Global warming accelerates both carbon (C) input through increased forest productivity and heterotrophic C emission in forest soils, and a future trend in soil C dynamics is uncertain. In this study, the Korean forest soil carbon model (KFSC model) was applied to 1,467,458 ha of Pinus densiflora forests in Korea to predict future C dynamics under RCP 8.5 climate change scenario (RCP scenario). Korea was divided into 16 administrative regions, and P. densiflora forests in each region were classified into six classes by their stand ages : 1 to 10 (I), 11 to 20 (II), 21 to 30 (III), 31 to 40 (IV), 41 to 50 (V), and 51 to 80-year-old (VI+). The forest of each stand age class in a region was treated as a simulation unit, then future net primary production (NPP), soil respiration (SR) and forest soil C stock of each simulation unit were predicted from the 2012 to 2100 under RCP scenario and constant temperature scenario (CT scenario). As a result, NPP decreased in the initial stage of simulation then increased while SR increased in the initial stage of simulation then decreased in both scenarios. The mean NPP and SR under RCP scenario was 20.2% and 20.0% higher than that under CT scenario, respectively. When the initial age class was I, IV, V or VI+, predicted soil C stock under CT scenario was higher than that under RCP scenario, however, the countertrend was observed when the initial age class was II or III. Also, forests having a lower site index showed a lower soil C stock. It suggested that the impact of temperature on NPP was higher when the forests grow faster. Soil C stock under RCP scenario decreased at the end of simulation, and it might be derived from exponentially increased SR under the higher temperature condition. Thus, the difference in soil C stock under two scenarios will be much larger in the further future.

기후변화에 따른 수문 순환의 변화로 인해 전 지구적으로 수문현상의 규모와 빈도가 변화할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 하지만 북한의 미래의 극한 강수량에 대한 정량적인 평가는 거의 시도되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 25개 GCM을 활용하여 북한의 극한 강수량의 변화를 전망하였다. 참조기간(1980-2005년)의 20년 빈도의 강수량은 RCP8.5 시나리오에서 F1(2011-2040년) 기간에서 21.1년으로 증가하였고, F2(2040-2070년) 기간에서 16.2년으로 감소하였으며, F3(2071-2100년) 기간에서는 8.8년으로 감소하였다. 참조기간에 대한 각 미래에서의 20년 빈도 강수량의 지역평균을 비교한 결과, RCP4.5의 F3 기간은 참조기간에 비해 43.4 mm 증가하였고, RCP8.5에서는 80.7 mm로 RCP4.5보다 20년 빈도 강수량의 증가가 더욱 커질 것으로 전망되었다. 기후변화로 인해 극한 강수량 발생빈도는 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 또한 남북 국경지역의 강수량의 변동성이 커질 것으로 예상되며, 이로 인해 발생할 수 있는 피해를 저감하기 위해 남북이 공유하고 있는 북한강과 임진강에 대한 공동적인 대응이 필요할 것이다.

Water supply system aims to meet the user's demand by securing water resources in a stable way. However, water supply failure sometimes happens because inflow decreases during drought period. Droughts induced by the lack of precipitation do not always lead to water supply failures. Thus, it is necessary to consider features of actual water shortage event when we evaluate a water supply risk. In this study, we developed a new drought index for drought management, i.e., Joint Drought Management Index (JDMI), using two water supply system performance indices such as reliability and vulnerability. Future data that were estimated from GCMs according to RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios were used to estimate future water supply risk. After dividing the future period into three parts, the risk of water supply failure in the Nakdong River basin was analyzed using the JDMI. As a result, the risk was higher with the RCP 4.5 than the RCP 8.5. In case of RCP 4.5, W18 (Namgangdam) was identified as the most vulnerable area, whereas in case of RCP 8.5, W23 (Hyeongsangang) and W33 (Nakdonggangnamhae) were identified as the most vulnerable area.

