Abstract

This study aimed to identify the insect diversity and forest in urban green space, which can determine the current status of the ecosystem and provide basic data and information required for conservation planning and sustainable use of the environment. For this study, we have surveyed insect diversity by habitat types in the botanic garden of Wonkwang University, Iksan, from September, 2010 to September, 2011. During the research period, a total of 209 species, 78 families and 10 orders were observed, including 10 exportable species, 1 species of Korean Red List, 2 climate-sensitive indicator species and 70 designated species. Among these taxonomic groups, Coleoptera (36.36 %) showed the highest diversity with 76 species, followed by Hemiptera (25.36 %) with 46 species, Diptera (11.48 %) with 24 species and Hymenoptera (7.66 %) with 16 species. As for the diversity by survey time, the largest number of species were observed in September 2010 (52 families, 105 species), followed by May 2011 (37 families, 87 species), July 2011 (50 families, 86 species), June 2011 (40 families, 80 species) and August 2011 (43 families, 73 species). Relatively low diversity was observed in September 2011 (38 families, 60 species), October 2010 (36 families, 52 species) and April 2011 (19 families, 29 species). As for the diversity by survey point, the highest diversity was observed in S4 (75 families, 186 species, 88.99 %), followed by S1 (41 families, 70 species, 33.49 %), S2 (41 families, 63 species, 30.14 %), and S3 (36 families, 59 species, 28.22 %). According to the community analysis, the survey area S4 (H'=3.344, RI=9.257) showed the highest numbers in diversity index (H') and richness index (RI) of insects and S1 (0.985) showed the highest species evenness index (EI). On the other hand, S3 showed the lowest numbers (H'=2.428, RI=4.307, EI=0.832) in every index. The insect fauna is closely associated with the plants and vegetation structure in the green space. Therefore, it is necessary to manage and maintain the urban green space to make it similar to the natural environment.

본 연구는 오늘날 급속한 도시화로 인하여 도시환경이 악화되어 감에 따라 이를 완화시켜줄 수 있는 역할을 할 수 있는 도시 녹지공간의 곤충다양성을 확인하여 생태계 현황을 밝히고 보전 대책 수립과 지속가능한 이용에 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 익산시 원광대학교 녹지공간의 곤충류를 대상으로 2010년 9월부터 2011년 9월까지 조사하였다. 조사 결과 국외반출승인대상종 10종, 한국적색목록 1종, 기후변화생물지표종 2종과 특정종 70종을 포함하여 총9목 78과 209종의 주요 곤충자원 분포를 확인하였으며, 분류군별 종 다양성은 딱정벌레목이 23과 76종(36.36%)으로 가장 높고, 노린재목 138과 53종(25.36%), 파리목 8과 24종(11.48%), 벌목 7과 16종(7.66%) 등의 순으로 나타났다. 조사시기별 종 다양성은 2010년 9월에 52과 105종으로 가장 높고, 2011년 5월(37과 87종), 2011년 7월(50과 86종), 2011년 6월(40과 80종), 2011년 8월(43과 73종) 등의 순으로 다양도가 높았으며, 2011년 9월(38과 60종), 2010년 10월(36과 52종), 2011년 4월(19과 29종)이 상대적으로 종 다양성이 낮게 나타났다. 또한 조사지점별 종 다양성은 S4(75과 186종, 88.99%)에서 가장 다양한 종의 서식을 확인하였고, S1(41과 70종, 33.49%), S2(41과 63종, 30.14%), S3(36과 59종, 28.22%) 등의 순으로 조사되었다. 군집분석 결과, 종다양도지수(H')와 종풍부도지수(RI)는 S4(H'=3.344, RI=9.257)가 가장 높고, 종균등도지수(EI)는 S1(0.935)이 가장 높게 나타났다. 반면 S3(H'=2.428, RI=4.307, EI=0.832)은 모든 지수에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 이처럼 곤충들은 녹지공간의 식물과 식생구조와 연관되어 출현하고 있어 도시 녹지공간이 자연환경과 비슷한 환경이 유지되도록 하는 관리가 필요하다.
