  3. Backgrounds Global mean temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74±0.18°C during the past century. Climate models referenced by the IPCC project that global surface temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C between 1990 and 2100. The effects of global warming is becoming more apparent on various parts of the world including dynamics in natural ecosystems.

  4. 2005 ① Camellia japonica L. 2000 1996 ③Quercus mongolica ② Sasa quelpaertensis Nakai Backgrounds ③ ① ②

  5. Objectives To choose a suitable climate model in the Korea To verify connection between plant communities and environmental factors To predict potential distribution of Pinus densiflora, Quercus Spp., Alpine Plants and Evergreen Broad-Leaved Plants To assess a vulnerable area in climate change

  30. Results-Alpine Plants

  31. Results-Evergreen Broad-Leaved Plants

  32. Simulated (1971~2000) Results-Evergreen Broad-Leaved Plants Present (1990) Evergreen Broad-Leaved Plants = 0.6503×CI – 0.7949×Tmin

  33. Results-Evergreen Broad-Leaved Plants NIESRAMS Predicted (2041~2050) CCSRNIES Predicted (2041~2050) CGCM2 Predicted (2041~2050) CRIRO-Mk2 Predicted (2041~2050) HADCM3 Predicted (2041~2050)

  34. Results-Evergreen Broad-Leaved Plants

  35. Results-vulnerable area

  36. Conclusion Achievements To challenges associated with predicting and assessing the future climate using RCM distribution of communities to climate change in Korea Limitations and Considerations To examine the potential distribution of communities by correlating the environmental factors without reflecting the natural succession processes Variabilities of multiple RCM output results under various climate change scenarios were not sufficiently considered Ground truth field surveys to enhance the accuracy of the results were not conducted
