  • 현재 우리 사회에서 나타나고 있는 산맥에 관한 논란은 부분적으로는 산맥 표현에 대한 연구자 혹은 교과서 사이의 불일치, 그리고 산맥의 설정 목적과 성인에 대한 지리학계의 불명확한 설명에서 그 원인을 찾을 수 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해서는 성인별로 분류된 산맥을 설정 목적, 지도 축척, 그리고 교육 목적에 따라 계층적으로 제시하는 작업이 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 한반도의 복잡한 산지분포를 설명하는 개념을 산맥(mountain ranges)과 산줄기(mountain ridges)로 구분하여 사용할 것을 주장하였다. 새롭게 제안하는 산맥도에서는 산지의 분포를 결정하는 지반운동과 삭박작용의 공간적인 특성을 적절하게 반영하고자 하였다. 그 결과 7개의 1차 산맥과 8개의 2차 산맥 등 모두 15개의 산맥을 제안하였다. 새 산맥도에서는 기존의 산맥 중에서 적유령산맥, 모향산맥, 멸악산맥, 마식령산맥 등이 제외되었다. 제외된 산맥들은 모두 지표삭박작용이 강하게 작용하여 형성된 산지들로 공간적인 분포가 불분명하거나 설정근거가 불명확한 것들이다. 이에 반해 새롭게 추가된 1차 산맥으로는 길주-명천산맥, 양산산맥, 지리산맥이 있으며, 2차 산맥으로는 월출산맥과 북수백산맥이 있다. 기존의 산맥들의 공간적인 범위와 연속성 역시 새롭게 제안된 산맥도에서 많이 변하였다. 특히, 낭림산맥, 함경산맥, 태백산맥, 소백산맥의 경우에는 그 공간적인 범위에서 대폭적인 수정이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 그리고 기존의 산맥과 공간적인 범위는 유사하지만 새로운 명칭이 부여된 산맥으로는 백두산맥(마천령산맥), 화악산맥(광주산맥), 치악산맥(차령산맥), 내장산맥(노령산맥)등이 있다.

  • 현재 한국 사회에서는 산맥의 개념 규정에 대한 혼동과 함께 교과서에 수록되어 있는 산맥의 존재 여부에 대해 많은 논란이 일고 있다. 이 연구에서는 지리학적 산맥과 유역분수계 개념의 차이점 그리고 산맥 개념의 사회적 논란에 대한 원인 분석을 바탕으로, 산맥의 정의 및 기존 산맥도와 관련된 한반도 지체구조와 산맥의 형성과정에 대해 살펴보았다. 한반도의 DEM에서 추출한 지표곡면도와 음영기복도, 그리고 지체구조선과 지질분포도를 이용하여 현재 및 과거에 표기되어 왔던 산맥들의 공간적인 분포를 비교$\cdot$검증하였다. 이 연구의 결과 현재 일반에게 알려져 있는 산맥들의 실체를 대부분 확인할 수 있었으며, 이들 산맥은 한반도의 지형적인 특성을 결정해 온 지체구조의 발달사와 지형발달과정을 이해하는 데 유용한 틀을 제시해 주고 있다는 사실이 입증되었다. 하지만 한반도의 산맥들은 형태와 성인적 특성에서 매우 다양하다. 현재 표기되고 있는 산맥들을 성인에 따라 5가지 유형으로 분류할 수 있었다. 형성 시기와 성인을 중심으로 살펴보면 1) 제3기 동해의 형성과정에서 나타난 한반도 전체의 융기 현상에 의해 형성된 융기산맥(함경산맥, 낭림산맥, 태백산맥), 2) 제3기 융기운동에 의해 2차적으로 나타난 단층운동과 융기 현상으로 형성된 산맥(마천령산맥, 소백산맥, 북서백산맥), 3) 중생대 광범위한 화강암의 관입에 의해 그 근간이 만들어진 습곡산맥(적유령산맥, 광주산맥, 차령산맥, 노령산맥), 4) 제3기 이후 하천의 침식으로 형성된 산지 중에서 유역의 분수계를 이루는 분수계형 침식산맥(마식령산맥, 묘향산맥), 5) 제3기 이후 하천의 침식에 의해 남겨진 분수계들을 하천과 수직으로 연결한 침식면형 침식산맥(강남산맥, 언진산맥, 멸악산맥) 등으로 구분할 수 있었다. 현재 한국 사회에서 나타나고 있는 산맥의 유무에 관한 논란은 부분적으로는 산맥의 설정 목적과 성인에 대한 지리학계의 명확한 설명이 제시되지 않았기 때문일 것이다. 이를 극복하기 위해서는 성인별로 분류된 산맥을 표현 목적과 사용되는 지도의 축척, 그리고 교육의 목적에 따라 계층적으로 제시하는 작업이 필요하다. 특히 일반인들의 산맥에 대한 이때를 높이기 위한 산맥의 성인과 형태에 관한 효과적이고 광범위한 교육과 홍보가 요구된다.

