Abstract

The present study was carried out to evaluate arthropod predators (Araneae, Carabidae, Staphylinidae, and Formicidae) as bioindicator for forest disturbance. We selected 12 study sites according to disturbance intensities caused by fire intensity and recovery methods at Goseong, Gangneung, and Samcheok in Gangwondo. Intensities of disturbance were characterized as follows: 0 (no fire), 1 (surface fire), 2 (crown fire), and 3 (crown fire followed by reforestation). Arthropod predators were captured using pitfall trap. Species richness and abundance of Araneae, Carabidae, Staphylinidae, and Formicidae were not different along disturbance intensities. However, species richness and abundance of grassland ants significantly increased in higher disturbance intensities. Abundance of grassland ants such as Formica japonica and Camponotus japonicas linearly decreased along litter depth. Furthermore, ant communities were clustered along disturbance intensities. In a one-time survey, ants may be most useful as bioindicator for forest disturbance among the four predator taxa, because ants actively forage for long seasons.

본 연구는 절지동물 포식자인 개미, 거미, 딱정벌레, 반날개의 산림교란에 대한 생물지표의 가능성을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 강원도 고성, 강릉, 삼척에서 다른 산불강도와 복원방법에 의해 생긴 교란강도에 따라 12개의 조사지를 선정했다. 조사지의 교란강도는 미피해지(DD=0), 지표화 피해지(DD=1), 수관화 피해지(DD=2), 수관화피해 후 인공복원지(DD=3)로 구분하였다. 절지동물 포식자는 함정트랩법을 이용하여 채집하였다. 거미, 딱정벌레, 반날개, 개미의 종수와 풍부도는 교란강도에 따라 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 그러나, 초지성 개미의 종수와 풍부도는 교란강도가 높을 수록 증가했고, 초지성 개미인 곰개미와 일본왕개미는 낙엽층 두께가 깊을 수록 선형적으로 감소했다. 또한, 개미의 군집구조는 교란강도별로 나누어졌다. 개미는 장기간에 걸쳐 먹이섭식활동을 활발하게 하기 때문에, 단 한 차례의 조사일 경우에는 4가지 포식자 분류군중에서 개미가 산림교란에 대한 생물지표로 가장 유용하였다.
