Abstract

The purpose of this study is to estimate diameter distribution, volume per hectare, and carbon stock for Quercus variabilis stand. 354 Quercus variabilis stands were selected on the basis of age and structure, the data and samples for these stands are collected. For the prediction of diameter distribution, Weibull model was applied and for the estimation of the parameters, a simplified method-of-moments was applied. To verify the accuracy of estimates, models were developed using 80% of the total data and validation was done on the remaining 20%. For the verification of the model, the fitness index, the root mean square error, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics were used. The fitness index of the site index, height, and volume equation estimated from verification procedure were 0.967, 0.727, and 0.988 respectively and the root mean square error were 2.763, 1.817, and 0.007 respectively. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test applied to Weibull function resulted in 75%. From the models developed in this research, the estimated volume and above-ground carbon stock were derived as $188.69m^3/ha$, 90.30 tC/ha when site index and stem number of 50-years-old Quercus variabilis stand show 14 and 697 respectively. The results obtained from this study may provide useful information about the growth of broad-leaf species and prediction of carbon stock for Quercus variabilis stand.

본 연구의 목적은 굴참나무 임분의 직경분포와 ha당 재적 및 탄소량을 추정하는데 있다. 영급과 임분구조를 고려하여 굴참나무 임분에서 354개소를 조사하고 시료를 수집하였다. 임령에 따른 직경분포를 파악하기 위하여 Weibull 모형을 사용하였으며 모수의 추정은 단순적률법(Simplified method-of-moments)을 이용하였다. 사용된 자료 중에서 80%는 모형개발에 사용하였고, 나머지 20%는 개발된 모형의 검정에 사용하였다. 모형의 검정에는 적합도지수(Fitness Index)와 평균오차제곱(Root Mean Square Error), Kolmogorov-Smirnov 통계치가 이용되었다. 검정자료에서 추정된 지위지수, 수고, 재적식의 적합도지수는 각각 0.967, 0.727, 0.988이고 평균오차제곱은 2.763, 1.817, 0.007이며, Weibull 모형의 Kolmogorov-Smirnov 적합도는 75%를 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 모형에서 50년생의 굴참나무임분이 14의 지위지수와 697본의 분수를 나타내는 경우, 재적은 $188.69m^3/ha$이고 지상부 탄소량은 90.30 tC/ha으로 추정되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 활엽수 수종에 대한 생장정보의 제공이 가능하고 굴참나무 탄소량 추정에 활용이 가능하다.
