Center at the College of Forest and Environmental Sciences, Kangwon National University were introduced as examples of desirable breeding projects based on target species diversification, multidisciplinary approach, and manpower networking.

Level and distribution of genetic diversity in seven populations of Albizia lucida Benth. in eastern region of the Indian sub-continent were estimated using ISSR markers. Relatively higher level of genetic diversity within populations was observed in seven populations of A. lucida (mean of 0.38). From the result of AMOVA, majority of genetic diversity was allocated within populations (96.2%) resulting in a moderate degree of population differentiation. The observed distribution pattern of I-SSR variant among the populations was coincided with the typical pattern of long-lived woody tree species. Genetic relationships among the populations, reconstructed by UPGMA method, revealed two genetic groups. The population of Anugul and Bargarh turned out to be the most closely related despite a distance location between them. These formations will be of great value in the development of conservation plans for species exhibiting high levels of genetic differentiation due to fragmentation, such as indication of conservation unit size, which populations should be chosen as priority in conservation plans and which samples should be introduced in areas with a low number of individuals of A. lucida.

수도권매립지 주변 식재예정지와 식재지의 식재기반평가 토양항목 특성을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 토양물리성 중 용적밀도가 1.11~1.59 g･cm-3범위로 우리나라 경기도 지역 산림토양의B층 평균1.05g･cm-3보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 식재기반 조성 시 중장비 등의 사용으로 인한 답압 등에 의해 기인한 것으로 판단되며, 수목의 근계발달을 위해서는 개량방안이 강구되어야 할 것이 다. 토양화학성 중 유기물 함량은 조경수목의 식재를 위한 적정범위인 30 g･kg-1의 약 1/5~1/10정도 매우 낮게 조사되었다. 또한 양이온치환용량의 경우에도 1~3 cmol･kg-1범위로 조경수목의 식재를 위한 최소한의 함량인 6 cmol･kg-1에 비해 매우 낮은 수준으로 나타나 이에 대한 개량이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

The present study was conducted to analyze the soil environment of planted areas around Sudokwon Landfill Site, and drew conclusions as follows. Among the physical properties of soil, bulk density ranged between 1.11~1.59 g･cm-3, which was higher than the average bulk density (1.05 g･cm-3) of the B layer of forest soil in Gyeonggido, Korea. This is probably because of treading by heavy equipment used to prepare the ground for planting, and measures should be taken to improve bulk density for the growth of the root system of trees. Among the chemical properties of soils, the organic matter content was only 1/5~1/10 of 30 g･kg-1, the adequate level for landscape planting. In addition, cation exchange capacity (CEC) ranged between 1~3 cmol･kg-1, which was much lower than 6 cmol･kg-1, the least capacity for landscape planting. Therefore, these problems need to be solved.

전나무 수형목에서 채취한 풍매종자 32가계를 이용하여 1994년 화성과 강릉 식재지에 차대검정림을 조성하였다. 15년생 때 수고, 흉고직경, 재적지수를 조사한 결과 전반적인 생장은 강릉식재지가 화성식재지보다 양호하게 나타났다. 강릉과 화성 식재지에서 생장특성에 대한 분산분석을한 결과 가계간에는 생장이 양호하였던 강릉에서 모든 특성이 고도의 유의차를 나타냈으나 화성에서는 유의차가 나타 나지 않았다. 반복간에는 화성에서 수고생장을 제외한 모든 특성에서 고도의 유의차가 나타났다.그러나 가계×반복 상호작용에서는 강릉에서 흉고직경과 재적지수에서만 유의차가 나타나지 않았다.또한2개 식재지를 종합분석한 결과는 수고를 제외한 모든 특성에서 지역, 가계간에 고도의 유의차가 인정되었다.그러나 지역×가계 상호작용간에는 유의차가 나타나지 않아 강릉과 화성 식재지에서 가계별 생장 양상이 유사한 경향을 보였다. 개체유전력은 강릉에서 수고가 0.485, 흉고직경이 0.611, 재적이 0.538로 나타났으며, 화성에서는 수고가 0.121, 흉고직경이 0.054, 재적이 0.080으로 추정되었다. 2개 식재지를 종합한 유전력은 수고가 0.204, 흉고직경이 0.326, 재적이 0.238로 추정되었다. 또한 모든 특성에서 개체유전력이 0.054～0.611로 가계유전력 0.089～0.723보다 낮게 추정되었다. 개량된 채종원산과 일반산 차대의 생장특성에 대한 실질적인 개량효과를 비교한 결과 선발된 수형목 차대들의 개량효과는 수고 2.5%, 흉고 직경 9.2% 및 재적 23.6%로 추정되었다. 클론의 50%를 선발하면,즉 생장이 불량한50%가 채종원에서 유전간벌되면 수고 9.5%, 흉고직경 17.0% 및 재적 46.8%가 개량되는 것으로 추정되었다.

