Abstract

Fire-enhanced soil hydrophobicity often increases runoff and erosion in the mountain hillslope following severe wildfires. Estimation techniques for WEPP's parameters were studied in burnt mountain slopes. In burnt mountain slopes, the model over-predicted runoff in the small runoff and under-predicted runoff in the great runoff, and in the lower sediment runoff it had a tendency to over-predict soil loss. The effective hydraulic conductivity was most sensitive in the WEPP's runoff and its sediment runoff was mainly effected by the effective hydraulic conductivity, initial saturation, rill erodibility, and interrill erodibility. To improve the applicability of the WEPP, the adjustment coefficient of effective hydraulic conductivity was defined for runoff and the adjustment coefficient of rill erodibility and interrill erodibility was presented for sediment runoff. The adjustment coefficient of effective hydraulic conductivity in wildfire mountain slopes increased with maximum rainfall intensity of single storm and the vegetation height index. The adjustment coefficients of rill erodibility depended on soil components of size distribution curve and total rainfall depths in single storm. The adjustment coefficients of interrill erodibility decreased with increases of maximum rainfall intensity and vegetation height index. These results may be used in the application of WEPP model for wildfire mountain slopes.

산불에 따른 토양의 반발수력 증대로 산지의 유출량과 토양침식량이 가중된다. WEPP모형을 산불지역에 적용하기 위한 주요 매개변수들의 최적 추정기법에 대해 연구하였다. 산불지역에서 WEPP모형은 유출량이 적을 때 과대평가하고 많으면 과소평가하였으며 토양침식량이 적은 경우에도 과대 산정하는 경향이 있다. 산불지역에서 이 모형의 유출량 변화는 유효투수계수가 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 토사유출량 변화는 유효투수계수, 초기포화도, 세류침식계수, 세류간침식계수가 주로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 산불지역에서 WEPP의 적용성을 향상시키기 위하여 유출량에 대해서는 유효투수조정계수를 도입하고, 토사유출량에 대해서는 세류침식조정계수와 세류간침식조정계수를 도입하였다. 유효투수조정계수는 강우사상의 최대강우강도와 식생인자에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 세류침식조정계수는 입도분포의 토양성분 특성과 강우사상의 총강우량에 좌우되었으며 세류간침식조정계수는 최대강우강도와 식생고지수의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 본 연구결과는 산불지역 사면에서 WEPP모형의 적용에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
