Abstract

This study has compared the different types of forest fires(unburned, crown fire, ground fire) and the degree of vegetation recovery at Samcheuk-si, Gangwon-do by assessing the biomass and net primary production from July 2007 through July 2010. The research showed that the average biomass of unburned site(Un), crown fire site(C-1), crown fire site(C-3), ground fire site(G-2) were $181.20{\pm}5.39$, $62.04{\pm}4.38$, $131.09{\pm}14.38$, $63.39{\pm}2.72ton{\cdot}ha^{-1}$, respectively. And the research showed that the average net primary production of unburned site(Un), crown fire site(C-1), crown fire site(C-3), ground fire site(G-2) were $4.17{\pm}0.56$, $3.27{\pm}1.56$, $11.51{\pm}0.53$, $2.10{\pm}0.31ton{\cdot}ha^{-1}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$, respectively. Quercus mongolica $DH_{10}$(Diameter at the 10cm tree height) growth rate at each plot was compared to the crown fire site(C-1) in the annual average $1.21{\pm}0.55mm{\cdot}yr^{-1}$ at the speed of the fastest growth follows; showed crown fire site(C-3), ground fire site(G-2), unburned site(Un) appeared in the order. And that showed the growth rate of height was highest in the $15.43{\pm}4.57cm{\cdot}yr^{-1}$ at crown fire site(C-3), then the crown fire site(C-1), and ground fire site(G-2), and lowest in the unburned site(Un).

본 연구에서는 2007년 7월부터 2010년 7월까지 4년 동안 강원도 삼척시에서 산불 유형(비산불조사구: 산불피해를 입지 않은 지역, 수관화: 산불에 의해 교목의 수관까지 전소한 지역, 지표화: 산불에 의해 교목의 수관 하층만 전소한 지역)과 산불 후 식생의 재생정도(산불피해 후 식피의 재생정도가 1/3이하인 지역: 1, 산불피해 후 식피의 재생정도가 1/3 ~ 2/3인 지역: 2, 산불피해 후 식피의 재생정도가 2/3이상인 지역: 3)에 따른 현존생물량과 순생산량을 비교하였다. 비산불조사구(Un), 수관화 발생 조사구(C-1, C-3), 지표화 발생 조사구(G-2)에서 4년간 평균 현존생물량은 각각 $181.20{\pm}5.39$, $62.04{\pm}4.38$, $131.09{\pm}14.83$, $63.39{\pm}2.72ton{\cdot}ha^{-1}$로 나타났다. 비산불조사구, 수관화 발생 조사구(C-1, C-3), 지표화 발생 조사구(G-2)에서 4년간 평균 순생산량은 각각 $4.17{\pm}0.56$, $3.27{\pm}1.56$, $11.51{\pm}0.53$, $2.10{\pm}0.31ton{\cdot}ha^{-1}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$로 나타났다. 각 조사구의 공통수종인 신갈나무의 DH_{10}$(지상으로부터 10cm 높이에서의 직경, mm)의 생장률을 비교하여 보면 수관화 발생 조사구(C-1)에서 $1.21{\pm}0.55mm{\cdot}yr^{-1}$로 가장 높았으며 수관화 발생조사구(C-3), 지표화 발생 조사구(G-2), 비산불조사구(Un)의 순으로 나타났다. 수고생장률로 비교하였을 때 수관화 발생 조사구(C-3)에서 $15.43{\pm}4.57cm{\cdot}yr^{-1}$로 가장 높았으며 수관화 발생 조사구(C-1), 지표화 발생 조사구(G-2), 비산불조사구(Un)의 순으로 나타났다.
