To investigate the vegetation structure of mountain ridge from Suryeong to Sosagogae, 10 plots(500$m^2$) set up with random sampling method were surveyed. Three groups, Quercus dentata-Fraxinus rhynchophylla community, Quercus mongolica-Fraxinus rhynchophylla community, Quercus mongolica community, were classified by cluster analysis. Quercus mongolica was found as a major woody plant species in the ridge area from Suryeong to Sosagogae. Quercus dentata and Fraxinus rhynchophylla were occupied partly in lower elevation. Species diversity(H') of investigated groups was ranged from 1.7295∼2.6525 and it was similar to that of the ridge area of the national parks in Baekdudaegan. Rare and endangered species, Rhododendron tschonoskii recorded from the list of the Forest Administration distributed between the rocks on the top of the Sambongsan, the long-term habitat monitoring might be required.

최근 원격탐사기법을 이용한 많은 가뭄평가기법들이 개발되었으나 산림과 함께 산악지형이 우세한 우리나라의 경우 지형특성으로 인하여 가뭄평가시 불확실성이 증가하게 된다. 특히, 농업가뭄은 기후와 지표특성에 큰 영향을 받기 때문에 기후특성만을 고려한 가뭄지수는 실제 필요한 농업가뭄의 특성을 반영하는데 있어서 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후와 지표특성을 함께 고려할 수 있는 토양수분을 이용한 가뭄평가기법(Drought Assessment Scheme)을 개발하였다. 가뭄평가기법을 위하여 역추적기법(Inverse Modeling-IM) 기반의 자료동화기법(Data Assimilation, DA)을 이용하였다. 자료동화기법은 1-Dimensional (1-D) 기반의 토양의 물리적 특성을 고려하는 SWMI_ST 모형과 최적화 알고리즘(유전자 알고리즘, Genetic Algorithm-GA)을 연계하여 실측 및 위성기반의 토양수분자료로부터 토양의 수리학적 매개변수(${\alpha}$, n, ${\Theta}_{res}$, ${\Theta}_{sat}$, $K_{sat}$)를 추출한다. 본 연구에서는 LANDSAT(30 m X 30 m) 및 MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS, 500 m X 500 m) 이미지자료를 이용하여 시 공간적으로 분포되어 있는 토양수분을 산정하였으며, 이후 자료동화기법을 이용하여 LANDSAT/MODIS 토양수분자료로 부터 공간적으로 분포되어 있는 토양의 매개변수를 추출하였다. 추출된 매개변수, GIS 기반의 지표피복 및 기상자료를 이용하여 장기간의 토양수분을 산정 및 예측 할 수 있다. 고해상도의 이미지 자료를 사용하는 가뭄평가기법은 필지~시 군 단위까지 실제 우리나라 지형특성을 고려하여 효율적으로 가뭄을 모니터링 및 예측 할 수 있다.

각 기관에서는 가뭄상황을 모니터링하기 위해서 기관의 역할에 맞는 방식으로 가뭄지수를 산정하여 표출하고 있다. 국민안전처에서는 2016년 3월부터 부처간 협동으로 우리나라의 가뭄 상황을 기상학적 가뭄, 농업적 가뭄, 수문학적 가뭄으로 구분하여 행정구역단위로 주의, 심각, 매우심각의 3단계로 표출하여 활용하고 있다. 저류시설 등을 고려하여 가뭄지수를 도출하고 가뭄을 세가지 속성으로 나누어서 표출하는 것은 타당하지만, 동일한 행정구역 상에서 각 가뭄속성을 표현하는 것은 실제적인 가뭄상황의 판단과 적절한 전략적 대응을 위해서는 개선될 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 토지이용도를 기반으로 용수 이용 상황과 용수공급을 위한 사회기반시설을 고려해서 가뭄상황의 표현을 위한 구역의 재설정과 각 구역별로 적절한 가뭄지수의 적용 및 상황파악에 도움을 줄 수 있는 통계적 지표를 동시에 제공할 수 있는 프레임워크를 설계하고 이를 테스트베드를 대상으로 시범적으로 구현하였다. 산림이나 초지 지역, 관개시설에 의한 용수공급을 받는 논지역, 강수의존형 논지역과 밭지역, 광역상수도나 지방상수도에 의한 공급지역, 기타 생공용수 공급지역 등으로 구분하여 기상학적 가뭄, 농업적 가뭄, 수문학적 가뭄 상황이 동일 행정구역내에서도 서로 다른 값을 가질 수 있도록 하였다.

강원도는 산림 비중이 크고 급경사지가 많은 지형적 특성과 여름철 비교적 선선하고 강우량이 많은 기후적 특성 때문에 고랭지 농업이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 많은 부분을 차지하는 고랭지밭 면적 탓에 강우시에 토양침식과 비점오염물이 하천으로 유입되고 있다. 강원도 송천 상류에 위치한 도암호는 장기간 탁수를 저류하고 방류로 인한 해체 논란까지 일으키기도 했다. 이에 정부는 흙탕물 저감과 비점오염원 관리를 위한 국고보조사업과 다양한 환경 정책들을 시행중이다. 효율적이고 효과적인 수질 정책을 시행하고 분석하기 위해서는 장기간의 모니터링 자료를 이용한 통계적 분석을 활용하는 것이 중요하다. 수질 자료는 변동이 심하고, 비정규분포를 이루며 결측치와 검출한계 이하의 값들이 많아 비모수 통계 방법을 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그중에서도 계절적 특성을 갖는 수질자료의 장기경향분석에 적합한 Seasonal Mann-Kendall Test을 사용하여 남한강상류 유역의 수질 경향성을 분석하였으며, Sen's Slope를 구하여 수질 자료의 경향 크기를 구하였다. 하지만, Seasonal Mann-Kendall Test는 연구 기간동안의 경향성을 반영할 수 없다는 단점이 있기 때문에 LOWESS Test를 통해 장기간 수질 자료 사이의 경향성을 분석하였다. 이러한 수질자료의 경향 분석 결과는 유역 내 취약 지점을 확인할 수 있으며, 환경 정책의 효과를 평가하고 보완할 수 있는 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

