Pinus densiflora(red pine) stands in Korea have been faced with the serious threat by pine wilt disease caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (nematodes). It is not easy to early detect and prevent the infected trees because those cannot be visually identified during the initial phase of infection. Red pine is usually infected by B. xylophilus from May to July and can be just visually detected in October or November. While the infected trees are wilted, the spectral value of Near Infrared (NIR) is supposed to be decreased. Based on this phenomena, in this paper, the vegetation vitality change of infected trees was analyzed using vegetation indices. Spectral values of Red, Green and NIR had been acquired monthly by a portable NIR camera in the same place of red pine stands infected by pine wilt disease. It could be proven that the vegetation index, or vegetation vitality of damaged trees starts to decrease from June, in the early infecting phase.

지구온난화에 따른 이상기후현상을 해결하기 위해 인공위성영상을 이용한 식생의 변화유무와 특성파악이 중요하다. 특히, 인공위성의 근적외선 영역과 가시광선 영역을 이용한 정규식생분포지수는 식생의 활력도를 파악하고 변화유무를 판단하는 지표로서 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 최근 발사된 Landsat 8 OLI의 경우 정규식생분포지수에 영향을 주는 근적외선 밴드의 파장대역이 기존의 TM/ETM+ 위성의 근적외선 밴드의 파장대역보다 감소하였다. 또한 이러한 파장대역 변화에 의한 정규식생분포지수의 차이에 대해서 공식적으로 연구한 사례가 없다. 그러므로 본 연구는 Landsat 8 OLI 위성영상과 Landsat 7 ETM+ 위성영상을 식생이 활발한 여름철(9월)과 그렇지 않은 겨울철(1월)의 영상을 각각 취득하여, 식생, 도심지, 도로, 농경지, 나지의 5가지 항목으로 분류하여 각각의 정규식생분포지수를 비교해보고 상관관계분석을 시도하였다.

In this study analysis the status of land cover change and land degradation of Tuul-Basin in Mongolia by using the Landsat satellite images that was taken in year of 1990, 2001 and 2011 respectively in the summer at the time of great growth of green plants. Analysis of the land cover change during time series data in Tuul-Basin, Mongolia and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), SAVI (Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index) and LST (Land Surface Temperature) algorithm are used respectively. As a result shows, there was a decrease of forest and green area and increase of dry and fallow land in the study area. It was be considered as trends to be a land degradation. In addition, there was high correlation between LST and vegetation index. The land cover change or vitality of vegetation which is taken in study area can be closely related to the temperature of the surface.

FDB(Feature DataBase) attributes have been produced by using the resource data prior to the year 2002. Due to this reason, the attributes need to be updated to the up-to-date ones. In this regards, this study focuses on the way of finding areas whose attributes need to be updated. Forest and crop classes were chosen as target classes among FDB features. MODIS Landcover data and FDB are, first, compared to detect the changed forest and crop areas from 2001 to 2008. Then, vegetation vitality changes are analyzed using MODIS annual NDVI data. Based on the change detection and the vegetation vitality analysis, the index of area selection for updating FDB attributes is proposed in this study.

최근 북한지역에 발생한 홍수와 가뭄 등 심각한 자연재해의 원인이 악화된 식량난으로 인한 과도한 산림의 훼손으로 추정되고 있어 북한 지역의 산림 생태계에 대한 연구의 필요성을 더욱 확인하는 계기가 되고 있다. 위성자료로부터 얻을 수 있는 식생지수(NDVI)는 농작물, 초목, 산림등과 같은 중요한 식생자원을 모니터링 하기 위해 설계된 도구로 식생의 활력도를 정량적으로 표현할 수 있다. 또한, 식생지수는 개략적인 식생을 파악하는데 주로 사용되기 때문에 초기조사에 많이 이용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 개마고원지대를 포함하는 표고 1000m 이상의 한대림지대의 산림식생에 대해 9년(2000~2008)간의 시계열 MODIS영상에서 나타나는 식생지수의 생물계절 특징을 분석하였다. 식생이 성장하기 시작하는 시기(the beginning of the growing season)는 5월 9일 이후부터 5월 25일 사이의 기간으로 나타났고, 식생의 휴면 시기(the end of growing season)는 9월 14일부터 9월 30일 사이 기간으로 관측되었다. 이는 4월 초에 시작하고 10월에 사라지는 한반도의 일반적이 식생패턴보다 성장은 한달 늦게, 휴면은 한달 이르게 한다는 것이 확인되었다. 또한, 8월 초순의 NDVI 값이 9년 동안 계속적으로 가장 높은 값을 보여주고 있다. 이것은 개마고원지역 및 주변 한대림 지대는 7월 말에서 8월 초순에 식생이 가장 활발한 것을 의미한다. 9년 동안 전반적인 식생지수는 0.2~0.9 값을 보였고, 특이할 점은 9년 동안의 평균적인 NDVI 값에 비해 2002년의 식생의 활동이 봄에 빨리 개화하고 가을에 일찍 지는 패턴을 보였다.

