Abstract

In order to explore vegetation adaptation to climate variability and the impacts on water balance dynamics, the inter-regional and the inter-annual variability of both water availability and vegetation productivity are investigated. The Horton index, which is the ratio between actual evapotranspiration and catchment wetting as a measure of vegetation water use at catchment-scale, is revisited to quantify the effects of growing-season water availability on hydrologic partitioning at catchment scale. It is shown that the estimated Horton index is relatively constant irrespective of inter-annual climate variability. In addition, the Horton index is compared with catchment-scale vegetation rain use efficiency. The results show that there is an interesting pattern in the response of vegetation water use to water availability. When water becomes the limiting factor for vegetation productivity, the catchment-scale vegetation rain use efficiency converges to a common maximum value in agreement with earlier findings at the ecosystem level.

기후변동에 따른 식생반응 및 그에 따른 물수지 동역학의 변화를 살펴볼 목적으로 본 연구에서는 식생의 물 이용가능성과 식생 생산량의 지역별 연별 변동성을 분석하였다. 유역의 식생 물이용의 대리변수로서 습윤량에 대한 기화량의 비로 표현되는 Horton 지수의 계산을 통하여 유역에서의 수문 분할과 그에 따른 식생의 물 이용 가능성에 대한 정량화를 시도하였다. 연별 Horton 지수의 추정결과 기후의 변동성과 비교하여 볼 때 상대적으로 일정한 값을 유지하고 있는 것을 살펴볼 수 있다. 이와 더불어 Horton 지수와 식생의 강우이용효율을 비교한 결과, 물 이용가능성에 따른 식생의 물 이용에 대한 흥미로운 패턴이 있음을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 물이 식생 성장에 제한요소가 될 경우 식생의 강우이용효율은 공통적인 최대값으로 수렴한다는 선행연구들의 결과를 본 연구를 통해서도 확인할 수 있다.
