본 연구는 환경인자를 이용하여 우리나라에 생태권역별로 분포하는 상수리나무의 지위지수 추정식을 개발하고 적지면적 및 분포를 추정하기 위해 수행하였다. 이를 위해 산림입지도와 전자기후도로부터 산림생산력에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되는 19개의 기후변수를 포함한 총 48개 환경인자를 도출한 후, 최적 조합에 의해 지위지수 추정식을 개발하였다. 최종 생태권역별 상수리나무의 지위지수 추정식에는 각각 4~6개의 환경인자가 독립변수로 사용 되었고, 지위지수 추정식의 설명력을 나타내는 결정계수는 0.30~0.41의 범위에 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 모형의 평균편의, 정도(精度), 표준오차의 3가지 평가통계량을 이용하여 검증을 실시한 결과 비교적 지위 추정능력이 높은 것으로 판명되었다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 개발된 생태권역별 상수리나무의 지위지수 추정식을 이용하여 적지면적을 산출하고 적지분포를 도해하였다.
This study was conducted to develop site index equations and to estimate productive areas of Quercus acutissima by ecoprovince in Korea using environmental factors. Using the large data set from both a digital forest site map and a climatic map, a total of 48 environmental factors including 19 climatic variables were regressed on site index to develop site index equations. Four to six environmental factors for Quercus acutissima by ecoprovince were selected as independent variables in the final site index equations. The result showed that the coefficients of determination for site index equations were ranged from 0.30 to 0.41, which seem to be relatively low but good enough for the estimation of forest stand productivity. The site index equations developed in this study were also verified by three evaluation statistics such as the estimation bias of model, precision of model, and mean square error of measurement. According to the evaluation statistics, it was found that the site index equations fitted well to the test data sets with relatively low bias and variation. As a result, it was concluded that the site index equations were well capable of estimating site quality. Based on the site index equations of Quercus acutissima by ecoprovince, the productive areas by ecoprovince were estimated by applying GIS technique to the digital forest site map and climate map. In addition, the distribution of productive areas by ecoprovince was illustrated by using GIS technique.
