Abstract

We analyzed the effects of spatio-temporal variation in the leaf production of oaks on the density and species richness of herbivores, as well as the consumption by herbivores in the east coastal region of Korea, which is an area that has been damaged by forest fires. The main herbivore that feeds on oak leaves was moth larvae. In mid-August the insect larvae showed the highest density and species richness. Approximately 60.5% of total plant-eating insect larvae were present from August to September 2011. Oak leaf production was at its peak from July to August, and the peak damage caused by herbivores was from August to September. Depending on the investigation timing and site of the survey, oak leaf production, larval densities, and species richness showed large variations. The average production of oak leaves between July and August was estimated to be $0.96ton\;ha^{-1}$. The production of oak leaves during this period also showed spatial variations ranging from 0.34 to $1.89ton\;ha^{-1}$. In August, the consumption of oak leaves by the herbivores showed spatial variations ranging from 0.15 to $1.51ton\;ha^{-1}$. Where oak leaves had a higher yield, they tended to increase in density and species richness of the herbivores. As the production of oak leaves increased, so did the overall consumption and consumption rate by the herbivores. This means that the production of oak leaves is highly related to time and space, and there is a concentration response in which the new individuals gather. Research into the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of the food sources and their effects on the higher levels of the food web can help us quantitatively understand and evaluate the structure and functions of the burnt ecosystem that is caused by forest fires.

동해안 산불피해지역에서 참나무 잎 생산량의 시공간적 변이가 초식자의 밀도, 종풍부도 및 초식 피해에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 조사지역에서 참나무 잎의 주요 초식자는 나방 유충이었다. 초식곤충의 유충의 종풍부도와 밀도가 가장 높아지는 시기는 8월 중순이었다. 연간 출현한 초식곤충 유충의 60.5%가 8~9월에 집중적으로 출현하였다. 참나무 잎 생산량이 가장 많은 시기는 7~8월이었고, 초식곤충에 의한 피해가 가장 많은 시기는 8~9월이었다. 조사시기와 장소에 따라 참나무 잎 생산량, 초식곤충의 유충밀도 및 종풍부도는 큰 변이를 나타내었다. 본 조사지역에서 7~8월에 평균 참나무 잎 생산량은 $0.96ton\;ha^{-1}$로 추정되었다. 또한 이 시기에 참나무 잎의 생산량은 $0.34{\sim}1.89ton\;ha^{-1}$의 공간적인 변이를 나타내었다. 8월에 초식자에 의한 참나무 잎의 소비량은 $0.15{\sim}1.51ton\;ha^{-1}$의 공간적인 변이를 나타내었다. 참나무 잎의 생산량이 많은 곳일수록 초식자의 종풍부도와 밀도가 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 참나무 잎 생산량의 증가에 따라 초식자에 의한 소비량과 소비비율도 증가하였다. 이것은 참나무 잎의 생산이 많은 시기와 공간으로 초식자들이 모이는 집중화 반응이 일어난다는 것을 의미한다. 산불피해지역에서 먹이자원의 시공간적인 이질성과 그로 인한 먹이망의 상위단계에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 산불지역 생태계의 구조와 기능을 정량적으로 이해하고 평가하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있다.
