We measured radial growth of Cryptomeria japonica and Chamaecyparis obtusa growing in Gangneung, Boseong, Yangsan and Ulleung-do, respectively and analyzed its relationship with temperature and precipitation. We found from the result of tree ring counting that forest stands of Cryptomeria japonica in Gangneung and Boseong was 40 to 50 years old and 50 to 70 years old in Yangsan and Ulleung-do. According to climate change, the mean temperature in Gangneung was found to be $12^{\circ}C$ to $13^{\circ}C$ which was similar to that of Boseong and Yangsan 40 to 50 years ago. While the result of the radial growth measured from Cryptomeria japonica in Gangneung showed a slightly decreasing tendency compared to the other areas, Chamaecyparis obtusa showed an increasing tendency. In the case of Cryptomeria japonica, a strong negative correlation between radial growth and climate related variables including both mean temperature and mean precipitation existed in Ulleung. There was a strong negative correlation between radial growth and mean temperature for Chamaecyparis obtusa in Yangsan, although there was a positive correlation in Gangneung and Yangsan.

Cryptomeria japonica pollen is the most common pollen, which are scattering during each spring season in Japan. Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollinosis is one of seasonal allergic rhinitis that mainly occurs in Japan. In addition, long range transportation of Yellow Sand from the East Asian continent was also found during the pollen scattering seasons in Japan. Therefore, the interaction or impact between pollen and Yellow Sand should be concerned. In this study, our objective was to investigate the airborne behaviour of Cryptomeria japonica pollen grains and its size-segregated allergenic (Cry j 1) particles as the airborne tracer of Cryptomeria japonica pollen during the Yellow Sand events. Airborne Cryptomeria japonica pollen grains and its size-segregated allergenic particles were collected at roadside of urban residential zones of Saitama city during the pollination periods from February to March in two year investigation of 2009 and 2010. The overlap of Yellow Sand events and dispersal peak of pollen grains was observed. According to the Meteorological data, we found that the peaks of airborne pollen grains appeared under higher wind speed and temperature than the previous day. It was thought that Yellow Sand events and airborne pollen counts were related to wind speed. From the investigation of the airborne behavior of the size-segregated allergen particles by determining Cry j 1 with Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), the higher concentrations of the allergenic Cry j 1 were detected in particle size equal to or less than $1.1{\mu}m$($PM_{1.1}$) than other particle sizes during Yellow Sand events, especially in the rainy day. We conclude that rainwater trapping Yellow Sand is one of the important factors that affect the release of allergenic pollen species of Cry j 1. Therefore, it is very important to clarify the relationships between Cryptomeria japonica pollen allergenic species and chemical contents of the Yellow Sand particles in further studies.

The purpose of this study is to estimate height growth patterns and site index cuties (base index age 50 years) for Japanese red cedar trees(Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) grown in southern regions of Korea. The Chapman-Richards growth function was selected for stand height prediction using on the results of stem analysis data sets. Anamorphic base age invariant site index cuties were presented based on this height prediction equation. The resulting site index prediction equation can provide an indication of the productivity of the site quality based on Japanese red cedar trees plantation ages planted in southern regions of Korea.

The antimicrobial effect of the wood vinegar of C. japanica sapwood and its constituents was evaluated against Ralstonia salanacearum, Phytophthora capsid, Fusarium oxysporum, and Pythium splendens. Phenols and guaiacols had a strong antimicrobial effect against four kinds of microorganisms, but methanol and acetic acid exhibited little or no antimicrobial activity.

제주도(濟州道)에 식재(植載)된 삼나무에 대(對)한 엽형(葉型)을 분류(分類)하고 생장특성(生長特性)을 조사(調査)함과 동시에 일본각지(日本各地)의 천연생(天然生) 삼나무와의 유사성(類似性)에 대(對)하여 비교검토(比較檢討)하였다. 제주도(濟州道) 삼나무의 엽형(葉型)은 총(總) 9개형(個型)으로 대별(大別)할 수 있으며, 각조사구(各調査區)에서 6개형(個型) 이상(以上)의 엽형출현(葉型出現)으로, 여러 계통(系統)이 혼재(混在)하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 일본(日本)의 Ura(이(裏)) 계통(系統) 삼나무의 형태(形態)를 한 엽형(葉型), 즉 침엽각도(針葉角度) 중용이하(中庸以下), 만곡도(灣曲度), 침엽장(針葉長)이 작은 형(型)(각각(各各) $28^{\circ}$ 미만(未滿), 3.2~8.9, 7.3~12.8 mm)의 개체(個體)가 수고생장(樹高生長)에서 우세(優勢)함을 나타내었다. 이러한 개체(個體)를 지위(地位)가 좋은 곳에 조림육성(造林育成)할 경우 임지생산력(林地生産力)의 증대(增大)를 기대(期待)할 수 있다고 추찰(推察)되었다.

