Abstract

Despite the close linkage in changes between the ecological and hydrological processes in forest ecosystems, an integrative approach has not been incorporated successfully. In this study, based on the vegetation and hydrologic data of the Gwangneung headwater catchment with the Geographic Information System, we attempted such an integrated approach by employing the Regional Hydro-Ecologic Simulation System (RHESSys). To accomplish this, we have (1) constructed the input data for RHESSys, (2) developed an integrated calibration system that enables to consider both ecological and hydrological processes simultaneously, and (3) performed sensitivity analysis to estimate the optimum parameters. Our sensitivity analyses on six soil parameters that affect streamflow patterns and peak flow show that the decay parameter of horizontal saturated hydraulic conductivity $(s_1)$ and porosity decay by depth (PD) had the highest sensitivity. The optimization of these two parameters to estimate the optimum streamflow variation resulted in a prediction accuracy of 0.75 in terms of Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSec). These results provide an important basis for future evaluation and mapping of the watershed-scale soil moisture and evapotranspiration in forest ecosystems of Korea.

산림생태계의 생태과정과 수문과정의 변화는 밀접하게 연관되어 있음에도 불구하고 통합적으로 다루어지지 못해 왔다. 본 연구에서는 광릉 소유역에서 관측되고 있는 식생 및 수문자료와 지리정보시스템(GIS)을 기반으로 지역규모의 생태수문 모사 시스템인 RHESSys를 이용하여 이러한 통합을 시도하였다. 이를 위해, (1) RHESSys의 입력자료를 구축, 모형을 구동하고 (2) 다양한 생태수문과정을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 모형보정체계를 수립하고, (3) 민감도 분석을 통해 최적의 모수를 추정하였다. RHESSys의 유량패턴과 첨두유량에 영향을 주는 6개의 토양모수를 대상으로 민감도를 분석한 결과, 수평 포화 수리 전도도와 공극률의 깊이에 따른 감쇄가 유량에 대해 가장 큰 민감도를 보였다. 이 두 모수를 변화시켜 최적의 유량패턴 적합도를 산출한 결과, 유량예측의 적합도 지수(NSec)는 0.75였다. 이러한 결과는 향후 유역 단위의 토양 수분 및 증발산을 모사하고 그 공간분포를 나타내는 지도 제작을 위한 기본적인 평가기준으로서 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다.
