산불은 전세계적으로 발생하는 가장 주요한 재해현상 중 하나이다. 산불 감시나 산불에 의한 피해지역의 효과적인 관측은 피해 지역을 최소화하고, 효율적인 피해 복구 계획 수립에 매우 중요한 기초자료를 제공한다. 광학 위성 자료를 활용한 산불 피해지역 탐지가 널리 사용되고 있음에도 불구하고, 산불에 의한 연기 또는 구름 분포에 의해 종종 사용상에 제약이 있다. 본 연구에서는 2000년 4월 강원도 고성, 강릉, 삼척, 물진 지역에서 발생한 대규모 산불을 연구 대상지역으로 하여, 1998년-2000년 동안 획득된 RADARSAT-1 SAR 영상을 이용하여 산불 피해 지역 감시의 활용성을 연구하였다. 산불에 의한 산림 피해지역 관측을 위해 RADARSAT-1 SAR 영상의 후방산란관의 변화를 통한 변환 탐지를 수행하였다. 산불 피해지역에서 산불 전에 비해 산불 후에 획득된 RADARSAT-1 SAR 영상의 후방산란값이 증가하는 것으로 관측되었다. RADARSAT-1 SAR 영상으로부터 관측된 산불 피해 지역은 Landsat-7 ETM 자료와 현장 조사 자료에 의한 산불 피해 지역과 매우 상관성이 높은 것으로 관측되었다.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for preserving forest ecosystem with understanding forest wetland condition of Mt. Cheongok. It was found from this research that vascular plants of surveyed area were composed of 72 families, 167 genera, 209 species, and 2 subspecies, 27 varieties, 5 formae. totaling 243 taxa. Among the investigated vascular plants, Korea endemic plants were 9 species, rare plants 15 species, and naturalized plants 8 species, respectively. According to the occurrence frequency within the wetland investigated, obligate upland plants (OBU) accounted for 75.72% (184) among the total species investigated, wherea obligate wetland plant (OBW) were four species (4.65%). There were 26 of hygrophyte plants and 2 of emergent plants in the research area according to wet degree. According to habitat category, the most frequently occurred habitat was forest (136 species, 55.97%), and the others were in the order of meadow and shrubland (70 species, 28.81%), wet meadow (35 species, 14.40%), and aquatic environment (2 species, 0.82%), respectively. In the result of analysis of important value, Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Carex pseudosinensis was the highest as 22.17% and 10.40%. It was confirmed that the species diversity was relatively high. Shannon-Wiener's species diversity index was calculated as 2.507. Based on these results, long-term monitoring survey should be urgently needed for ecological restoration and recovery.

To evaluate damage status and necessities of repair works on the forest-side erosion control structures constructed from 1966 to 1986 in Korea, developmental procedures of erosion control structures from the standard unit-cost tables established by the Forestry Administration every year, existing counter-measures for disaster erosion control system administrated by the government organization and existing status of each structure at constructed site were investigated and analyzed integrally. About 10-15% of the constructed forest erosion control structures were required to be repaired as a result of the investigation. It is actually incapable of repairing the damaged forest erosion control structures caused by excessive run-off and floodings under the existing forest-side erosion control systems. Therefore, it is necessary to put regularly repair erosion control system that will be secured by national budgetary pre-allocation system. Especially, it is also necessary to frame a new system that repair erosion control works by national budget (central government) should be possible for any scale of damages in case of the erosion control projects for the disaster counter-measures. The results of this research could be adopted as important policy data for erosion control policy-making in forest-side in Korea.

