습지는 생태자원의 보고로 다양한 생물종의 서식지를 제공하며, 습지 생태계는 어느 생태계보다 생산성이 높다. 습지는 잦은 수위변동으로 인해 습지의 식물은 수위의 영향을 많이 받는다. 따라서, 식물종의 특징과 최적의 생육환경과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 수위에 따른 식물의 서식환경을 분석해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 자연생태계가 잘 발달되어 있는 남한강의 비내섬 습지에 대해 유황분석을 하였고 유황에 따른 유량을 모의하였다. 모의된 유량과 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용하여 유황별 홍수위를 산정하였으며, RAS Mapper를 이용하여 침수심과 침수구역을 모의하였다. 이를 통해 침수심에 영향을 많이 받는 식물의 서식환경을 분석하였다. 버드나무군락은 침수가 발생하지 않는 지역 및 0~0.8m의 침수심, 물억새군락은 침수가 발생하지 않는 지역 및 0~0.4m의 침수심, 쑥-망초군락과 달뿌리풀군락은 0~0.4m의 침수심, 그리고 환삼덩굴군락은 0~0.8m의 침수심이 발생하는 지역에서 서식하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 유황에 따른 침수심에 대한 식생서식환경을 분석한 것으로 식생을 고려한 인공습지 조성이나 하천설계에 있어 기초적인 자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

The habitat preference of roe deers(Capreolus pygargus) in Jeju island, South Korea was analyzed by using their occurrence probability in MaxEnt model in this study. Totally 490 surveying data were gathered and 15 environmental variables were chosen for the model in which 6 variables out of 15 ones were filtered and finally removed because of there being higher correlation(over 0.7 in correlation coefficient). According to the modeling, roe deers were known to prefer the area ranging from 200 to 700 meter and over 1,500 meter in sea level, where there were not many dominant tree and/or dominant vegetation with low density so that understory vegetation can grow well with plentiful sunlight and can be used as a food of herbivore like roe deers. Otherwise, the region ranging from 700 to 1,500 meter was mostly covered with high density vegetation which cut off sunlight trying to penetrate through the dominant vegetation. It can cause a lower density of vegetation on surface, which can not attract to roe deers.

The term ecosystem services refers to natural ecosystems' benefits to humans. Various models have been developed and applied to quantify ecosystem services. Habitat quality assessment is a widely used leading InVEST ecosystem service model. In Korea, habitat quality assessment is conducted for national parks. For habitat quality assessment, the initial value of habitat quality must be used to assess the sensitivity to threats, which varies depending on the country and application field. Therefore, an expert survey (AHP) was conducted based on previous habitat quality assessments in national parks to adjust the sensitivity, the initial value for the habit quality assessment. As a result of the AHP, 18 items were adjusted, including 10 items, such as natural grassland and unarranged fields, upward and 8 items, such as rivers and ponds, downward. Based on the adjusted sensitivity results, the habitat quality of Bukhansan National Park and Gyeryongsan National Park (urban type), Gyeongju National Park (historic type), Hallyeohaesang National Park (ocean type), and Jirisan National Park and Seoraksan National Park (mountain type) were adjusted. The results of the analysis showed that the habitat quality of urban dry areas and water bodies distributed in the national parks was reflected in the habitat quality assessment. In the future, it will be possible to evaluate the habitat quality of natural parks using this standard.

Countries around the world, including the Republic of Korea, are participating in efforts to preserve biodiversity. Concerning species, in particular, studies that aim to find potential habitats and establish conservation plans by conducting habitat suitability analysis for specific species are actively ongoing. However, few studies on mid- to long-term changes in suitable habitat areas are based on accumulated information. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the time-series changes in the habitat suitable area and examine the otters' changing pattern (Lutra lutra) designated as Level 1 endangered wildlife in Gangwon-do. The time-series change analysis used the data on otter species' presence points from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th national natural environment surveys conducted for about 20 years. Moreover, it utilized the land cover map consistent with the survey period to create environmental variables to reflect each survey period's habitat environment. The suitable habitat area analysis used the MaxEnt model that can run based only on the species presence information, and it has been proven to be reliable by previous studies. The study derived the habitat suitability map for otters in each survey period, and it showed a tendency that habitats were distributed around rivers. Comparing the response curves of the environmental variables derived from the modeling identified the characteristics of the habitat favored by otters. The examination of habitats' change by survey period showed that the habitats based on the 2nd National Natural Environment Survey had the widest distribution. The habitats of the 3rd and 4th surveys showed a tendency of decrease in area. Moreover, the study aggregated the analysis results of the three survey periods and analyzed and categorized the habitat's changing pattern. The type of change proposed different conservation plans, such as field surveys, monitoring, protected area establishment, and restoration plan. This study is significant because it produced a comprehensive analysis map that showed the time-series changes of the location and area of the otter habitat and proposed a conservation plan that is necessary according to the type of habitat change by region. We believe that the method proposed in this study and its results can be used as reference data for establishing a habitat conservation and management plan in the future.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain and analyze environmental factors of subgenus Lycoctonum in Korea for conservation and management of rare high land plant species by GIS. We derived the habitat model of Lycoctonum from GPS coordination, habitat factors and digital topology maps. Suitable altitude fur the subgenus Lycoctonum is from 470m to 1320m, and northern slopes(between 15.5 and 36 degrees) are ideal for the Lycoctonum populations. In addition to altitude, slope and aspect, deciduous forest and approximation to water source were found as important factor. Using GIS and the Lycoctonum habitat model, we overlaid elevation, aspect, slope and land cover layers and analyzed buffer from the water source on two topology maps, Yang-Soo and Mock-Dong. After making prediction map for Lycoctonum habitat, we verified the existence of Lycoctonum populations on the predicted sites through field survey. Through this research, we're convinced that GIS software is powerful tool for plants conservation, such as finding unknown habitat or selecting alternative habitat.

