Different vegetation indices from satellite images have been used for monitoring drought damages, and this study aimed to develop a drought index using NOAA/AVHRR NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and to analyze the temporal and spatial distribution of spring drought severity in North Korea from 1998 to 2001. A new drought index, DevNDVI(Deviation of NDVI), was defined as the difference between a monthly NDVI and average monthly NDVI at the same cover area, and the DevNDVI images at all years except for 2001 demonstrated the drought-damaged areas referred from various domestic and foreign publications. The vegetation of 2001 showed high vitality despite the least amount of rainfall among the target years, and the reason was investigated that higher temperature above normal average would shift the growing stages of plants ahead. Therefore, complementary methods like plant growth models or ground survey data should be adopted in order to evaluate drought-induced plant stress using satellite-based NDVI and to make up far the distortion induced by other environments than lack of precipitation.

본 연구의 목적은 토지피복의 입체적 분포가 도시기온의 변화에 작용하는 영향을 구명하여 열섬현상 완화에 기여할 도시조경의 전략을 모색하는 것이다. 연구대상지는 서울시 24개 AWS 지점별 직경 300m 공간이었고, 대상공간의 여름철 에너지 수지 및 기온에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다양한 변수의 자료를 구득하였다. 또한, 춘천시에서 연구목적을 고려한 6개 지점을 선정하여 기온을 실측하고, 기온변화에 더 민감하게 반응할 30m 소공간의 지점별 토지피복을 실사하여 서울시 의 경우와 비교하였다. 서울시 AWS 지점의 여름철 기온을 추정하는 단순회귀모델을 도출한 결과, 식생체적, 녹지면적, 건물체적, 건물면적, 인구밀도, 포장로면적 등의 변수가 통계적으로 유의하게 여름철 기온변화에 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 이들 중 기온변화의 설명력이 가장 높은 변수는 식생체적과 건물체적이었다. 기온변화에 유의한 변수들을 조합하여 유도한 다중회귀모델에서도 식생체적과 건물체적의 양 변수가 통계적으로 가장 적합한 모델을 생성하였다. 이 다중회귀모델에 따르면 식생체적의 10% 증가는 기온을 약 0.14% 감소시킨 반면, 건물체적의 10% 증가는 기온을 0.26% 증가시켰다. 소공간스케일에서 실측한 춘천시의 여름철 기온과 토지피복 간의 상관성 역시, 기온은 식생체적, 녹지면적 등의 증가에 따라 감소하는 반면 하드스케이프 면적의 증가에 비례하여 상승하는 경향이었다. 식생체적 변수를 적용하여 가장 적합한 단순회귀모델을 도출한 결과, 소공간스케일의 여름철 기온은 서울시 AWS 지점의 단순회귀모델과 유사하게 식생체적을 10% 증가시킴에 따라 0.32%($0.08^{\circ}C$)씩 감소하였다. 본 연구에 근거하면, 여름철 기온저감을 지향하는 도시조경은 식생체적을 증가시키면서 동시에 건물체적을 감소시키는 전략이 요구된다. 서울시 AWS 지점의 기온변화에 기여하는 건물체적의 영향력은 식생체적보다 약 2배 큰 것으로 분석된다. 따라서, 자연지반에서는 다층식재를 추진하여 식생체적을 확충하되, 건물의 입체적 표면에 의한 대기 가열을 제어하기 위해 벽면과 옥상의 녹화로 식물의 차양 및 증발산 효과를 증진해야 한다.

The micrometeorological tower flux network is the cornerstone of the global terrestrial vegetation monitoring. The eddy covariance technique used for tower fluxes is derived from the conservation of mass and is most applicable for steady-state conditions over flat, extended, and uniform vegetation. This technique allows us to obtain surface fluxes of energy budget components, greenhouse and trace gases, and other pollutants. The quality-controlled flux data are invaluable to validate various models with temporal scales ranging from minutes to years and spatial scales ranging from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers. In this paper, we review the theoretical background of this important eddy covariance technique, examine the measurement criteria and corrections, and finally suggest some measurement strategies that may facilitate coordinated flux measurements among different disciplines and provide a strong infrastructure for the global flux network.

Since enactment of the Baekdu-Mountain Range protection law in Dec. 31st 2003, great interest arose in recovery of the natural environment in the Baekdu-Mountain Range. Since the Baekdu-Mountain Range has formed boundaries between different regions and it is the mountain that crosses our country from East to West, there are so many roads that penetrate this area. Slopes made by the construction of roads have poor foundation for the growth of vegetation and it takes a long period to restore only with natural restoration force. For this reason, various methods of revegetation to restore the damages are implemented but until now, revegetation of domestic soil cutting slopes are mainly covered by foreign import grasses to stabilize and cover grounds early. As we depended upon foreign import grasses for slopes revegetation, the landscape did not match in harmony with surrounding vegetation and therefore, we could see that these foreign grasses are withered in 2~3 years after the revegetation works and slopes become barren again. However, currently, there are no applicable standards for designs of green hill, desirable revegetation methods for the hill areas, roads and recovery models. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the status of revegetation plants and revegetation methods for the hill areas of the Baekdu-Mountain Range (azimuth, degree of tilt, and tilted places). Based on this, we attempted to find the desirable recovery models for the hill areas of the Baekdu-Mountain Range.

