식생은 증발산, 강우, 토양 수분 등 다양한 수문기상 요인과 밀접한 관계가 있기 때문에 식생의 상태는 가뭄 발생 시 물 부족에 매우 큰 영향을 받는다. 가뭄에 따른 식생의 변화와 영향을 파악하기 위해서는 식생-기후의 피드백을 이해해야 한다. 식생과 기후변수의 상호관계를 묘사하고 결합 확률을 구성하는 것은 식생-기후의 피드백을 이해하는데 적절하다. Copula 함수는 모든 변수를 연결하는 이점을 가지기 때문에 다양한 확률 변수를 결합하는 강력한 접근방법으로, copula를 통한 확률론적 접근방법은 수문 기상 스트레스에 대한 식생의 반응을 효과적으로 조사할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 copula 기반의 식생-기후의 상호관계를 통해 가뭄 발생 시 식생이 받을 수 있는 영향을 정량화하고자 한다. 이를 위해 위성 자료를 활용한 식생건강성지수(Vegetation Health Index, VHI)와 위성관측된 강수 및 잠재증발산 자료를 적용하여 높은 공간 해상도에서 한국 전역의 식생 가뭄 가능성을 추정하고자 하였다. 강수 및 잠재증발산 자료를 통해 다양한 가뭄지수를 산정하고, copula 결합 이론을 기반으로 VHI와 가뭄지수 간의 이변량 결합 확률모델이 제안된다. 이에 조건부 확률을 적용하여 다양한 가뭄 시나리오에서 식생의 가뭄 가능성을 추정하고, 가뭄에 취약한 지역을 공간적으로 분석하고자 한다. 이를 통해 가뭄 스트레스에 따른 식생 변화와 생태학적 가뭄의 공간적 특성을 효과적으로 파악할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Drought is one of the major environmental disasters. Weather data, particularity rainfall, are currently the primary source of information widely used for drought monitoring. However, weather data are often from a very sparse meteorological network, incomplete and/or not always available in good time to enable relatively accurate and timely drought detection. Data from remote sensing platforms can be used to complements weather data in drought. Therefore, data obtained from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer(AVHRR) sensor on board the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites have been studied as a tool for drought monitoring. The normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)-based vegetation condition index(VCI) were used in this study These indices showed their excellent ability to detect vegetation stress due to drought. The results clearly show that temporal and spatial characteristics of drought in Korea can be detected and mapped by the VCI index.

The applications of NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) as a vegetation index has been widely used to understand vegetation biomass and physiological activities. However, NDVI is not suitable way for monitoring vegetation stress because it is less sensitive to change in physiological state than biomass. PRI (Photochemical Reflectance Index) is well developed to present physiological activities of vegetation, particularly high-light-stress condition, and it has been adopted in several satellites to be launched in the future. Thus, the understanding of PRI performance and the development of analysis method will be necessary. This study aims to interpret the characteristics of light-stress-sensitive PRI in shadow areas and to evaluate the PRI calculated by other wavelengths (i.e., 488.9 nm, 553.6 nm, 646.9 nm, and 668.4 nm) instead of 570 nm that used in original PRI. Using airborne-based hyperspectral image, we found that PRI values were increased in shadow detection due to the reduction of high light induced physiological stress. However, the qualities of both PRI and NDVI data were dramatically decreased when the shadow index (SI) exceeded the threshold (SI<25). In addition, the PRI calculated using by 553.6 nm had best correlation with original PRI. This relationship was improved by multiple regression analysis including reflectances of RED and NIR. These results will be helpful to the understanding of physiological meaning on the application of PRI.

The response of vegetation under the crop stress condition was evaluated using structural, biochemical, and physiological vegetation indices based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images and field-spectrometer data. A high concentration of herbicide was sprayed at the different growth stages of garlic to process crop stress, the above ground dry matter of garlic at experimental area (EA) decreased about 46.2~84.5% compared to that at control area. The structural vegetation indices clearly responded to these crop damages. Spectral reflectance at near-infrared wavelength consistently decreased at EA. Most biochemical vegetation indices reflected the crop stress conditions, but the meaning of physiological vegetation indices is not clear due to the effect of vinyl mulching. The difference of the decreasing ratio of vegetation indices after the herbicide spray was 2.3% averagely in the case of structural vegetation indices and 1.3~4.1% in the case of normalization-based vegetation indices. These results meant that appropriate vegetation indices should be utilized depending on the types of crop stress and the cultivation environment and the normalization-based vegetation indices measured from the different spatial scale has the minimized difference.

