This study was conducted to suggest the ecological restoration and environmentally friendly revegetation technology for the rock-exposed cut-slopes by the Natural Topsoil Restoration Methods (NTRM) with the following restoration objectives; (1) prevention or reduction of wind and water erosion, (2) provision of food and cover for variety of animal species, (3) improvement of the visual or aesthetic quality of the disturbed slopes. On Nov. in 1995, the 5cm thick layer of artificial soil and 2cm thick layer of straw-mulching was attached at rock-exposed cut-slopes by NTRM without using anchor wire and anchor pin. The main results during four years surveying on the ground-coverage effect, plant growth, species diversity and importance values were summarized as follows. 1. Artificial soil attached at rock exposed cut-slopes was not eroded until recovered by tree and herbaceous vegetation in spite of not using anchor wire and anchor pin. Also it shows low soil hardiness and has almost the same amount of bacteria and fungi with in surrounding natural topsoil. 2. In 'combination for the woody vegetation', Lespedeza cyrtobotrya, Albizzia julibrissin, Rhus chinensis, Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria occupied upper layer vegetation. Since three years after seeding, Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria had overwhelmed the other woody plants and cool season foreign grasses, Erigeron canadensis, Taraxacum mongolicum, Commelina communis, Arundinella hirta (Thunberg) and Oenothera erythrosepala grows at lower part of the vegetation, 3. The heights of the Rhus chinensis grows 1.8m, Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria 2.0m, so it seems that the objectives of woody vegetation with native plants could be accomplished. 4. After 4 years later after seeding in 'combination for the herbaceous vegetation', the most dominant plant was Indigofera pseudo-tinctoria, the next was in order of cool-season grasses, Taraxacum mongolicum, Erigeron canadensis, lxeris dentata (Thunberg), Oenothera erythrosepala, Arundinella hirta (Thunberg). The diversity index in 'combination for woody vegetation' was higher than that in 'combination for the herbaceous vegetation'. The tendency of the intrusion of secondary succession plants was more effective in 'combination for the herbaceous vegetation' than in 'combination for the woody vegetation'.

식생의 광학적 특성을 기반으로 만들어진 식생지수들은 식물의 생물생산량뿐만 아니라 생리적 활성을 나타내고 있다. 식생지수의 활용은 위성에 장착된 다중분광 광학 센서의 발달에 힘입은 바가 크지만, 관측 공간규모에 따라 식생지수의 민감도가 달라질 수 있어 여러 규모에서의 비교 관측이 요구된다. 특히 광화학반사지수(PRI, Photochemical Reflectance Index)는 광합성능과 식물 스트레스 탐지에 유용한 것으로 알려져 있지만 올바른 해석을 위한 다양한 공간규모에서의 선행연구가 드물다. 본 연구에서는 드론에 장착된 다중분광 카메라, 소형 필드 초분광계, 휴대용 잎 반사계를 이용해 마늘 작물을 대상으로 서로 다른 공간규모의 PRI를 평가하였다. 잎 규모에서 하루 중 PRI는 잎의 윗면이 향하는 방위에 따라 서로 다른 시간에 최저값을 보였으며, 이는 어떤 순간에 잎마다 다른 광이용효율(LUE, Light Use Efficiency) 상태라는 것을 의미한다. 잎 규모에서는 식생피복율에 영향을 받지 않으므로 PRI 생물계절적 변화는 생육 초기에 개체 및 군락 규모보다 값이 높게 나타났다. 개체 및 군락 규모에서 PRI는 생물량을 나타내는 NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)와는 달리 공간적 변동성이 크게 나타났다. 반면, 지상의 개체들 규모의 식생지수를 드론 영상의 관측 지점 값과 비교해 보면 NDVI에 비해 PRI가좀더 좋은 일치도를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 서로 다른 공간규모에서 관측된 PRI를 이해하고 활용하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

