Korean fir(Abies koreana E.H.Wilson 1920), endemic tree species of Korean peninsula, is considered as vulnerable and endangered species to recent rapid environmental changes such as land use and climate change. There are limited activities and efforts to find natural habitats of Korean fir for conservation of the species and habitats. In this study, by applying SDMs (Species Distribution Models) based on climate and topographic factors of Korean fir, we developed Korean fir's predicted distribution model and explored novel natural habitats. In Mt. Shinbulsan, Youngnam region and Mt. Songnisan, we could find korean fir's two novel habitat and the former was the warmest($13^{\circ}C$ in annual mean temperature), the driest(1,200mm~1,600mm in annual rainfall) and relatively low altitude environment among Korean fir's habitats in Korea. The result of SDMs did not include mountain areas of Gangwon-do as habitats of A. nephrolepis, because there were different contributions of key habitat environment factors, summer rainfall, winter mean temperature and winter rainfall, between A. koreana and A. nephrolepis. Our results raise modification of other distribution models on Korean fir. Novel habitat of Korean fir in Mt. Shinbulsan revealed similar habitat affinity of the species, ridgy and rocky site, with other habitats in Korea. Our results also suggest potential areas for creation of Korea fir's alternative habitats through species reintroduction in landscape and ecosystem level.

The objective of this study is to increase bio-diversity by developing more efficient methods to created habitats and applying them in introducing prototypes of forest, grassland, and marsh which are found in natural ecosystem, to urban environment. In this context, in creating man-made marsh in Seoul Engineering High School, firstly, philosophical framework to create man-made marsh to restore urban nature and conceptual system to create a region considering life and ecosystem were established. Secondly, by applying the philosophical framework and the conceptual system, water quality section, plantation section, and techniques to create habitats to increase bio-diversity were introduced. Lastly, when the creation is completed, maintenance of the marsh will continue with participation and education of students and residents. This study presents how natural environment can be restored and created in urban areas. This may be viewed as modest beginning. I expect this study proves to be effective in increasing bio-diversity, fulfill its role as an experiment station for restoration and creation of natural environment and natural educational center for students and community as well as habitats for wild life, and open a new chapter in developing a society seeking co-existence of humankind and life. Therefore, when technological guideline on restoration and creation of man-made marsh in urban area is developed based on the outcome of this study, expansion of the project to nationwide including metropolitan cities like Seoul is recommended.

While the recent lift of restrictions in greenbelt areas is expected to generate a number of development plans, there are efforts to create various development plans into spatial plans that consider the natural and ecological conditions of development sites. However, these development plans consider Degree of Green Naturality or Degree of Ecology only when designating areas for conservation within development sites. It is true that they don't fully reflect the value of green areas and wetlands as habitats and natural resources. Therefore, this study built an conservation value assessment model that is applicable to sites where development is planned in Korea by reviewing prior case examples md studies and applied the developed model to a case study area. The site where the conservation value assessment model was applied to is an area around Yongsan-ri and Suha-ri, Doam-myon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon province where quality natural resources are located in and wend the site. This is a site for the development of Alpensia Resort where a resort including facilities for the Winter Olympics is planned to be introduced. In order to assess the conservation value of the site for Alpensia Resort, a total of eight items including area, distribution of communities, habitation of species with conservation value, functions of habitats, connectivity of habitats, vegetation layers of forests, age of forests, and ratio of non-native plants were studied through literature review and field surveys. The assessment was made by dividing the site into 95 habitats that are perceived by aerial photographs and each habitat unit was assessed on the eight items in a 3-point scale. Each unit habitat assessed in a 3-point scale was segmented into primary, secondary or tertiary areas based on the conservation value. Habitats assessed as primary were designated as priority (absolute) conservation areas and those assessed as secondary and tertiary were set as secondary conservation areas and tertiary conservation areas, respectively. As a result, each area represented 26.9%, 20% and 3% of total site area. Based on this result, habitat management plans were developed to conserve primary conservation areas, improve secondary conservation areas and restore tertiary conservation areas. In addition, a development plan was developed to create habitats in areas where new habitats are requested in order to build an eco-network in the site and a plan to create eco-corridors was proposed. In developing a land use plan for the site, a development plan that considers conservation areas first should be set up based on the outcome of conservation value assessment. This can be linked to the development of an environment-friendly land use plan as well as easing the establishment of a green area and eco-network. This study will facilitate the implementation of the 'conservation before development' principle, which can prevent reckless development, by assessing conservation value in setting up development plans.

