Abstract

This study explored agroforestry strategies to achieve ecological and economic effects simultaneously for Elsentasarhai region in Mongolia under desertification, based on attitude survey with a questionnaire, field survey on planting sites, and literature review. The agrosilvopastoral approach was suggested as a type of agroforestry practices which combined tree planting for combatting desertification and wind damage to crops, agricultural crop production for income improvement, and livestock raising, a major industry in the study region. Populus sibirica and Ulmus pumila native to desert regions were selected for tree planting, and Hippophae rhamnoides, potato, and fodder appropriate for the short growing season were chosen for income crop production, reflecting residents' attitudes and growth environments. As a strategy of land allocation to satisfy multiple effects of the agrosilvopastoral approach, the alley cropping technique was recommended which arranged alternately strips of trees as windbreaks and income crops in multiple rows. The study also explored desirable planting techniques to improve conditions of income crop production and tree growth against drought and strong winds in the alley cropping. Study results will be useful as fundamental information to implement sustainable agroforestry in Mongolia and other semi-arid regions where knowledge concerned is lacking.

본 연구는 사막화가 진행 중인 몽골의 엘센타사라이 지역을 중심으로, 주민 설문조사, 조림지 현장답사, 관련 문헌고찰 등을 통해 환경생태적 및 경제적 효과를 동시에 달성할 산림농업의 전략을 모색하였다. 산림농업의 접근유형은 사막화 및 작물 풍해를 방지하기 위한 방풍조림, 소득자원 생산을 위한 농경, 대상지역의 주 산업인 축산 등을 함께 배합하는 농림축혼업을 제안하였다. 주민의견과 생육환경을 반영하여, 조림수종은 사막지대의 자생종인 시베리아포플러와 비술나무를, 경제작목은 짧은 생장기간에 재배 및 수확이 가능한 갈매보리수, 감자, 사료작물 등을 각각 선정하였다. 농림축혼업의 다목적 효과를 충족시킬 토지배분 전략으로서, 다열의 방풍용 수목과 소득용 작물을 교호 대상으로 배식하는 간작기법을 권장하였다. 아울러 강풍과 건조에 대응하여, 경제작목 생산 및 수목생장의 조건을 함께 개선하기 위한 간작 시스템 관련 바람직한 식재기법을 모색하였다. 본 결과는 관련 연구가 미흡한 몽골은 물론 유사한 환경의 반건조지역에서, 지속가능한 산림농업을 추진하기 위한 유용한 기반정보가 될 것으로 기대한다.
