Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the relationship between tree-ring growth of Quercus acutissima and climatic variables by dendroclimatological method. Annual tree-ring growth data of Quercus acutissima collected by the $5^{th}$ National Forest Inventory (NFI5) were organized to analyze the spatial distribution of the species growth pattern. To explain the relationship between tree-ring growth of Quercus acutissima and climatic variables, monthly temperature and precipitation data from 1950 to 2010 were compared with tree-ring growth data for each county. When tree-ring growth data were analyzed through cluster analysis based on similarity of climatic conditions, four clusters were identified. In addition, index chronology of Quercus acutissima for each cluster was produced through cross-dating and standardization procedures. The adequacy of index chronologies was tested using basic statistics such as mean sensitivity, auto correlation, signal to noise ratio, and expressed population signal of annual tree-ring growth. Response function analysis was conducted to reveal the relationship between tree-ring growth and climatic variables for each cluster. The results of this study are expected to provide valuable information necessary for estimating local growth characteristics of Quercus acutissima and for predicting changes in tree growth patterns caused by climate change.

본 연구는 연륜연대학적 방법을 적용하여 상수리나무의 연륜생장과 기후인자와의 관계분석을 실시하기 위해 수행하였다. 이를 위해 2006년부터 2010년까지 실시된 제5차 국가산림자원조사의 임목조사 자료에 포함된 연륜생장 자료를 활용하였다. 연륜생장과 기후인자와의 관계를 구명하기 위해 월평균 기온과 월강수량 자료를 연도별로 정리한 후 연륜생장 자료를 수집된 시군별로 분류하여 정리하였다. 상수리나무가 분포하는 지역에 대한 기후조건의 유사성에 근거하여 연륜생장 자료의 군집분석을 실시한 결과 4개의 군집으로 분석되었다. 또한 크로스데이팅과 표준화를 실시하여 상수리나무의 군집별 지표연대기를 작성한 후 기초통계량을 산출하여 지표연대기의 적합성을 검정하였으며, 군집별 연륜생장과 기후인자와의 관계 구명을 위해 반응함수 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 상수리나무의 연륜생장과 기후인자 간의 통계적인 분석결과를 기반으로 기후변화에 따른 중장기 생장변화의 예측에 필요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
