Abstract

This study analyzed methodologies for estimating carbon stocks of perennial woody crops and the research cases in overseas countries. As a result, we found that Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, and Japan are using the stock-difference method, while Austria, Denmark, and Germany are estimating the change in the carbon stock based on the gain-loss method. In some overseas countries, the researches were conducted on estimating the carbon stock change using image data as tier 3 phase beyond the research developing country-specific factors as tier 2 phase. In South Korea, convergence studies as the third stage were conducted in forestry field, but advanced research in the agricultural field is at the beginning stage. Based on these results, we suggest directions for the following four future researches: 1) securing national-specific factors related to emissions and removals in the agricultural field through the development of allometric equation and carbon conversion factors for perennial woody crops to improve the completeness of emission and removals statistics, 2) implementing policy studies on the cultivation area calculation refinement with fruit tree-biomass-based maturity, 3) developing a more advanced estimation technique for perennial woody crops in the agricultural sector using allometric equation and remote sensing techniques based on the agricultural and forestry satellite scheduled to be launched in 2025, and to establish a matrix and monitoring system for perennial woody crop cultivation areas in the agricultural sector, Lastly, 4) estimating soil carbon stocks change, which is currently estimated by treating all agricultural areas as one, by sub-land classification to implement a dynamic carbon cycle model. This study suggests a detailed guideline and advanced methods of carbon stock change calculation for perennial woody crops, which supports 2050 Carbon Neutral Strategy of Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs and activate related research in agricultural sector.

본 연구는 다년생 목본작물 바이오매스에 대한 해외 주요국가들의 산정 방법과 연구사례를 분석하였다. 주요국별 다년생 목본작물의 탄소축적 변화량 산정 방법을 살펴본 결과, 호주, 캐나다, 일본, 불가리아 등은 축적차이법을 적용하고 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 독일, 오스트리아와 덴마크 등은 획득손실법을 기반으로 탄소축적 변화량을 산정하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 해외의 경우, 2단계 고도화연구를 통해 계수를 자체 개발하는 단계를 넘어 영상자료를 활용한 탄소축적 변화량 추정 연구를 진행하고 있는 반면, 국내의 경우 2단계 고도화연구를 시작하는 단계인 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 기반으로, 국내에서 향후 필요한 연구 네 가지를 제안하고자 한다: 1) 배출·흡수량 통계의 완전성 제고를 위한 과수별 바이오매스 상대생장식 및 탄소전환계수와 이를 활용하여 산출된 단위면적(ha)당 탄소축적량 같은 국가고유계수에 대한 자체 개발, 2) 과수별 바이오매스 기준 성목 및 벌채 주기에 대한 정의와 고도화된 연령별 재배면적 산정방법론에 대한 정책연구, 3) 2025년 발사 예정인 농림위성을 기반으로 상대생장식 및 원격탐사기법을 활용하여 농경지 부문 다년생 목본작물의 고도화된 산정기법을 개발하는 연구, 그리고 농경지 부문 다년생 목본작물 재배지 매트릭스 구축 및 모니터링 체계를 확립하는 연구, 마지막으로, 4) 동적탄소순환모형을 구현하기 위해, 현재 전체 농경지들을 하나로 취급하여 산정하고 있는 토양의 탄소축적 변화량을 하위 토지분류별로 구분하여 산정하는 연구들이 반드시 필요할 것이다. 본 연구는 비교대상 국가가 8개국으로 한정되어 전세계 국가의 다년생 목본작물에 대한 정의 및 탄소축적 변화량 연구에 대한 일반화에 한계점이 존재한다. 그러나, 주요국별 다년생 목본작물 탄소축적 변화량 산정방법 비교·분석을 통해, 국내 다년생 목본작물의 관련 연구를 위해 필요한 단계별 접근방식과 탄소축적 변화량 산정방법을 제안하였다. 이는 2050 농식품부 탄소중립 추진전략, 농업분야 탄소중립 실현을 위한 기반 구축 및 관련 연구 활성화에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
