Abstract

As climate changes, it is necessary to predict changes in the habitat environment in order to establish more aggressive adaptation strategies. The bioclimatic classification which clusters of areas with similar habitats can provide a useful ecosystem management framework. Therefore, in this study, biological habitat environment of Northeast Asia was identified through the establishment of the bioclimatic zones, and the impac of climate change on the biological habitat was analyzed. An ISODATA clustering was used to classify Northeast Asia (NEA)into 15 bioclimatic zones, and climate change impacts were predicted by projecting the future spatial distribution of bioclimatic zones based upon an ensemble of 17 GCMs across RCP4.5 and 8.5 scenarios for 2050s, and 2070s. Results demonstrated that significant changes in bioclimatic conditions can be expected throughout the NEA by 2050s and 2070s. The overall zones moved upward, and some zones were predicted to be greatly expanded or shrunk where we suggested as regions requiring intensive management. This analysis provides the basis for understanding potential impacts of climate change on biodiversity and ecosystem. Also, this could be used more effectively to support decision making on climate change adaptation.

기후변화에 대응하여 보다 적극적인 생물보전전략 수립을 위해 생물 서식환경의 변화예측이 필요하며, 생물기후권역은 유용한 생태계 관리체계를 제공할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 생물기후권역구축을 통해 동북아시아의 생물 서식환경을 파악하고, 생물 서식관점에서 기후변화의 영향을 분석하였다. Worldclim에서 제공하는 현재(1970~2000년) 기후자료 및 17개 전 지구 기후모형의 예측자료(RCP4.5, RCP8.5)를 이용하여 2050년대와 2070년대의 변화를 모의하였다. 먼저 현재와 미래의 주요생물기후변수(Aridity index, growing degree days, potential evapotranspiration seasonality, temperature seasonality)를 구축하여 동북아시아의 생물기후환경 특성을 파악하고, 기후변화에 따른 시공간적 변화를 분석하였다. ISODATA 군집분석으로 현재의 생물기후권역을 구분하고, MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classification)를 통해 미래의 권역변화를 예측하였다. 기후변화에 따라 대부분의 권역이 북상하는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 권역의 면적과 위도 분포변화를 분석함으로써 권역의 축소가 가장 두드러지게 나타나는 중국 남부에 위치한 권역을 집중 관리권역으로 제시하였다. 본 연구는 한반도를 포함한 동북아시아 지역의 다양한 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 영향평가를 바탕으로 향후 기후변화에 대응한 생물종 혹은 생태계 관련 적응정책 수립 시 활용 가능한 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
