초록

유역의 토지이용과 하천에 인접한 수변림은 하천의 수질을 결정하는 중요한 요인이다. 특히 유역의 개발지역은 불투수면을 증가시키고, 강우유출 특성과 비점오염물질 거동을 변화시켜 하천의 수질을 악화시킨다. 한편, 수변림은 다양한 수문학적, 생화학적 및 생태학적 작용을 통해 유역의 토지이용이 수질에 미치는 영향을 완화시키는 것으로 보고되어 왔다. 하천의 수질은 다양한 요인들에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에 요인들 간 인과관계를 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 인과관계를 분석할 수 있는 구조방정식모형을 통해 하천환경 특성, 유역의 개발지역 면적, 수변림의 공간적 구조가 총질소 농도에 미치는 구조적 관계 분석에 목적을 두고 수행되었다. 연구 대상지는 낙동강 대권역으로 선정하였으며, 수질 자료는 2012년 환경부의 「전국 하천 수생태계 현황 조사 및 건강성 평가」 결과를 이용하였다. 환경부의 토지피복도에서 수변림과 개발지역 데이터를 추출하여 SPSS Amos 프로그램을 통해 구조방정식모형을 추정하였다. 모형 추정 결과, 개발지역은 고도에 의해 결정되며 수변림의 공간적 구조는 개발지역 면적에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 개발지역 면적은 총질소 농도에 직접적인 영향과 수변림의 공간적 구조를 통해 간접적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 개발지역은 수변림의 LDI와 총질소 농도를 증가시키고 LPI와 PLAND를 감소시키며 LDI와 PLAND는 총질소 농도를 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 유역의 개발지역이 하천의 총질소 농도에 직간접적으로 영향을 미치나, 수변림이 공간적으로 안정적인 구조를 갖고 식생이 풍부할 경우, 개발지역이 하천 수질에 미치는 부정적인 영향을 상당히 완화시킬 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 중장기적인 유역 관리 계획 수립 시, 하천의 수질 회복을 위해서는 유역의 개발지역 비율을 최소화하는 것이 중요하며, 유역 개발에 의한 하천 수질의 영향을 완화하기 위해서는 수변림의 양과 구조의 복원 및 관리가 필요하다.

Land use in watersheds has been shown to be a major driving factor in determining the status of the water quality of streams. In this light, scientists have been investigating the roles of riparian vegetation on the relationships between land use in watersheds and the associated stream water quality. Numerous studies reported that riparian vegetation could alleviate the adverse effects caused by land use in watersheds and on stream water quality through various hydrological, biochemical and ecological mechanisms. However, this concept has been criticized as the true effects of riparian vegetation must be assessed by comprehensive models that mimic real environmental settings. This study aimed to estimate a comprehensive structural equation model integrating topography, land use, and characteristics of riparian vegetation. We used water quality data from the Nakdong River system monitored under the National Aquatic Ecosystem Monitoring Program (NAEMP) of the Korean Ministry of Environment (MOE). Also, riparian vegetation data and land use data were extracted from the Land Use/Land Cover map (LULC) produced by the MOE. The number of structural equation models (SEMs) were estimated in Amos of IBM SPSS. Study results revealed that land use was determined by elevation, and developed areas within a watershed significantly increased the concentration of Total Nitrogen (TN) in streams and LDI in riparian vegetation. On the contrary, developed areas significantly reduced LPI and PLAND. At the same time, PLAND and LDI significantly reduced the concentration of TN in streams. Thus, it was clear that developed areas in watersheds had both a direct and an indirect impact on the concentration of TN in streams, and spatial pattern and the amount of vegetation of riparian vegetation could significantly alleviate the negative impacts of developed areas on TN concentration in streams. To enhance stream water quality, reducing developed areas in a watershed is critical for long-term watershed management plans, restoration patterns for riparian vegetation could be immediately implemented since riparian areas were less developed than most other watersheds.