생태계를 구성하는 주요 요소인 식생은 생물다양성 보전과 지속가능 발전의 기반으로 보전의 필요성이 높다. 개발로 인한 자연훼손을 방지할 수 있는 가장 직접적이고 효율적인 정책 수단인 환경영향평가에서 식생 관련한 평가는 정량적·객관적이지 못한 한계가 존재한다. 또한, 영향평가가 보호종의 존재 여부에 집중되어 있어 광역적 차원에서 서식처로서 식생의 역할을 고려하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 공간데이터를 활용하여 개발사업으로 인해 식생이 받는 영향을 다각도로 검토하고 향후 식생 환경영향평가의 정량화·고도화에 기여하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해 선행연구 검토를 통해 거시적인 측면에서 식생 영향평가 시 다루어야 하는 항목으로 현재 활용하고 있는 식생보전등급 외에 핵심 면적, 연결성, 식생상태를 도출하였다. 각 항목을 토지피복도와 위성영상을 활용하여 공간적으로 구축하고 시계열 변화분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 모든 항목에서 개발로 인해 식생이 지속적으로 악화되고 있으며, 특히 환경영향평가 대상사업지 내부뿐 아니라 주변 지역에도 악영향이 있음을 규명하였다. 본 연구를 통해 데이터를 기반으로 한 식생부문 환경영향평가의 개선방향을 제시하였으나, 실제 환경영향평가에 적용하기 위해서는 보다 구체적인 방법론이 정립될 필요성이 있다. 다양한 환경공간자료를 적극 활용하여 개발사업으로 인해 자연생태계가 받는 영향을 보다 정량적·과학적으로 평가함으로써 개발사업이 자연생태계에 미치는 영향을 최소화하고, 효과적인 저감대책 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

The development of drought index that provides detailed-spatial-resolution drought information is essential for improving drought planning and preparedness. The objective of this study was to develop the concept of using satellite-based hybrid drought index called the Vegetation Drought Response Index in South Korea (VegDRI-SKorea) that could improve spatial resolution for monitoring local and regional drought. The VegDRI-SKorea was developed using the Classification And Regression Trees (CART) algorithm based on remote sensing data such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from MODIS satellite images, climate drought indices such as Self Calibrating Palmer Drought Severity Index (SC-PDSI) and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), and the biophysical data such as land cover, eco region, and soil available water capacity. A case study has been done for the 2012 drought to evaluate the VegDRI-SKorea model for South Korea. The VegDRI-SKorea represented the drought areas from the end of May and to the severe drought at the end of June. Results show that the integration of satellite imageries and various associated data allows us to get improved both spatially and temporally drought information using a data mining technique and get better understanding of drought condition. In addition, VegDRI-SKorea is expected to contribute to monitor the current drought condition for evaluating local and regional drought risk assessment and assisting drought-related decision making.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the future potential climate and vegetation canopy change impact on a dam watershed hydrology. A $6,661.5\;km^2$ dam watershed, the part of Han-river basin which has the watershed outlet at Chungju dam was selected. The SWAT model was calibrated and verified using 9 year and another 7 year daily dam inflow data. The Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency ranged from 0.43 to 0.91. The Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis (CCCma) Coupled Global Climate Model3 (CGCM3) data based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) SRES (Special Report Emission Scenarios) B1 scenario was adopted for future climate condition and the data were downscaled by artificial neural network method. The future vegetation canopy condition was predicted by using nonlinear regression between monthly LAI (Leaf Area Index) of each land cover from MODIS satellite image and monthly mean temperature was accomplished. The future watershed mean temperatures of 2100 increased by $2.0^{\circ}C$, and the precipitation increased by 20.4 % based on 2001 data. The vegetation canopy prediction results showed that the 2100 year LAI of deciduous, evergreen and mixed on April increased 57.1 %, 15.5 %, and 62.5% respectively. The 2100 evapotranspiration, dam inflow, soil moisture content and groundwater recharge increased 10.2 %, 38.1 %, 16.6 %, and 118.9 % respectively. The consideration of future vegetation canopy affected up to 3.0%, 1.3%, 4.2%, and 3.6% respectively for each component.

