기후변화에 의한 온도 상승 및 강수량 변화는 수량 및 수질을 포함한 수환경의 변화로 이어져 결과적으로 수생생물의 서식지에 영향을 미친다. 이와 같은 서식지 변화는 생물종의 서식적합도 변화로 이어지고, 서식적합도에 의해 종분포가 결정된다. 따라서 기후변화에 의한 담수 어류의 서식적합성 변화를 예측하기 위하여 기존의 서식적합성 모형을 비교 및 분석하였다. 서식적합성 모형은 PHABSIM, CCHE2D, CASiMiR, RHABSIM, RHYHABSIM, River2D과 같은 서식지-수리 모형과 CLIMEX와 같은 서식지-생리 모형으로 구분하여 조사하였다. 서식지-수리 모형들은 수리학적 인자 (유속, 수심, 기질)를 이용하여 서식적합도를 예측하기 때문에, 수온을 포함한 수질의 영향을 평가할 수 없다. 반면, CLIMEX는 기후 인자에 대한 생물의 생리학적 반응을 평가하기 때문에, 물리적 서식지 (수리학적 인자)의 영향을 평가할 수 없다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 서식지-수리 모형인 PHABSIM과 서식지-생리 모형인 CLIMEX의 구동 원리를 융합하여 기존의 모형들보다 다양한 환경 인자에 대한 영향을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 모형인 생태학적 서식적합성 모형 (EHSM)의 개념을 제안하였다. 이 모형은 기후변화에 의한 어류의 서식적합도 변화를 더욱 정확하게 예측할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was carried out to analysis change of distribution and habitat location environment of Korean Fir which is typically vulnerable species by the climate change in Mt. Jiri and Halla. Korean Fir was decreased 18% during 27 year since year 1981, Mt. Halla was 34% during 15 years since year 1988. In the same periods, Temperature change was increased from 8.56 to $9.36^{\circ}C$, from 11.2 to $12.1^{\circ}C$. Distribution changes by the elevation showed higher change ratio 1,400~1,600m in Mt. Jiri and 1,200~1,900m in Mt. Halla. Changes of Korean Fir each slope aspects was high $180{\sim}360^{\circ}$ in Mt. Jiri, $45^{\circ}$ in Mt. Halla. In slope was $30^{\circ}$ in Mt. Jiri and $20^{\circ}$ in Mt. Halla. Changes by reliefs was 12 in Mt. Jiri, 0 or 15 in Mt. Halla, and Sites of Korean Fir was convex slopes both of two areas. Changes by soils was in the good drainage textures.

Background: Climate change is occurring rapidly around the world, and is predicted to have a large impact on biodiversity. Various studies have shown that climate change can alter the geographical distribution of wild bees. As climate change affects the species distribution and causes range shift, the degree of range shift and the quality of the habitats are becoming more important for securing the species diversity. In addition, those pollinator insects are contributing not only to shaping the natural ecosystem but also to increased crop production. The distributional and habitat quality changes of wild bees are of utmost importance in the climate change era. This study aims to investigate the impact of climate change on distributional and habitat quality changes of five wild bees in northwestern regions of Iran under two representative concentration pathway scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5). We used species distribution models to predict the potential range shift of these species in the year 2070. Result: The effects of climate change on different species are different, and the increase in temperature mainly expands the distribution ranges of wild bees, except for one species that is estimated to have a reduced potential range. Therefore, the increase in temperature would force wild bees to shift to higher latitudes. There was also significant uncertainty in the use of different models and the number of environmental layers employed in the modeling of habitat suitability. Conclusion: The increase in temperature caused the expansion of species distribution and wider areas would be available to the studied species in the future. However, not all of this possible range may include high-quality habitats, and wild bees may limit their niche to suitable habitats. On the other hand, the movement of species to higher latitudes will cause a mismatch between farms and suitable areas for wild bees, and as a result, farmers will face a shortage of pollination from wild bees. We suggest that farmers in these areas be aware of the effects of climate change on agricultural production and consider the use of managed bees in the future.

We investigated the habitat use of cranes, and suggested the proper way to protect and manage the cranes in Cheolwon Basin, which is the most important wintering ground of cranes in Korea. Field surveys were conducted in the wintering seasons from Nov. 1994 to Feb. 1995, and from Nov. 1997 to Feb. 1998. The habitat loss and environmental changes by the road construction and agricultural field rearrangement might have affected the distribution of the cranes. The distribution of cranes seemed to be related with the density of rice grains remained in rice paddies.

