Due to the recent impact of global warming, heavy rainfall and droughts have been occurring regardless of the season, affecting the growth of Italian ryegrass (IRG), a winter forage crop. Particularly, delayed sowing due to frequent heavy rainfall or autumn droughts leads to poor growth and reduced winter survival rates. Therefore, techniques to improve yield through additional sowing in spring have been implemented. In this study, the growth of IRG sown in Spring and Autumn was compared and analyzed using vegetation indices during the months of April and May. Spectral data was collected using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a hyperspectral sensor, and the following vegetation indices were utilized: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index; NDVI, Normalized Difference Red Edge Index; NDRE (I), Chlorophyll Index, Red Green Ratio Index; RGRI, Enhanced Vegetation Index; EVI and Carotenoid Reflectance Index 1; CRI1. Indices related to chlorophyll concentration exhibited similar trends. RGRI of IRG sown in autumn increased during the experimental period, while IRG sown in spring showed a decreasing trend. The results of RGRI in IRG indicated differences in optical characteristics by sowing seasons compared to the other vegetation indices. Our findings showed that the timing of sowing influences the optical growth characteristics of crops by the results of various vegetation indices presented in this study. Further research, including the development of optimal vegetation indices related to IRG growth, is necessary in the future.

본 연구는 봄 식물계절지수와 기온지표와의 관계를 알아보기 위해 지난 9년간(2010년-2018년) 대구수목원, 팔공산, 주왕산, 가야산에 공통적으로 생육하는 소나무, 일본잎갈나무, 신갈나무, 진달래, 생강나무, 당단풍나무 6종을 대상으로 발아, 개화, 개엽의 봄 식물계절 시기의 변화 경향과 기온간의 관계를 파악하였다. 기온의 변화는 9년동안 2월 보다 3~4월의 월평균 기온이 증가하였으며, 지역별로 수목원과 팔공산의 평균기온이 높았다. 발아, 개화, 개엽은 수종별로 생강나무가 가장 빠르며 소나무가 가장 느렸고, 지역별로 수목원에서 가장 빨리 식물 계절시기가 도래하였다. 봄 식물계절시기는 –1.267~-6.151일 /9년 정도 앞당겨지고 있는 경향을 보이는데 소나무(–6.151일/9 년)가 가장 크며, 진달래(–1.267일/9년)의 변화율이 가장 낮았다. 발아, 개화, 개엽에서 모두 유의한 값을 보이는 수종은 진달래와 소나무로서 이들은 1월~3월 평균기온과 상관관계를 보였다. 봄 식물계절지수(SPI)의 시계열 변화를 확인한 결과 4개 지역의 변화율이 모두 음의 값으로 식물계절 시기가 모두 빨라지고 있었다. 그 중 수목원, 팔공산 및 가야산과 같은 내륙지역일수록 변화율이 컸으며, 다소 거리가 떨어진 주왕산의 경우 변화율이 조금 낮게 나타났다.

The key objective of this study was to evaluate trophic state and empirical water quality models along with analysis of fish trophic guilds in relation to water chemistry (N, P). Trophic state index (TSI), based on total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll-a (CHL), ranged between oligotrophic and hypereutrophic state, by the criteria of Nürnberg(1996), and was lower than the trophic state of total nitrogen (TN). Trophic relations of Secchi depth (SD), TN, TP, and CHL were compared using an empirical models of premonsoon (Pr), monsoon (Mo), and postmonsoon (Po). The model analysis indicated that the variation in water transparency of Secchi depth (SD) was largely accounted (p < 0.001, range of R2 : 0.76–0.80) by TP during the seasons of Mo and Po and that the variation of CHL was accounted (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.70) up to 70% by TP during the Po season. The eutrophication tendency, based on the TSITP vs. TSIN:P were predictable (R2 ranged 0.85–0.90, p < 0.001), slope and y intercept indicated low seasonal variability. In the mean time, TSIN:P vs. TSICHL had a monsoon seasonality in relation to values of TSIN:P during the monsoon season due to a dilution of reservoir waters by strong monsoon rainfall. Trophic compositions of reservoir fish reflected ambient contents of TN, TP, and CHL in the reservoir waters. Thus, the proportions of omnivore fish increased with greater trophic conditions of TP, TN and CHL and the proportions of insectivore fish decreased with greater trophic conditions.
