Abstract

We recorded the movement of wildbirds nine times at Hoam 1st Tunnel, Kkachisan Park, Deungneung pass to compare the movement between eco-corridor and neighboring crossing road from June to September, 2006. Among three areas, birds did not prefer the eco-corridor at pass type such as Kkachisan Park and Deungneung pass, however number of species and individuals were high at the eco-corridor at Hoam 1st Tunnel. Over 90m width and the slope location of eco-corridors can be beneficial for wild birds to enhance the movement along eco-corridors between isolated two patches. Average foliage volume under two meters showed the relation with bush nesters, and that from 7 to 8m had the highest relationship with canopy nesters. In Seoul city, target species should be considered at the construction of eco-corridors according to site characteristics, but Paradoxornis webbianus could be suggested as a main target species at eco-corridors. To enhance the movement of diverse wildbirds, we would implement that eco-corridors could be located at the slope area with the size of 1ha (over 90m width), eco-corridors could be planted and managed with the high foliage volume of shrub layer under twometers and canopy layer over 8 meters.

야생동물 이동을 위해 설치된 '생태통로'를 야생조류가 선택적으로 이용하는지 알아보기 위하여 서울시 호암1터널, 까치산근린공원, 덕릉고개 등 육교형 생태통로에서 '생태통로'와 '주변도로'를 이동하는 야생조류를 2006년 6월부터 9월까지 총 9회에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 3개 지역 중 까치산 근린공원, 덕릉고개 등 능선에 위치한 생태통로에서 야생조류는 생태통로를 선택적으로 이용하지 않았으나, 사면에 위치한 호암1터널에서 야생조류는 생태통로를 유의하게 높게 이용하였다. 생태통로의 폭이 90m 이상이거나 사면에 위치할 경우, 야생조류의 이동에 유리한 것으로 판단된다. 생태통로를 이용한 야생조류의 종 구성 측면에서, 관목층 둥지 조류는 2m 이하의 관목층 엽층량과 상관성이 있었고, 수관층 둥지 조류는 7~8m 엽층량과 상관성이 높았다. 야생조류 이동을 위한 생태통로는 대상지 입지 여건에 따라 목표종을 선정해야 하지만, 서울시의 경우 붉은머리오목눈이 등 관목층 조류를 대상종으로 선정하고, 다양한 야생조류의 이동을 위해서는 사면지역에 약 1ha 크기(폭 90m 이상) 생태통로에 2m 이하의 관목층과 8m 이상의 수관층 피도량을 높여주는 산림환경구조를 조성해주는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다.