본 연구는 희귀식물로 지정되어 있는 애기송이풀의 자생지 환경을 조사하여 보전 및 복원 시 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 조사결과 애기송이풀의 자생지는 해발고도 107~494m 범위와 경사 $5{\sim}20^{\circ}$의 계곡부에 주로 생육하는 것으로 조사되었다. 식생 및 관속식물 조사결과 6개 지역의 18개 방형구 내에서 조사된 관속식물은 총 243분류군이 출현하였으며, 각 조사구 내 초본층의 피도와 빈도를 기초로 한 애기송이풀의 중요치를 산출한 결과 평균 13%로 나타났다. NMS 분석결과, 애기송이풀 자생지에 결정적 영향을 미치는 인자는 목본층의 종구성, 초본층의 종구성보다는 환경적 영향이 더 지배적이라는 말할 수 있다. 이에 자생지의 안정적인 유지를 위해서는 서식지 보전이 중요하며 서식지 주변에 보호구역을 설정하는 것이 필요하다고 판단된다.

The intensive habitats loss of natural organisms as a consequence of anthropogenic activities has lead to the use of alternative habitats for species conservation. We reviewed the current status of alternative habitats and suggest the improvement of alternative habitats. Most of alternative habitats regarded in this study are not following the pre-arranged consultation at environmental impact assessment. These alternative habitats are rendered useless due to the insufficient consideration of ecological characteristics of species and lack of detailed plans. A number of alternative habitats are influenced by disturbance such as environmental pollution and construction. Post-monitoring of alternative habitats are needed to estimate immigration rate of species. Post management is also needed to assess the status of population stability. Overall, low effectiveness of alternative habitats is presented in this study. According to the status survey, methods for improvement of alternative habitats are required such as detailed guidelines, establishment of post-monitoring system, improvement of habitat restoration techniques, and guidelines for management and operation of alternative habitats.

We analyzed data of endangered mammals in the 1st grade zone of the Ecological and Natural Map of Korea that were obtained through 202 field surveys over six years. Five endangered mammal species were identified including otters, long-tailed gorals, martens, leopard cats, and flying squirrels. The total number of habitat traces collected was 918, of which 897 traces (97.7%) were excrement types. The total surveyed distance was 697.7 km and there were 2,184 grids of 250×250 m each. Of these grids, 441 or 20.2% were confirmed as habitats of endangered mammals. Moreover, we analyzed results of repeated surveys in the same area by converting them into individual one-time surveys, accounting for 23.1% of the total area. The flying squirrel showed a low correlation with the frequency of field surveys but showed many habitats in a specific season. Leopard cats and martens were correlated with the frequency of field surveys. Results of analysis confirm that the grid method used for establishing the Ecological and Natural Map is unsuitable for the habitat division of flying squirrels, otters, leopard cats, and martens, and it does not reflect the actual habitats of these four species. Therefore, we propose that the concept of the habitat grid of species must be reevaluated and improved, specifically for endangered mammals.