최근 전 세계적으로 이상기후로 인해 극한 사상의 기후현상이 잦아지고 있으며 그로인한 피해가 확산되면서 관심이 높아지고 있다. 특히, 국내하천의 경우 높은 하상계수를 가지고 있는 만큼 수자원보전에 취약하고 수질의 문제 또한 대두되고 있다. 4대강 중 하나인 낙동강에는 8개의 보가 설치되었고 유역에 안동, 임하, 합천, 남강, 밀양댐 등 다기능댐이 있어 댐의 방류량이 낙동강의 유량에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 낙동강의 유량 및 수질을 관리하기 위해서는 이러한 현황들을 반영하여 유역관리를 포함한 통합적인 유량 및 수질관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 IPCC에서 제공하는 AR5 RCP4.5 시나리오를 분위사상법(Quantile mapping)과 CF 다운스케일링 기법을 사용하여 유역에 맞게 상세화를 수행하였으며, 검 보정을 거친 SWAT 모형의 입력자료로 사용하여 낙동강 유역의 본류 및 지류의 미래 유출량 및 오염부하량을 예측하였다. 낙동강 유역에서의 미래기후변화 시나리오를 분석한 결과, 비홍수기에 32.3%, 홍수기에 31.1% 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 2041 ~ 2070년도에 6%까지 증가하였다가 2071 ~ 2100년에 0.4% 감소하였다. 미래기후변화 시나리오를 SWAT 모형에 적용한 결과로는 주요 8개 지류에서 비슷한 패턴을 보였으며, 위천과 남강에서 각각 최대 45.5%, 16.6% 유출량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Although problems such as river management and flood control have occurred continuously in the Imjin and Bukhan river basin, which are shared by South and North Korea, efforts to manage the basin have not been carried out consistently due to limited cooperation. As the magnitude and frequency of hydrologic phenomena are changing due to global climate change, it is necessary to prepare countermeasures for the rainfall variation in the shared river basin area. Therefore, this study was aimed to project future changes in extreme precipitation in South-North Korea shared river basin by applying 13 Global Climate Models (GCM). Results showed that the probability rainfall compared to the reference period (1981-2005) of the shared river basin increased in the future periods of 2011-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100 under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP)4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. In addition, the rainfall frequency over the 20-year return period was increased in all periods except for the future periods of 2041-2070 and 2071-2100 under the RCP4.5 scenario. The extreme precipitation in the shared river basin has increased both in magnitude and frequency, and it is expected that the region will have a significant impact from climate change.

Having knowledge regarding to which region is prone to drought or flood is a crucial issue in water resources planning and management. This could be more challenging when the occurrence of these hazards affected by climate change. In this study the future streamflow during the wet season (July to September) and dry season (October to March) for the twenty first century of South Korea was investigated. This study used the statistics of precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature of one global climate model (i.e., INMCM4) with 2 RCPs (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) scenarios as inputs for The Precipitation-Runoff Modelling System (PRMS) model. The PRMS model was tested for the historical periods (1966-2016) and then the parameters of model were used to project the future changes of 5 large River basins in Korea for three future periods (2025s, 2055s, and 2085s) compared to the reference period (1976-2005). Then, the different responses in climate and streamflow projection during these two seasons (wet and dry) was investigated. The results showed that under INMCM4 scenario, the occurrence of drought in dry season is projected to be stronger in 2025s than 2055s from decreasing -7.23% (-7.06%) in 2025s to -3.81% (-0.71%) in 2055s for RCP4.5 (RCP8.5). Regarding to the far future (2085s), for RCP 4.5 is projected to increase streamflow in the northern part, and decrease streamflow in the southern part (-3.24%), however under RCP8.5 almost all basins are vulnerable to drought, especially in the southern part (-16.51%). Also, during the wet season both increasing (Almost in northern and western part) and decreasing (almost in the southern part) in streamflow relative to the reference period are projected for all periods and RCPs under INMCM4 scenario.

최근 온실가스의 배출량이 급격히 증가하였고, 지구온난화로 인해 전 세계적으로 홍수, 가뭄, 태풍 등 이상기후로 인한 극한 수문 현상들의 변화가 두드러지게 나타나고 있다. 수공구조물의 설계에 있어 적절한 확률강우량의 추정은 매우 중요한 과정 중의 하나이다. 확률강우량의 추정은 일반적으로 확보된 강우자료를 지속시간별로 연최대자료를 추출하여 빈도해석을 통해 산정하게 된다. 그러나 기후변화의 영향으로 집중호우와 잦은 홍수로 인한 피해가 증가함에따라 과거 강우자료를 바탕으로 확률강우강도를 활용하여 확률강우량을 추정하는 것이 매우 어려워졌다. 따라서, 이번 연구에서는 기후변화 시나리오 중 하나인 RCP 시나리오를 활용하며, 우리나라 온실가스 저감정책을 잘 반영하고 있는 것으로 보고되는 RCP 4.5시나리오와 RCP 8.5 시나리오를 선정하여 1975년도부터 2020년도까지의 모의자료와 2021년도부터 2100년도까지의 미래강우량 자료를 통해 강원지역을 대상으로 비정상성 GEV 모형을 활용하여 지역빈도해석을 수행하고 미래 설계강우량 산정을 위한 비정상성 IDF 곡선을 유도하여 분석하고자 한다.

