Biomass and Carbon Storage in an Age-Sequence of Korean Pine (Pinus koraiensis) Plantation Forests in Central Korea
This study examined the biomass and carbon pools of the main ecosystem components in an age sequence of five Korean pine plantation forest stands in central Korea. The C contents in the tree and ground vegetat...

Biomass Expansion Factors of Natural Japanese Red Pine (Pinus densiflora) Forests in Korea
Biomass expansion factors, which convert the timber volume (or dry weight) to biomass, are used to estimate the forest biomass and account for the carbon budget at the national or regional level. This study es...

Carbon and nitrogen storage in an age-sequence of Pinus densiflora stands in Korea
The carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) storage capabilities of Pinus densiflora in six different stand ages (10, 27, 30, 32, 44, and 71 years old) were investigated in Korea. Thirty sample trees were destructively harve...

Estimation of carbon storage, carbon inputs, and soil CO2 efflux of alder plantations on granite soil in central Korea: comparison with Japanese larch plantation
Alder is a typical species used for forest rehabilitation after disturbances because of its N2-fixing activities through microbes. To investigate forest dynamics of the carbon budget, we determined the abovegroun...

Physiological and chemical characteristics of field-and mountain-cultivated ginseng roots
Demand is increasing for mountain-cultivatedPanax ginseng (MCG) because its quality is considered superior to that of field-cultivated ginseng (FCG). However, MCG grows very slowly, and the factors that might aff...

Induction of adventitious roots and analysis of ginsenoside content and the genes involved in triterpene biosynthesis inPanax ginseng
Adventitious roots were produced directly from root segments ofPanax ginseng seedlings when cultured on an MS solid medium containing 3.0 mg L-1 IBA. Omitting NH4NO3 from this medium greatly enhanced both the fre...