The two reflective channels(red and near infrared spectrum) of advanced very high resolution radiometer(AVHRR) data were used to classify primary vegetation cover types in the Korean Peninsula. From the NOAA-11 satellite data archive of 1991, 27 daytime scenes of relatively minimum cloud coverage were obtained. After the initial radiometric calibration, normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) was calculated for each of the 27 data sets. Four or five daily NDVI data were then overlaid for each of the six months starting from February to November and the maximum value of NDVI was retained for every pixel location to make a monthly composite. The six bands of monthly NDVI composite were nearly cloud free and used for the computer classification of vegetation cover. Based on the temporal signatures of different vegetation cover types, which were generated by an unsupervised block clustering algorithm, every pixel was classified into one of the six cover type categories. The classification result was evaluated by both qualitative interpretation and quantitative comparison with existing forest statistics. Considering frequent data acquisition, low data cost and volume, and large area coverage, it is believed that AVHRR data are effective for vegetation cover type mapping at regional scale.

The purpose of this study was to identify and prioritize the key indicators and drivers of forest thinning. The research for this study was designed in two-phases: 1) sequential, exploratory, mixed methods research that was initiated with a qualitative phase (Delphi technique), and 2) the quantitative phase (Analytic Hierarchy Process technique). Results indicated that management and planning were the most important factors in the first level of criteria among the "management and planning," "directing and monitoring," "supervision," and "quality of thinning work." On the sub-criteria level, "the quality of forest management planning" was indicated as the most important factor among the ten sub-criteria. Our results have shown that the developed forest thinning evaluation factors were a well-represented characteristic for a variety of forest thinning work in Korea.

The objective of this study was to monitor vegetation recovery process after timber harvesting at (Mt.) Baekwoonsan Seoul National University Forests, Korea. Two monitoring plots were established in 1994 and woody plant were monitored in 1997, 1999, 2001, and 2003. Vegetation development pattern during last ten years (1994-2003) after timber harvesting were as follows; Styrax obassia, Styrax japonica and Lindera erythrocarpa as of the existing tree were competitive species in the first year after clear-cut, Styrax japonica and Lindera erythrocarpa as of sprout tree and Aralia elata as of seedling were dominant species in the sixth year after clear-cut, and Lindera erythrocarpa, Styrax japonica and Quercus serrata were dominant species from the eighth year to the tenth year after clear-cut. Species diversity index of harvested forest interior was decreased at the southwestern slope while it was increased in the northeastern slope till 6th year and decreased after the 8th year). According to DBH distribution pattern, No. of individuals of Quercus serrata, Styrax japonica and Lindera erythrocarpa showed high frequency in the southwestern slope, and Acer pseudosieboldianum, Styrax obassia, Magnolia sieboldii, Lindera erythrocarpa, and Aralia elata showed good growth in the northeastern slope. There was a difference between slopes in Basal area. It was decreased at the southwestern slopes during the 10th year continuously and it was increased the sixth year however, was decreased after the eighth year at the northeastern slope.

In this study, in order to examine the change of soil animals by vegetation restoration types, experimental sites with biotope restoration method, forest topsoil paving method, small diameter trees planting method and multi-layer community planting method were applied and the control site was selected. The naturalness of soil animals was analysed by studying the change of soil animals. It was confirmed that the control site has a high level of the naturalness of soil animals as it includes a mixture of fauna sensitive and insensitive to environment distributed widely over the site. The experimental site with biotope restoration method showed a similar level of the naturalness of soil animals as the control site. Furthermore, the naturalness of soil animals in the experimental sites with small diameter trees planting method and multi-layer community planting method also showed a progressive restoration although the level of the naturalness of soil animals is lower than the experimental site with the biotope restoration method. Therefore, it is confirmed that the experimental site with biotope restoration method shows a faster recovery of soil animal than other sites. This is because this method uses the portion of topsoil and subsoil that were dug from the intact forest during transplantation.

This study was carried out to compare stand structure and dynamics in Abies koreana forest in Yeongsil area of Mt. Hallasan between 2011 and 2017 by analysing DBH distribution, tree vitality, importance value (IV) and species diversity through the national long-term ecological research project conducted by National Institute of Environmental Research. As a result of DBH distribution, A. koreana decreased in all DBH class except 20-25 cm and the number of individual decreased by 16.3 percent from 780 to 655. As a result of tree vitality of A. koreana, the number of standing alive (AS) decreased by 16.2 percent from 652 to 546, while that of standing dead (DS) increased by 15.8 percent from 106 to 126 and that of fallen dead (DF) increased by 193.7 percent from 16 to 47, respectively. Importance value of A. koreana decreased by 2.4 percent point from 45.9 % to 43.5 %. Species diversity increased by 0.006 from 0.513 to 0.519. The weakening of the A. koreana in the Yeongsil area of Mt. Hallasan could be considerably supported by many aspects such as DBH distribution, tree vitality and importance value. Therefore, Long-term ecological monitoring and continuously research in that area should be conducted to clarify the effects of ecosystem changes.