This study was conducted to predict the changes of yearly productive area distribution for Quercus mongolica under climate change scenarios. For this, site index equations by ecoprovinces were first developed using environmental factors. Using the large data set from both a digital forest site map and a climatic map, a total of 48 environmental factors including 19 climatic variables were regressed on site index to develop site index equations. Two climate change scenarios, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5, were then applied to the developed site index equations and the distribution of productive areas for Quercus mongolica were predicted from 2020 to 2100 years in 10-year intervals. The results from this study show that the distribution of productive areas for Quercus mongolica generally decreases as time passes. It was also found that the productive area distribution of Quercus mongolica is different over time under two climate change scenarios. The RCP 8.5 which is more extreme climate change scenario showed much more decreased distribution of productive areas than the RCP 4.5. It is expected that the study results on the amount and distribution of productive areas over time for Quercus mongolica under climate change scenarios could provide valuable information necessary for the policies of suitable species on a site.

This study aims to examine spatially-detailed changes and projection of subtropical climate zones based on the modified K$\ddot{o}$ppen-Trewartha's climate classification and extreme temperature indices using $1km{\times}1km$ high resolution RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 climate change scenarios based on PRIDE model over the Republic of Korea. Subtropical climate zones currently located along the southern coastal region. Future subtropical climate zones would be pushed northwards expanding to the western and the eastern coastal regions as well as some metropolitan areas. For both scenarios, the frequency of cold-related extreme temperatures projects to be reduced while the frequency of hot-related ones projects to be increased. Especially, hot days with $33^{\circ}C$ or higher temperature projects to occur more than 30 days over the most of regions except for some mountain areas with high altitudes during the period of 2070~2100. This study might provide essential information to make climate change adaptation processes be enhanced.

보령댐은 충남 서부지역 8개 시·군에 생활용수와 공업용수를 공급하고 있는 중요한 수원으로 최근 우리나라에서 발생한 연속적인 가뭄으로 2015년에는 저수율이 7.5 %까지 감소하여 제한급수가 시행되었다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄으로 인한 물 공급 부족에 취약함을 보인 보령댐 유역(297.4 ㎢)을 대상으로 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모델과 RCP(Representative Concentration Pathways) 시나리오를 활용하여 극한 기후변화 사상이 반영된 보령댐의 내한능력을 평가하였다. SWAT 모형을 활용하여 보령댐의 물수지를 모의하기 위하여 보령댐의 실측 유출량, 저수량, 방류량으로 보령댐 유입량과 저수량을 보정(2002~2004) 및 검정(2005~2007)하였으며, 실측 저수량을 기반으로 미래 댐 운영을 모의하였다. 검·보정 결과, 댐 유입량과 저수량의 PBIAS(%)는 -0.04, -0.09, NSE(Nash and Sutcliffe Efficiency)는 0.52, 0.96, RMSE(Root Mean Square Error)는 1.80 mm/day, 0.67 × 10⁶㎥로 분석되어 신뢰성 있는 모의 결과를 보였다. 보정된 SWAT 모형으로 가뭄 사상이 반영된 기후변화를 모의하기 위하여 APCC의 26개 CMIP5 GCM 시나리오를 SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index)와 연속 이론(Runs theory)으로 분석하여 6개의 극한 가뭄 시나리오 (RCP 4.5, 8.5 CMCC-CM, INM-CM4, IPSL-CM5A-MR)를 선정하였으며, 선정된 시나리오를 모형에 적용하여 가뭄 사상을 반영한 보령댐의 미래 내한능력을 평가하였다. 내한능력평가 및 분석 기간은 Historical(1980~1999; 1990s), Present(2000~2019; 2010s), 그리고 미래 기간 (2020~2039; 2030s, 2040~2059; 2050s, 2060~2079; 2070s, 2080~2099; 2090s)으로 나누었으며, 취약성(Reliability), 회복성(Resilience), 위험성(Vulnerability), 세 가지 지표로 내한능력 평가를 수행하였다. 평가 결과, 미래 취약성은 2050s IPSL-CM5A-MR 시나리오에서 0.803까지 감소하였으며, 회복성과 위험성은 2070s IPSL-CM5A-MR 시나리오에서 0.003, 3,567.6 × 10⁶㎥까지 감소하였다.
