국립공원이 자연생태계 보호를 제대로 수행하려면 해당 사회의 국립공원에 대한 인식이 중요한 역할을 한다. 설악산 국립공원 방문객 인식조사는 이 질문에 답을 얻기 위하여 시행되었다. 인식유형과 유형에 영향을 미치는 인자를 통한 조사 결과, 국립공원은 감상지향형, 문화지향형, 휴양지향형, 경제지향형으로 설명되어진다. 처음 세 유형은 전통문화와 깊은 연관을 가진 인식유형이며 경제지향형은 생태계 보호에 항상 문제점으로 등장하는 유형이다. IUCN(국제자연보전연맹)에서 요구하는 생태계 보호나 서구에서 유행하는 환경윤리는 우리 사회에 아직도 요원한 것으로 보이며, 국립공원 내 생태계 보호를 위한 장기전략 수립에는 공원관리 전반에 전통문화와의 접목이 필수적으로 보인다.

1960-70년대 대규모 산림녹화 이후에 한국의 산림은 점차 노령화되고 있다. 노령림의 순 CO₂ 교환은 이론적으로 중립에 가깝지만, 교란이나 관리에 의해 CO₂ 흡원 또는 발원이 될 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국의 광릉 낙엽활엽수 노령림(GDK)의 CO₂ 수지 역학을 이해함으로써, 다음 두 가지 질문에 답하고자 하였다: (1) 보전되고 있는 GDK는 과연 이론적으로 알려져 있는 CO₂ 중립인가? (2) 관측된 CO₂ 수지의 경년 변동이 문헌에 보고된 조절 인자들과의 선형적인 인과관계로 설명이 가능한가? 이에 답하기 위해, 본 연구는 KoFlux GDK 관측지에서 에디 공분산 기술로 2006년부터 2020년까지 15년 동안 관측된 CO₂ 플럭스 자료와 생기상학적 자료를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, (1) GDK는 15년 자료를 평균해서 보면 약한 CO₂ 발원이며, 관측기간 동안 흡원과 발원 사이를 오갔으나 최근 5년 동안 CO₂ 발원으로서의 강도가 증가하고 있다. (2) 전천일사, 생장기간, 엽면적지수의 경년 변동은 총 일차생산량(Gross Primary Production, GPP)의 경년변동과 양의 상관관계(R²=0.32~0.45)가 있는 반면, 기온과 지표면 온도의 경년 변동은 생태계 호흡(Ecosystem Respiration, RE)의 경년 변동과 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 또한, 관측기간 초반(첫 10년)의 CO₂ 플럭스와 기상요인 및 생물학적 요인으로 학습시킨 기계학습은 관측기간 후반(최근 5년)의 GPP와 RE의 경년 변동을 제대로 모사해내지 못했다. 단, 고사목에서 배출된 탄소 추정량이 CO₂ 발원으로의 전환에 일부 기여했을 것으로 추정된다. GDK의 장기 CO₂ 수지 역학에 대해 올바로 이해하고 해석하기 위해서는, 분석과 모델링을 위한 복잡계과학 기반의 새로운 프레임워크가 필요하다. 더불어, 플럭스 모니터링 및 자료 품질 유지와 함께 고사목과 교란을 지속적으로 모니터링하는 것이 중요함을 다시 한 번 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 간벌 이후 지표 절지동물 군집의 장기적인 변화를 확인하기 위해, 잣나무조림지에서 간벌 전후에 조사되었던 과거 지표 절지동물 군집 자료와 간벌처리 10년 후인 2018년에 채집한 군집 자료를 비교하였다. 조사지역에서는 간벌 이후 10년이 지났으나 여전히 간벌처리에 따른 서식 환경(유기물 깊이, 지표면 식생 피도, 울폐도)의 차이가 나타났다. 2018년 조사된 절지동물 군집은 곤충강파리목, 벌목, 딱정벌레목, 톡토기강 톡토기목, 거미강 거미목 순으로 우점하였고, 간벌처리 조건 중 강도간벌에서는 거미강 거미목, 곤충강 딱정벌레목과 벌목이, 약도간벌에서 톡토기강 톡토기목과 곤충강 파리목이 가장 많이 나타났다. 간벌 직후인 2008년에 비해 2018년 곤충강 딱정벌레목과 파리목, 벌목, 갑각강 등각목의 개체수는 감소하였고, 곤충강 노린재목과 메뚜기목의 개체수는 증가하였다. 2018년의 지표 절지동물 군집은 간벌 이전인 2006년 군집에 비해, 간벌 직후인 2008년 군집과 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 지표 절지동물 군집의 변화를 조사지역 및 간벌처리 조건에 따라 나타내어, 차후 산림 내 간벌 계획 작성 또는 간벌을 이용한 산림 자원 관리에 대한 기초 자료를 제공한다. 이후로 다양한 간벌처리지 내 조사 등이 수반된 추가 연구가 수행된다면, 간벌로 인한 산림 절지동물 군집 변화를 더욱 명확하게 규명할 수 있을 것이다.

