UAV in the agricultural application are capable of collecting ultra-high resolution image. It is possible to obtain timeliness images for phenological phases of the crop. However, the UAV uses a variety of sensors and multi-temporal images according to the environment. Therefore, it is essential to use normalized image data for time series image application for crop monitoring. This study analyzed the variability of UAV reflectance and vegetation index according to Aviation Image Making Environment to utilize the UAV multispectral image for agricultural monitoring time series. The variability of the reflectance according to environmental factors such as altitude, direction, time, and cloud was very large, ranging from 8% to 11%, but the vegetation index variability was stable, ranging from 1% to 5%. This phenomenon is believed to have various causes such as the characteristics of the UAV multispectral sensor and the normalization of the post-processing program. In order to utilize the time series of unmanned aerial vehicles, it is recommended to use the same ratio function as the vegetation index, and it is recommended to minimize the variability of time series images by setting the same time, altitude and direction as possible.

Holocene vegetation and climate changes were assumed on the basis of pollen records from Wonpyeong Trench II-3 of the Osong archaeological site, Cheongju, Chungbuk Province, Korea. An organic matter beared in coarse sediments appeared to be low throughout the succession. Although an occurrence of pollen grains is not high, some dominant and principal taxa may indicate vegetation changes response to climate changes in central inland area of the Korean Peninsula. The age determination can be estimated with indirect way by comparing with previous age-controlled pollen studies. It is assumed that the former last glacial conifer forests had been changed into open mixed conifers and deciduous broadleaved forest during the early Holocene period. Warmer and more humid climate conditions, during the mid-Holocene, might have allowed the hardwoods including deciduous- and evergreen-broadleaved trees, and warm-preferring pine tree to flourish. Subsequently, the former forests were replaced by mixed of conifer and deciduous broadleaved forest owing to deterioration of climate conditions during the late Holocene. Human activity is also detected by agricultural indicators, such as buckwheat and large pollen grains comparable to corn, in upper most pollen profile. During this time, the forests in studied area were primarily affected by human disturbance rather than natural environment.

This study examines vegetation and climate changes from pollen compositions of alpine moors in the Korean Peninsula such as Mujechineup at Mt. Jeongjok, Yongneup at Mt. Daeam, Jilmoineup at Mt. Odae and Wangdeungjaeneup at Mt. Jiri including moors at Mt. Jeombong. It can be found that the alpine moors were less interfered by human than low moors during the past 2,000 years of the historical age. Based on dominant periods of Pinus and Quercus, pollen compositions of the alpine wetlands, climatic environments of vegetation and historical records, vegetation and climate changes during three periods such as approximately 2,000~1,000 yr BP, 1,000~400 yr BP and 400 yr BP~present are examined. It was warmer during the period of 1,000~400 yr BP than 2,000~1,000 yr BP. The period of approximately 400 yr BP indicate the coldest climate of Little Ice Age. This study finds dominances of Quercus, low NAP/AP ratios, obvious divisions of pollen zones and human interference after 400 yr BP from pollen compositions of the alpine moors during the historical age. Human interference in the high moors becomes obvious after approximately 400 yr BP, indicating that there is a time lack of approximately 1,500~2,000 years between the alpine and low moors.

