Abstract

This study was conducted to estimate forest site productivity and productive areas of Quercus acutissima and Quercus mongolica using environmental factors including climatic variables. Using the data set from digital forest site map and forest climatic map, a total of 42 environmental variables were regressed on site index for developing the best site index equations for Quercus acutissima and Quercus mongolica. Five to six environmental factors by species were selected as independent variables in the best site index equations. For the site index equations, three evaluation statistics (i.e., mean difference, standard deviation of difference, and standard error of difference) were applied to the test data set for the validation of the results, The site index equations fitted well to the test data set with relatively low bias and variation. As a result, it was concluded that the site index equations by species were well capable of estimating site quality. Finally, based on the site index equations, the productive areas by species were estimated by applying GIS technique to the digital forest maps. In addition, the distribution of productive areas by species was illustrated.

우리나라의 자생 활엽수종 중에서 상수리나무와 신갈나무는 분포면적이나 자원으로서의 잠재적 효용성을 고려할 때 매우 중요한 수종이다. 본 연구는 다양한 환경인자를 독립변수로 하는 상수리나무와 신갈나무의 지위지수 추정식을 개발하고, 이에 근거한 수종별 적지를 추정하기 위해 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 상수리나무와 신갈나무의 수종별 최종 지위지수 추정식은 모두 5~6개의 환경 인자에 의하여 지위지수를 추정하는 것으로 평가 되었다.수종별 지위지수 추정식에서 채택된 독립변수는 지형인자, 토양인자, 그리고 기후인자를 포괄하고 있어 임지생산력에 영향을 미치는 산림생태계의 특성을 비교적 잘 반영하고 있으며, 설명력을 나타내는 결정계수의 범위는 034~0.50인 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 임목의 생육에 다양한 입지조건과 생물환경 인자들이 복합적으로 작용하는 것을 고려하면 지위지수 추정에 큰 무리가 없는 것으로 평가된다. 이와 함께 본 연구에서 개발된 수종별 지위지수 추정식에는 그동안 반영하지 못하였던 기후인자를 독립변수에 포함시켰다는데 의의가 있다. 또한 본 연구에서는 수종별 지위지수 추정식에 근거하여 수종별 적지면적뿐만 아니라 적지의 공간적 분포를 파악하였다. 따라서 앞으로 기후변화시나리오에 따른 수종별 적지분포의 변화를 예측할 수 있는 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