Background: Panax ginseng cannot be cultivated on the same land consecutively for an extended period, and the underlying mechanism regarding microorganisms is still being explored. Methods: Polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) and BIO-LOG methods were used to evaluate the microbial genetic and functional diversity associated with the P. ginseng rhizosphere soil in various cultivation ages and modes. Results: The analysis of microbial diversity using PCR-DGGE showed that microbial communities were significantly variable in composition, of which six bacterial phyla and seven fungal classes were detected in P. ginseng soil. Among them, Proteobacteria and Hypocreales dominated. Fusarium oxysporum, a soilborne pathogen, was found in all P. ginseng soil samples except R0. The results from functional diversity suggested that the microbial metabolic diversity of fallow soil abandoned in 2003was the maximum and transplanted soil was higher than direct-seeding soil and the forest soil uncultivated P. ginseng, whereas the increase in cultivation ages in the same mode led to decreases in microbial diversity in P. ginseng soil. Carbohydrates, amino acids, and polymers were the main carbon sources utilized. Furthermore, the microbial diversity index and multivariate comparisons indicated that the augmentation of P. ginseng cultivation ages resulted in decreased bacterial diversity and increased fungal diversity, whereas microbial diversity was improved strikingly in transplanted soil and fallow soil abandoned for at least one decade. Conclusion: The key factors for discontinuous P. ginseng cultivation were the lack of balance in rhizosphere microbial communities and the outbreak of soilborne diseases caused by the accumulation of its root exudates.

A method of conserving the vegetation at Mt. Chonggye was established to persue a practical management of the natural ecosystem by the vegetative composition analysis. As a result, the vegetation of surveyed areas was classified into two communities and four subcommunities in Mt. Chonggye. Potentilla fragarioides var. major community, known as the roadside plant community, distributed near trails under heavy human impacts. Potentilla fragarioides var. major community included two subcommunities : Digitaria sanguinalis-Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior subcommunity and Rhus chinensis subcommunities. In these communiyies, there were many naturalized plant species such as Aster pilosus and Artemisia princeps var. orientalis, known as heliophilous plant. Results indicated that the vegetation had been affected by intensive human activities. It is necessary to control the naturalized plant species such as Aster pilosus for conservation of the ecosystem and nature in this area. Quercus mongolica community, a common coppice woodland in central Korea, was mostly distributed around mountain tops and ridges above 529 m altitute. In the valley where the forests well conserved, the Quercus mongolica community contained the Syneilesis aconitifolia-Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus subcommunity. On the other hand, Potentilla dickinsii subcommunity was dominated in dry rocky ridge areas. In these areas, however, the vegetation and forest soil was not properly managed for conservation.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been the biggest environmental problem in Korea since the 2010s. The present study considers the value of urban forests and green infrastructure as an ecosystem service (ES) concept for PM2.5 reduction based on satellite and spatial data, with a focus on Seoul, Korea A method for the spatial ES assessment that considers social demand variables such as population and land price is suggested. First, an ES assessment based on natural environment information confirms that, while the vitality of vegetation is relatively low, the ES is high in the city center and residential areas, where the concentration of PM2.5 is high. Then, the ES assessment considering social demand (i.e., the ESS) confirms the existence of higher PM2.5 values in residential areas with high population density, and in main downtown areas. This is because the ESS of urban green infrastructure is high in areas with high land prices, high population density, and above-average PM2.5 concentrations. Further, when a future green infrastructure improvement scenario that considers the urban forest management plan is applied, the area of very high ESS is increased by 74% when the vegetation greenness of the green infrastructure in the residential area is increased by only 20%. This result suggests that green infrastructure and urban forests in the residential area should be continuously expanded and managed in order to maximize the PM2.5 reduction ES.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential soil loss and hazard zone by the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation(RUSLE) for preservation and management of land resources which is the base of ecosystem, and to grasp the relationship between RUSLE factors in the Nakdong River Basin. All thematic maps used in RUSLE are constructed through GIS and spatial analysis method derived from digital topographic maps, detailed soil maps, land-cover maps, and mean annual precipitation of 30 years collected respectively from National Geographic Information Institute, National Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology, and Ministry of Environment. The slope length of LS-factor that takes much times by the study area's wideness was calculated automatically through AML(Arc Macro Language) program developed by Van Remortel et al.(2001, 2003). The results are as follows; First, according to the soil loss estimation by the RUSLE, it shows that approximately 82% of the study area have relatively lower possibility of soil loss which is the 1 ton/ha in annual soil loss. While, 9.4% ($2,228km^2$) needed intensive and continuous management for soil loss. Because the amount of their annual soil loss was greater than 10 ton/ha that is optimum level suggested by Morgan(1995). For these areas, the author believe that a new approach which can minimize environmental impacts from soil loss through improvement of cultivation process and buffer forest zone should be applied. Second, according to the relationship between the RUSLE factors, topographical(LS-factor) and cover management(C-factor) conditions have a lot of influence on soil loss in case of the Nakdong River Basin. However, because of RUSLE factor's influence that affect to soil loss might be different based on the variety of spatial hierarchy and extent, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate factor's relationship in terms of spatial hierarchy and extent through field observations and further studies.