The purpose of this study is to figure out the structural characteristics of urban plant community and suggest restoration model of Quercus mongolica in the case of Korean national Capital Region. The investigation areas were selected from urban area of Mt. Nam at Chung-Gu, suburban areas of Mt. Bong at Eunpyoung-GU, Mt. Sungju at Buchon City and non-urban areas of Mt. Suri at Kunpu City and Mt. Chonma t namyangju-City. After the main study field had been classified into the evaluation of the ecological characteristics and the modeling of the vegetation. We analyzed to evaluate the ecological characteristics of the forest structure -- successional stage, naturalness, multi-layer structure of the forest and species diversity, and the plant community structures. We have proposed vegetation restoration model based on the selection of proper plants, the number of individuals, diameter short area of breast height, the shortest distance between plants in non-urban area. As for successional stage, It was judged that the ecological succession may not be followed like the present stage of the surveyed areas in urban, suburban and non-ruban areas. As for the retention of naturalness and multi-layer structures of vegetation, In Quercus mongolica community, Robinia pseudo-acacia and Ailanthus altissima occurred in each layers at Mt. Nam, Mt. Bong and Mt. Sungju, and Eupatorium rugosum occurred in herbaceous layer at Mt. Nam. Consequently, the ecological restoration plan following the structure of the vegetation in Mt. Chonma seemed to be advisable in Q. mongolica community, there were less number of species and individuals in urban areas than those of non-urban areas. Planting of trees following the simulated native plant community of non-urban areas seemed to be required to promote the plants in urban areas. Considering the number of individuals up to three layers in each 400$m^2$ area, it was composed of twenty nine in canopy layer, forth nine in understory layer, 367 in shrub layer and 33.7% herbaceous ground cover in the Q.mongolica community. The suggested restoration model in this study is nan applicable model for the introduction in the cities, and this study shows that continuous experiments and field investigation on this model should be performed in the future.

Background: The positive effects of Arctic plants on the soil environment and plant-species co-occurrence patterns are known to be particularly important in physically harsh environments. Although three dominant plants (Cassiope tetragona, Dryas octopetala, and Silene acaulis) are abundant in the Arctic ecosystem at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, few studies have examined their occurrence patterns with other species and their buffering effect on soil-temperature and soil-moisture fluctuation. To quantify the plant-species co-occurrence patterns and their positive effects on soil environments, I surveyed the vegetation cover, analyzed the soil-chemical properties (total carbon, total nitrogen, pH, and soil organic matter) from 101 open plots, and measured the daily soil-temperature and soil-moisture content under three dominant plant patches and bare soil. Results: The Cassiope tetragona and Dryas octopetala communities increased the soil-temperature stability; however, the three dominant plant communities did not significantly affect the soil-moisture stability. Non-metric multidimensional scaling separated the sampling sites into three groups based on the different vegetation compositions. The three dominant plants occurred randomly with other species; however, the vegetation composition of two positive co-occurring species pairs (Oxyria digyna-Cerastium acrticum and Luzula confusa-Salix polaris) was examined. The plant species richness did not significantly differ in the three plant communities. Conclusions: The three plant communities showed distinctive vegetation compositions; however, the three dominant plants were randomly and widely distributed throughout the study sites. Although the facilitative effects of the three Arctic plants on increases in the soil-moisture fluctuation and richness were not quantified, this research enables a deeper understanding of plant co-occurrence patterns in Arctic ecosystems and thereby contributes to predicting the shift in vegetation composition and coexistence in response to climate warming. This research highlights the need to better understand plant-plant interactions within tundra communities.

연구목적: UAV기반의 사진측량은 기존 항공촬영에 비해 비용이 절감될 뿐만 아니라 원하는 시간과 장소에 대한 고해상도의 데이터를 취득하기 용이하기 때문에, 공간정보 분야에서도 UAV를 활용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 UAV 기반의 고해상도 영상을 활용하여 토지피복 분류를 수행하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 고해상도 영상의 획득을 위하여 RGB카메라를 사용하였으며, 추가적으로 식생지역을 정확하게 분류하기 위해서 다중분광 카메라를 사용하여 동일 지역을 추가 촬영하였다. 최종적으로 RGB 및 다중분광 카메라를 이용하여 생성된 정사영상, DSM(Digital Surface Model), NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), GLCM(Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix)을 이용하여 대표적인 감독분류기법인 RF(Random Forest)방법을 이용해 총 7개 클래스에 대해 토지피복분류를 수행하였다. 연구결과: 분류정확도 평가를 위해 오차행렬을 기반으로 한 정확도 평가를 실시하였으며, 정확도 평가 결과 RGB 영상만을 이용한 감독분류결과와 비교하여 제안 방법이 해당 지역의 클래스를 효과적으로 분류할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 결론: 본 연구에서 제안한 정사영상, 다중분광영상, NDVI, GLCM을 모두 추가한 경우 기존의 정사영상만을 이용하였을 때 보다 높은 정확도를 나타냈다. 추후 연구로는 추가적인 입력자료의 개발을 통해 분류 정확도를 향상시키고자 한다.