  • The purpose of this study is to identify the fragmented points of mountain ranges in Daegu metropolitan city using New Sangyeongpyo (Chart of Mountain Ranges), road system map and GIS spatial analysis, and to prioritize the identified fragmented points for restoration based on quantitative assessment. Moreover, this study proposes restoration plans reflecting the assessment results and characteristics of each fragmented point. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First of all, analysis of the distribution of mountain ranges in Daegu metropolitan city showed that jimaek and semaek in Daegu account for 2% of all mountain ranges in the country, implying that the mountain ranges of Daegu do not hold significant ranking on a national level. However, it was found that numerous fragmented points are appearing due to roads. According to the analysis, 35 fragmented points were identified, of which 15 were found to be restorable. In terms of restoration potential and involved risks, assessment results of the 15 fragmented points indicated that 6 points are at Grade I, 3 points are at Grade II and 6 points are at Grade III. Therefore, a methodology of restoring fragmented mountain ranges was proposed through three suggestions of restoration plans that consider the characteristics of each fragmented points. The results of this study are expected to be highly useful as basic data for effective restoration of mountain ranges in connection with mountain range restorations and relevant projects implemented on a national level in the future.

  • We obtained a total of 36 GPS coordinates of the seven bat species of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum, Myotis ikonnikovi, M. nattereri, M. petax, Murina ussuriensis, Plecotus auritus, and Pipistrellus abramus. Characteristics of forests (forest type, age class, DBH class and crown density), terrain (aspect, slope and distance from mountain stream) and disturbance factors (distance from human residential areas and distance from cultivated areas) that bats have used as their habitats were revealed from the GIS analysis based on GPS coordinates of the 36 positions that bats were found. The bats-preferred forest type is broad-leaf forests (43%) with the trees of the 2th (31%) and 5th (31%) age class, the trees of sapling (36%) and large DBH class (31%), and sparse crown density (67%). Bats prefer the slop direction of the east (39%), the gradient below $15^{\circ}$ (61%), the ranges within 200 m from the mountain streams (92%), the ranges within 200 m near roads (89%), the ranges of 200-400 m from human residential areas (28%), and the ranges within 200 m from cultivated areas (36%).

  • The climate is changing rapidly, and this may pose a major threat to global biodiversity. One of the most distinctive consequences of climate change is the poleward and/or upward shift of species distribution ranges associated with increasing temperatures, resulting in a change of species composition and community structure in the forest ecosystems. The Baekdudaegan mountain range connects most forests from the lowland to the subalpine zone in South Korea and is therefore recognized as one of the most important biodiversity hotspots. This study was conducted to understand the distribution range of vascular plants along elevational gradients through field surveys in the six national parks of the Baekdudaegan mountain range. We identified the upper and lower distribution limits of a total of 873 taxa of vascular plants with 117 families, 418 genera, 793 species, 14 subspecies, 62 varieties, two forms, and two hybrids. A total of 12 conifers were recorded along the elevational gradient. The distribution ranges of Abies koreana, Picea jezoensis, Pinus pumila, and Thuja koraiensis were limited to over 1000 m above sea level. We also identified 21 broad-leaved trees in the subalpine zone. A total of 45 Korean endemic plant species were observed, and of these, 15 taxa (including Aconitum chiisanense and Hanabusaya asiatica) showed a narrow distribution range in the subalpine zone. Our study provides valuable information on the current elevational distribution ranges of vascular plants in the six national parks of South Korea, which could serve as a baseline for vertical shifts under future climate change.

  • The Tian Shan mountain system is one of the large mountain ranges located in Central Asia. This region is globally recognized as mountain ranges, offering inestimable wealth in fauna and flora with significant biodiversity values. We surveyed macrofungal diversity of Tian Shan in Kyrgyzstan from 2016 to 2018. A collection of macrofungi was made, and these were subjected to sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis to ensure the identity of the collected macrofungi. Of those collected, 95 out of 100 specimens were successfully sequenced and compared with those of other related species retrieved from GenBank. The sequenced specimens were classified into 2 phyla, 8 orders, 24 families, 47 genera, and 57 species, based on current taxonomic concepts (combining morphology and phylogeny). To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first well-documented checklist and phylogenetic analysis of macrofungi recovered from the Tian Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan.

  • Numerical experiments using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model were done to identify the role of the mountain ranges in the northern part of the Peninsula (referred as "the northern mountain complex"), in the occurrence of two heavy snowfall events over the Yeongdong region on 7-8 December 2002 and 20-21 January 2008. To this end, control simulations with the topography of the northern mountain complex and other simulations without the topography of the mountain complex were performed. It was revealed that the amount of snowfall over the Yeongdong region from the control simulation much more exceeded that of the simulation without the topography of the mountain complex. This increase of the snowfall amount over the Yeongdong region can be explained as follows: As the upstream flow approached the northern mountain complex, it deflected around the northern mountain complex due to the blocking effect of the mountains with a low Froude number less than ~0.16. This lead to the strengthening of northeasterly over the East Sea and over the Yeongdong region. The strong northeasterly is accompanied with much more snowfall over the Yeongdong region by intensifying air-mass modification over the sea and the orographic effect of the Taeback mountains. Thus, it was concluded that the topography of the northern mountain complex is one of the main factors in determining the distribution and amount of precipitation in the Yeongdong region when there is an expansion of the Siberian High toward the East Sea.
