Abstract

The purpose of this study is to perform clustering of the habitat types and to identify the characteristics of species in the habitat types using mammal data (70,562) of the 3rd National Ecosystem Survey conducted from 2006 to 2012. The 15 habitat types recorded in the field-paper of the 3rd National ecosystem survey were reclassified, which was followed by the statistical analysis of mammal habitat types. In the habitat types cluster analysis, non-hierarchical cluster analysis (k-means cluster analysis), hierarchical cluster analysis, and non-metric multidimensional scaling method were applied to 14 habitat types recorded more than 30 times. A total of 7 Orders, 16 Families, and 39 Species of mammals were identified in the 3rd National Ecosystem Survey collected nationwide. When 11 clusters were classified by habitat types, the simple structure index was the highest (ssi = 0.07). As a result of the similarities and hierarchies between habitat types suggested by the hierarchical clustering analysis, the residential areas were the most different habitat types for mammals; the next following type was a cluster together with rivers and coasts. The results of the non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis demonstrated that both Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus restrictively appeared in a residential area, which is the most discriminating habitat type. Lutra lutra restrictively appeared in coastal and river areas. In summary, according to our results, the mammalian habitat can be divided into the following four types: (1) the forest type (using forest as the main habitat and migration route); (2) the river type (using water as the main habitat); (3) the residence habitat (living near residential area); and (4) the lowland type (consuming grain or seeds as the main feeding resource).

본 연구는 2006년부터 2012년까지 수행된 제3차 전국자연환경조사 포유류 데이터(70,562개)를 활용하여 국내에서 서식하는 포유류의 서식지 유형을 클러스터링하고 서식지 유형에 나타나는 종의 특징을 파악하고자 하였다. 제3차 전국자연환경조사의 야장에 기록된 서식지 유형 중에서 15개의 키워드를 뽑아 재분류하여 포유류 서식지유형을 통계 분석하였다. 서식지 유형 군집분석에서는 30회 이상 기록된 14개의 서식지 유형을 대상으로 비계층적 클러스터 분석(k 평균 클러스터 분석), 계층적 클러스터 분석, 비계량형 다차원척도법을 시행하였다. 2006년에서 2012년까지 전국에서 수집된 제3차 전국자연환경조사를 통해 확인된 포유류는 총 7목 16과 39종이었다. 서식지 유형에 대한 분류는 11개로 클러스터를 분류했을 때 단순구조지수가 가장 높았다(ssi = 0.07). 계층적 클러스터 분석으로 서식지 유형들 간의 유사성과 위계를 확인해 본 결과, 포유류에게는 주거지가 가장 차별된 서식지 유형이었고, 그 다음은 하천과 해안이 병합된 클러스터였다. 비계량형 다차원척도 분석 결과, 포유류에게 가장 차별된 서식지유형인 주거지의 경우 생쥐와 집쥐 두 종이 제한적으로 나타났으며, 해안과 하천의 경우 수달이 제한적으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 종합해보면, 포유류의 서식지 유형은 크게 산림을 주요 서식지와 이동경로로 이용하는 산림형과, 물을 주요 서식지로 이용하는 하천형, 주거지 인근에서 서식하는 주거형, 곡류나 씨앗을 주 먹이원으로 하는 저지대형 등 4가지로 구분할 수 있다.
