초록

숲을 체계적으로 관리하고 경영하기 위해서는 나무생장 변화에 대한 신뢰성 있는 예측이 필요하다. 독일의 아이펠 지역에서는 주요 목재종인 유럽너도밤나무가 식재되어 관리되어 지고 있다. 본 지역의 산림관리자의 실제 산림경영의 경험과 조언을 토대로, 다양한 산림 관리에 따른 단기 및 장기 효과를 예측하고자 지역 특수성을 지니는 시뮬레이션 모델의 접근방법을 개발하고자 하였다. 시뮬레이션 모델은 (1) 묘목 생성, (2) 나무 사멸 조절 (3) 나무 생장의 세 가지 모듈로 구성된다. 산림관리자에 의해 제공된 너도밤나무 숲의 실제 부피 변화를 근사화하기 위해 다양한 변수(나무수, 나무간 거리, 씨앗의 분포, 경쟁)를 반복적으로 수정하여 세 가지 모듈을 결합한 하이브리드 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 유럽너도밤나무 숲의 350년을 모의하여 생장 변화를 예측하였으며, 아이펠 지역의 세 가지 다른 관리 방법 (숲을 보호한 상태에서 목재벌채, 선택적 벌목, 보호림) 시나리오를 적용하였을 때 모의된 결과를 비교하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 나무 생장의 변화가 현실적으로 잘 반영되었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 미래에 장기간 실제 축적된 산림 데이터를 획득하여, 검증과 보정의 과정을 반복한다면 더 높은 정확도의 지역 맞춤형 모델이 개발될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Forest management is known to beneficially influence stand structure and wood production, yet quantitative understanding as well as an illustrative depiction of the effects of different management approaches on tree growth and stand dynamics are still scarce. Long-term management of beech forests must balance public interests with ecological aspects. Efficient forest management requires the reliable prediction of tree growth change. We aimed to develop a novel hybrid simulation approach, which realistically simulates short- as well as long-term effects of different forest management regimes commonly applied, but not limited, to German low mountain ranges, including near-natural forest management based on single-tree selection harvesting. The model basically consists of three modules for (a) natural seedling regeneration, (b) mortality adjustment, and (c) tree growth simulation. In our approach, an existing validated growth model was used to calculate single year tree growth, and expanded on by including in a newly developed simulation process using calibrated modules based on practical experience in forest management and advice from the local forest. We included the following different beech forest-management scenarios that are representative for German low mountain ranges to our simulation tool: (1) plantation, (2) continuous cover forestry, and (3) reserved forest. The simulation results show a robust consistency with expert knowledge as well as a great comparability with mid-term monitoring data, indicating a strong model performance. We successfully developed a hybrid simulation that realistically reflects different management strategies and tree growth in low mountain range. This study represents a basis for a new model calibration method, which has translational potential for further studies to develop reliable tailor-made models adjusted to local situations in beech forest management.
