2006년부터 5년 계획으로 시작한 제3차 전국자연환경조사를 비롯한 우리나라 자연 환경조사의 실태와 일본, 독일, 미국, 영국의 자연환경조사체계를 비교 검토하였다. 국내 여건을 토대로 선진 외국과 우리나라 조사체계를 비교 검토한 결과, 생물종 중심의 자연환경조사에서 벗어나 서식지, 생태계 및 생태권역에 대한 조사를 실시하고, 나아가 위성영상이나 항공사진을 이용하여 토지자원의 공간분포를 주기적으로 파악하여야 할 것이다. 특히 위성영상은 생물종, 서식지, 생태계 조사를 위한 기초 자료로 활용하여야 한다. 조사내용 확대 및 다양한 정보수집을 위해 다방면의 전문인력을 확보하고, 지역주민의 자연환경 보전의식을 고취시키기 위해 자원봉사자의 참여를 유도해야 할 것이다. 전국에 걸친 생물종 및 생태계 조사, 데이터베이스 구축은 물론 자료의 분석 가공을 통해 자연환경정책 수립이나 생물다양성 국제협약에 대처하기 위해서는 독립된 전문조사기관의 설립이 필요하다. 전문조사기관의 설립을 통해서 물리적인 서식환경을 포함한 다양한 분야의 자연환경조사를 체계적으로 수행하고 생물다양성에 대한 종합적인 현황파악과 변화예측을 통해 보다 신속 정확한 자연환경 정보를 생성할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 GIS의 공간데이타 통합 기능을 이용하여 전통적인 자연환경 샘플링 조사의 결과를 지도화하고 자연환경 관련 각종 주제도를 통합한 데이터베이스를 구축함으로써 그 결과를 토대로 정부의 각종 자연보전정책을 지원할 수 있는 전국 규모의 실용적인 자연환경 GIS의 구축 가능성을 검증하는 것이 목적이었다. 그리하여 현지 샘플링 조사의 수치 지도화 작업이 이루어졌고 기존의 다양한 자연환경관련 주제도가 통합 데이터 베이스로 구축되었다. 아울러 GIS 비전문가도 필요한 정보를 쉽게 검색하여 활용할 수 있도록 하는 사용자 인터페이스가 디자인되었다. 구축된 시스템은 다양한 자료처리능력, 신속성을 바탕으로 지금까지는 불가능했던 방대한 양의 각종 자연환경 지도정보와 속성정보를 통합한 분석기능을 제공하여 의사결정 보조수단으로서의 활용가치가 매우 높은 것으로 사료되었다. 기존의 조사지점에만 국한된 통계 수치정보가 광역적인 자연환경변화 추이를 시각적으로 제시하는 데 많은 한계가 있었으나, 컴퓨터 지도의 시청각 효과를 이용한 광역공간정보의 활용을 통해 자연환경정책 결정과정의 설득력 확보에 기여하는 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 보여졌다. 과거 자료검색을 위해 소요되는 시간 때문에 자연환경보전 기본계획 수립 등 많은 업무를 객관적인 데이터에 의거한 과학적인 정책결정이 아닌 직관에 의존하여 왔던 것이 사실이다. 본 연구가 이와 같은 관행을 개선할 수 있는 계기가 되어 향후 국가 전체차원의 자연환경GIS 구축이나 각급 지방자치단체의 보다 대축척인 자연환경GIS 구축사업에서 기술적이나 정책적인 측면의 중요한 참고자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines (Xcg) is a major pathogen of soybean (Glycine max) in South Korea, despite the availability of soybean varieties with some resistance. We conducted a nationwide survey of the incidence and severity of bacterial pustule caused by Xcg. The percentage of infected fields was 7% to 17% between 2015 and 2017. We characterized the diversity of a nationwide collection of 106 Xcg isolates based on avrBs3 banding patterns. The isolates fell into 11 groups, each represented by a type strain; only two of these were similar to isolates collected from 1999 to 2002. The diversity of Xcg strains increased and the dominant strains changed between 1999 and 2017, with three new type strains comprising 44% of the isolates examined in 2012 to 2017. Pathogenicity tests did not show evidence for a shift in the races or aggressiveness of Xcg strains. Korean soybean cultivars, including the widely-grown Daewon cultivar, were susceptible to the 11 new type strains. The cultivar CNS, which carries the rxp resistance gene, was susceptible to most type strains, including two representing 83% of the Korean Xcg strains. In contrast, Williams 82, which also carries rxp, showed resistance to at least five type strains. Collectively, these results suggest that Williams 82 has resistance loci in addition to rxp. The widespread distribution of Xcg, the high virulence of the current endemic strains, and the low resistance of most Korean soybean cultivars collectively favor widespread disease in Korea in years that are favorable to pustule development.

