Effects of forest fire on soil nutrients in pine forests were studied in Dosong, Kangwon Province in Korea. Soil samples were collected from burned sites and unburned sites (control) at Kusungri, Sampori and Wunbongri. Soil pH in burned sites was higher than that in unburned sites. Soil organic matter did not differ significantly between the burned and unburned sites. Concentrations of available phosphorus in burned soils were about 3 times higher than those in unburned sites. Also, concentrations of ammonium nitrogen were markedly increased in burned sites contrary to those of nitrate nitrogen. Total nitrogen, however, showed no significant difference between the sites. Concentrations of cations, calcium and magnesium, in burned sites were also significantly increased. Thus, even though forest fire removed the aboveground biomass of pine forests, inorganic nutrients added from ash may play a great role for growth of sprouts and seedlings after forest fire.

산불 발생 지역의 피해목 벌채가 조류의 개체군 및 군집에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 강원도 삼척시의 침엽수림 산불 피해지에서 2005년부터 2006년까지 총 57회의 정점 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 산불로 인해 발생한 피해목을 제거하는 산불 후 관리는 종 풍부도(richness), 수도(abundance), 다양성(diversity)의 측면에서 조류의 서식에 매우 불리한 여건을 조성하였다. 길드 분석 결과 피해목 벌채 이후 지상 및 하층식생에서 번식하는 조류(ground-shrub nesters), 나무 구멍에서 번식하는 수동 영소성 조류(davity nesting birds) 등의 서식 밀도가 감소하였으며, 나무에 구멍을 뚫고 먹이를 찾는 조류(timber driller)와 수관층에서 먹이를 찾는 조류(foliage searcher) 역시 피해목 벌채 이후 서식 밀도가 감소하였다. 따라서 산불 발생 지역의 조류 군집을 보전하기 위해서는 일정 수준의 피해목 존치가 필수적이며, 피해목 존치에 대한 산불 후 관리 기준을 수립하기 위해 오색딱다구리(Dendrocopos major) 등 특정 대상 종에 대한 집중적인 연구가 필요하다.

가장자리는 산불 피해 후 산림생태계 변화 및 회복과정에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 산불피해지의 공간 자기상관성을 고려하여 산불피해지 가장자리 형성과 경관특성변수들과의 관계 분석에 목적을 두고 수행되었다. 연구대상지로는 2000년도에 발생한 삼척 산불피해지를 선정하였으며, 대상지내 경관특성변수 측정을 위하여 산불피해지 전 지역을 포함하도록 500 $m^2$ 격자를 생성하였다. 연구에 사용된 경관 특성 변수들로는 표고, 경사, TWI(Topographic Wetness Index), SRI(Solar Radiation Index)을 사용하였고, 연료유형변수와 토지피복 변수를 포함시켰다. 격자들은 산불피해지 경계선과 교차하는 격자는 가장자리로 그 외의 격자들은 내부지역으로 설정하였다. 공간자기 상관을 보정하기 위하여 경관 변형된 t-검정과 상관분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 산불피해지 경계 형성과 양의 관계를 보이는 변수는 TWI, SRI, 물, 전, 답, 개발지, 나대지이며, 음의 관계를 보이는 경관특성변수는 경사, 표고, 그리고 모든 연료 유형 변수들이었다. 특히 TWI은 r=0.437로 경계형성과 강한 양의 관계를 보였다. 따라서 산불 피해지의 경계는 산림과 이질적인 토지피복 혹은 토지이용이 존재하는 경우와 경사가 완만하고 표고는 낮으며, 토양 및 지표면의 상대습도가 높은 지형에서 형성될 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The increasing demand for monitoring wildfires and their impact on the land surface have prompted studies of burned area extraction and analysis. To differentiate burned and unburned area, the earlier method of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) Burned Area Detection Algorithm was proposed to estimate the change in land surface based on the reflectance energy. The energy, whose wavelengths are sensitive to burning, was selected to calculate the change parameter $Z_{score}$. This method was applied using the MODIS images to produce a MODIS Burned Area product. The approach was to simplify this algorithm to make it compatible with the Landsat 7 ETM+ SLC-off images. To extract the refined version of burned regions, post-processing was carried out by applying a median filter, dilation morphology algorithm, and finally a gap filling method. The experimental results showed that the detailed burned areas extracted from the proposed method exhibited more spatial details than those of the MODIS Burned products in the large U.S areas. The results also revealed the discontinuous distribution of burned regions in Vietnam forests.