This study considered a seagrass habitat in order to analyze the characteristics of a marine environment of seagrass located in the Seomjin river estuary, through an analysis of the distribution of the water depth, field observation, and three-dimensional numerical experiments using an EFDC model. The seagrass habitat was usually distributed at D.L(-) 0.5~0.0 m, and was hardly seen in the intertidal zone higher than that range. The distribution of the water temperature was within the range of $7.0{\sim}23.2^{\circ}C$, and the seagrass was demonstrated to have a strong tolerance to changes in the water temperature. In addition, the salinity distribution was found to be 27.2~31.0 psu, with suspended solids of 32.1 mg/L, which were higher than the previous research results (Huh et al., 1998), implying that there may be a reduction in the amount of deposits caused by the suspended solids. As for the sedimentary facies, they were comprised of 62.7% sand, 19.1% silt, and 18.2% clay, indicating that the arenaceous was superior and the sedimentary facies were similar to that of Dadae Bay. According to a numerical experiment, the maximum tidal current was 75 cm/s, while the tidal residual current was 10 cm/s, confirming that it sufficiently adapted to strong tidal currents. The erosion and deposition are predicted to be less than 1.0 cm/year. Thus, it is judged that the resuspension of sediments due to tidal currents and the changes in sedimentary facies are insignificant.

Korean fir(Abies koreana E.H.Wilson 1920), endemic tree species of Korean peninsula, is considered as vulnerable and endangered species to recent rapid environmental changes such as land use and climate change. There are limited activities and efforts to find natural habitats of Korean fir for conservation of the species and habitats. In this study, by applying SDMs (Species Distribution Models) based on climate and topographic factors of Korean fir, we developed Korean fir's predicted distribution model and explored novel natural habitats. In Mt. Shinbulsan, Youngnam region and Mt. Songnisan, we could find korean fir's two novel habitat and the former was the warmest($13^{\circ}C$ in annual mean temperature), the driest(1,200mm~1,600mm in annual rainfall) and relatively low altitude environment among Korean fir's habitats in Korea. The result of SDMs did not include mountain areas of Gangwon-do as habitats of A. nephrolepis, because there were different contributions of key habitat environment factors, summer rainfall, winter mean temperature and winter rainfall, between A. koreana and A. nephrolepis. Our results raise modification of other distribution models on Korean fir. Novel habitat of Korean fir in Mt. Shinbulsan revealed similar habitat affinity of the species, ridgy and rocky site, with other habitats in Korea. Our results also suggest potential areas for creation of Korea fir's alternative habitats through species reintroduction in landscape and ecosystem level.