The occurrence of wild boars (Sus scrofa Linnaeus) and reports of wildlife-vehicle conflicts (i.e., road-kill) involving them have increased in natural forest regions of Korea. In the past few decades, many wildlife passages have been constructed to reduce vehicle collisions involving wildlife species. However, few studies have assessed the habitat suitability of target wildlife species when locating the construction sites of wildlife passages. Target species rarely use wildlife passages if built in an inappropriate location. Therefore, a quantitative habitat model is required to find suitable sites for wildlife passages that can connect the fragmented forest patches of wildlife habitats in Korea. In this study, the wild boar was selected as the target species, and six environmental variables (percentage of Quercus forest, slope aspect, distance to roads, water accessibility, forest stand age and density) were measured. The habitat model for wild boars was developed with a Delphi survey, and habitat suitability maps were delineated for the provinces of Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do. In this study, 298 and 64 boars were observed in Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do, respectively. Observations of wild boars derived from the second nationwide natural environmental survey were used to evaluate the habitat model. Habitat suitability maps that superimposed existing road networks suggested that wild boar habitats were severely fragmented in both provinces, particularly in Gangwon-do. To connect the fragmented habitats and prevent wildlife-vehicle collisions, this study proposes 11 and 5 wildlife passage sites in Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do, respectively.

The Korean peninsula belongs to the temperate forest biome dominated by many deciduous oaks. We quantitatively and qualitatively studied vertical and horizontal distributions and habitat characteristics on the major oak species such as Quercus mongolica, Q. serrata, Q. variabilis, Q. dentata, Q. aliena and Q. acutissima. A total of 5,278 samples were analyzed with a species coverage and 6 principal environmental variables extracted from public database of nationwide natural environment survey. Correlation analysis was accomplished by the CANOCO using Canonical Correspondence Analysis and the Pearson correlation coefficient using PASW Statistics. The hierarchical distribution tendency of six oaks was finalized using the Goodman-Kruskal lambda coefficient of non-metric multidimensional scaling by SYN-TAX 2000. The utmost factor on the distributional segregation of oak species was the elevation, i.e. temperature. Q. serrata and Q. mongolica show clearly a diametrical distribution patterns with zonal distribution. Q. variabilis was determined as a thermophilic and xerophilous species that is a component of not only natural pseudo-climax forest but also secondary forest. The highest frequency of the dominant forest was found Q. mongolica. Whereas, Q. serrata showed the highest frequency of individual tree but the relatively lower frequency of dominant forest, which is resulted from the original habitat loss. By the benefit of the traditional Soopjeong-E, Q. acutissima dominant forests were remained rather largely. Individuals of Q. dentata occurred horizontally nationwide, but its dominant forest was the poorest. Dominant forest of Q. aliena, which is a natural vegetation, was the most rare due to a limited potential habitat.

A habitat model was developed to delineate potential habitat of the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) in a mountainous region of Kangwon Province, Korea. Between 1997 and 2005, 224 leopard cat presence sites were recorded in the province in the Nationwide Survey on Natural Environments. Fifty percent of the sites were used to develop a habitat model, and the remaining sites were used to test the model. Fourteen environmental variables related to topographic features, water resources, vegetation and human disturbance were quantified for 112 of the leopard cat presence sites and an equal number of randomly selected sites. Statistical analyses (e.g., t-tests, and Pearson correlation analysis) showed that elevation, ridges, plains, % water cover, distance to water source, vegetated area, deciduous forest, coniferous forest, and distance to paved road differed significantly (P < 0.01) between presence and random sites. Stepwise logistic regression was used to develop a habitat model. Landform type (e.g., ridges vs. plains) is the major topographic factor affecting leopard cat presence. The species also appears to prefer deciduous forests and areas far from paved roads. The habitat map derived from the model correctly classified 93.75% of data from an independent sample of leopard cat presence sites, and the map at a regional scale showed that the cat's habitats are highly fragmented. Protection and restoration of connectivity of critical habitats should be implemented to preserve the leopard cat in mountainous regions of Korea.

The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkia) originated from the North America distribute widely as invasive species throughout the world including Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and South America. The red swamp crayfish is also an invasive species in South Korea. We aimed to characterize the occurrence and distribution pattern of the red swamp crayfish, and evaluate the potential distribution of this species in South Korea. In South Korea, the red swamp crayfish was firstly reported in Seoul in 1996, and recently its occurrence is frequently reported at streams or reservoirs at different regions, showing the expansion of its distribution area. The red swamp crayfish has high potential to occur in the nationwide scale in South Korea because of their biological adaptation, effects of climate change, changes of their habitat condition, and various types of human activities. Finally, our results revealed the necessary to conduct an extensive field survey, to keep up a monitoring program for the occurrence of alien species, and to implement a strategy to prevent the dispersal of alien species in the natural ecosystems.

한국에서 산림생태계의 구조적 변화를 예측하기 위하여, 산림 면적과 임목축적량의 변화와 조림지에서 임상식생구조를 문헌조사에 의하여 파악하였다. 한국의 삼림은 1950년대에 심하게 훼손되었지만, 1970~1980년대에 활발히 조림하여 임목축적량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 하지만 삼림면적은 5,500 ha 년$^{-1}$씩 감소하고 있다. 임목축적량 변화에 대한 회귀분석 결과에 의하면 임목축적량을 기준으로 성숙림으로 기대되는 해는 약 2150년으로 예측된다. 현재 일본잎갈나무, 잣나무 및 아까시나무 조림지에는 신갈나무, 물푸레나무, 산벚나무등의 잠재자연식생이 형성되고 있으므로 미래에 이들의 숲이 형성될 것으로 기대된다.
