Abstract

With the increasing socio-economic importance of rice as a global staple food, several models have been developed for rice yield estimation by combining remote sensing data with carbon cycle modelling. In this study, we aimed to estimate rice yield in Korea using such an integrative model using satellite remote sensing data in combination with a biophysical crop growth model. Specifically, daily meteorological inputs derived from MODIS (Moderate Resolution imaging Spectroradiometer) and radar satellite products were used to run a light use efficiency based crop growth model, which is based on the MODIS gross primary production (GPP) algorithm. The modelled biomass was converted to rice yield using a harvest index model. We estimated rice yield from 2003 to 2014 at the county level and evaluated the modelled yield using the official rice yield and rice straw biomass statistics of Statistics Korea (KOSTAT). The estimated rice biomass, yield, and harvest index and their spatial distributions were investigated. Annual mean rice yield at the national level showed a good agreement with the yield statistics with the yield statistics, a mean error (ME) of +0.56% and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 5.73%. The estimated county level yield resulted in small ME (+0.10~+2.00%) and MAE (2.10~11.62%),respectively. Compared to the county-level yield statistics, the rice yield was over estimated in the counties in Gangwon province and under estimated in the urban and coastal counties in the south of Chungcheong province. Compared to the rice straw statistics, the estimated rice biomass showed similar error patterns with the yield estimates. The subpixel heterogeneity of the 1 km MODIS FPAR(Fraction of absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation) may have attributed to these errors. In addition, the growth and harvest index models can be further developed to take account of annually varying growth conditions and growth timings.

벼 등 식량작물 작황 추정의 경제, 산업적 중요성이 증가함에 따라 생물리 모형과 원격탐사 기반의 위성자료를 활용한 작황 추정 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 위성 기반의 전천후 기상 입력자료(i.e. 기온, 대기 수증기압 포차, 일사량)와 빛 이용효율 모형을 이용한 생물리적 작물 성장 알고리즘을 벼에 적용하여 벼의 수확량을 수확 시기 보다 이르게(9월 중순 경) 추정하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 2003년부터 2014년까지 12년간 경상권을 제외한 국내의 군 단위 행정구역별 벼 수확량을 추정하고, 이를 통계청에서 제공하는 현미 생산량 통계와 비교, 평가하였다. 벼 건중량, 수확지수 그리고 수확량 추정 결과는 각각 지도로 작성하여 공간적 분포 양상을 분석하였다. 연도별 전국 평균 추정 건중량은 평균오차(ME)가 0.56%, 평균절대오차(MAE)가 5.73%로 유의미한 결과를 보였다. 연도별 군 단위 건중량은 ME가 0.10%에서 2.00%, MAE가 2.10에서 11.62%의 범위를 보였다. 추정된 건중량은 강원지역에서 상대적으로 과대 모의하고, 충청 이남의 도심과 서해 인근지역에서 과소 모의하는 경향을 보였다. 건중량과 유관한 통계청 자료(i.e. 볏짚 생산량)와는 상반된 변동 양상을 보였는데, 이는 입력자료의 해상도(1 km)로 인한 픽셀 내 토지피복 이질성으로 인한 오차로 사료된다. 또한 생육기간 이후 수확시기의 생육상황을 고려하지 못하는 점을 향후 연구에서 개선할 필요가 있다.
