수관화 위험성 평가에 필요한 소나무 수관층 연료특성을 분석하기 위해 수관 부위별로 연료량을 추정할 수 있는 상대생장식을 개발하고, 수관연료밀도를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 대구 팔공산의 소나무 임분을 대상으로 10본의 소나무를 벌채하고, 수간, 가지, 잎 부분의 고사여부와 가지의 굵기 별로 구분하여 무게를 측정하였다. 상대생장식은 흉고직경(D) 또는 흉고직경과 수고(H)를 이용하는 회귀식을 이용하여 추정하였다. 평균적으로 추정식 lnWt=${\alpha}+{\beta}lnD+{\gamma}lnH$의 결정계수가 가장 높고(${R^2}_{adj}$=0.835-0.996) 표준추정오차가 가장 낮았지만(SEE=0.074-0.638), 잎과 작은 가지 항목에서는 추정식들간 결정계수 및 표준추정오차의 차이가 미미하였다. 각 부위별 연료량을 수관체적으로 나눈 수관연료 밀도는 잎만을 고려했을 때 0.067 kg/$m^3$, 잎과 직경이 0.5 cm 이하인 가지까지 포함했을 때 0.097 kg/$m^3$로 나타났다. 흉고직경이 증가함에도 잎과 잔가지 부위의 수관연료밀도 증가폭은 미미하였다.
To analyze the characteristics of canopy fuel in Pinus densiflora stand, which is essential to assess the crown fire hazard, allometric equations for estimation of crown fuel biomass were developed by subjectively categorized crown fuel component and crown bulk density was analyzed by available fuel component categories. Ten trees were destructively sampled at Pinus densiflora stand in Mt. Palgong in Daegu and their crown fuels were weighed separately for each fuel category by size classes and by living and dead. Regression equations that estimate crown fuel load by diameter at breast height(D) or additional total height(H) were derived. The adjusted coefficient of determination values were the highest (${R^2}_{adj}$=0.835-0.996) and standard error of estimate were the lowest (SEE=0.074-0.638) in the allometric equation lnWt=${\alpha}+{\beta}lnD+{\gamma}lnH$ in average. However, in needles and small branches categories, the differences in ${R^2}_{adj}$ and SEE between equations were not significant. Crown bulk density (CBD), which was calculated by crown fuel load divided by crown volume, was 0.067 kg/$m^3$ in average when only needles were considered as available crown fuel and 0.097 kg/$m^3$ when needles and branches (0-0.5 cm diameter) were considered. The increments of CBD of needles and small branches were little even when diameter at breast height increased.
