기존 연구 문헌의 고찰로 서울시 야생조류상의 현황 및 관리방안은 다음과 같이 결론지을 수 있다. 1. 서울시 야생조류상에 대하여 물새와 산새를 모두 연구한 결과가 아직 발표되지 않아 정확한 현황은 파악하기 어려우나 번식기에는 약 40 여종, 겨울철에는 40여종이 서식하는 것으로 볼 수 있으나, 앞으로 정교하며 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다. 2. 도시림 뿐만 아니라 주변의 패치를 동시에 고려한 통합적 접근방식(intergrated approach)으로 도시림을 연구하여 관리해야 할 것이다. 3. 도시림의 면적은 도시림에 번식하는 야생조류의 종 수에 큰 영향을 미치는 지배적인 인자로써 도시림이 더 이상 다른 토지이용 형태로 전환되지 않도록 관리하는 것이 가장 기초적인 관리 지침이다. 4. 대면적의 숲이 세분화 될 경우, 여름철새의 번식에 지장이 있을 수 있으므로 대면적 숲의 세분화를 막아야 하며, 가능한 한 생태통로(eco-corridor)로 세분화 된 숲을 연결할 수 있는 기술을 개발해야 할 것이다. 5. 도시림에 생육하는 임목 중 대경급 임목은 나무구멍을 둥지자원으로 이용하는 조류의 중요한 은신처와 둥지이므로 대경급 임목을 대신할 수 있는 인공새집의 설치는 나무구멍을 둥지로 이용하는 조류의 번식 종 수를 높이는 방법이다. 또한, 도시림이 시민에 의해 과도하게 이용될 경우, 관목층이 제거되어 관목층을 둥지자원으로 이용하는 조류의 서식에 불리한 조건을 제공할 수 있으므로 등산로 주변에 관목성 수목을 밀식하여 등산로의 확폭과 파괴를 막아야 할 것이다. 풍부한 먹이 자원을 제공하기 위하여 관목층 보호를 꾀하고 임목의 조림과 무육에 힘써야 할 것이다. 6. 동일한 면적에서 번식 조류 종 수를 높이는 방법은 엽층의 피도량을 늘이는 것이다. 현재 서울의 도시림은 엽층의 분화보다는 우선, 피도량의 증가를 위해 노력해야 하며 후에 엽층의 다양성을 높여 산림의 수직적 구조를 다양하게 만들어야 할 것이다. 7. 들고양이와 들개에 의한 소형 조류의 피해가 늘고 있으므로, 야생조류의 천적인 들고양이와 들개를 구제해야 할 것이며, 이에 앞서 서식실태가 조사되어야 할 것이다. 8. 한각을 비롯한 지천의 하변에 서식, 월동하는 물새류와 서식지에 대한 연구와 관리가 시급히 이루어져야 할 것이다. 9. 산불방지와 도시림 정비의 일환으로 실시해 온 관목층과 낙엽 및 죽은 가지를 제거하는 비과학적인 관행과, 하천유지유량을 높이고 하변 정비 및 산불 방지으 ㅣ한 방편으로 진행된 하변 식생 제거는 전문가와 충분히 제고한 후, 없어져야 할 것이다.

We studied the forest environment and characteristics of bird community between April and September of 2010 on the Hyangjeokbong area(A), Baekryunsa area(B) and Anseong area(C), all in the Deogyusan National Park. Hyangjeokbong area of the high latitude ridge was characterized by the Taxus cuspidata and Abies koreana etc., and deciduous broadleaf forest species, such as the Quercus mongolica, with abundance of subalpine zone coniferous trees, the Hemerocallis fulva and the Rhododendron schlippenbachii, while the areas Baekryunsa and Anseong were primarily characterized by deciduous broadleaf forests, with the valleys showing Fraxinus mandshurica colonies. In terms of the DBH(diameter at breast height) of trees, between 11 and 20cm showed the highest frequencies, while over 30cm was the highest in Baekryunsa area and the lowest in Hyangjeokbong area. Furthermore, in terms of coverage in relation to layers, in Hyangjeokbong area, the coverage volume of the lower layer was very high, in Baekryunsa area, the coverage volume of the middle layer between 8 and 12m was the highest, and in Anseong area, the coverage volume of the upper layer over 18m was the highest. A total of 53 bird species were observed during the study period at the Deogyusan National Park. The numbers of species and density of areas were 25 species and 45.20 Ind./km for Hyangjeokbong area, 50 species and 58.63 Ind./km for Baekryunsa area and 35 species and 66.89 Ind./km for Anseong area, with Baekryunsa area showing the highest number of species and Anseong area showing the highest level of density. In terms of dominant species, in Hyangjeokbong area, Cettia diphone, along with species which inhabit in grassland and shrubs, were the dominant species, and species which live in the canopy layer, including the Aegithalos caudatus, were found to be dominant in Baekryunsa and Anseong areas. For guild structure, bush nesting guild and bush foraging guild species were the highest in all areas, and the hole nesting guild and the air foraging guild species showed the lowest proportion. This seems to be the result of the low number of trees with diameter at breast height of over 30cm, which results in the lack of nesting grounds for hole nesting guild species.

