Abstract

Forests within watersheds are essential in maintaining ecosystems and are the central infrastructure for constructing an ecological network system. However, due to indiscriminate development projects carried out over past decades, forest fragmentation and land use changes have accelerated, and their original functions have been lost. Since a forest's structural pattern directly impacts ecological processes and functions in understanding forest ecosystems, identifying and analyzing change patterns is essential. Therefore, this study analyzed structural changes in the forest landscape according to the time-series land cover changes using the FRAGSTATS model for the dam watershed of the Geum River upstream. Land cover changes in the dam watershed of the Geum River upstream through land cover change detection showed an increase of 33.12 square kilometers (0.62%) of forests and 67.26 square kilometers (1.26%) of urbanized dry areas and a decrease of 148.25 square kilometers (2.79%) in agricultural areas from the 1980s to the 2010s. The results of no-sampling forest landscape analysis within the watershed indicated landscape percentage (PLAND), area-weighted proximity index (CONTIG_AM), average central area (CORE_MN), and adjacency index (PLADJ) increased, and the number of patches (NP), landscape shape index (LSI), and cohesion index (COHESION) decreased. Identification of structural change patterns through a moving window analysis showed the forest landscape in Sangju City, Gyeongsangbuk Province, Boeun County in Chungcheongbuk Province, and Jinan Province in Jeollabuk Province was relatively well preserved, but fragmentation was ongoing at the border between Okcheon County in Chungcheongbuk Province, Yeongdong and Geumsan Counties in Chungcheongnam Province, and the forest landscape in areas adjacent to Muju and Jangsu Counties in Jeollabuk Province. The results indicate that it is necessary to establish afforestation projects for fragmented areas when preparing a future regional forest management strategy. This study derived areas where fragmentation of forest landscapes is expected and the results may be used as basic data for assessing the health of watershed forests and establishing management plans.

유역 내 산림은 생태계 유지에 있어 중요한 역할을 맡고 있으며 생태네트워크 체계를 구성하는 주요 기반 환경이다. 그러나 지난 수십여 년간 행해진 무분별한 개발사업으로 인해 산림 파편화 및 토지이용 변화가 가속화되었으며 본래의 기능을 상실하게 되었다. 산림 생태계를 파악하는 데 있어 산림의 구조적 패턴은 생태적 과정과 기능에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 변화패턴을 파악하고 분석하는 것은 중요한 인자라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 금강 상류 댐 유역을 대상으로 FRAGSTATS 모델을 통해 시계열적인 토지피복변화에 따른 산림 경관의 구조적 변화를 분석하였다. 토지피복 변화탐지를 통한 금강 상류 댐 유역 내 토지피복변화는 1980년대부터 2010년대까지 산림 33.12km2(0.62%), 시가화건조지역 67.26km2 (1.26%) 증가하였고 농업지역 148.25km2(2.79%) 감소하였다. 유역 내 산림 경관분석결과 No sampling 분석에서는 경관백분율(PLAND), 면적가중근접지수(CONTIG_AM), 평균 중심지 면적(CORE_MN), 인접지수(PLADJ)가 증가하였고 패치수(NP), 경관형태지수(LSI), 응집지수(COHESION)가 감소하였다. Moving window 분석을 통해 구조적 변화패턴을 파악한 결과, 경상북도 상주시, 충청북도 보은군, 전라북도 진안군 내 산림 경관은 상대적으로 잘 보전되어 있었으나 충청북도 옥천군, 영동군 그리고 충청남도 금산군 사이의 경계부와 전라북도 무주군과 장수군 인접 지역의 산림 경관에서는 파편화가 진행되고 있었다. 결과를 토대로 추후 해당 지역의 산림 관리전략 수립 시 파편화 지역을 대상으로 조림사업을 수립할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구를 통해 산림 경관의 파편화가 예상되는 지역을 도출할 수 있었으며, 유역 산림의 건전성 평가 및 관리계획 수립을 위한 기초자료로써 활용될 가능성을 기대할 수 있다.
