Abstract

Exposure to high temperatures during the reproductive period of crops decreases their productivity. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) fifth Assessment Report predicts that the frequency of high temperatures will continue to increase in the future, resulting in significant impacts on the world's food supply. This study evaluate climate change-induced heat stress on four major agricultural crops (rice, maize, soybean, and wheat) at a global level, using the coupled atmosphere-ocean model of Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model version 2 (HadGEM2-AO) and FAO/IIASA Global Agro-Ecological Zone (GAEZ) model data. The maximum temperature rise ($1.8-3.5^{\circ}C$) during the thermal-sensitive period (TSP) from the baseline (1961-1990) to the future (2070-2090) is expected to be larger under a Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 8.5 climate scenario than under a RCP2.6 climate scenario, with substantial heat stress-related damage to productivity. In particular, heat stress is expected to cause severe damage to crop production regions located between 30 and $50^{\circ}N$ in the Northern Hemisphere. According to the RCP8.5 scenario, approximately 20% of the total cultivation area for all crops will experience unprecedented, extreme heat stress in the future. Adverse effects on the productivity of rice and soybean are expected to be particularly severe in North America. In Korea, grain demands are heavily dependent on imports, with the share of imports from the U.S. at a particularly high level today. Hence, it is necessary to conduct continuous prediction on food security level following the climate change, as well as to develop adaptation strategy and proper agricultural policy.

작물의 생산성은 생식기간 중 고온에 노출되면 감소한다. IPCC 5차 평가보고서는 고온의 빈도가 미래에 계속 증가할 것이며, 이는 세계 식량 공급에 영향을 미칠 것으로 전망하였다. 이 연구에서는 기상청의 Had GEM2-AO(the coupled atmosphere-ocean model of Hadley Centre Global Environmental Model version 2) 기후모델과 FAO/IIASA의 GAEZ(Global Agro-Ecological Zone) 작물모델 자료를 이용하여 전 지구 규모에서 4개의 주요 작물(쌀, 옥수수, 콩, 밀)에 대하여 기후변화로 인한 작물의 고온 스트레스를 평가하였다. 과거기간(1961~1990년)에 비해 미래(2070~2090년)에 생식기간 동안 최고기온은 약 $1.8{\sim}3.5^{\circ}C$ 상승할 것으로 전망되며, RCP2.6 시나리오에 비해 RCP8.5 시나리오에 따른 기온 상승이 더 클 것으로 전망된다. 특히 열 스트레스는 북반구 $30{\sim}50^{\circ}N$에 위치한 작물 생산 지역에 극심한 피해를 발생시킬 것으로 전망된다. RCP8.5 시나리오에 따르면 모든 작물에 대해서 전체 재배지역의 약 20%는 현재에 경험하지 못한 극단적인 고온 스트레스를 경험하게 될 것이며, 특히 북아메리카에서 쌀과 콩의 고온 스트레스 강도가 클 것으로 전망된다. 기후변화를 완화하기 위한 노력 없이 현재 추세대로 온실기체를 계속 배출한다면 온대 및 아열대 지역에서의 농업이 고온에 크게 영향을 받을 것으로 전망되며, 이는 작물의 대부분을 수입에 의존하는 우리나라 식량안보에 큰 위협이 될 수 있다. 그러므로 기후변화에 따른 식량안보에 대하여 지속적인 예측이 수행되어야 하며, 적응 전략 개발 및 적절한 농업 정책 등이 필요하다.
