Abstract

Whereas recent researches have elucidated the positive ecological roles of large wood (LW) in fishbearing channels, LW is also recognized as a negative factor of log-laden debris flows and floods in densely populated areas. However in Republic of Korea, no study has investigated longitudinal variations of LW distribution and dynamic along the stream corridor. Hence to elucidate 1) physical factors controlling longitudinal distribution of LW and 2) their effect on variation in LW load amount, we surveyed the amount of LW with respect to channel morphology in a mountain stream, originated from Mt. Ki-ryong in Inje, Gangwondo. Model selection in the Generalized Linear Model procedure revealed that number of boulder (greater than or equal to 1.0 m in diameter), bankfull channel width and their interaction were the best predictors explaining LW load volume per unit channel segment area (unit LW load). In general, boulders scattered within small mountain streams influence LW retention as flow obstructions. However, in this study, we found that the effect of the boulders vary with the channel width; that is, whereas the unit LW load in the segment with narrow channel width increased continuously with increasing boulder number, it in the segment with wide channel width did not depend on the boulder number. This should be because that, in two channels having different widths, the rates of channel widths reduced by boulders are different although boulder numbers are same. Our findings on LW load varying with physical factors (i.e., interaction of boulder number and channel width) along the stream corridor suggest understanding for longitudinal continuum of hydrogeomorphic and ecologic characteristics in stream environments, and these should be carefully applied into the erosion control works for systematic watershed management and subsequent disaster prevention.

수변역을 구성하는 중요한 요소인 유목은 유역의 생태적 환경에 영향을 미치는 동시에 재해의 요인으로서 인간생활권에 악영향을 미치기도 한다. 그럼에도 불구하고 우리나라에서는 유목의 발생, 이동 및 체류특성에 대한 구체적인 연구가 진행되고 있지 않다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 산지계류에 있어서 유목체류의 종단적 분포의 이질성에 영향을 미치는 인자를 규명하고, 그에 따른 유목체류량의 변화를 해석하기 위해 강원도 인제군에 위치한 기룡산 유역을 대상으로 유목의 종단적 분포특성을 파악하였다. 조사 결과, 조사구간의 평균계폭, 직경 1 m 이상의 거력의 개수 및 이들 간의 상호관계가 유목체류량을 설명하는 최적의 예측자로서 나타났다. 일반적으로 산지계류에 분포하고 있는 거력은 유목의 이동을 방해하는 장해물로서 유목체류에 적절한 물리적 환경을 조성한다. 그러나 이 연구에서는 이러한 거력의 영향이 산지계류의 규모에 따라 다르게 나타나는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 계폭이 좁은 구간의 경우 산지계류 내에 분포하는 거력의 개수가 증가함에 따라 유목체류량 역시 지속적으로 증가한 반면, 계폭이 큰 구간의 경우 유목체류량에 미치는 거력의 개수의 영향이 작은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 계폭이 다른 두 지역에 있어서 동일한 양의 거력들이 존재할 경우 이들에 의한 계폭의 감소비율이 다르기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 이러한 유목의 종단적 분포특성 및 이에 영향을 미치는 생태적 물리적 환경을 고려한 계통적이고 체계적인 사방사업이 실시되어야 할 것이다.
