Abstract

This study was conducted to develop a habitat type classification system and its map based on the ecological characteristics of species, spatial type, vegetation, topography, and geological conditions preferred by species. To evaluate the relationships between species and their habitats in Korean national parks, we prepared a classification standard table for systematic classification of habitat types. This classification system divides habitats into 6 low-level and 59 mid-level ecological classes based on habitat structure. The mid-level system divided forest ecosystems into 20 subtypes, stream and wetland ecosystems into 8 types, coastal ecosystems into 7 types, arable land into 6 types, development land into 9 types, and 1 type of marine ecosystem. A habitat classification map was drawn utilizing square images, detailed vegetation maps, and forest stand maps, based on the above habitat classification system, and it covered 1,461 plots spanning 21 national parks. The habitat classification system and survey protocol, which consider domestic habitat conditions, should be further developed and applied to habitat assessment, to enhance the utility of this study.

국립공원에 서식하는 생물종과 서식지 간의 관계를 공간적 평가에 활용하기 위해 생물종의 생태적 특성, 공간 유형, 식생군락, 지형 및 지질 조건을 기준으로 서식지 유형 분류 체계를 개발하고 서식지 분류 지도를 제작하였다. 서식지 유형의 체계적 분류 및 판정을 위해 분류기준표를 제작하였다. 분류 체계는 구조적 서식지를 중심으로 6개 대분류로 구분하였으며, 중분류는 59개의 생태계 유형으로 분류하였다. 산림생태계는 20개, 하천 및 습지생태계는 8개, 해안생태계는 16개, 농경지는 6개, 개발지는 9개, 해양생태계는 1개로 분류하였다. 서식지 분류 체계를 기반으로 정사영상, 정밀식생도, 임상도를 활용하여 서식지 분류 지도를 작성하였다. 서식지 분류 지도는 21개 국립공원에 대해 1,461개 도엽으로 구축하였다. 본 연구의 활용성을 높이기 위해 국내 서식지 조건을 고려한 서식지 분류 체계 고도화와 조사 프로토콜을 개발하여 서식지 평가에 적용하여야 한다.
