Abstract

The Bagan, the central part of Myanmar, is dry zone where the mean annual precipitation is less than 600 mm for the last ten years. Forest in this region has been degraded due to biotic and abiotic disturbances. While there have been various efforts to rehabilitate the degraded area, the information on growth and physiological characteristics of planting species and the impacts of planting trees in the region still lacks. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the growth and physiological water use efficiency characteristics of five species (Azadirachta indica A. Juss., Acacia catechu Willd., Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn., Acacia leucophloea (Roxb.) Willd. and Albizia lebbek (L.) Willd.) which are utilized as rehabilitation species in the dry zone and to identify the impacts of tree planting on microclimate change in dry zone. The growth and the foliar carbon isotope composition of seedlings and the above mentioned five species planted in 2005 were measured. And from February 2015 to January 2016, microclimatic factors air temperature and relative humidity at 60 cm and 2 m above soil, soil temperature, soil water contents and precipitation were measured at every 30-minute interval from the two weather stations installed in the plantation located in Ngalinpoke Mt. Range. One was established in the center of A. indica plantation, and the other was in the barren land fully exposed to the sunlight. Among the five species, A. indica and A. lebbek which showed higher water use efficiency could be recommended as rehabilitation species in dry zone. Planting trees in the dry area was shown to affect the change of microclimate with shading effects, declining temperature of the land surface and aridity of the air, and to contribute to conserving more water in soil by preventing direct evaporation and containing more water with fine roots of trees.

미얀마 중부지방에 위치한 바간(Bagan)은 지난 10년간 평균 연 강수량이 약 600 mm에 지나지 않는 건조지역으로 산불, 지역 주민의 방목 및 연료목 사용 등으로 인한 산림 훼손이 심각한 지역이다. 이에 훼손된 건조지의 복원을 위한 노력의 일환으로 조림 사업이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 첫째, 이 지역의 주요 조림 수종을 대상으로 수분이용효율이 양호하여 조림에 적합한 수종을 선발하고, 둘째, 조림이 해당 지역의 미세기후변화에 미치는 영향을 구명하는 것이다. 5개 주요 조림 수종(Azadirachta indica, Acacia catechu, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Acacia leucophloea, Albizia lebbek)을 대상으로 각각 1년생 유묘와 2005년에 이식한 11년생 성목의 생장을 측정하고, 양엽에서 추출한 탄소동위원소함량(${\delta}^{13}C$, ‰)을 분석하여 수종별, 생장단계별 수분 이용효율 변화를 분석하였다. 한편 조림이 건조지의 미세기상변화에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위해 Ngalinpoke 산지에 2005년 조림된 A. indica 숲과 전광 노출지를 대상으로 미세기상특성을 측정하였다. 2015년 2월부터 이듬해 7월까지 기온, 상대습도, 토양온도 및 토양수분 함량 등을 측정하였으며, 특히 조림에 따른 지표면의 복사열 차이를 구명하기 위해 지면으로부터 60 cm, 2 m 높이에서의 기온과 상대습도를 측정하였다. 위의 주요 조림 수종 중에 수분이용효율이 상대적으로 높은 수종은 A. indica와 A. lebbek였으며, E. camaldulensis은 수고 생장이 좋은 반면 수분이용효율이 가장 낮았다. 지상 2 m 높이에서는 기온 및 상대습도가 조림지와 노출지 사이의 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 토양온도는 두 지역간 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 지상 60 cm 높이에서는 기온 및 상대습도가 조림지에서 노출 전광지에 비해 낮았다. 한편, 조림지에서의 토양수분함량은 전광 노출지에 비해 월별 변동폭이 컸으며 2015년 10월에는 전광 노출지에 비해 약 4배 상승하였다. 결과적으로 이 지역에서의 조림은 지표 온도를 낮추고 지표에서의 직접적인 증발을 막아줌으로써 토양 내 수분 보존에 기여하는 것으로 사료된다.