우리나라에 자생하는 꽃장포 중 희귀식물종인 꽃장포의 주요 분포지의 기상, 토양, 식생특성을 조사 분석하였다. 꽃장포는 해발고 95~145m 저지대의 북향 하천변과 경사도가 $60{\sim}90^{\circ}$정도의 가파른 암벽에 주로 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 자생지 기상조건은 연평균온도가 전국평균보다 낮으며, 연중최고, 최저기온의 차가 극심하고 계곡주변으로 강우 시 물이 올라와 있는 곳으로 습도조건이 중요한 요인 중 하나로 파악되었다. 토양은 조사지 대부분이 약산성토양이고, 한탄강 줄기를 따라 자생지가 이어지지 않고 북북동쪽 사면쪽에서만 나타나 습도조건과 함께 일조량이 생육에 제한요인인 것으로 보였다. 꽃장포 조사지 주변식생은 대부분 조사구에서 돌단풍, 구실사리, 산조풀, 산철쭉 등이 공통으로 출현하였다. 꽃장포 분포지는 모두 우점도와 군도가 3 이하로 낮게 나타났으며 발견된 개체수가 조사지역별로 편차가 매우 컸다. 꽃장포 출현빈도는 관속식물 수와 반비례하여 나타나 다른 식물에 비해 경쟁력이 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 냉온대성식물인 꽃장포는 기후변화로 온도상승과 폭우, 건조로 인해 강물수위변화가 극심해지면서 자생지 축소와 함께 개체 수 감소가 예상되므로 자생지보호와 함께 복원대책이 필요하다.

This study carried out for establishing the synthetic restoration plan to improve ecological quality of Mt. Mudeung National Park based on the results of conservation value assessment for yellow-throated marten habitats. Yellow-throated marten has significant implications as umbrella species for the wildlife habitats conservation, therefore, this species could be used to ecological restoration plan of the damaged forest ecosystem in Mt. Mudeung National Park. In this study, we diagnosed the quality of yellow-throated marten habitats in Mt. Mudeung National Park based on five natural and two artificial factors. In addition, we evaluated the integrity of each zone divided by trails quantitatively based on land use intensity. As a result, forest landscape quality in Mt. Mudeung National Park was influenced greatly by human activity and the degree was depended on the intensity of trails. Therefore, in this study, we suggested the closing of trails composed of the illegal and 36 legal trails. And then, we modeled the changes of habitats quality of Yellow-throated marten for each closing step. As a result the area of core habitats increased by two times and wildlife habitats quality improved in the whole area of the Mt. Mudeung National Park. As a result, the results of this study indicate that man-made linear landscape elements play a key role in the quality of habitats for predators, which require large habitats area like the Yellow-throated marten. Therefore, in order to establish an ecological restoration plan in the mountainous area, we recommend the concept of the linear landscape should be applied with the concept of area landscape.

2007년 3월부터 2008년 2월까지 낙동강하구에서 관찰된 천연기념물 조류는 검은머리물떼새(Haematopus ostralegus; 제326호), 원앙(Aix galericulata; 제327호), 고니(Cygnus columbianus; 제201-1호), 큰고니(Cygnus cygnus; 제201-2호), 저어새(Platalea minor; 제205-1호), 노랑부리저어새(Platalea leucorodia; 제205-2호), 참수리(Haliaeetus pelagicus; 제243-3호), 흰꼬리수리(Haliaeetus albicilla; 제243-4호), 잿빛개구리매(Circus cyaneus; 제323-6호), 황조롱이(Falco tinnunculus; 제323-8호), 개리(Anser cygnoides; 제325-1호) 등 총 11종 2,209개체였다. 특히, 국내 철새도래지 중 2,000개체 이상의 큰고니(Cygnus cygnus)가 월동하는 곳은 낙동강하구가 유일하다. 을숙도와 명지 갯벌 및 사구주변의 간석지(명금머리, 백합등, 도요등, 장자도 등)는 노랑부리저어새, 큰고니, 개리 등 천연기념물 조류의 주요 서식지이며, 세모고랭이(Scirpus triqueter), 갈대(Phragmites communis) 등의 수생식물군락은 큰고니를 비롯한 오리류의 채식 및 휴식처로서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 낙동강하구의 서식지 및 천연기념물 조류의 보호와 관리 방안으로 수질오염의 최소화, 수생식물의 서식지 조성 및 관리, 사구 및 갯벌의 보호, 안정적인 서식지 확보, 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다고 생각된다.
