Abstract

This study aims to create a carbon spatial map to analyze the amount of carbon dioxide absorption on forest soils and tidal flats. First, the coefficient for forest soil in accordance with international standards was determined, and then the amount of carbon dioxide absorption of forest soil by region was estimated. The carbon absorption coefficient of tidal flats was estimated using the coefficients reported in previous studies. The areal data of forest soil and mudflats were obtained from the ‘Forest soil map’ and the ‘2018 mudflat area survey’, respectively. The result showed the total annual carbon sink of forest soil was 1,910,172.01 t C/yr, and when analyzed by province, the annual carbon sink decreased in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do. The decline of forest areas was the main reason for the decrease in both provinces. The total carbon sink of Korea’s mudflats was 224,723.6 t C/yr. The highest carbon sink was estimated in Incheon Metropolitan City, the second in Jeollanam-do, and the third in Chungcheongnam-do. Even though Jeollanam-do had a wider tidal flat than Incheon Metropolitan City, the carbon sink was higher in Incheon Metropolitan. As a result, this study showed the importance and potential role of tidal flats and forest soils in the realization of carbon neutrality in Korea. Also it is expected that important basic data will be used in the establishment of land management plans to achieve carbon neutrality in the future.

본 연구는 산림토양과 해양생태계 중 갯벌에 대한 탄소흡수량을 분석하기 위한 탄소공간지도제작을 목표로 한다. 먼저 산림토양에 대한 계수를 결정한 후 시도별 산림토양 탄소흡수량을 추정하였다. 갯벌의 탄소흡수계수는 기존 연구에서 보고된 시도별 흡수계수를 활용하여 시도별 갯벌 탄소흡수량을 추정하였다. 산림과 갯벌의 면적 자료는 ‘산림입지토양도’와 ‘2018 전국갯벌면적조사’ 자료를 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 산림토양의 연간 총 탄소흡수량은 1,910,172.01 t C/yr로, 시도별로 살펴보았을 때 경상북도와 경상남도 일대에서 연간 탄소흡수량이 감소함을 발견하였다. 우리나라 갯벌의 총 탄소흡수량은 224,723.6 t C/yr로, 인천광역시, 전라남도, 충청남도 순으로 탄소흡수량이 추정된다. 전라남도가 인천광역시에 비해 넓은 갯벌 면적을 가졌음에도 이산화탄소흡수량 계수 차이로 인해 이산화탄소흡수량이 적게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 우리나라의 탄소중립 실현에 있어서 해양갯벌과 산림토양의 중요성과 잠재적인 역할을 보여주었고, 향후 탄소중립 달성을 위한 토지관리계획 수립에 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