Sixty four percent of Korean territory consists of forest which is fragile for forest fire. However, it is difficult to detect the disaster-induced damages due to topographic complexity in mountainous areas and harsh weather conditions. For this reason, satellite imaging systems have been widely utilized to detect the damage caused by forest fire. In particular, ground vegetation condition can be estimated from multi-spectral satellite images and change detection technique has been used to detect forest fire damages. However, since Korea has clear four seasons, simple change detection technique has limitation. In this regard, this study applied the NDVI(normalized difference vegetation index) annual cycle modeling technique on time-series of Landsat images from 1991 to 2007 to analyze influence of forest fire of Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do in 2005 on vegetation condition. The encouraging result was obtained when comparing the areas where forest fire occurs with non-damaged areas. The mean value of NDVI was decreased by 0.07 before and after the forest fire. On the other hand, annual variability of NDVI had been increasing and peak value of NDVI was stationary after the forest fire. It is interpreted that understory vegetation was seriously damaged from the forest fire occurred in 2005.

Oceanic islands are biologically important for their unique assemblages of species and high levels of endemism and are sensitive to environmental change because of their isolation and small species source pools. Habitat destruction caused by human landscape development is generally accepted as the main cause of extinction on islands, with exotic species invasion a secondary cause of extinction, especially on tropical islands. However, secondary impacts of human development (e.g., general degradation through resource use and exotic species introduction) are understudied on temperate islands. To determine secondary impacts of human development on the understory vegetation community, 90 field sites on Ulleung Island, South Korea, were sampled during the summer of 2016. Understory vegetation was chosen as it is a proxy for ecosystem health. Diversity and percent cover of introduced, native, and endemic species were tested against proximity to developed areas and trail usage using a model selection approach. Diversity was also tested against percent cover of three naturalized species commonly found in survey plots. The main finding was that distance to development, distance to town, and trail usage have limited negative impacts on the understory vegetation community within best-supported models predicting native and introduced cover and diversity. However, endemic species cover was significantly lower on high usage trails. While there are no apparent locally invasive plant species on the island at the time of this study, percent cover of Robinia pseudoacacia, a naturalized tree species, negatively correlated with plot diversity. These findings indicate that forests on Ulleung Island are not experiencing a noticeable invasion of understory vegetation, and conservation efforts can be best spent preventing future invasions.

산불 피해지에서 지상부 식생 구조와 표토층(< 15 cm)에 분포하는 세근의 관계를 분석하여 지상부 식생 구조를 이용한 표토층 세근의 예측 모형을 구하였다. 산불 피해지의 산불 초기에 지상부 식생과 마찬가지로 표토층에 분포하는 세근량(FRT)도 공간정 이질성을 나타내고 있었다. 산불 후 초기 3년차 이내의 표토층에 분포하는 2 mm 이하의 세근량은 $3\sim166$ g $DM/m^2$을 나타내었다. 산불 피해 후 자연 복원지와 벌목 조림지 모두에서 FRT는 지상부 식생 구조를 나타내는 식생치(특히 Ivc)와 매우 밀접한 관련성을 보여주었다. 산불피해 후 녹화사방한 지소의 FRT는 녹화 사방한 해로부터의 경과 년 수와 매우 밀접한 관련성을 나타내었다. 녹화 사방지의 FRT는 자연 복원지나 벌목 조림지에 비해 훨씬 많았는데, 그 이유는 뿌리의 발달이 왕성한 협엽성 초본의 왕성한 생장 때문이었다. 자연 복원지에서 지상부식생지수(Ivc)의 증가에 따른 FRT의 변화는 Ivc의 증가에 따라 포물선의 형태로 증가하는 2차 함수식으로 나타낼 수 있었다. 산불피해지에서 지상부 식생 지수(Ivc)는 시간 경과에 따라 로그 함수적으로 증가하지만, FRT는 산불 피해 후 초기 15년차까지는 증가하지만 그 이후에는 다소 감소할 것으로 예측되었다. 지상부 식생구조가 발달한 산불 피해지의 천이 후기 단계에서 FRT의 감소는 식생지수(Ivc)에 대한 목본종의 기여도가 뿌리의 발달에 기여도가 큰 초본의 기여도보다 커지기 때문이다. 결론적으로 산불 피해지에서 FRT의 예측에 지상부 식생치(Ivc)를 이용할 수 있다.
