Abstract

Since 2006, new national forest inventory in Korea has been restructured to assess current status and and monitor the changes in forest resources based on permanent sample plots. The objective of estimate this study is to assess changes in forest resources such as land use/cover categories and forest stand variables. For this study, permanent plot data were collected between 2006-2008 and 2011-2013 in Chungcheongbuk-do, respectively. In order to produce land use/cover change matrix which plays an important role as an activity data for estimating GreenHouse Gas inventory, permanent plots were classified into six land use/cover categories. Additionally, matrixes for assessing the changes in age class and dominant tree species can provide more detailed information. For forest stand variables(tree density, basal area, growing stock, mean diameter at breath height, and mean height), their growth and change were assessed. The periodic annual growth ratios for tree density and basal area were slightly declined whereas that of growing stock was estimated to be about 3.7%. The uncertainty of changes in forest stand variables is less than 5%, except for tree density (RSE: 58%). The variation of tree density is relatively high compared to the other variables.

국가산림자원조사는 고정표본점의 설치 및 재조사하여 산림자원의 현황 파악 및 변화를 모니터링하는 체계로 개편되었다. 본 연구에서는 충청북도를 대상으로 최근 3년간 재조사된 자료를 활용하여 시간경과에 따른 산림자원 변화 탐지를 위한 평가항목을 도출하고 이에 따른 평가방법을 제시하기 위하여 수행하였다. 조사시점에 따른 고정표본점의 토지이용변화는 온실가스 인벤토리의 중요한 활동자료로 활용이 가능하며, 이를 위해서는 초지를 포함한 6개 토지이용범주의 명확한 정의에 따른 고정표본점의 구분이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 임상 및 대표수종 변화의 경우, 조사차수별 매트릭스 구축에 의해 임상 및 대표수종의 변화 평가가 용이한 것으로 나타났으며, 충청북도의 경우 임목지로 유지된 624개 표본점 중에서 92개소(15%)에서 대표수종이 변화한 것으로 평가되었다. 한편, 5개 임분변수 (임목본수, 흉고단면적, 임분재적, 평균 흉고직경, 그리고 평균수고)에 대한 생장율과 변화량을 추정한 결과 임분밀도와 관련된 임목본수와 흉고단면적은 감소하였으며, 임분재적의 생장율은 약 3.7%로 분석되었다. 임분변수 변화량의 불확실성을 평가한 결과, 임목본수를 제외한 임분변수는 5% 이내로 정확도가 높지만, ha당 임목본수는 상대적으로 변화량이 크기 때문에 불확실성이 54.8%에 달하는 것으로 나타났다.
