Abstract

We surveyed diversity, distribution and diversity change of mammalian species in forests of the Nature Environment Research Park (Survey Area I; reservoir and surrounding forests, II; human habitat and surrounding forests and III; mountain forests) in Gangwon Province from 2004 to 2008. During our study, endangered species like Peromys volans, Lutra lutra and Prionailurus bengalensis were present in the surveyed areas. Diversity of mammalian species tends to be a little higher in the Survey Area I and III than the Survey Area II. Annual species diversity was a little higher in 2006, and then there was a little reduction from 2007. However, there was higher reduction in the number of individuals from 2007. Therefore, our results indicate that specific measures are needed for preservation of mammalian habitats to maintain the species diversity and the number of mammalian individuals.

본 연구는 2004년부터 2008년에 걸쳐 강원도 자연환경연구공원 내 산림 및 주변 산림지역을 대상(조사구역 I: 호수 및 주변 수변생태계, 조사구역II: 인가 및 주변 산림생태계, 조사구역Ⅲ: 산림생태계)으로 육상 포유동물의 종다양성과 분포현황 및 변화양상을 조사한 것이다. 본 연구 동안 멸종위기종인 하늘다람쥐, 수달, 삵 등이 연구지역 내에 서식하고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 포유동물의 종다양성은 인가 접경 산림인 조사구역II보다는 수변지역인 조사구역I과 산림지역인 조사구역III에서 다양도가 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 종다양성의 변화는 2006년에 다소 증가했으나 2007년부터 미세하게 감소하기 시작했다. 그러나 종수의 미세한 감소와는 달리 개체수는 2007년부터 매우 크게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 연구지역 내 산림에서 포유류의 종다양성과 개체수를 일정하게 유지하기 위한 방안을 마련할 필요가 있다.