This study was carried out to find out the way to build a comprehensive wetland ecosystem database using the technique of remote sensing and geographic information system. A Landsat TM image taken in May 17, 1997 was used for the primary source for the image analysis. Field surveys were conducted March to September of 1998 to help image analysis and examine the results. An actual wetland vegetation map was created based on the field survey. A Landsat TM image was analyzed by unsupervised and supervised classification methods and finally categorized into such 5 classes as Phragmites australis community, mixed community, sand beach, Scirpus trigueter community and non-vegetation intertidal area. Wetland basemap was developed for the overall accuracy assesment in wetland mapping. Vegetation index map of wetland vegetation was developed using NDVI(normalized difference vegetation index). The map of wetland productivity was developed based on the productivity of Phragmites australis and the relationship to the proximity of adjacent water bodies. The map of potential vegetation succession map was also developed based on the experience and knowledge of the field biologists. Considering these results, it is possible to use the remote sensing and GIS techniques for producing wetland ecosystem database. This study indicated that these techniques are very effective for the development of the national wetland inventory in Korea.

Agricultural drought is triggered by a depletion of moisture content in the soil, which hinders photosynthesis and thus increases carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations in the atmosphere. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between soil moisture (SM) and vegetation activity toward quantifying CO₂ concentration in the atmosphere. To this end, the MODerate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), an optical multispectral sensor, was used to evaluate two regions in South Korea for validation. Vegetation activity was analyzed through MOD13A1 vegetation indices products, and MODIS gross primary productivity (GPP) product was used to calculate the CO₂ flux based on its relationship with respiration. In the case of SM, it was calculated through the method of applying apparent thermal inertia (ATI) in combination with land surface temperature and albedo. To validate the SM and CO₂ flux, flux tower data was used which are the observed measurement values for the extreme drought period of 2014 and 2015 in South Korea. These two variables were analyzed for temporal variation on flux tower data as daily time scale, and the relationship with vegetation index (VI) was synthesized and analyzed on a monthly scale. The highest correlation between SM and VI (correlation coefficient (r) = 0.82) was observed at a time lag of one month, and that between VI and CO₂ (r = 0.81) at half month. This regional study suggests a potential capability of MODIS-based SM, VI, and CO₂ flux, which can be applied to an assessment of the global view of the agricultural drought by using available satellite remote sensing products.

The importance of monitoring and assessing the status of urban forests in the aspect of urban forest management is emerging as urban forest edges increase due to urbanization and human impacts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of vegetation condition of urban forest edge that is affected by different land cover types using $NDVI_{max}$ images derived from FSDAF (Flexible Spatio-temporal DAta Fusion). Among 4 land cover types,roads had the greatest effect on the forest edge, especially up to 30m, and it was found to affect up to 90m in Seoul urban forest. It was also found that $NDVI_{max}$ increased with distance away from the forest edge. The results of this study are expected to be useful for assessing the effects of land cover types and land cover change on forest edges in terms of urban forest monitoring and urban forest management.

지구 온난화에 따른 기후변화에 의해 동아시아 지역의 가뭄현상은 지속적으로 증가추세이며 우리나라도 최근 중부지방을 중심으로 봄 가뭄이 심화되고 있다. 특히 2001년 봄 가뭄은 기상관측 이래 최악의 가뭄으로 기록되었으며 이에 대한 피해원인 및 가뭄특성에 대한 다양한 연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 2001년 봄 가뭄을 원격탐사를 기반으로 한 위성영상 자료를 활용하여 분석하였으며, 다양한 파장대의 위성영상 반사특성을 이용하여 생성한 식생지수 및 지표면 복사온도를 가뭄분석을 위한 도구로 활용하였다. 또한, 가뭄의 지속기간이 짧고, 식생의 활력이 크지 않은 봄 가뭄의 특성을 고려하여 토지피복도, 임상도, DEM 등의 GIS자료를 추가적으로 활용하여 가뭄발생지역의 공간적 특성을 분석하였다.

Satellite image has capability of getting a broad data rapidly. It is possible that acquisition of change information about topography, land, ecosystem and urbanization etc. from multi-temporal satellite Images. In this study, the time-series change of vegetation has detected using four period Landsat Imageries. Also, NDVI was used to recognize the vitality of vegetation. Time series change of vegetation about study area was able to detect effectively by the results of classification and NDVI. It is expected that this study should be utilized as the decision making related to the effective management and plan establishment.
