Abstract

For the estimation of greenhouse gas dynamics in forests, it is useful to use a model which simulates both carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycle simultaneously. A forest C model, called FBDC, was developed and validated in Korea. However, studies on development of forest N model are insufficient. This study aimed to suggest a development process of a forest C and N model. We analyzed the general features, structures, ecological processes, input data, output data, and methods of integrating C and N cycles of the VISIT, Biome-BGC, Forest-DNDC, and O-CN. The structure and features of the FBDC were also analyzed. The VISIT was developed by integrating forest C model with a N cycle module, and the new model also could be designed by combining the FBDC with a N cycle module. The VISIT and Forest-DNDC could estimate soil $N_2O$ emissions, and the integrated model should include the processes shared by these models. Especially, the overseas models linked C and N cycles based on N absorption, C absorption, and decomposition of dead organic matter. Therefore, the integration of the FBDC with N cycle module should apply this linkage of structures between C and N cycles. Climate, soil texture, and species distribution data, which are essential for the model development, were available in Korea. However, parameter data associated with N cycle and validation data for soil $N_2O$ emissions need to be obtained by field studies.

산림에서 온실가스 동태를 모의하기 위해서는 탄소 및 질소 순환을 종합적으로 모의하는 모델을 활용할 필요가 있다. 국내에는 한국형 산림 탄소 모델인 FBDC 모델이 개발되어 탄소 저장량 및 변화량을 추정하고 타당성 검토도 진행된 바 있으나, 질소 순환을 모의하는 모델의 개발 사례는 부족한 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 문헌조사를 바탕으로 우리나라의 실정에 적합한 산림 탄소 및 질소 결합 모델의 개발방안을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 VISIT, Biome-BGC, Forest-DNDC, O-CN 등 모델의 일반적 특징, 구조, 생태적 과정, 입력 자료, 출력 자료, 탄소 및 질소 순환의 결합 방법을 분석하였으며, FBDC 모델의 구조와 특징도 분석하였다. 이러한 모델을 분석한 결과 기존의 탄소 순환 모델에 질소 순환 구조를 결합하여 개발된 VISIT 모델을 참고하여, FBDC 모델과 질소 순환 구조를 결합하는 방식으로 새로운 모델을 설계할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 그리고 새로 개발될 모델이 토양 $N_2O$ 배출을 모의하기 위해서는 질소 순환 구조에 VISIT과 Forest-DNDC 모델에서 공통적으로 모의하는 생태적 과정들이 포함될 필요가 있다. 또한 모든 국외 모델들은 임목의 탄소와 질소 흡수, 고사유기물의 분해 과정을 중심으로 탄소 및 질소 순환을 유기적으로 연결하고 있으며, 이러한 연결 구조를 FBDC 모델과 질소 순환 구조의 결합에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 한편 모델 개발에 필요한 기상, 토성, 수종 분포 등의 입력 자료는 국내에서 확보할 수 있으나, 토양에서 배출되는 $N_2O$에 대한 검증 자료와 질소 순환과 관련된 일부 파라미터 자료는 현지조사를 통하여 확보해야 할 것으로 사료된다.
