This study presents the impact of natural flow patterns on downstream fish habitat and economic outcomes in the Dal Stream, Korea. The study reach is 3.35 km long, located downstream form the Goesan Dam. To assess such impact, this study performed physical habitat simulations. The River2D model was used for the computation of the flow and the HSI model for the habitat simulation. Two physical habitat variables, flow depth and velocity, were used. The Zacco platypus, Zacco temminckii, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, and Opsariichthys bidens were selected as the target species in the study area. Using the building block approach (BBA), the scenarios for the hydropeaking mitigation were presented. Scenario 1 and scenario 2 were proposed by using the magnitude - duration concept and averaged the hydrologic data over the each month, respectively. Simulation results indicated that the scenarios effects significantly increased by about 18.6% for the weighted usable area (WUA). In addition, hydroelectric power benefits with both scenarios were investigated. It was revealed that the change of storing and releasing water decreased by about 27% for hydroelectric power benefits. In order to increase economic benefits, the scenario was modified with the discharges corresponding to the hydropeaking condition except the flood season. As a result, the hydroelectric power benefits were almost the same, however the aquatic habitat for the target species increased by about 5%. The change of dam re-operations through natural flow patterns provides an opportunity to minimize environmental and economic benefits in order to balance water management.

본 연구에서는 기후변화가 수생태의 서식환경 변화에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 환경부에서 제시한 대표 기후변화 지표종 중에서 금강모치를 선정하고 금강모치에 대한 생태서식 특성과 서식 제한조건을 조사하였다. 그리고 기후변화 시나리오를 수질모의가 가능한 SWAT 모형에 적용하여 평창강 상류를 대상으로 미래 유량과 수질을 모의하였다. 대상 하천에 대한 분석 결과 미래의 유량, BOD, 수온의 증가와 DO의 감소 특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 수생태 서식 적합성 검토를 위해 대표어종인 금강모치에 대한 생태서식 환경의 제한 조건을 산란기인 4월과 5월의 수질로 설정하였다. 미래 수질 분석에 대한 평가 결과, BOD와 DO는 1급수 수준으로 양호한 것으로 나타났기 때문에 수온에 대한 제한조건을 통하여 금강모치의 서식이 가능한 공간을 구분하였다. 그 결과, 대상하천 구간내에서 현재 약 50~60% 정도가 금강모치의 생태 서식이 가능한 구간인 것으로 분석되었지만 미래로 진행될수록 서식처가 점차 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 장기적으로는 극히 일부구간에서만 서식 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

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.

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.

The distribution of coral reefs can be an indicator of environmental or anthropogenic impacts. Here, we present a habitat map of coral reefs developed using high-spatial satellite images. The study area was located on the north-eastern part of Weno island, in the Chuuk lagoon of Federated States of Micronesia. Two fieldwork expeditions were carried out between 2007 and 2008 to acquire optical and environmental data from 121 stations. We used an IKONOS image obtained in December 2000, and a Kompsat-2 image obtained in September 2008 for the purpose of coral reef mapping. We employed an adapted version of the object-based classification method for efficient classification of the high-spatial satellite images. The habitat map generated using Kompsat-2 was 72.22% accurate in terms of comparative analysis with in-situ measurements. The result of change detection analysis between 2000 and 2008 showed that coral reef distribution had decreased by 6.27% while seagrass meadows had increased by 8.0%.

Urban development typically results in many species being confined to small, isolated and degraded habitat fragments. Fragment size and isolation underpin many studies of modified landscape to prevent biodiversity loss. However, habitat characteristics such as vegetation structure and edge effects are less frequently incorporated in planning. The relative influence of biogeographic (e.g. size, isolation) and vegetation parameters on assemblages is poorly understood, but critical for conservation management. In this study, the relative importance of biogeographic and vegetation parameters in explaining the diversity of forest-interior dwelling birds in forest fragments in Chungcheong Province Area. Fragment size and vegetation characteristics were consistently important predictors of bird diversity. Forestinterior bird richness was influenced by fragment size (0.437), wood age (0.332), wood diameter (0.068), and patch shape (-0.079). To preserve bird diversity of Chungcheong Province Area, it is important to consider differing responses of bird diversity to landscape change, move beyond a focus primarily on spatial attributes (size, isolation) to recognize that landscape change also has profound effects on habitat composition and quality. The result is very useful for long-term aspect of biodiversity conservation plan in regional scale.

