Abstract

Changes in land cover or land use, such as changes in forest area, can cause changes in water and energy circulation, ultimately affecting overall hydrological cycle including stream flow, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and base flow. In this study, the changes of the hydrological processes over the past long period were simulated by using large-scale surface hydrologic model along with various soil, land use, vegetation, and meteorological data. For this purpose, this study simulated and evaluated the changes in the hydrological cycle for the past 50 years (1955-2010) in East Asia including China, Japan and South Korea. In particular, this study used the land cover maps which can properly reflect the vegetation condition for each simulation period. As results, the mean runoff ratio of China was estimated to be 47.0% over the entiree period, 62.7% in Japan and 49.4% in South Korea. The mean soil moisture of China was estimated to be 22.2%, 35.6% in Japan and 23.9% in South Korea. Finally, the mean evapotranspiration rate was estimated to be 52.7% in China, 37.3% in Japan and 50.4% in South Korea. Especially, in China, the hydrological cycle was found to be changed very much for the entire simulation period. However, in Japan, the hydrological cycle was found to be very stable for the entire simulation period. The hydrological cycle was also found to become stable mainly due to the stabilization of the vegetation.

산림면적의 변화와 같은 토지피복 또는 토지 이용의 변화는 물과 에너지 순환의 변화를 유발하여 궁극적으로 하천 유량, 증발산, 토양수분, 기저유량과 같은 수문순환 전반에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 지표수문모형과 다양한 토양, 토지이용, 식생, 기상 등의 자료를 이용하여 과거 장기간에 걸쳐 나타난 수문순환의 변화를 모의하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 동아시아에 해당하는 중국, 일본, 남한에서 나타난 과거 50여 년 간(1955-2010년)의 수문순환 변화를 모의하고 그 결과를 평가하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 시기별 동아시아 국가들의 식생분포를 적절히 반영하는 토지피복도를 선별하여 이용하였다. 수문순환 모의 결과, 전 기간에 걸쳐 중국의 유출률 평균이 47.0%로 나타나고, 일본의 경우에는 62.7%, 남한의 경우에는 49.4%로 나타났다. 전체 모의 기간에 따른 토양수분의 평균을 국가별로 살펴보면, 중국이 22.2%, 일본이 35.6%, 남한은 23.9%로 나타났다. 마지막으로 증발산의 경우, 중국의 경우 모의기간 전체에 대한 증발산율 평균은 52.7%, 일본은 37.3%, 남한은 50.4%로 모의되었다. 특히, 중국에서는 모의 시기별(1955-1990년, 1991-2000년, 2001-2010년)로 수문순환의 변화가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 일본은 식생 안정화에 따른 안정적인 수문순환 성분을 확인할 수 있었다. 아울러 남한에도 식생 안정화에 따른 수문순환 성분의 안정화가 다소 이루어지고 있는 것을 확인하였다.