본 연구는 우리나라 삼나무의 생장 및 수확량 평가와 탄소저장 및 흡수량을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 조사구는 전남, 경남 및 제주지역에 정상적으로 생육하는 삼나무 집단지에서 총 106개 표준지를 선정(이상치를 제외한 92개소 이용)하였다. 그리고 분석을 위하여 Weibull 직경분포 모델을 적용시켰다. 직경분포 추정을 위하여 흉고직경, 흉고단면적, 수고 등 생장인자별 생장 추정식을 도출하고, 이들에 대한 적합성을 검증하였다. 그리고 삼나무에 대한 지역별 임지생산력을 파악할 수 있는 지위지수를 Schumacher 모델로서 개발하였으며, 지위지수 추정의 기준임령은 30년으로 정하였다. 우리나라 삼나무의 지위지수 범위는 10~16에 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 기준으로 임분수확표를 조제하였다. 임분수확표 지위 14에 의하면, 25년생일 때 연평균생장량(MAI)이 $7.6m^3/ha$인 것으로 나타나며, 임목축적 $190.1m^3/ha$이 될 것으로 예측되었다. 이는 편백보다 $20m^3$ 정도 높은 값이었다. 그리고 삼나무의 연간 탄소흡수량은 임령 25년에 2.14 tC/ha/yr, $7.83tCO_2/ha/yr$으로 최대값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 타 침엽수와 비교해 보면, 편백($7.5tCO_2/ha/yr$)보다는 약간 높은 수준이나, 잣나무 $10.4tCO_2/ha/yr$, 낙엽송 $11.2tCO_2/ha/yr$ 보다는 낮은 수치였다. 이러한 연구결과를 기반으로 삼나무의 생장 정보 활용 뿐만아니라 목재로서의 이용을 제고할 수 있는 방안 마련이 필요하다고 사료된다.

We conduct economic analysis of the snow damage on sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) forest stands in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. We utilize a single tree and distant independent growth simulator called "Silv-Forest." With this growth simulator, we developed an optimization model by dynamic programming, called DP-Silv (Dynamic Programming Silv-Forest). The MS-PATH (multiple stage projection alternative technique) algorithm was embedded as a searching algorithm of dynamic programming. The height / DBH ratio was used to constrain the thinning regime for snow damage protection. The optimal rotation age turned out to be 65 years for the non-restricted case, while it was 50 years for the restricted case. The difference in NPV of these two cases as the induced costs ranged from 179,867 to 1,910,713yen/ha over the rotation age of 20 to 75 years. Under the optimal rotation of 65 years, the cost became 914,226 yen/ha. The estimated annual payment based on the difference in NPV, was from 9,869 yen/ha/yr to 85,900 yen/ha/yr. All in all, 10,000 yen/ha/yr to 20,000 yen/ha/yr seems to cover the payment from the rotation age of 35 to 75 years.

This study was conducted to develop allometric equations and to determine the stem density and biomass expansion factor (BEF) for the estimation of the aboveground and belowground biomass of Cryptomeria japonica in Jeju Island, Korea. A total of 18 trees were harvested from the 40-year-old C. japonica stands in Hannam experimental forest, Jeju Island. The mean biomass of the C. japonica was $50.4Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in stem wood, $23.1Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in root, $9.6Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in branch, $4.6Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in needle and $4.3Mg\;ha^{-1}$ in stem bark. The diameter at breast height (DBH) was selected as independent variable for the development of allometric equations. To evaluate the performance of these equations, coefficient of determination ($R^2$) and root mean square error (RMSE) were used and results of the evaluation showed that $R^2$ ranged from 71% (root biomass equation) to 96% (aboveground biomass equation) and the RMSE ranged from 0.10 (aboveground biomass equation) to 0.33 (root biomass equation). The mean stem density of C. japonica was $0.37g\;cm^{-3}$ and the mean aboveground BEF was $1.28g\;g^{-1}$. Furthermore, the ratio of the root biomass to aboveground biomass was 0.32.

This study was conducted to provide data and stem information to establish a local volume table of Cryptomeria japonica in Jeju Island. Stem analysis was performed on 26 trees by selecting two average trees from each site of the 13 plots of C. japonica stands in 2021 and 2022. During the analysis stage, one outlier tree was rejected, and a total of 260 observations of the specific stem height of 25 trees were used. Of the seven major taper equation models applied for parameter estimation and statistical verification, the Muhairwe 1999 model was found to be the best fit and selected as the optimal model. Stem shape-related estimates were acquired through the selected model, and sectional measurements according to the Smalian formula applied at an interval of 10 cm from the height of the stem were used to develop a volume table. A paired t-test comparison between the C. japonica volume obtained from the present study and those selected from the current yield table by NIFoS(2020), revealed significant differences (p<0.05), highlighting the necessity of a local volume table for C. japonica in Jeju Island.