Background: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government initiated the Billion Tree Tsunami Afforestation Project including regeneration and afforestation approaches. An effort was made to assess the distribution characteristics of afforested species under present and future climatic scenarios using ecological niche modelling. For sustainable forest management, landscape ecology can play a significant role. A significant change in the potential distribution of tree species is expected globally with changing climate. Ecological niche modeling provides the valuable information about the current and future distribution of species that can play crucial role in deciding the potential sites for afforestation which can be used by government institutes for afforestation programs. In this context, the potential distribution of 8 tree species, Cedrus deodara, Dalbergia sissoo, Juglans regia, Pinus wallichiana, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Senegalia modesta, Populus ciliata, and Vachellia nilotica was modeled. Results: Maxent species distribution model was used to predict current and future distribution of tree species using bioclimatic variables along with soil type and elevation. Future climate scenarios, shared socio-economic pathways (SSP)2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 were considered for the years 2041-2060 and 2081-2100. The model predicted high risk of decreasing potential distribution under SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 climate change scenarios for years 2041-2060 and 2081-2100, respectively. Recent afforestation conservation sites of these 8 tree species do not fall within their predicted potential habitat for SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5 climate scenarios. Conclusions: Each tree species responded independently in terms of its potential habitat to future climatic conditions. Cedrus deodara and P. ciliata are predicted to migrate to higher altitude towards north in present and future climate scenarios. Habitat of D. sissoo, P. wallichiana, J. regia, and V. nilotica is practiced to be declined in future climate scenarios. Eucalyptus camaldulensis is expected to be expanded its suitability area in future with eastward shift. Senegalia modesta habitat increased in the middle of the century but decreased afterwards in later half of the century. The changing and shifting forests create challenges for sustainable landscapes. Therefore, the study is an attempt to provide management tools for monitoring the climate change-driven shifting of forest landscapes.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data and evidence for the habitat improvement of wild birds in urban stream by analyzing changes in habitat characteristics of wild birds by riparian forest construction in Yangjae stream in Seoul. In Gangnam-gu, the multi layered riparian forest consisting of landscape trees and shrubs was formed on the slope. In Seocho-gu, the vertical vegetation structure of woody and herbaceous wetland plants was good. In Gangnam-gu, the vegetation area of the slope increased and the vertical stratification structure affected the species diversity of the forest birds. The number of species and individuals of plovers, sandpipers and wagtails decreased due to the impact of bicycle roads and trails. The poor forests on the levee slope in Seocho-gu affected the habitat selection and migration of the forest birds. The willows and amur silver-grasses formed in the riverside have been developed into the riparian forest, thus stabilizing the habitat of water birds by blocking disturbances from the influence of the trails.

본 연구는 붉가시나무(Quercus acuta Thunb.)를 대상으로 기후변화의 영향을 평가함에 있어 분산능력을 고려해보고자 하였다. 기후변화에 따른 붉가시나무의 잠재서식지 변화를 예측하기 위하여 종의 분포자료와 기후자료를 활용하여 종분포모형을 개발하였다. 종분포모형은 9개 알고리즘을 True Skill Statistic 평가 값 가중치로 합산하는 앙상블모형을 적용하여 불확실성을 줄이고자 하였다. 미래의 시간적 범위는 2050년과 2070년을 대상으로 하였으며, 기후변화 시나리오는 RCP4.5와 RCP8.5를 선정 하였다. 최종적인 미래 잠재서식지는 현재 적합서식지에서 분산능력에 따라 분산가능한지의 여부를 고려하여 결정하였다. 분산능력은 제한이 없는 경우(Unlimited)와 거리에 따른 분산 확률 함수에 3가지 계수값 (${\theta}=-0.005$, ${\theta}=-0.001$, ${\theta}=-0.0005$)을 적용하여 R 패키지인 Migclim을 사용하여 구현하였다. 2050년 RCP4.5 시나리오에서 계수값이 ${\theta}=-0.005$일 때 붉가시나무의 잠재서식지가 감소하였다. 그 이외의 경우에는 분산능력이 낮은 경우에도 한반도 내의 잠재서식지가 늘어났다. 하지만 분산능력을 고려하였을 경우 붉가시나무의 미래 잠재서식지 확장에는 한계가 분명하게 나타났다. 따라서 기후변화에 따른 미래 잠재서식지 예측에 있어서 분산능력을 고려하는 것이 중요하다고 판단된다.
