초록

이번 연구는 육상풍력발전단지 내의 육상 곤충상을 파악하고, 발전시설과 관리 도로의 조성으로 발생하는 산림훼손 및 파편화에 따른 곤충 군집의 변화를 알고자 수행하였다. 2017년에 준공된 경상북도 영양과 영덕에 있는 육상풍력발전단지 내 식생이 훼손된 임도와 인근 산림을 조사지로 선정하였고, 2022년 8~9월에 다양한 곤충 군집을 조사하기 위해 맨눈 조사와 야간 조사를 병행하였다. 총 11목 50과 246종 1,076개체가 채집되었고, 나비목 곤충이 38.8%로 가장 큰 비중을 차지했으며, 벌목, 노린재목, 메뚜기목 순으로 확인되었다. 또한 산림과 비교하여 초지의 곤충 종 수가 유의하게 높았고 종 구성도 산림과 초지가 다르게 배열됨을 확인하였다. 비록 단기간의 조사였으나, 육상풍력발전단지의 조성으로 일부 교목의 훼손이 오히려 식생의 다양성이 생겨 육상 곤충의 종 구성과 다양성에 좋은 영향을 줌을 확인하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 육상풍력 발전단지 조성 때문에 생기는 생물상의 변화를 이해하는데 기초적인 자료로 활용되기를 기대해 본다.

This study was conducted to identify changes of insect compositions and diversity after construction of an onshore wind farm. We investigated insect fauna and compositions between a grassland deforested by the construction and a forest located at Yeongdeok and Yeongyang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. Insects were collected using a sweeping net and light trap. A total of 11 orders, 50 families, and 246 species, and 1,076 individuals were collected at study sites. By taxonomic group, Lepidoptera species were the most frequently found with 141 species, 417 individuals (38.8%), followed by Hymenoptera (20.6%), Hemiptera (16.2%), and Orthoptera (12.3%). There were also significant differences in insect species and community compositions between sites. Creating open-field deforested forests are beneficial for some insect groups such as Hymenoptera and Orthoptera. Our results suggest that deforesting by the construction of an onshore wind farm might affect the composition and diversity of insects. Results of this study provide basic data for research on onshore wind farms.
