Abstract

According to the IPCC guideline (2006), uncertainty assessment is very important in terms of the greenhouse gas inventory. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to estimate the basic wood density (BWD) and its uncertainty for Pinus densiflora in Korea. In this study, Pinus densiflora forests were divided into two ecotypes which were Gangwon and Jungbu regions. A total of 33 representative sampling plots was selected to collect sample trees after considering the tree ages and DBH distributions. The BWD showed statistically no difference between age classes based on IPCC's classification. While, it showed statistically difference(pvalue=0.0017) between eco-types. The BWD and uncertainty was 0.396(g/$cm^3$) and 12.9(%) for Pinus densiflora in Gangwon, while it was 0.470(g/$cm^3$) and 3.8(%) for Pinus densiflora in Jungbu. The values of the BWD uncertainty for Pinus densiflora were more precised than the values given by the IPCC guideline.

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 대표 수종인 소나무(Pinus densiflora)의 정확한 용적밀도(Basic wood density)를 산출하고, 용적밀도의 불확도(Uncertainty)를 평가하는데 있다. 소나무림의 지역적인 분포 차이를 고려하여 강원지방 소나무와 중부지방소나무로 구분하였으며, 전국적으로 총 33개소의 조사구를 선정한 후, 각 조사구를 대표하는 표본목을 채취하여 분석하였다. 용적밀도의 경우, IPCC 기준임령에 따른 20년생 이전의 유령림과 21년생 이후의 성숙림 간에 통계적인 유의성이 나타나지 않은 반면, 강원지방소나무와 중부지방소나무간의 지역적인 차이에서는 통계적인 유의성(p-value=0.0017)이 나타났다. 강원지방소나무의 용적밀도와 불확도는 0.396(g/$cm^3$)과 12.9(%)로 산출된 반면에, 중부지방소나무는 각각 0.470(g/$cm^3$)과 3.8(%)로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 소나무의 용적밀도에 대한 불확도는 IPCC(2006)가 권장하는 불확도의 범위보다 훨씬 더 정밀한 값을 나타내었다.
