Abstract

Korea now boasts a vastly forested landscape resulting from a successful forest restoration projects carried out in the past several decades. However, Korea's forest now face new challenges, such as the rapidly increasing mature forests, climate change, and various novel forest disturbances with both natural and anthropogenic causes. Considering the extensive spatial and temporal scale of the forests and the challenges it face, it is necessary to utilize a tool that can properly tackle the issues with such nature. This brings our attention to Forest Landscape Models, which have been actively developed and used to improve our understanding of how forests respond to a variety of changes and to satisfy the society's demand on forests and its ecosystem services. A large variety of Forest Landscape Models exist, with a wide spectrum of algorithms, various selections of ecological processes they simulate, and the spatial and temporal scale they utilize, so that any researcher may find a model that fits one's use. However, it is important to properly understand the properties of such models so that the right model is used and the results are aptly interpreted. In this study, we describe and characterize the various Forest Landscape Models based on their historical roots, lineages, and development, ecological characteristics, and computational aspects, and discuss how they can be classified and what limits should be recognized to assist in model selection and utilization.

이 논문은 산림 경관 모형의 역사적 발전 양상과 특성, 그리고 이를 유형화하는 다양한 방식과 기준을 살펴보았다. 우리나라는 성공적인 조림 사업을 통해 대규모 산림 녹화의 성공적 수행이라는 성과를 올렸으나, 증가하는 성숙림과 기후변화의 대두, 그리고 다양한 산림 교란의 발생과 같은 새로운 도전에 직면하게 되었다. 이에 따라 넓은 면적과 높은 다양성을 지닌 산림이 향후 장기간에 걸쳐 어떤 변화를 맞이할 수 있으며, 어떤 관리가 산림의 다양한 가치와 생태계 서비스를 극대화시킬 수 있을 것인지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 산림 경관 모형은 이렇게 광범위한 시공간적 규모에서의 산림 변화와 관리의 문제에 효과적으로 대응하기 위한 접근 방식이며, 다양한 목적과 특성을 지닌 많은 종류의 모형이 활발히 개발되고 적용되어 왔다. 그런데 모형의 종류가 매우 다양할 뿐 아니라 모사하는 현상과 알고리즘, 모형의 특성 등의 변이가 매우 크기에 연구자들이 적절한 모형을 선택하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 현재 활발하게 활용되고 있는 다양한 모형의 특징을 정리하고 현재의 현황과 앞으로의 과제를 살펴봄으로써 적절한 모형의 선정과 적용, 해석에 도움이 되고자 하였다.