An invasive disturbance species has caused harm to biodiversity and ecosystem. To address the issue, identifying the characteristics of a habitat for invasive disturbance species is considered for forest management. This study analyzed a status of plant species by field survey based on belt transect method in the capital areas and established a predictive model for invasive disturbance species by logistic regression. As results of the study, the number of herb, vine, and invasive disturbance species and a canopy cover of tree would decrease from the forest edge to core areas (p<0.001). The predictive model was derived with variables of altitude, Topographic Wetness Index, distance to forest edge, and canopy cover of tree. It can be useful in estimating the presence or absence of species and predicting its spatial distribution. Further studies are needed to identify the pathway of introduction, spread, and possibility of germination for understanding the status of invasive disturbance species in more depth.

Most of the islands of Korea are distributed in the South and West Sea, and it consists of independent small stream. As a result, the fish community that inhabits the island's stream is isolated from the mainland and other island. This study utilized a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and a random forest model to analyze the relationship between environmental variables and fish communities inhabiting islands in South Korea. Through the SOM analysis, the fish communities were divided into three clusters, and there were differences in biotic and abiotic factors between these groups. Cluster I consisted of sites with relatively larger island areas and a higher number of species and population. It was found that 15 out of 16 indicator species were included. Meanwhile, the remaining clusters had fewer species and populations. Cluster II, especially, showed the lowest impact from physical variables such as water width and depth. As a result of predicting the species richness using the random forest model, physical variables in habitats, such as stream width and water depth, had a relatively higher importance on species richness. On the other hand, forest area was the most important variables for predicting Shannon diversity, followed by maximum water depth, and gravel. The results suggest that this study can be used as basic data for establishing a stream ecosystem management strategy in terms of conservation and protection of biological resources in streams of islands.

Jeju island has a humid subtropical climate and this climate zone is expected to migrate northward toward the main land, Korea Peninsula, as temperature increases are accelerated. Vegetation type has been inevitably shifted along with the climatic change, having more subtropical species native in southeast Asia or even in Africa. With the forest composition shift, it becomes more important than ever to analyze the water balance of the forest wihth the ongoing as well as upcoming climate change. Here, we implemented the Ecosystem Demography Biosphere Model (ED2) by initializing the key variables using forest inventory data (diameter at breast height in 2012). Out of 10,000 parameter sets randomly generated from prior distribution distributions of each parameter (i.e., Monte-Carlo Method), we selected four behavioral parameter sets using remote-sensing data (LAI-MOD15A2H, GPP-MOD17A2H, and ET-MOD16A2, 8-days at 500-m during 2001-2005), and evaluated the performances using eddy-covariance carbon flux data (2012 Mar.-Sep. 30-min) and remote sensing data between 2006-2020. We simulated each of the four RCP scenarios (2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5) from four climate forcings (GFDL-ESM2M, HadGEM2-ES, IPSL-CM5A-LR, and MIROC5 from ISIMIP2b). Based on those 64 simulation sets, we estimate the changes in water balance resulting from the forest composition shift, and also uncertainty in the estimates and the sensitivity of the estimates to the parameters, climate forcings, and RCP scenarios.