유역 물순환 개선 기술은 기후변화 및 토지이용변화가 진행 중에 있거나 예상되는 지역에 대하여 강우-유출수를 지연, 저류, 침투시켜 지속가능한 물순환체계를 유지?회복하도록 하는 기술이라 할 수 있다. 기후변화 및 토지이용변화에 따른 영향을 평가하고, 지속가능한 유역 물순환체계를 구축하여 적응 전략을 체계적으로 수립하기 위해서는 물순환 개선 기술의 정립 및 개발이 필수적이다. 그러나 현재 유역 물순환 개선기술은 일부 시가화 지역에 국한되어 있어 유역 규모의 개선 전략을 수립하는데 한계가 있다. 또한, 물순환계의 변화량을 평가하기 위한 모형화 기법 역시 해외에서 개발된 기술을 여과 없이 도입하여 국내의 환경을 충분히 반영하기는 어렵다. 개발된 유역 물순환 개선 및 평가시스템은 기존 국가연구개발사업을 통해 개발되고 사업화에 성공한 바 있는 유역 물순환 평가 모형인 CAT(Catchment hydrologic cycle Assessment Tool)을 수정 및 개선하여 기후변화에 따른 영향을 평가하고 적응 대책을 수립하기 위한 실무적인 소프트웨어이다. 침투트렌치, 식생침투트렌치, 습지, 저류지, 빗물탱크 등의 물순환개선시설에 대한 효과를 평가할 수 있도록 개별시설의 제원에 따른 물순환개선 효과를 정량적으로 평가하여 제시한다. 기후변화에 따른 장기간의 유역 물순환을 평가하기 위해서는 물리적 매개변수 기반의 수문해석 보다는 단순환된 개념적 매개변수 기반의 집중형 장기유출 해석이 필요할 수 있다. 따라서 국내외에서 많이 사용되고 있는 장기 일유출 모형(GR4J, GSM, HBV, SYMHYD, TANK, TPHM 등)을 유역 물순환 개선 평가 플랫폼에 탑재함으로써 소유역의 특성을 반영한 기후변화 적응 일유출 해석이 가능하도록 하였으며, 각 모형들의 매개변수는 수동보정 외에도 SCE-UA를 이용한 자동보정이 가능하도록 시스템으로 구축하였다. 개발된 유역물순환 개선 및 평가시스템은 실무적 차원에서 기후변화에 따른 유역 물순환 개선 기술을 적용하고 평가하는데 있어서 매개변수 입력자료 구축에 따른 자원 소요 시간 및 시스템 개발 비용을 획기적으로 단축시켰으며 국외 의존도가 높은 수문 해석모형을 국내 기술로 개발함으로써 기술자립도를 높이고 국내 및 해외의 유역의 성공적인 적용을 통하여 성능을 입증하였다. 기후변화에 따른 수자원의 재평가, 개선시설의 정량적 평가 및 하천유역의 수자원관리 실무에 적용성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 기후변화로 인해 기온, 강수량 등 농업에 직접적인 영향을 주는 환경요인의 변화가 급격하게 진행되고 있으며, 식량농업기구 (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO)는 기후변화로 인해 전 세계적인 식량위기가 발생할 가능성이 크다고 경고하고 있다. 농업 시스템의 생산 능력을 확보하기 위해 수자원의 효율적인 공급 및 분배, 수확량 예측, 토지 특성 파악 등 농업 생산 제한요소에 대한 빠른 정보수집이 요구되고 있다. 재해관리 분야에서 원격탐사 기술은 재해 발생을 인지하고 발생지역의 재해 진행과 피해 정도를 신속하게 제공할 수 있다는 점에서 효용성이 높다. 또한 위성 영상을 이용할 경우 접근이 용이하지 못한 지역의 조사가 수월하며, 장기적인 변화관측이나 환경감시 등 광역적 접근이 가능하다. 최근 위성영상을 통한 다양한 신호의 데이터 취득 및 가공이 가능하게 됨에 따라 주기적이고 동일한 정확도로 지상자료의 획득이 가능하다는 측면에서 인공위성을 활용한 농업 분야에서의 가뭄 분석 연구의 필요성이 대두되었다. 위성영상 신호를 통해 농업 가뭄에 활용되고 있는 지표로는 정규식생지수 (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI) 및 식생상태지수 (Vegetation Condition Index, VCI), 식생가뭄반응지수(Vegetation Drought Response Index, VegDRI) 등이 있다. 잠재 증발산과 실제 증발산의 비를 이용한 위성영상기반의 가뭄지수인 Evaporative Stress Index (ESI)는 일반적으로 사용되는 가뭄지수인 표준강수지수(Standardized Precipitation Index, SPI), 파머가뭄심도지수 (Palmer Drought Severity Index, PDSI) 등과 비교하였을 때, 가뭄에 더 민감하고 빠른 반응을 보인다는 연구 결과로부터 짧은 기간의 급속하게 발생하는(rapid-onset) Flash drought의 가뭄판단지표로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 과거 우리나라에 발생했던 극심한 가뭄 사상을 대상으로 ESI의 가뭄분석을 통해 타 지표와의 차별성을 확인하고 농업 가뭄 모니터링의 새로운 지표로써 적용성을 검토하고자 한다.

A fast-changing agriculture environment induced by global warming and abnormal climate conditions demands scientific systems for monitoring and predicting crop conditions as well as crop yields at national level. Remote sensing opens up a new application field for precision agriculture with the help of commercial use of high resolution optical as well as radar satellite data. In this study, we investigated the multi-temporal spectral characteristics relative to different agricultural land use types in Korea using RapidEye satellite imagery. There were explicit differences between vegetation and non-vegetation land use types. Also, within the vegetation group spectral vegetation indices represented differences in temporal changing trends as to plant species and paddy types.

The prediction of changes regarding the distribution of vegetation and plant species according to climate changes is important for ecosystem management. In this study, we attempted to develop an assessment method to evaluate the possibility of the potential distribution of warm-temperate woody plant species of East Asia in Korea. To begin with, a list of warm-temperate woody plants distributed in China and Japan, but not in Korea, was prepared, and a database consisting their global distribution and bioclimatic variables was constructed. In addition, the warm-temperate vegetation zone in Korea was delineated using the coldness index and relevant bioclimatic data were collected. After the exclusion of multicollinearity among bioclimatic variables using correlation analysis, mean temperature of the coldest quarter, mean temperature diurnal range, and annual precipitation were selected as the major variables that influence the distribution of warm-temperate plants. A multivariate environment similarity surfaces (MESS) analysis was conducted to calculate the similarity scores between the distribution of these three bioclimatic variables in the global distribution sites of the East Asian warm-temperate woody plants and the Korean warm-temperate vegetation zone. Finally, using stepwise variable-selection regression, the mean temperature of the coldest quarter and annual precipitation were selected as the main bioclimatic variables that affect the MESS similarity index. The mean temperature of the coldest quarter accounted for 88% of the total variance. For a total of 319 East Asian warm-temperate woody plant species, the possibility of their potential distribution in Korea was evaluated by applying the constructed multivariate regression model that calculates the MESS similarity index.

The vegetation area that occupies 76% in land surface of the earth can give a considerable impact on water resources, environment and ecological system by future climate change. The purpose of this study is to predict future vegetation cover information from NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) extracted from satellite images. Current vegetation information was prepared from monthly NDVI (March to November) extracted from NOAA AVHRR (1994 - 2004) and Terra MODIS (2000 - 2004) satellite images. The NDVI values of MODIS for 5 years were 20% higher than those of NOAA. The interrelation between NDVIs and monthly averaged climate factors (daily mean, maximum and minimum temperature, rainfall, sunshine hour, wind velocity, and relative humidity) for 5 river basins of South Korea showed that the monthly NDVIs had high relationship with monthly averaged temperature. By linear regression, the future NDVIs were estimated using the future mean temperature of CCCma CGCM2 A2 and B2 climate change scenario. The future vegetation information by NOAA NDVI showed little difference in peak value of NDVI, but the peak time was shifted from July to August and maintained high NDVIs to October while the present NDVI decrease from September. The future MODIS NDVIs showed about 5% increase comparing with the present NDVIs from July to August.