This study was conducted to clarify the differences in bird communities in breeding season between coniferous forests of Mt. Namsan and Gwangneung areas from April to August 2006. We chose a study site of 10ha in size for territory mapping of breeding bird community in each area. There were significant difference in DBH distribution of trees and average foliage profiles between both study areas. Number of breeding species and pairs, breeding density, and bird species diversity were higher in Gwangneung area than in Mt. Namsan area. Number of bird species and breeding pairs belonged to hole and canopy guild were different between both study areas. The difference in breeding bird communities between both study areas may be related with forest structure. For the protection and management of birds, greater structural complexity would be needed in Mt. Namsan area.

This study was conducted to clarify the use of artificial nest boxes of tits in coniferous and deciduous forests from March to June 2006 and 2007. Tree species richness, tree species diversity and total basal area were higher in deciduous forest than in coniferous forest. Except the bush-ground layer (<1 m), the other vertical layers were more developed in deciduous forest. Varied tit Parus varius, marsh tit P. palustris, coal tit P. ater and major tit P. major used the artificial nest boxes in this study. Number of breeding pairs of tits were higher in deciduous than in coniferous forest. Clutch size, brood size and breeding success of coal tits were higher in coniferous forest. Brood size and breeding success of major tits were higher in deciduous forest. Characteristics of habitat and niche partition would be influenced on tits' use of artificial nest boxes. The more detailed researches on artificial nest boxes would be needed for management and conservation of birds.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of fragmentation on the bird community in Seongduck-ri and Hanggum-ri agricultural landscapes of Kangha-myon, Yangpyong-gun, Kyonggido. We analyzed the composition of tree species, forest environmental structures, structures of agricultural landscapes, avifaunas and guild structures. Number and density of tree species ranging from 6 to 10cm in D.B.H. were high in Seongduck-ri, but basal area was high in Hanggum-ri. Coverages of foliage layers under two meters and over 12 meters were high in Hanggum-ri. Meanwhile, Seongduck-ri agricultural landscapes consisted of twelve patches, dominated by Larix leptolepsis and Robinia pseudoacacia Hanggum-ri landscapes was composed of eleven patches, and dominated by Pinus rigida, Castanea crenate, Larix leptolepsis and paddy field. Dominant bird species showed the same order in two study areas, thirty-six species of birds were observed in Hanggum-ri landscapes, but twenty species were in Seongduck-ri landscapes. Number of species and density belonging to hole-, bush-, ground-nesting and water-, bush-, ground-foraging guild were high in Hanggum-ri landscapes. Number of species and density belonging to hole-nesting guild showed the high value in Hanggum-ri landscapes that was not fragmented. It could be attributed to the low human disturbance and relative high density of medium and large trees in D.B.H. Also, number of species and density belonging to bush-, ground- and water- foraging guild showed the high value in Hanggum-ri landscapes that had the high foliage amounts in the foliage layer under two meters. It will be related with the paddy field, dry field and brook, which patches covered the 28.4% of Hanggum-ri landscapes. Therefore, road not only dominate the heterogeneous patch in agricultural landscapes, but also easily cause the human disturbance. Thus, road construction would decrease the natural patch diversity and edge effects that are important for sustaining the diverse avifauna in agricultural landscapes.

This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of amphibian and reptile (herpetofauna) populations in a coniferous plantation and a deciduous forest from July to September 2013 in national forest, Hongcheon, Gangwon province, Korea. Coverage of understory, mid-story and overstory were more developed in a deciduous forest. We used line transect sampling method on a total of 4 transect lines, 2 lines in each forest type. Fifty two individuals of 4 amphibian species and 11 individuals of 3 reptile species were recorded. Mean observed number of herpetofauna species, individuals and species diversity index (H') were not significantly different between coniferous plantation and deciduous forest. This result related to ecological characteristics of herpetofauna. Habitats of herpetofauna were influenced on not only vertical structure of forests, but also climatic variables, thermoregulation and prey availability. The long-term monitoring and research on habitat preference and seasonal ecological traits of herpetofauna would be needed for conservation and management of herpetofauna in forest areas.
