초록

본 연구에서는 기후변화에 따른 우리나라 생태계 적응 연구 및 지식현황을 진단하고, 국가의 기초 생태정보가 생태부문의 기후변화 적응 지식 및 근거기반으로 기능하는 현황을 파악함으로써 향후 생태계 분야 기후변화 지식과 생태정보 발전방향에 대해 시사점을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 이러한 측면에 서 우리나라 생태계 관련 국가기관 및 17개 광역지자체 출연연구원에서 생태계 분야 적응연구를 수행하는 연구자를 대상으로, “생태계 분야 기후적응 지식기반 진단 및 정보수요” 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 우리 나라 기후변화 적응정책 수립 연구 수행을 위한 생태정보 활용현황, 생태계 분야 적응지식 향상을 위한 정 보 수요, 생태정보 활용도 증진방안을 도출하였다. 설문응답자의 대다수(90.7%)는 생태정보가 적응 연구 수행과 연관성이 크다고 응답하였지만, 현행 생태정보가 적응 연구 수행에 도움이 된다고 응답한 것은 과 반(53.2%)에 불과하며, 생태정보 전반의 내용 및 품질향상과 함께 ‘기후변화로 인한 생태계 변화(생산성, 군집구조, 먹이사슬, 생물계절, 분포범위, 개체수 등)’에 대한 지식기반 강화 및 정보 구축이 시급한 것으 로 나타났다. 우리나라 연구자들은 생태분야 적응 연구 및 정보생산 고도화를 위해, 지역 생태계 조사 및 인벤토리 구축, 기후변화 모니터링 설계 고도화, 지역 사례연구 필요성을 지적한 가운데, 정보생산을 뒷받 침 할 수 있는 생태계 변화모니터링 지침/가이드라인의 필요성을 강조하였다. 생태정보의 이용 활성화를 위해서는 국가차원의 생태정보 플랫폼 구축을 통해 국가 및 지역의 적응 네트워크를 운영함으로써 지식과 정보를 교류하는 동시에 생태계 유형 및 시공간 정보/지식의 확장이 가장 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

This study aimed at investigating present research and knowledge-base on climate change adaptation in ecosystem sector and analyzed the current status of basic information on ecosystem that functions as evidence-base of climate change adaptation to deduce the suggestions for the future development for knowledge and information in biodiversity. In this perspective, a questionary survey titled as “the ecological knowledge-base and information needs for climate change adaptation” with the researchers who were engaged with adaptation studies for biodiversity in the ecosystem related-research institutes including national and 17 regional local governmentsaffiliated agencies in Korea. The results are as follows; current status of utilizing ecological information which supports climate change adaptation strategy, future needs for adaptation knowledge and ecological information, and activation of utilizing ecological information. The majority of respondents (90.7%) replied that the ecological information has high relevance when conducting research on climate change adaptation. However, only half of all respondents (53.2%) agreed with the real viability of current information to the adaptation research. Particularly, urgent priority for researchers was deduced as intensifying knowledge-base and constructing related information on ‘ecosystem change from climate change (productivity, community structure, food chain, phenology, range distribution, and number of individuals) with the overall improvement of information contents and its quality. The respondents emphasized with the necessity of conducting field surveys of local ecosystem and constructing ecosystem inventories, advancing monitoring designs for climate change in ecosystem, and case studies for regional ecosystem changes with the guidance or guidelines for monitoring ecosystem change to enhance the quality of adaptation research and produce related information. In terms of activation for ecological information usage, national and local adaptation network should be working based on the integrated ecological platform necessary to support exchanges of knowledge and information and to expand ecosystem types in time and spatial dimension.