This study was conducted to predict the changes of potential distribution for invasive alien plant, Amaranthus viridis in Korea. The habitats of A. viridis were roadside, bare ground, farm area, and pasture, where the interference by human was severe. We used maximum entropy modeling (MaxEnt) for analyzing the environmental influences on A. viridis distribution and projecting on two different representative concentration pathways (RCP) scenarios, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5. The results of our study indicated annual mean temperature, elevation and precipitation of coldest month had higher contribution for A. viridis potential distribution. Projected potential distribution of A. viridis will be increased by 110% on RCP 4.5, 470% on RCP 8.5.

Korean goral (Nemorhaedus caudatus raddeanus) is an endangered species in Korea, and the rugged terrain of the Sorksan National Park $(373km^2)$ is a critical habitat for the species. Since the goral population is threatened by habitat fragmentation, it is essential to establish a reserve for the isolated goral population. The objective of this study was to propose a reserve for Korean goral in the national Park We employed habitat suitability model, habitat capability model, and the concept of minimum viable population. The results of the study were as follows. First, the carrying capacity and optimal density of gorals in the national park were projected to be 449 gorals, and 251 gorals, respectively Second, since only one patch was projected to satisfy the criteria of minimum viable population (50 individuals/during 50 years), the long term extinction possibility of gorals in the site would be very high. Finally, the patch that satisfy the minimum viable population of goral was proposed as the core zone of the goral reserve and adjacent patches were included as buffer zones.

Zostera marina (ZM), a type of seagrass registered as a marine protected species in South Korea, provides valuable ecosystem services to humans, such as improving marine water quality, providing food, spawning grounds and habitats for marine life, and absorbing carbon dioxide. Therefore, the government is seeking to preserve ZM by designating ZM-protected areas. This study examined the public willingness to pay (WTP) for the preservation of ZM using contingent valuation. The one-and-one-half-bounded model was adopted for WTP elicitation, and the single-bounded model was also applied for comparison. The spike model was employed to deal with many zero WTP responses. The household average WTP was estimated as KRW 4,087 per year, securing statistical significance. The national value was KRW 84.1 billion per year. The preservation value of ZM estimated in this study can be used as important data for economic analysis of various projects or policy implementation for its preservation.

습지는 다양한 생물종의 서식지를 제공하고 있다. 습지는 물과 영양분이 충분하기 때문에 식물이 서식하기 좋을 것 같지만 실제적으로 습지에서는 잦은 수위변동이 발생하므로 습지에서 식물은 생리적으로 가혹한 환경에 처해 있다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 습지 식물은 서식하는데 있어 수위의 영향을 많이 받는다고 할 수 있으며 습지 조성 및 관리에 있어 습지 식물의 서식환경을 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 습지 식물종의 특징과 최적의 생육환경과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 식생서식환경을 침수심과 연계하여 분석하였다. 이를 위해 식물 군락이 잘 발달되어 있는 남한강의 비내섬 습지에 대해 유황분석을 수행하였고, 유황에 따른 유량을 모의하였다. 모의된 유량과 HEC-RAS 모형을 이용하여 유황별 홍수위를 산정하였다. 또한 RAS Mapper를 이용하여 침수심과 침수구역을 모의하고, 이를 통해 여러 생물군 중 침수심에 영향을 많이 받는 식물의 서식환경을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 버드나무군락은 침수가 발생하지 않는 지역 및 0~0.8m의 침수심, 물억새군락은 침수가 발생하지 않는 지역 및 0~0.4m의 침수심, 쑥-망초군락과 달뿌리풀군락은 0~0.4m의 침수심, 그리고 환삼덩굴군락은 0~0.8m의 침수심이 발생하는 지역에서 서식하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구는 유황에 따른 침수심에 대한 식생서식환경을 분석한 것으로 식생을 고려한 인공습지 조성이나 하천설계에 있어 기초적인 자료가 될 것으로 기대되며 보다 더 정확한 연구를 위해서는 장기모니터링을 통한 식생 자료의 축적 및 더 효과적인 수위-식생 연계분석 방법론에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

습지는 해안선 정화, 홍수조절, 수질정화 이외에도 문화적 여가활동 및 관광 등 다양한 기능을 하고 있다. 이처럼 습지의 기능 및 다양성을 보전을 위해서는 습지에 유량이 유지되어야 하지만, 기후변화로 인한 온도 상승과 불규칙한 강우 패턴으로 인해 습지의 유량이 유지되지 못하고 육화되고 있다. 습지의 육화 및 건조화의 지연 및 방지를 위해서는 습지의 유량변동을 파악이 중요하며 국내외적으로는 물수지 방법이 많이 이용되고 있다. 하지만 산지습지의 경우 규모가 작고 고립되어 있어 물수지방법을 통한 유량변동 분석 연구가 하천습지나 연안습지에 비해 상대적으로 적은 추세이다. 산지습지는 퇴적물 축척으로 형성된 환경변화의 모습을 담고 있으며 또한 산지습지와 같은 특수 환경에 서식하는 생물의 서식지 역할 등 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 경상남도에 위치한 산지습지인 장군습지를 대상으로 삼았으며 물수지 방법을 기반으로 하는 SWAT모형을 이용하여 유출특성 분석을 하였다. 또한 기상자료로는 주변 기상관측소와 장군습지 내 설치한 강수계, 온 습도계, 수위계를 활용하여 장군습지 내 유입량과 유출량을 분석하였으며 본 결과를 통해 향후 장군습지 보전을 위한 유지관리 방안을 제안하고자 한다.
