Abstract

Evaluation of tree responses to temperature elevation is critical for a development of forest management techniques coping with climate change. We conducted a study on the growth responses of Betula costata, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, and Quercus variabilis seedlings to open-field artificial warming. Artificial warming set-up using infra-red heater was built in 2012 and the temperature in warmed plots was regulated to be consistently $3^{\circ}C$ higher than that of control plots. The seeds of three species were sown, and the responses of growth, biomass allocation, and net photosynthetic rate of newly-germinated seedlings on the open-field artificial warming were determined. As a result, the growth responses of the seedlings differed with the species. B. costata showed decreases in the height to diameter ratio (H/D ratio), biomass, root weight to shoot weight ratio, and net photosynthetic rate. However, root collar diameter (RCD), height, biomass, and net photosynthetic rate of Q. variabilis were increased, while the response of F. rhynchophylla was rather obscure. There was no significant difference between warmed and control plots in seedling growth for 3 species in July, whereas, RCD, height, and H/D ratio of Q. variabilis were increased and H/D ratio of B. costata was decreased in November under warming. Species-specific growth responses to warming were similar to the species-specific responses of net photosynthetic rate and biomass allocation; therefore, net photosynthetic rate and biomass allocation might attribute to growth responses to warming. Besides, a relatively obvious response in autumn compared to summer might be affected by the phenological change following artificial warming. Species-specific responses of three deciduous species to warming in this study could be applied to the development of adaptive forest management policies to climate change.

기후변화 대응 산림 관리 방법을 개발하기 위해서는 온난화에 따른 수목의 반응을 예측하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 우리나라 주요 활엽수종인 거제수나무(Betula costata), 물푸레나무(Fraxinus rhynchophylla), 굴참나무(Quercus variabilis) 묘목의 실외 인위적 온난화에 대한 생장 반응을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위해 적외선등을 이용하여 지속적으로 기온을 $3^{\circ}C$ 증가시킬 수 있는 실외 인위적 온난화 시스템을 구축하고, 활엽수 3개 수종을 파종한 후, 온도 증가에 대한 발아 당년 묘목의 생장, 생물량 분배 및 순광합성률의 반응을 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 거제수나무, 물푸레나무, 굴참나무 묘목의 생장은 실외 인위적 온난화 처리에 대하여 수종과 시기에 따라 서로 다른 반응을 나타냈다. 즉 거제수나무는 온난화 처리에 따라 근원경 대비 묘고 비율, 총 생물량, 지상부 대비 뿌리 중량 비율, 순광합성률 등이 감소한 반면, 굴참나무는 근원경, 묘고, 총 생물량, 순광합성률 등이 증가하였으며, 물푸레나무는 다른 수종에 비하여 생장 반응이 뚜렷하지 않았다. 시기별 반응으로는, 7월에는 모든 수종에 대하여 온난화 처리에 따른 변화가 나타나지 않았으나 11월에는 굴참나무의 근원경, 묘고, H/D율이 증가한 반면 거제수나무의 H/D율이 감소하였다. 온난화에 대한 수종별 생장 반응의 차이는 순광합성률 및 생물량 분배의 수종별 반응과 유사하게 나타나, 온도 증가에 의한 순광합성률과 생물량 분배의 수종별 차이가 생장에 영향을 미친 것으로 생각된다. 한편, 여름에 비하여 가을에 더 두드러지게 나타난 생장 반응은 온난화에 의한 식물 계절 특성의 변화에 의한 것으로 보인다. 활엽수 3개 수종에 대하여 온난화에 의한 수종 특이적 생장 반응을 밝힌 본 연구 결과는 기후변화에 대응한 산림 관리 정책 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