Clear-cut followed by tree planting has been a conventional management practice in burned forests in Korea. Because this can considerably increase soil loss, hillslope treatments may be needed in order to improve soil stability at poorly regenerating areas. This paper reviews the effects of hillslope treatments, such as seeding, mulching and log erosion barriers, which have been applied to restore vegetation and conserve soil in burned forests in North America and Europe. Seeding has been the most common method for postfire restoration. However, the effects of seeding on vegetation cover and soil erosion are not clear and seeding with non-native species has been reported to inhibit regeneration of native vegetation. Mulching has been found to be effective at reducing soil erosion. However, this also can introduce non-native plant species and inhibit native plant regeration. Although studies on the effect of log erosion barriers are very few, it appears that log erosion barriers are effective in the period of little rainfall. Hillslope treatments for postfire restoration is not necessary for naturally regenerating areas and therefore, they should be restricted to the areas where regeneration potential is low and runoff and soil loss is considerable. Long-term monitoring is needed to assess the effectiveness of hillslope treatments on soil erosion, the introduction of non-native plant species and the inhibition of natural plant regeneration.

Monitoring of post wildfire provides important information for vegetation restoration. In particular, remote sensing data are known to provide useful information necessary for monitoring. However, there are insufficient research results which is monitoring the vegetation recovery using remote sensing data. This study is directed to monitoring post-wildfire vegetation restoration. It proposes a method for monitoring vegetation restoration using Sentinel-2 satellite data by compositing Tasseled Cap linear regression trend in a post wildfire study sites. Although it is a simple visualization technique using satellite images, it was able to confirm the possibility of effective monitoring.

This study was to clarify the effects of forest stand changes on hydrological components of evapotranspiration and discharge. The forest-hydrological experimental stations in Gwangneung and Yangju, Gyeonggido near metropolitan Seoul have been operated by the Korea Forest Research Institute since 1979 to clarify the effects of forest types and practices on the water resources and nutrient cycling and soil loss. The hydrological regime of the forested catchments may change as forests develop. The ranges of change may be different depending on forest types. Evapotranspiration can be estimated to 679mm, 580mm and 368mm in planted young coniferous (PYC), natural old-growth deciduous (NOD) and rehabilitated young mixed (RYM), respectively. The slope of the discharge-duration curve shows the capacity of discharge control in a specific catchment. The slope tended to be steeper in RYM than NOD, the better forest condition. The slope in RYM became more gentle as the forest stand developed. Forests can modulate peak flows through interception, evapotranspiration and soil storage opportunity. PYC and RYM showed 100 and 50mm of threshold rainfall for modulating peak flows, respectively. The deciduous forest did not represent sudden changes of peak flow rates to rainfall, even 200 mm rainfall Forest development in PYC may play an important role in modulation of peak flows because peak flow rates reduced after 10 years.

The author of this paper has participated for research on soil conservation and watershed management for two years as an associate Personnel at the Inter-American Institute for Co-operation on Agriculture (IICA-OAS), in Jamaica. This paper is fundamentally based on the author's experience of researches as well as the results of studies with the references cited. The island of Jamaica having $11,440km^2$ was divided into 33 groups of watersheds and eighteen watersheds were identified as severely disturbed areas of mostly upstream. There are approximately 164,000 ha of land in urgent need of rehabilitation and protection including a 36,900 ha of five watersheds first priority needed. A national programme of watershed management to conserve all the watersheds, particularly those inhabited by small farmers is urgently necessary.

As the development of national lands increase, the necessity to develop less favorable terrain also increases. It also becomes more difficult and complicated to provide access that is both economical and safe from contributing to soil erosion on roadsides and to londscape damages. Because of the increased and justified emphasis upon environmental degradation, proper stabilization of the cut-and bank slopes of roadsides, plant sites and building sites in Korea requires careful planning as well as execution of the constructions. All fill slopes should be compacted to a degree consistent with design standards and material properties. Drainage facilities should be provided to prevent damaging concentrations of surface runoff and to avoid high pore pressures in cuts and fills. All surfaces of cut-fill slopes should be revegetated with suitable species as soon as possible after construction. To stabilize the cut-fill slopes of highway roadsides should be considerded the factor of stabilization as well as landscape conservation especially. Such basic influences as the effects of vegetations on water balance of rain fall, on the control of surface erosion and on the surface slope failures are briefly discussed in the report.
