Abstract

Wetland conservation plan has been established to protect ecologically important wetlands based on vegetation integrity, spatial distribution of endangered species, but recently more demands are concentrated on the landscape ecological approaches such as topological relationship, neighboring area, spatial arrangements between wetlands at the broad scale. Landscape ecological analysis and graph theory are conducted to identify spatial characteristics related to core nodes and weak links of wetland networks in Nakdong basin. Regular planar model, which is selected for wetland networks, is applied in the Nakdong basin. The analysis indicates that 5 regional groups and 4 core wetlands are extracted with 15km threshold distance. The IIC and PC values based on the binary and probability models suggest that the wetland group C composed of main stream of Nakdong river and Geumho river is the most important area for wetland network. Wetland conservation plan, restoration projected of damaged and weak links between wetlands should be proposed through evaluating the node, links, and networks from wetlands at the local to the regional scale in Nakdong basin.

습지보전계획을 수립하는데 있어 식생의 온전성, 멸종위기종 출현여부 등 대상지역 위주의 습지평가방법에서 점차 주변지역이나 광역적인 위상관계, 연결성을 고려한 경관생태학적 접근방법에 의한 습지평가 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역에 분포하는 407개 습지를 대상으로 경관생태학적 접근방법과 그래프이론에 의해 습지생태네트워크 구축모형을 제시하였다. 습지의 물질순환, 철새이동루트 등 현지조사 자료가 부족한 낙동강 유역의 네트워크 분석에는 평면네트워크 그래프 모델을 적용하였으며, 연결성 분석은 임계거리를 15km로 설정하여 습지군집 5개와 핵심습지 4개를 도출하였다. 이진모형과 확률모형에 의한 통합연결성지수와 연결가능성지수를 계산한 결과, 5개 습지군집 및 핵심습지와 취약습지를 검증할 수 있었으며, 낙동강본류와 금호강지류에 위치한 습지군집이 습지생태네트워크에 있어 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 얻은 낙동강 유역의 습지군집과 네트워크, 취약습지 분포특성은 유역 단위의 습지보전 관리계획 수립, 습지복원사업을 실시하는데 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.
