Abstract

This study suggested a citizen science based model to enhance the efficacy of the managing invasive alien plants and examined whose applicability in 3 Wetland Protected Areas (Jangrok of Gwangju metropolitan city, Madongho of Goseong in South Gyeongsang Province, and Ungok of Gochang in North Jeolla Province). The process consists of (a) collecting citizen scientist including local residents of 3 protected areas and piling up information on the 4 species of invasive alien plants (Sicyos angulatus L., Solanum carolinense L., Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and Solidago altissima L) in a information platform Ecological Information Bank (EcoBank) from September 18th to October 31th, (b) constructing distribution map containing the location and density (3 phases: individual-population-community) of target plants, (c) providing distribution map to Environment Agency and local government who is principal agent of managing invasive alien plants in 3 protected areas, and from whom (d) surveying applications of the distribution map and opinion for future supplement. As a result, citizen science based monitoring should be continued to complement the nationwide information for the field management of invasive alien plants with the expansion of target species (total 17 plants species that Ministry of Environment in South Korea designated) and period of monitoring in a year to increase the usability of surveyed information from citizen science. In the long run, effectiveness of the management of invasive alien species applied by citizen science should be reviewed including efficacy of field management process from citizen's participating in elimination project of invasive alien plants and time series distribution followed by the management of the species.

본 연구에서는 생태계교란 식물 관리의 효율성을 제고할 수 있는 시민과학연구 방법론을 제안하고 습지보호지역 3개소를 대상으로 적용성을 검토하였다. 습지보호지역 3개소(광주광역시 장록, 경남 고성 마동호, 고창 운곡습지 습지보호지역)를 대상으로 (a) 일대 거주민 등 시민과학자를 모집하여 2022년 9월 18일부터 10월 31일까지 생태계교란 식물 4종(가시박, 도깨비가지, 돼지풀, 양미역취) 자료를 국제생태정보플랫폼(EcoBank)에 수집하고, (b) 생태계교란 식물의 위치와 밀도(3단계: 개체-개체군-군집)를 수록한 분포밀도 지도제작 후, (c) 생태계교란 식물 제거·관리주체인 환경청과 지자체에 제공하였다. 이후 자료를 제공받은 환경청과 지자체에 (d) 생태계교란 식물 분포지도의 활용처와 향후 발전방향에 대한 의견을 수렴하였다. 그 결과 전국단위의 생태계교란 생물 현장관리 가이드를 보완할 수 있도록 시민과학자를 활용한 모니터링이 지속되어야 하며, 수집된 결과의 활용성을 높이기 위해서는 조사대상종의 확대(환경부 지정 생태계교란 식물 17종 전체) 및 변화상 파악을 위한 모니터링 시기의 확대가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 향후 시민참여에 의한 교란생물 조사·관리의 효과성에 대한 연구가 진행되어 생태계교란 생물 제거 사업 수행 시 시민과학자의 제거사업 참여로 인한 현장관리의 효율성, 시민과학연구모델을 접목한 제거 전후 변화상 추적 등 장기적 관점의 관리효과가 검토되어야 할 것이다.
