Abstract

This study was conducted to develop the growth model for diameter at breast height (DBH) and basal area (BA) of Larix leptolepis stands grown in eastern mountain areas, Jeollabuk-do and to enhance the precision of the models by adding regional and climatal factors, such as altitude, mean annual rainfall, and mean annual temperature. In results, it was analyzed that Schumacher polymorphic equation might be the best model to estimate DBH and BA growth. In case of the DBH growth model, precision was improved by adding altitude and mean annual rainfall. Moreover, in case of the BA growth model, precision was improved by adding mean annual rainfall. Meanwhile, it would be necessary for more precise model to add various factors, such as stand density, mortality, thinning ratio, and edaphic status along with regional and climatal factors.

본 연구는 전라북도 동부 산악지역 낙엽송 임분의 흉고직경과 흉고단면적 생장모델을 개발하고, 지역 기후 인자인 고도, 연평균 강우량 그리고 연평균 기온을 독립변수로 이용하여 모델의 정도를 향상시키기 위하여 수행하였다. 그 결과, Schumacher 다형방정식이 흉고직경과 흉고단면적 추정을 위한 최적의 모델인 것으로 분석되었다. 흉고직경 생장모델의 경우 고도와 연평균 강우량을 삽입하여 모델의 정도를 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 흉고단면적 생장모델의 경우 연평균 강우량을 이용하여 모델의 정도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 한편, 더욱 정도 높은 모델을 개발하기 위해서는 고도와 연평균 등 환경 인자와 더불어 임목본수, 고사율, 간벌율, 그리고 토양상태 등의 다양한 인자를 포함하는 모델의 추정 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