Progeny tests of Abies holophylla were established with 32 open-pollinated families at waseong and Gangneung in 1994. Growth characteristics (height, DBH and volume index) were measured at the age of 15, showing that Gangneung site showed in general better performance than Hwaseong site. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the growth characteristics showed that there was a significant difference among families in Gangneung but not in Hwaseong, and Hwaseong site showed that DBH and volume index were statistically different among replications. At Gangneung site, family x replication interaction was significant in DBH and volume index. Based on the combined analysis of both sites, all characteristics except height showed highly significant differences between sites and among families. On the other hand, family x replication interaction was not significant, implying that growth pattern of families could be similar at Gangneung and Hwaseong. Individual heritabilities (hi2) at Gangneung were 0.485 in height, 0.611 in DBH and 0.538 in volume index, and the values of hi2 at Hwaseong were 0.121 in height, 0.054 in DBH and 0.080 in volume index, respectively. Based on both sites, hi2 was estimated as 0.204 in height, 0.326 in DBH and 0.238 in volume index. Individual heritabilities (0.054～0.611) were lower than family heritabilities (0.089～0.723) for all growth characteristics. Realized gain was estimated to be 2.5% in height, 9.2% in DBH and 23.6% in volume. When inferior families (about 50% of all families) are genetically thinned from a seed orchard, genetic gain would be 9.55% in height, 17.0% in DBH and 46.8% in volume.

가지치기 작업은 보통 묘목의 식재 후 수고가 6 m 전후일 때 1차 작업을 실시하고 수고 12~13 m 전후일 때 2차 작업을 실시한다. 옹이가 없고 통직한 목재를 생산하기 위해서는 도구나 기계에 의하여 가지치기 작업이 필요하다. 가지치기 작업방법에는 자동지타기를 이용하거나 동력 고지톱을 이용하는 등 여러 가지 방법이 있지만 본 연구에서는 가지치기 작업에 일반적으로 가장 많이 활용하고 있는 인력고지톱에 의한 가지치기작업을 조사하였다. 조사수종은 강원도 지역을 중심으로 분포하고 있는 소나무,잣나무,리기다소나무를 대상으로 하였다.조사대상 수고는 10~16 m 내외로서 가지치기 후 지하고의 높이는 6.2~6.7 m 내외로서 인력고지톱에 의한 가지치기 작업능률은 4~6 m의 작업높이의 경우 1본당 소나무 3.46분, 잣나무 5.06분, 리기다소나무 4.44분이 소요되었고, 1일 작업능률은 소나무 104본, 잣나무 64본, 리기다소나무 81본으로 나타났다.

The first pruning works of planted trees on forest area carry out when tree height reached at 6 meters. And the second works carry out when it grow to 12~13 meters of tree height. Pruning works are necessary for producing straight log without knar by tool or machine. Generally, the mechanized pruning works Self-propelled pruning machine, chain pruning saw and other tools are used in mechanized pruning works. However, manual pruning saw which is usually using pruning tool was for this study. To investigate the pruning works efficiency, Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis and Pinus rigida which were distributed in Kangwon-Do was surveyed. Height of surveyed the trees were 10~16 meters and its pruning works range were 6.2~6.7 meters of tree height. As results, pruning works efficiency of Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis and Pinus rigida were 3.14 min/tree, 5.06 min/tree and 4.44 min/tree, respectively. Also, possible pruning works of man-day for Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis and Pinus rigida was 104, 64, and 81 trees, respectively.

목질 바이오매스(wood biomass)를 효율적으로 분해하는 최적 배양조건을 확립하기 위하여 국내 침엽수4수종(소나무,낙엽송,잣나무,리기다소나무)의 목질바이오매스를 혼합하여 목분의 적정입도,배양기간,기질첨가농도별 균주의 균체외효소 활성을 측정하였다.연구 결과,혼합목분을 기질로 했을때 Fomitopsis palustris가 분비하는 균체외효소 활성은 효소 종류에 따라 기질농도,목분입도,및 배양기간 등의 배양조건에 따라 다른 효소활성 값을 나타냈다. 침엽수 혼합목분을 기질로 했을 때 대부분의 cellulase 분비를 유도하는 최적 조건은 목분 입도, 80~100 mesh, 기질 농도는 7.5%가 적정한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 최적의 목분입도 및 투입농도 조건에서 배양기간은 4~8주로 적절한 것으로 구명되었다.

Extracellular enzyme activities of Fomitopsis palustris were determined by the particle sizes, culture periods and concentrations of wood particle substrate which was mixture of 4 domestic coniferous woods, such as Pinus densiflora, Larix leptolepsis, Pinus koraiensis, and Pinus rigida. The results showed that the culture conditions had an effect on the secretion of most of the extracellular enzymes from Fomitopsis palustris in the mixed wood particle substrate. :The optimal culture conditions for enzyme activities were 80~100 mesh in wood particle size, 7.5% in concentrations of wood substrate, and 4~8 weeks in culture period.