가뭄은 수개월, 수년 이상에 걸쳐 서서히 발생 및 지속되며, 식생에 대한 피해가 발생할 때까지 확실한 인식이 어렵다. 최근에는 기후변화로 인하여 가뭄의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 기상 이상에 따른 다양한 형태의 가뭄이 발생하고 있다. 미국에서 정의한 'Flash Drought'는 비교적 짧은 기간 동안 표면온도의 상승과 비정상적으로 낮고 빠르게 감소하는 토양수분으로 인하여 식생에 대한 극심한 스트레스를 유발하면서 광범위한 작물 손실 및 용수공급 감소 등에 대한 피해를 야기하는 가뭄이다. 국내에서는 Flash Drought에 대한 모니터링이 활성화되지 않았기 때문에 본 연구에서는 '돌발가뭄'이라는 새로운 정의를 제시하면서 토양수분, 증발산량, 강수량, 기온 등의 가뭄 관련 주요인자를 활용하여 국내에서 발생한 돌발가뭄 (Flash Drought)를 감지하고 분석하고자 하였다. 돌발가뭄을 분석하기 위하여 선행연구에서 제시한 가뭄 관련 주요인자 기준 유형, 증발산량 기반 가뭄지수를 활용한 유형 등을 활용하였으며, 지상관측자료로는 국내 76개 종관기상관측 자료를 활용하였다. 또한, 토양수분 자료는 GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) 위성영상 자료를 취득한 후 5 km 공간해상도 자료로 활용하였다. 가뭄지수의 경우 증발산 기반 가뭄지수 중 표준강수증발산지수 SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration), 증발스트레스지수 ESI (Evaporative Stress Index) 등을 활용하여 국내 돌발가뭄 유형에 대한 분석에 적용하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 아직 명확하게 정의되지 않은 돌발가뭄에 대한 유형별 분석 및 국내 돌발가뭄의 수문기상학적 특성을 분석하고자 한다.

The Republic of Korea reclaimed land to increase its food self-sufficiency rate, but the yield was reduced due to abnormal climate. In this study, it was hypothesized that rapid and continuous monitoring technology could help improve yield. Using the vegetation index (VI) analysis, the drought stress index was calculated and the drought stress for corn grown in Hwaong, Saemangeum, and Yeongsan River reclaimed tidal land was predicted according to drying treatment. The vegetation index of corn did not decrease during the last 20 days of irrigation when soil moisture rapidly decreased, but decreased rapidly during the 20 days after irrigation. The reduction rate of the vegetation index according to the drying treatment was in the order of Saemangeum>Yeongsan River>Hwaong reclaimed tidal land, and normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) decreased by approximately 50% in all reclaimed tidal lands, confirming that drought stress occurred due to the decrease in moisture content of the leaves. In addition, structure pigment chlorophyll index (SIPI) and photochemical reflectance index (PRI), which are calculated based on changes in light use efficiency and carotenoids, were reduced; drought stress caused a decrease in light use efficiency and an increase in carotenoid content. Therefore, vegetation index analysis was confirmed to be effective in evaluating and predicting drought stress in corn growing on reclaimed tidal land corn.

South Korea has been undergoing spring drought periodically and diverse researches using vegetation index have been carried out to monitor spring droughts. The strength of the vegetation index-based drought monitoring is that the monitoring method enables efficient spatio-temporal grasp of changes in drought events. According to the development of low resolution satellite images such as MODIS, which are characterized by outstanding temporal resolution, the use of the method is expected to increase. Drought analysis using vegetation index considered only meteorological factor as a cause that affects vitality of vegetation. But many indirect and direct factors affect vegetation stress, So many uncertainties are involved in such method of analysis. To secure objectivity of drought analysis that uses vegetation index it is therefore necessary to compare the method with most representative drought analysis tools that are used for drought management. In this study, PDSI and SPI which a meteorological drought index that quantifies drought and that is used as a basic index for drought monitoring and MODIS NDVI are compared to propose correlation among them and to show usefulness of drought assessment that uses vegetation index. This study shows changing patterns of NDVI and SPI 6-month are similar and correlation between NDVI and SPI was highest in inland vegetation cover.

Biopolymer is a versatile material used in food processing, medicine, construction, and soil reinforcement. 𝛽-glucan is one of the biopolymers that improves the soil water content and ion adsorption in a drought or toxic metal contaminated land for plant survival. We analyzed drought stress damage reduction in sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L. cv. Sodammi) by measuring the growth and major protein expression and activity under 𝛽-glucan soil amendment. The result showed that sweet potato leaf length and width were not affected by drought stress for 14 days, but sweet potatoes grown in 𝛽-glucan-amended soil showed an effect in preventing wilting caused by drought in phenotypic changes. Under drought stress, sweet potato leaves did not show any changes in electrolyte leakage, but the relative water content was higher in sweet potatoes grown in 𝛽-glucan-amended soil than in normal soil. 𝛽-glucan soil amendment increased the expression of plasma membrane (PM) H⁺-ATPase, but it decreased the aquaporin PIP2 (plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2) in sweet potatoes under drought stress. Moreover, water maintenance affected the PM H⁺-ATPase activity, which contributed to tolerance under drought stress. These results indicate that 𝛽-glucan soil amendment improves the soil water content during drought and affects the water supply in sweet potatoes. Consequently, 𝛽-glucan is a potential material for maintaining soil water contents, and analysis of the major PM proteins is one of the indicators for evaluating the biopolymer effect on plant survival under drought stress.

The intensity of crop water stress caused by moisture deficit is affected by growth and heat conditions. For more accurate detection of crop water stress state using remote sensing techniques, it is necessary to select vegetation indices sensitive to crop response and to understand their changes considering not only soil moisture deficit but also heat conditions. In this study, we measured the MERIS terrestrial chlorophyll index (MTCI) and chlorophyll/carotenoid index (CCI) under drought and heat wave conditions. The MTCI, sensitive to chlorophyll concentration, sensitively decreased on non-irrigation conditions and the degree was larger with heat waves. On the other hand, the CCI, correlated with photosynthesis efficiency, showed less sensitivity to water deficit but had decreased significantly with heat waves. After re-irrigation, the MTCI was increased than before damage and CCI became more sensitive to heat stress. These results are expected to contribute to evaluating the intensity of crop water stress through remote sensing techniques.