전 세계 다양한 국가들을 비롯하여 우리나라도 생물다양성을 보전하기 위한 노력에 동참하고 있다. 특히 생물종과 관련해서는 특정 생물종을 대상으로 서식적합분석을 실시하여 잠재적인 서식 적지를 찾고 보전방안을 수립하는 연구들이 활발하게 수행되고 있다. 그러나 현재까지 축적된 정보를 바탕으로 한 서식적합지역의 중장기 변화에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 강원도 지역을 대상으로 멸종위기 야생생물 1급으로 지정된 수달을 대상으로 서식적합지역의 시계열 변화를 분석하고 변화 양상을 살펴보고자 하였다. 시계열 변화 분석을 위해서 약 20년간 수행된 2차, 3차, 4차 전국자연환경조사의 수달 종 출현지점 조사자료를 이용하였다. 또한 각 조사시기 별 서식환경을 반영하기 위해 조사시기와 일치하는 토지피복도를 환경변수 제작에 활용하였다. 서식적합지역 분석을 위해서는 종의 출현 정보만을 바탕으로 모델 구동이 가능하며, 선행연구를 통해 신뢰도가 높다고 입증된 MaxEnt 모형을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 각 조사시기 별 수달의 서식적합지역 지도가 도출되었으며, 하천을 중심으로 서식지가 분포하는 경향이 나타났다. 모델링 결과 도출된 환경변수의 반응곡선을 비교하여 수달이 선호하는 서식지의 특성을 파악하였다. 조사시기 별 서식 적지의 변화를 살펴본 결과, 2차 전국자연환경조사를 기반으로 한 서식 적지가 가장 넓은 분포를 나타냈으며, 3, 4차 조사의 서식 적지는 면적이 줄어드는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한, 3개 조사시기 분석결과를 종합하여 서식 적지의 변화 양상을 분석하고 유형화하였다. 변화 유형에 따라서 현장조사, 모니터링, 보호지역 설정, 복원계획과 같이 서로 다른 보전계획을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 수달 서식 적지의 위치와 면적의 시계열 변화를 볼 수 있는 종합분석 지도를 제작하고, 지역별 서식 적지 변화 유형에 따라 필요한 보전계획을 제안하였다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법과 결과는 향후 서식지 보전 및 관리 방안 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 국내 주요 용재수종인 잣나무와 삼나무, 편백에 대한 종 분포 예측 모델의 결과를 앙상블하여 기후 시나리오에 따라 현재, 근미래, 먼미래의 서식 적합지를 예측하였고 잣나무와 삼나무, 편백의 기후변화 시나리오별 분포 적합지를 분석하였다. 특히, 잣나무를 삼나무와 편백이 대체할 수 있는지 평가하였다. 기준연도(현재) 잣나무의 매우 적합한 서식지는 전국의 약 13.87%를 차지하지만 SSP5-8.5 하의 먼미래에서는 약 0.11%까지 낮아진다. 삼나무의 경우 기준연도의 서식 적합지는 약 7.08%이며 SSP5-8.5하의 먼미래에서는 약 18.21%까지 증가한다. 편백의 경우 기준연도의 서식 적합지는 약 19.32%이며 SSP5-8.5 하의 먼미래에서는 약 90.93%까지 차지하는 것으로 예측되었다. 전국적으로 조림하던 잣나무는 기후변화의 영향으로 서식처가 점차 북상하여 우리나라에서 적합한 서식처가 크게 감소하였으므로 21세기 중반 이후에는 국내에서 용재수종으로 조림하기에는 부적합하며 높은 수준의 서식 적합도를 갖는 편백이나 삼나무로 대체될 필요가 있다고 전망된다. 특히, 편백은 대부분의 영역에서 잣나무를 대체 가능하며, 삼나무의 경우 남해안과 중부지방 일부분을 대체할 수 있다고 평가되었다. 결론적으로 미래에는 조림하는 용재수종의 변화가 생길 것이며 다양한 수종을 대상으로 한 연구를 통해 기후변화에 대응하는 방안이 마련되기를 기대한다.

Understanding the regional distribution of swans in the lower Nakdong River area is also important for the continuous habitat of swans according to changes in the surrounding environment of the area. This study was conducted to understand the regional distribution aspect of swans (Cygnus spp.) downstream of the Nakdong River, Republic of Korea, from October 2013 to September 2018. In the estuary, a small ship was used to move along a certain route and observe it with the naked eye or binoculars, and in the land area, Line transect census and Point census method were conducted in parallel. During this period, two species and 34,647 individuals of swans were observed, including 34,356 Whooper Swans (Cygnus cygnus) and 291 Tundra Swans (Cygnus columbianus). The average number of individuals observed in 15 different areas was 1172, 103, 214, 1825, 1850, 13, 318, 1, 0, 1, 11, 21, 5, 0, and 239 respectively. The total average of the number of individuals in these areas was 384.76. The numbers differed significantly among the survey areas (Kruskal-Wallis test, X2=4349.01, P < 0.001). Particularly, the numbers were larger in Eulsukdo, Lower Eulsukdo, and Daemadeung than in the other regions. In conclusion, as long-term survey data, it can be used as basic data to analyze the distribution of swans due to environmental changes caused by the development of the Nakdong River, predict changes in the habitat status of migratory birds, and prepare measures necessary for preservation.

We quantified temporal and spatial changes in the habitat for fish populations, the distribution of mandarin fish(Siniperca scherzeri) and an introduced species, largemouth bass(Micropterus salmoides) in Lake Paro and inflowing streams. The number of fish species identified in Lake Paro and the tributary streams included 10 families, 24 species and 10 families 30 species, respectively. The dominant fish species in Lake Paro were Zacco platypus, Hemibarbus labeo, Squalidus gracilis majimae, S. scherzeri and Tridentiger brevispinis, Z. platypus, Z. koreanus, and S. gracilis majimae in the inflowing streams. Although the habitat segregation for S. scherzeri and M. salmoides occurs, these two species showed the use of the fishes of the family Gobiidae as an important prey item based on IRI analysis. S. scherzeri and M. salmoides preyed mainly on T. brevispinis(67.4 %) and R. brunneus(84.0 %), respectively. The species preyed on by S. scherzeri and M. salmoides were benthic fishes that inhabit shallow water depths around the lake and have little swimming ability.