본 연구는 강원도 고성, 강릉, 삼척의 3개의 산불지에서 딱정벌레군집에 대한 산불강도와 복원방법의 영향을 평가하기 위해서 수행되었다. 4개의 조사지는 산불강도와 복원방법에 의해서 야기된 교란강도(Disturbance Degree, DD)에 따라 각 조사지역에서 선정되었다. 조사지의 교란강도는 미피해지 (DD = 0), 지표화피해지 (DD = 1), 수관화피해지 (DD = 2), 수관화피해 후 인공복원 (DD = 3)로 구분하였다. 함정트랩법으로 채집된 딱정벌레류는 부식자, 식식자와 포식자의 3개 기능군으로 분류되었다. 딱정벌레류의 종수와 풍부도는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었지만, 비산불지(DD = 0)보다 산불지(DD = 1-3)에서 다소 높았다. 딱정벌레군집은 산불의 강도나 복원방법에 따라 차이가 나타났다. 인공복원과 자연복원 두 방법을 사용한 산불지의 복원은 산불지역에서 딱정벌레군집의 다양성을 증가시키는 것으로 판단된다.

To clarify the effects of forest fire on the carbon budget of a forest ecosystem, this study compared the seasonal variation of soil respiration, net primary production and net ecosystem production (NEP) over the year in unburned and burned Pinus densiflora forest areas. The annual net carbon storage (i.e., NPP) was $5.75t\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the unburned site and $2.14t\;C\;ha^{-1}$ in the burned site in 2012. The temperature sensitivity of soil respiration (i.e., $Q_{10}$ value) was higher in the unburned site than in the burned site. The annual soil respiration rate was estimated by the exponential regression equation with the soil temperatures continuously measured at the soil depth of 10 cm. The estimated annual soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration (HR) rates were 8.66 and $4.50t\;C\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ in the unburned site and 4.08 and $2.12t\;C\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ in the burned site, respectively. The estimated annual NEP in the unburned and burned forest areas was found to be 1.25 and $0.02t\;C\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$, respectively. Our results indicate that the differences of carbon budget and cycling between both study sites are considerably correlated with the losses of living plant biomass, insufficient nutrients and low organic materials in the forest soil due to severe damages caused by the forest fire. The burned Pinus densiflora forest area requires at least 50 years to attain the natural conditions of the forest ecosystem prior to the forest fire.

Forest fire is a critical disaster that causes massive destruction of forest ecosystem and economic loss. Hence, accurate estimation of the burned area is important for evaluation of the degree of damage and for preparing baseline data for recovery. Since most of the area size damaged by wildfires in Korea is less than 1 ha, it is necessary to use satellite or drone images with a resolution of less than 10m for detecting the damage area. This paper aims to detect wildfire-damaged area from a Kompsat-3 image using the indices such as NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) and FBI (fire burn index) and to examine the classification characteristics according to the methods such as Otsu thresholding and ISODATA(iterative self-organizing data analysis technique). To mitigate the salt-and-pepper phenomenon of the pixel-based classification, a gaussian filter was applied to the images of NDVI and FBI. Otsu thresholding and ISODATA could distinguish the burned forest from normal forest appropriately, and the salt-and-pepper phenomenon at the boundaries of burned forest was reduced by the gaussian filter. The result from ISODATA with gaussian filter using NDVI was closest to the official record of damage area (56.9 ha) published by the Korea Forest Service. Unlike Otsu thresholding for binary classification,since the ISODATA categorizes the images into multiple classes such as(1)severely burned area, (2) moderately burned area, (3) mixture of burned and unburned areas, and (4) unburned area, the characteristics of the boundaries consisting of burned and normal forests can be better expressed. It is expected that our approach can be utilized for the high-resolution images obtained from other satellites and drones.

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) images can be exploited for rapid forest fire damage assessment by virtue of UAV systems' advantages. In 2019, catastrophic forest fire occurred in Goseong and Sokcho, Korea and burned 1,757 hectares of forests. We visited the town in Goseong where suffered the most severe damage and conducted UAV flights for forest fire damage assessment. In this study, economic and rapid damage assessment method for forest fire has been proposed using UAV systems equipped with only a RGB sensor. First, forest masking was performed using automatic elevation thresholding to extract forest area. Then ExG (Excess Green) vegetation index which can be calculated without near-infrared band was adopted to extract damaged forests. In addition, entropy filtering was applied to ExG for better differentiation between damaged and non-damaged forest. We could confirm that the proposed forest masking can screen out non-forest land covers such as bare soil, agriculture lands, and artificial objects. In addition, entropy filtering enhanced the ExG homogeneity difference between damaged and non-damaged forests. The automatically detected damaged forests of the proposed method showed high accuracy of 87%.

this study was focused on the effects of fire on spatial change of vegetation landscape in rural region. Fire types recognized as erown fire, severe surface fire and light surface fire in order of increasing intensity were described in a fire map. GIS was introduced to understand the relationship between fire types and topographic conditions or vegetation types. We also investigated land-use type and regeneration strategies after burning. Fire intensity depended on topographic conditions and vegetation types. Special land-use type in this area was collection of edible mushroom (Tricholoma matsutake). Mushrooms had been obtained from Pinus densiflora forests existing as edaphic climax or managed artificially. Regeneration strategy in burned areas was to make sprouts from burned oak stumps. A higher density and growth rate of sprouts, as compared to those on unburned areas, facilitated vegetation succession from P. densiflora forest to oak forest and consequently led to change of landscape pattern.
