Abstract

The changes of forest habitats and maeulsoops(village forests) in Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea are examined using landscape indices and morphological pattern analysis, and their landscape-ecological implications on conserving biological diversity are presented. We used FRAGSTATS and GUIDOS software, as well as land cover maps(of 1989 and 2006) to analyze the spatial and temporal patterns of habitat composition and configuration in surrounding landscapes of 34 representative maeulsoops and Jinan-gun. The results showed decreases in the amount of core habitats and corridors and habitat connectivity at a regional scale since 1989. In addition, multi-scale habitat analysis at a focal scale revealed that the structural and functional connectivity between forest habitats surrounding maeulsoops of the year 2006 was lower than that of the year 1989. In order to reduce forest fragmentation and to enhance the connectivity among habitats, it is necessary to provide the additional habitat corridors as well as preserving existing corridors and surrounding landscapes of maeulsoops. We also suggest that a combination of landscape indices and morphological spatial pattern analysis can provide an effective tool to assess the habitat functions and configuration in a rapidly changing landscape.

이 연구는 진안군의 산림과 마을숲 주변 경관의 서식지 변화 과정을 경관지수와 서식지 형태 분석으로 밝히고, 생물다양성 보전을 위한 경관생태학적 함의를 제시하고자 수행되었다. FRAGSTATS과 GUIDOS 서식지 분석 프로그램에서 1989년과 2006년의 토지피복도를 활용하여 진안군 산림과 34개 대표적인 마을숲 주변 경관의 서식지 구성과 짜임을 분석하였다. 진안군 핵심과 통로 서식지의 면적, 서식지 연결성은 1989년보다 2006년에 낮았다. 또한, 마을숲 주변 서식지의 파편화 정도와 서식지의 구조적, 기능적 연결성은 1989년보다 2006년에 낮았다. 서식지 파편화를 감소시키고 연결성을 향상시키기 위해 기존에 존재하는 마을숲과 주변 생태통로를 보전하면서 새로운 생태통로를 조성해주는 전략이 필요하다. 본 연구의 경관지수와 서식지 형태 분석은 급격하게 변하는 경관에서 서식지 기능과 짜임을 분석하는 데 효과적인 기법으로 활용될 수 있다.
